People have ears –
but are deaf,
have eyes –
but blind,
have senses –
but can’t feel
insensitive and weak
Perception is unbreakable
with him
I smell that love
and death
together –
bosom friends,
tied in unbreakable chains
Not a single spell invented
to unbreak the curse
And open eyes and feel
and hear, and smell,
and taste.
Though all is given
thrown in vain
to be mistreated
and forgotten
and lay somewhere deep,
untouched
Though who said it’s not broken?
