Love Kills Poem by Benjamin Chiu Uy

Love Kills

Its the unknown that kills us
out of the blur,
out of an evening dalliance.
as an evening blues,
theroughening factors,
we hadn't thought before,

a passionate calls,
small wants,
the body can't afford,
regretted but accepted
anyway,

the excess of sex,
out of a token drug,
a knife thrust,

a lover's revenge,
the hard blow,
the loss of consciousness,

The big shocks
after the inflicted pain,
the organ failures,
the whacking
nerve's overloads,

the multiplying effects
the disrupted biorhythms,
The massive heart stoppage,

Everything waswritten
by the coroners,
the time of death
The names of kins, spouses
and relatives,

the sombre thought,
Love kills,
the unknown's
darken events
Rage as a blur,
out of the blues,
love kills,
the deeply wounded,
