Section Me

Section Me

A Poem by ShameemAkhtar

Section my veins
And plant the seeds of your love
Deep in my flesh


Let it creep
Along the pipelines

Let it swim
In the river of life


Section my brains
And paint your image
Along the sinews of grey


Mould them
Into the statue of love

Etch yourself
In the engine of reason


Section my pains
And sprinkle the salt of sugar
Make a lemonade of your love


Give me a drink
Of the poisoned nectar
Let my parched lips kiss
The chalice of doom


Open my skull
And irrigate my brains
Let my veins
Drain


Sow the seeds of my pains
Bury them in me


Let the needle flow
And pierce its way
Let it unblock
Unclog the holes
Let my veins breathe


Section me
And free me


Free me of my blood
Free me of my thoughts
Carve open my soul
Take out my bowels


Rinse my inner parts in acid
Give it an alkaline bath
Purify it with corrosive
Explode the insanity of my heart


But give me…


The roots of your love tingle too much

Ugh. First time I read it I had goosbumps and was really creeped out with the idea of piercing and worming under the skin (disection is not the greatest thing for my stomach sometimes.) but I read it again and I GOT it.
So very vivid and intriguing in it's own personal way.

Very interesting setup you have here. You have a few topics and interpretations that I have interpreted differently. "Plant the seeds" as giving you new life. I thought of just "freeing you from your pain" as end your life. The inner pain could be the life that is lived. Almost like the life itself is lived through the this poem. Splendid work!
