Sometimes people say one thing And their face tells you something very much different. That's why I react. It's your face. But you had a stroke and now it's like I have to re-learn What your face is saying. I'm in the dark When knowing what to do to make you happy. It's scarey. You seem a million miles away. You no longer joke with your eyes. Please don't leave. Don't float off. You're slowly floating away from This little life-raft We have constructed together. I feel guilty for the feeling I have the you're leaving me behind. Because i know it's really a natural thing: We were born into this world alone and we leave it alone. I wonder where we go after this life.. This strange strange life.

The Stroke
To my soul mate: When we meet again, I will apologize for the countless nights I lost faith in us with unforgiving tears in my ears. I know you could not getaway You could not spring forth You could not let go But you would have if you were truly free. I am a brat.. An emotional ******* Maybe it's best if We don't meet again. I'm afraid you'd hate me If you found out the truth That I am more like a daughter than a lover. but then, when I think about seeing your face all lit up in the sun the wind swirling around us like in that dream Then I am sure it would be worth it and you would love me despite who I am. So when we meet again just know I'll be very happy to see you, To feel you and to kiss you. I've been homeless All my life because I know you are my true home. when we meet again it will be our first meeting in this lifetime. And I know it will be the right thing.

When We Meet Again
This middle life, Not here nor there, Wanting past, Waiting future, Never feeling present, Blank and unaware. Is this what has become, Of little burning flame, Fiametta snuffed, in fear and shame? Once touched in love, Baptized insane, yet, Never fully formed, But pushed away, By the same. Distracted now, From the holy source, which once was known, Like instinct of being, Lost now, infinite, escaped orbit. A child more wise Than kings, Goes under blanket, Vanishing screen, Never to appear, Until the next, Karma dream.
