An Emblem Of your Love

How do you value those who touched you  
Where none has ever touched ?
including yourself  
those who have drunk from the streams  
of your warm wet body with the palms of their hands  
their thirst remains unquenched  
and those whose feelings you touched.  
What about those who have fallen into abyss of your heart  
A heart that is too steep to climb.  
   
Is your inner most feelings    
The furthest distance to reach?  
Those who left themselves could not reach you  
And couldn’t return as they left themselves  
Not with their courageous heart but breathing lungs  
Locked in memories: remembering embracing you in their chest  
Or shaking hands with your breast  
Dreaming of dancing together with tongues  
Your breath deep in their lungs  
    
What is that is so lovely in your unlikable ways?  
Truth doesn’t lie in the lips but in the tongue is the taste  
why did you kiss their cold cheeks  
with your burning lips?  
Look at their faces: immutable and possessed  
Perceptions erased, impressions effaced  
A flag raised half-mast  
An emblem of your love  
   
Look at them: weary and weak  
One of them so wicked and  
Another, he and his flesh went separate ways  
Leaving his skin hugging his bones
So Lost in expressiveness of your love .

Christmas tree is lovelier of all tress  
But has no shade or bore no fruit  
Your beauty is no more than  
A hidden veil of your weakness  
So mysterious- yet a public secret  

Why did you made them walk away?
Were they not worthy or obliged to stay
Who taught you how to dance in another tune?  
A rhythm different from the beats of the drums  
Are You what most find it tough to love?  
or what almost everyone find it hard to leave?
