Poem: Many Ways

Karim Nanvour

11 years ago

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!
