To Artina:
I will take your heart
I will take your soul out of your body
As though I were God.
I will not be satisfied
With the little words you say to me.
I will not be satisfied
With the touch of your hand
Nor the sweet of your lips alone.
I will take your heart for mine.
I will take your soul.
I will be God when it comes to you.
-Langston Hughes

to me: i will take care of you, emotionally, physically... i will always be there... my interpretation
ReplyDeleteOC!!! How are you!?
ReplyDeleteSomeone actually sent me this poem. And I took it to mean that the physical, the sexual, isn't even enough. He wants her, loves her, so much he wants to own her, wants her very soul. And when the man gave me this poem, there was something achingly, hauntingly, disturbingly, sexy about it.
