"What if I Died Today?"

What if I died today? 

Would you wake

From our silence, 

Call out my name

Again and 

Again?

What if I died today? 

Would it mean to you

An endless romance or

Just an 

Abrupt end to something

That could have meant 

Nothing? 

What if I died today? 

What if

I died today? 

Would you say 

Aloud you regret? 

Regret 

That we let

Sadness just form itself

Into reality, 

That we let such

A beautiful thing

Slip,

Creep,

Breathe away. 

What if I died today?

How many seconds would

Tears fill my mother’s 

Eyes? How many questions would

Be, but not asked, and

How much void would be filled

With fragments of memory? 

And if I died today, 

How many days would it be

Until you genuinely and 

Completely

Forget 

About me?

"Being" I & II

“Being I: Body”

Body is free 

From company,

Street air, 

Strangers,

Non-strangers.

Mind is free

Again to think about you. 

Separate now

From everyday’s 

Company

And routine

And things to do

And nothing to do

And him

And her

And what else

Then I realized,

my desire is dark

And somehow hollow,

Somehow desperate,

Somehow constantly 

Missing the past. 

“Being II: Soul”

Where does it belong,

This heavy soul without

Mass?

The body is barely 

Dragging it around. 

The body is 

Not merely a carrier of

This massive, loud,

Wild,

Intolerably wishful,

Spoiled soul. 

But a mind of its own? 

What else

"Sleepless Frankness"

At dawn,

Impeccably forlorn,

I

Was alone.

My fears,

My longings

Reappeared.

So clear—

My sleepless soul 

Had dawn woken. 

Unintentionally,

My mind was captive—

Brutally—

Frank and awoken.
