Unforgettable Forgetfulness
Unforgettable Forgetfulness
O dear heart!
Why do you plead?
Do you remember
when didn't you bleed?
Aching scars and opaque looks
Want you to unhinge
the dangling hooks.
Why do you dither
at muted calls?
How do you soar
with galling falls?
Is it your strength
Or the love Platonic?
Keeps you alive
With a tonic tectonic.
Give Up! Discard!
Loatheful traditions.
You are a mortal
and not a magician.
O my heart!
Vent up my voice.
My body is scarred but
Cold soul to be advised.
Ask it to be forgetful-
Of waning memories,
Though they're pleasant but
With abounding blemishes.
Could you recall your real self?
-the sublime self, you undermined.
O poor you!
Wake up! Arise!
You're not a bait but
-a damsel divine.
