Short Short Short Poems

           if I ever meet myself

  I probably wouldn't recognise me

     I've changed a lot since then

the day I died
was a rainy one
but the sun came out
in the nick of time
I can laugh about it now
but it was a worry...

let's escape tonight
leave this drum behind
without packing
without our phones

just take our scars
and sculptured bones
we notched upon each other...

thunder crashes. . . . 
near the fireplace I inhale
rain’s scent in your hair

you snuggle
warmly in my arms. . . .
I taste your mouth

I’ve scraped together peace where I could find it
When sorrowed, I no longer feel the need to hide it

I’ve played the role again 
Of a child’s favorite toy
Cherished for a short, short while
Then forgotten and cast away 
 

Well, i no longer care...
Life will ever be unfair
But it goes on, so I should too, 
and I’ll have to play this game
without you.

We will be together once again;
Lining mongst heaven’s host;
Meet in the spirit;
Presently future tense terrific;
Hallelujah;
Eventually in a little while;
Meet in the spirit;
In a short, short while;
While all the while in a twinkling of an eye;
Meet in the spirit;
We’re be together again ;
Meet in the spirit;

Here where there`s reason to mourn
Here where the rivers sob at all times,
Who would enter the day with a song?
Who would look at the glancing sun?

Who would dance where misery`s the beat?
Who would laugh where sorrow`s the joker?

In this place of ours
where the fear of the unknown
rages without end,
where misfortune pours upon our heads
her lover`s oil,
where all we do is die in short-short slices;

Who would rest?
Who would slumber?
Who is able to drink of sleep`s cup/...
