#mementomori
Wild flowers in the field
swaying east - then west.
Their soft aromic tapestry
is woven in her breast.
Vibrancy in many hues,
a swaying verdant quilt;
mirroring her beauty when,
upon them, she was spilt.
A subtle sound, of melody,
whispers through the leaves;
sung by all the wild things,
conducted by the trees.
The wind performs a eulogy,
it lays her down to rest.
Heard by none but wild flowers
growing in her chest.

The hospital's rush hour gives way to night's stillness, and you're lost in thought, contemplating the fragility of life.
When you look into a patient's eyes, you're reminded of the finite nature of time and how people spend their lives making memories.
As you fight to stay awake, your mind races with questions about legacy.
In this world, people are disposable.
You see compassion, malice, and indifference in the gaze of others when you're most vulnerable.
The walls appear to whisper truths. You absorb the conversations, but deep within, you know when your body succumbs, you'll be discarded, forgotten. Who, then, is your life for?

I want to enjoy us
As long as it lasts
To dive deeper into you
With every breath
I want us to remember
That we're not endless, love
Is in every moment here
Whenever we are present
Will you really embark
On this journey with me?
It may sometimes get dark
Too dark for us to see...
With a broken heart life seems heavy, I know
But your soul's still alive,
And sure, we can mend the wounded parts,
Together we have two strong hearts.
May we remember
To surrender for as long
As it lasts,
I speak to you of trust,
Through guilt, shame, pressure, fears and doubts,
I hope you hear this quiet voice
Sometimes my tears and admiration
Show you my very deep sensation...
I am on the path of self-reconnection
Of deepening my own relation,
I have come out of the stagnation
I love in waves and move in states of
Self-reconciliation.
Share more with me!
I love your soft kind voice,
I love your being,
It is full of joy!
Is love coincidence
Or is't a conscious choice?
I can imagine everything as new,
And brace for miracles with you.

Woe is the child
That turns 14
When life was already lived
Before he was keen.
Woe is the soul whom
When asked why he cries
He shuts down
Shuts up
And rolls his eyes.
Woe is the boy
Turning 14
Scared to lose himself
Nowhere to be seen.
I see you.
I hear you.
I love you too.
But I'm afraid to lose you
Far too soon.
Yours, Vivere.

It was only a matter of time
Until the clock runs zero
We've had happy times
But we have also had somber times
Now it is time to prepare the casket
But this is not a time to grieve
This is a time to celebrate the memories we have made
They might be gone
But as long as they are not forgotten
then they will never truly die

Memento Mori
A phrase that really sticks with me
It plays in my head over and over
Sometimes I wish that I could hear it somber
Memento Mori
It reminds me how everyone sees me
The good and the bad. The happy and sad
I always wonder if their words are true
Memento Mori
The phrase that reminds us that death is coming
That the ones I love might leave before me
Sometimes the thought makes me always look forward
Memento Mori
This phrase is one of death
One of life and one of the best
Some say they don't like it and wait in fear
I want to welcome it's whisper in my ear
So when it creeps up on you and those you care for leave
Just remember that they have really just planted a seed
One that will grow into a tree
It will hold all the memories for all to see
It keeps getting closer and closer
And when it reaches just make sure to remember
Memento Mori, Memento Mori

Time runs faster
When it’s running out
Numbers sprinting towards the end
Only to be faced
With a brick wall
There’s no finish line ahead
There’s no winning
No participation trophy
Just the inevitability of death
Time speeding up still
Pronounced by the chimes
Of the clock your head
Will you make your life’s conclusion
As worthwhile as it’s intro?
Memento mori,
Hurry, my friend
Your time will soon reach zero.

No one is making it out of here alive .. Not the obsessive compulsive hand washer who is picky lest he catches a germ no antibiotics can cure;
Not the pious cleric who prays righteously in hope for a safe haven in the next world;
Not the lovers on the tree tops who are deluged knee deep in a hormonal immortality of old;
Not the millionaire who will do anything to have that transplant only to extend his sufferings in this world !
Not even the hedonistic party animals who have anyway accepted their fate.. No! None of us are making it out of here ..
We will cease to be ! Will be forgotten ! Our innards eaten by worms as we become fodder for the grass that grows on our graves .. Love your fate then .. Cherish this life .. this gift to think .. it wades out in to the ocean where we will all meet .. not as an individual .. but as a collective whole _ a consciousness this Earth has inherited and continue to resculpt '

We write prose in
the dead-cold Winter air,
where the old works we
cared for are frozen.
We buried their poets
in the dirt, along with
their bones, beneath
sleet headstones
of inscriptions meant
for the passerby.
Soon Spring’s rain shall
wash the prayers away, and
her warmth will deliver us
from poetry to life.

Dirt caked crust
Gives way
To layers of mantle
Above afflicted fireplace
Bearing picture frames
Bitter memories
Pride, then regret
Memento mori
I will not die here
Two tiers from hell
I feel it burning
In my core
Patiently waiting
To take me in pity
As I wish it had done
Before
