The Best Poem Of KENNETH DIMAILIG

Loved And Hurt

5: 30 AM


LOVED AND HURT


HOW DOES A POET DESCRIBE THE DISTANCE....
BETWEEN LOVED AND HURT...

THE WORDS SHE UTTER-
I QUESTION..
IS IT THE SPACE, THAT EMBRACES THE COLD SOLITUDE...
ALONE IN SILENCE, FORGOTTEN BY TIME
IS IT THE AIR, SHE BREATHES IN LONELINESS
OR THE SKY THAT WEEPS, UPON SEEING HER HEART
BEATING IN DARKNESS..
FROZEN APART...

HOW DOES A POET, PUT HER THOUGHTS INTO WORDS
WHEN THE AGONY OF UNUTTERED LOVE HAS GROWN
UNSPEAKABLE SORROWS HAVE TREMBLED DOWN,
LONGINGS ARE KEPT, FEELINGS ARE LEFT UNTOLD


HOW DOES A POET CONQUER DISTANCE, ,
BETWEN LOVED AND HURT
DOES SHE TAKE GRASP OF THE LOVE...
KISS THE MEMOIRS, OR WATCH THE GLIMMER
OF SILLHOUETTES, THAT COME AND GO
DOES SHE ASK THEM TO STAY,
WHEN THEY CHOOSE TO GO
DOES SHE WATCH THEM LEAVE HER
AND SHOW FEELINGS THAT'R UNTRUE...

DOES SHE SAY SHE DOESNT LOVE HIM?
LIKE WHAT THE EYES SAY TO HER TEARS
WHEN SHE SEES THEM GOING AWAY..
THOSE THAT SHE HELD FOR THE LONGEST TIME
SHE WATCHES THEM FALLING
SHE, IN PAIN, STARES DOWN AT THEM
SHE WHO SADLY BLINKS, TO LET THEM FALL
AND FLOW-
FLUORISH, IN THE GREATEST PRETENSE SHE HAD
THAT THOSE TEARS THAT SHE LET GO
FOR HER ARE UNLOVED


HOW DOES A POET, DEFINE THE LOVE-
BETWEEN LOVED AND HURT
OR HOW LOVE HURTS, WHEN SHE LOVES
WHEN LOVE IS WRAPPED IN THE SINCEREST
BUD OF SILENCE
WHEN IT COVERS HER, FROM THE GENTLENESS OF THE NIGHT
IT COVERS HER, FROM THE FIRE OF LINGERING LIGHT
NUMB, THOUGH HEARTS WHISPER LOVE TO HER SKIN
DEAF, AS THE WIND TOUCHES HER EARS
HOW DOES A POET DEFINE LOVE BETWEEN
WHEN LOVE IS KEPT, IN HER HEART AND INK.
