The way to her house
The way to her house is covered with flowers;
They bloom as you silently walk through the night.
You step among daffodils counting the hours
Straight to her door, hypnotized by the light.
The way to her house is covered with guilt;
She gives you a kiss and pushes your back.
The road is well known and daffodils wilt
Squeezed by your feet as you make your way back.
The way to her house is covered with blame;
My curse has been written on all of the trees.
I rue her embraces, her lips and her name
That left me alone to crawl on my knees.
The way to her house is covered with trust;
I open the door believing your vows
And then in the darkness, guided by lust,
You make one more step on the way to her house.

the way
This poem is a bit different from your others, more lyrical maybe. Just every bit as deep and engaging, though. I always love the last line of a Nitta poem.
Thank you
I want to reveal you my secret. I consider my poem successful only if it is commented by some certain persons and you are the first among them. I had awful doubts when posting this piece, by the way.
It doesn't matter how slow you go, as long as you don't stop
