Redundant Writhing

Everyday my songs pour out,
The aching never ceases -
No word has soiled this feeling,
Just as no word has soiled you;
Even if I could dance about,
Stepping in time, one to another,
This reason, that cause -
It would be better.
No respite, only redundant sensation,
A drum beat endless and perfect,
Redundantly repetitive, yet varied,
Stretching and contracting,
Swelling and subtracting,
On, and on, and on
As I writhe in the sensation of life.

No word has soiled this feeling,
Just as no word has soiled you;

This is filled with sincere emotions,
and I am partial to that in a poem.

Nicely done majnu~

I really love this, it's so wonderfully put together.. Great writing
