Love But... Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Love but…

Have tried and try
To run, run
-far and far
To avoid wall of love
Cage of the burning love…

But arrested I am
As bird in the cage
So forget
Yes forget
And forget

Love is death
Love is death
Love is death
And sweet
And sweet
And sweet

Help me die
In the love
And drunk
And drugged
And drugged
And drugged

Like the day I took it by mistake
The opium's milk as mother's!

So help me
To forget, and forget, and forget
That love is
Death, death, death
Love is death
Help me to remember
It is sweet, sweet, sweet

Help me die
And in love
And drunk!
