Once again,
I got to fool myself.
Emotions are not to be trusted
I grieve before I
mechanically do
whatever they want me to.

Once in a while i stop, feel it,
Act upon it,
then realize how badly
I deluded myself

How does someone internalize
other people to such an extent?
There is no I,
but only you and us.

I am aware but not powerful enough;
It seems breaking the pattern is difficult
and instead
I break my own heart.

I am convinced.
You are the love of my life.
Why couldn’t I
be the love of yours too?

He is convinced.
I am the love of his life.
Why couldn’t he
be the love of mine?

You were convinced.
She was the love of your life.
Why couldn’t you
be the love of hers?

No reciprocation,
yet
You are still the love of my life
I am still the love of his
She is still the love of yours.

a nightmare you might call it

eyes popping
tounges clicking

a romance you may call it

tears burning
hearts tearing
eyes locking

warped pictures, distorted bodies, remembering the cards
in whatever order

the lovers came alive, death followed closely,
who are you
who am i?
separated by time
but united by the fool

if i at any moment should pass on
as we all must
i want everyone to know
i have made peace with life
and so, i have made peace with death.

so don’t mourn
i am at peace now,  and so
i will be at peace then

my beloved,
what do i do
if i never see you again?

what if
words exchanged
were the last ones
to be so?

what if i
were
never
able
to let go

what if i
have to
keep on
turning
in my grave

The child cried, tranquility, where are you?
I’m yearning for more
There is no chaos, only order
but then, where is your door?

The door to the eternity
Where there’s neither right or wrong,
the place in which only the nothingness
hums its content song

The door to the emptiness, which people so greatly fear
Just because the emptiness is neither a place
Nor anywhere near here

The door that people hid inside the labyrinth of constant horror
Sooner or later, they all will find it
or it finds them,
Leaving behind
Burning traces of sorrow

Their minds fear it
keeps their body awake
But the labyrinth of constant horror
is just a labyrinth
And the door is just another door
So sleep, or lie awake
until you can’t
Anymore

I hope these are the words that doesn’t fade,
I hope we’re building a mountain
and not yet another wave.
I hope the day
we see our reality collapse,
we can stand there and say
at least,
we made made a promise
out of a perhaps.

I hope our roots are intertwined,
not our branches or our leaves
They are, unless the future lied,
I hope the depths care for our seed.

I wish our mountain would grow
mainly from tears of joy
and rarely from tears of sorrow
I hope your smile never feel constrained
I wish your rivers would sparkle
without any glimpse of pain.

And, oh, I wish life would never invade
and I wish that nighttime never
darkened the following day
I guess you can say
I hope nothing lasts forever,
though only in certain ways.

But of course, I know
nothing makes a mountain grow
like darkness, like storms
Like rain.
