I need to know you

by Sam Vaknin — Read all 25 poems by Sam Vaknin

You,

the stirrings of a curtain, dust

settling on sepia cukoo clocks

Thursday, October 19, 2006

I need to know you

even as I never know my self

that phantom ache

of amputated innocence

You,

the stirrings of a curtain, dust

settling on sepia cukoo clocks

covers obscuring

Perhaps one day you will become

a benign sentence

an agency

through which to be.

This is a beautiful poem. The words, "I need to know you even as I never know myself" have such deep meaning. I admire your style of writing. Please stop into my den when you have a chance, and let me know what you think of my work. I will be tracking your work, as I am quite curious.
