Always

Always

I regret ever uttering the word
Always
I regret even thinking it
Always is a word
For liars and the ignorant
It poisons the present
And all good things residing in it

I will enjoy you
For now
And as long as you will allow

I can't promise that I'll always love you
I can't even promise to think of you in old age
It may be comforting
To say such things
But truly, that wretched word
Carries only destruction
And plague
We are together
-- Entwined, united by some
Transitory, ineffable force --
For now
And that will satisfy me
I can't help but want all of you
That is something I am currently
Unable to change

Just promise
To never whisper Always
Because I'll know that you are lying

Simply be mine
*For now

Metamorphosis

Charles Bukowski

Metamorphosis

a girlfriend came in
built me a bed
scrubbed and waxed the kitchen floor
scrubbed the walls
vacuumed
cleaned the toilet
the bathtub
scrubbed the bathroom floor
and cut my toenails and
my hair.
then
all on the same day
the plumber came and fixed the kitchen faucet
and the toilet
and the gas man fixed the heater
and the phone man fixed the phone.
noe I sit in all this perfection.
it is quiet.
I have broken off with all 3 of my girlfriends.
I felt better when everything was in
disorder.
it will take me some months to get back to normal:
I can't even find a roach to commune with.
I have lost my rythm.
I can't sleep.
I can't eat.
I have been robbed of
my filth.

Sunday mornings

One day you wake up early on a Sunday morning because of the sunlight peeking through your curtains. You decide to get some coffee at the coffee shop around the corner and you sit there reading your favourite book, drinking your as-usual-ice-coffee when eventually a complete stranger walks up to you. The two of you start talking and it feels like you've known eachother for like ever. You order another coffee, and another one. And that morning you didn't even dare to think of the fact that the next Sunday morning you would wake up next to the love of your life.

— The End —
