Elegy To Myself

All those years of wishes, craving, feelings of wanting to be loved -
Disappear without shadows 
But weeping and loud wailing on my grave stone–
Is what remain

Tears falling like spring water on my brick face
In grave with companies of worms and exotic termites
From men of colors in black suits
Singing chorus of we love you 
But the messiah loves you more

Love! 
That, they never share
Love! I never knew

My life’s journey was like a tempest 
Falling and crashing without reaching save harbor
And laughter made of fiction 
Only dreadful dreams come true
The heartily wishes never come through 

Loosing fate in life 
Then death come to take me 
To the place of my dream –
In grave
