I miss you more than I miss drinking water
Or sleeping at night
I miss you like the wings of a seagull miss the heights
I miss you like a new-born, searching for the mother's breast
Like the eyes of the blind miss light
Like the hands of the dead miss the grasp of life.
I miss you like the waves miss the shore
Like the petals of a rose reach for the sun,
Curl and unfurl 
Then wither and fall
I miss you like the drylands miss the rain
When they crack open with thirst
I miss you like the stars miss the morning sky
Only to see themselves
Fade away 
And die.

They shoot poets, don't they?

Today I ran into my ego.
She did not see me coming.
She was there, she was running.
Into what we know is true.
And what we think is false.
Taking the nature's course.
Meaningless.

Today I ran into my ego.
She was not there.
Stumbled across my own self.
She was a selfish brat.
A reflection of what I could have been.
A different reality.
Between you and me.
Senseless. Stone. Still.

Today I ran into my ego.
She did not know it was me.
She smiled and nodded.
Then hit me in the face.
I did not see her coming.
Now here I am.
Piteous. Selfless. Ill.

     This is the world we live in,
      this is the life we die for.

if you hadn't left
we would have one more plate
on the table
one more cigarette to share
one more place to visit
and to sit by your side
with my head on your shoulder
would be my gift

if you hadn't left
we could have done so much
so much to say
so much to behold
and i would hold your hand
as if it is my ticket
to an unknown land
your breath would be my air
your eyes, my map

if you hand't left
we would have laughed and laughed
about how much we had seen
and how much there is to see
it could be just you and me
against the world
we would sin and sing
your hands on my skin
your shadow, my companion

if you hadn't left
this world would be a better place
my reflection on the mirror
wouldn't stand alone
by the empty glasses, by the empty bed
we would walk down the streets
head up high, hand in hand
like we just saved the day
your steps, my heart beat
