"I need you to tell me that I'm good, Diane"

 Please tell me that I'm wrong. Even if I'm right, even if there's no way out from it, tell me once, look at my eyes as they shine for the speck of wisdom in vanishing moonlight and tell me, it's going to be all right. Even if the sky dances into blinding sunshine, even if the air remains vapid or the tigers sleep quietly within dark patches for centuries, look at me and tell me that you think about me. Lie to me even if I'm right about stars dying before us, about the nature of desire in human beings, lie to me about the comforts of connectedness or the awakening when the world goes blind - say, for one great goddamn moment, that you also think like me, you also thought of change and maybe have me around you and then something broke within you, never to be fixed again despite the fact that you and I both exist under the same sky, under the same skin and body and an illusion of different mind, despite flowers bloom even if we don't think about them or the sun shines or night descends even without us, despite that there was everything to love and nothing to hope for.

Dispassion

 Once you watch everything from a distance, even the desolate mornings, even the desolation itself, or the one who experiences it - a certain ease sets into being. Understanding that nothing ever lasts apart from the ancient urge to survive in the face of eternal doom, Man finally is born, suffering is born. What is life but the simplest kind of droplet inside the ocean, the breeze that blows and outpours itself to death inside the atmosphere in which it was born, the fire that eats away its own mortal candlestick, where human happiness and human despair were tradable instruments which were passed from generations to generations beyond while people start to talk mindlessly about ecstasy or suffering but never gaze into any of them out of sheer fear, because once you gaze into the depth of anything then everything dissolves into pure nothingness, and you live and I live and we all live in a shell - playthings for eternity with which she started to play but forgot instantly and ...

Love Poems

 As I live, I breathe through the unceasing monotony of a clock, of speeding cars downstairs on the road, the sound of trees dying in quiet midnight - in spring or when winter ceases to be a part of you, of your supposed ignorance like winter, as I live through the deafening distances of solitary love poems, all under the same hypnosis of the great grand happily ever after, as I live through this obligation of being happy, and the love poems become something else, the soiree turns blind like the dark summer evening outside, and you, and some distant unknown history of being with you, of a sorrowful coexistence longing for eternity, that which clearly survives through every goddamn thing within man, and you... and you under the sun, and you for every love poem I've ever written as I live through this, and you for every houseplant nurtured and died and mourned for, and you who see dead cells as stars, and you in quietness, you in melancholy, you in sombre simpleness of being, you in ...

Urge to live

 There is no "I" when the thought arises at the end of a drunken night, the meaning of "I" is dissolved, there is nothing inside you, there is nothing inside us, only a few words remain for a saddening submission to the universal silence, days and nights pass like simple meditative states when people hear their favourite songs, blue sky melts into the blue horizon of the sea, blue afternoons live between us, but love is compromised, peace is a romantic dead end, you are a flower into my life, and that is everything that I know, that is the Truth of existence, the simple guesswork that everything looks as it seems, and I rediscover a self, probably that illusion is a necessary condition for living, help me live, help me be a normal human being, help me to live, to live and laugh within this sickness.
