Tell Me Poem by Eila Mahima Jaipaul

Tell Me

Rating: 5.0


How can a person feel that they have lost
what they have never had...
miss,
what they have never known
remember,
what never was
hunger,
for what they've never tasted

How can they smell, the smell of you
when they've never been on that place on your neck,
right behind your ear
how can they feel
the softness of the spot
between your navel and your hip
when their lips have never touched it

Tell me how do I know you
when you were never here to begin with
then tell me how to erase you

i can't just read and not say anything. your poetry enchants and enthralls. the words bring me to a literary realm where delight is endless. there is intelligence and drama. you are, in the truest sense of the word, a poet. increase your tribe.
