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

Very unique and interesting! You make love sound so pleasant and physically uncomfortable at the same time :-P I really enjoyed reading this poem.

I like the way you used the language. The poem was direct and the like the pace and the strength of each set of lines.
Let the needle flow
"And pierce its way
Let it unblock
Unclog the holes
Let my veins breathe"
Thank you for a excellent poem.

Love is a right royal pain in the...wherever, isn't it? :) But there's a saying: "Don't hate love!" You've captured that sentiment well in this piece.

Interesting poem
I enjoyed watching you be
disected little by little.
That love must be strong
to tingle more than
alkaline acid bath.
Nice poem!

You fell and fell hard, huh? Their's a needy, desperate quality to it that shows love and the need to be loved back... and has honestly inspired me. Good job =)
