Love me for my virtues, I shall someday Hate me for my failings, let me today Fragments, I will sew them together one day. Fall apart in several pieces, let me today. Dance in monsoon rains, I shall someday Oceans in my eyes; let them flow today On roses, on velvet, I shall rest someday On razor sharp thorns; let me roll today Desires, dreams; I’ll have some day Despair is here, let her consume me today If chance is upon me, in merriment Let me live, a little that day. Now discount the world & be silent Let me. Let me die, a little today.
