Poem: Many Ways

By Karim Nanvour

February 08, 2014

I loved you in too many ways The ravenous roots of your love grew deeper Maddening me gently At the end of every nerve in my body

I opened up to you in too many ways Unwrapping like a half packed gift You touched every secret vein in my soul Every weak spot of my being

You live within me now Like a sacred dead language of the past Still colonizing my memories With your mysteriously bewitching tongue

You shattered me in every possible way

My love, I should have loved you in fewer ways! I should have loved you in fewer ways!
