Senseless
I am hooked,
looking at my 4-sided prison-
wondering whether to click a button
or wait just a moment more.
I am indecisive,
To use the pointer
or the middle.
Reset.
I am trapped,
Bridging the reality
beyond this 2-dimensional confinement.
With the authority of a single switch,
Everything will be changed-
Mistakes will be rectified,
Perspectives will be renewed.
Start.
Boot...
Log...
Entry...
PASSWORD DENIED.

Song of Myra
To the one who came out of nowhere, without me planning it, without me seeing it- she came from the wrong place, at the wrong time, in the wrong circumstances to be the right thing...
The world is a haze as I wake
to the smell of fresh coffee,
of bacon and eggs, of the clattering of metal
to bright lights and of the incessant honking of cars.
Vaguely, I had the fleeting recollection-
of bodies intertwined and sheets being dragged.
I remember the warmth churning and roiling,
rising within, begging to be expelled.
I remembered how cold it was outside,
and how lucky we are, right here...
invisible from everyone else, oblivious of the world.
It seemed like a lifetime ago.
I remember you whispering
right before you succumbed to sleep,
how you feared of letting go,
how everything will eventually end.
I was placid-
wondering how much truth you've mentioned
in that single, profound confession,
like my own thoughts read back to me.
Now you stand on my bedroom door,
your smile inviting me to appreciate the morning.
Right then, just seeing you, I knew...
this might not be permanent-
this might not last-
this may just be a story
from someone else's life-
but right there, right then,
for only but a half-beat in time-
I lived.
