change forgets to change

      where did my genuine smile go?
     replaced with this hole;
     this empty eyed routine
     i do with my face.

    where did their love go?
    replaced with those very
    many questions
    and aristocratic doubts.

    where did my words hide?
   the fountain of them
    on nights as this
    in them i drowned.

   where did you go?
leaving her with a lump in the
chest region_
the cancer,of which
she died of a year or so later.

   where was everything as they were
before we changed,
it's all different now_
everything is:
the cold, the heat,
the wind, the rain,
they all forget their season.
trees no longer sway,
perfumes forget their scent
the man who knew me once
has forgotten my name.
the spiders are no more web spinning,
roaches forget to scavenge,
pain itself forgets to hurt
and my worn eyes
forget the how to sleep:

so i sit awake at three fifteen a.m.
wondering when the whole world
turned this mad

When my answers come

Life was designed to last once for every individual and as much as that sucks, it is true. We roam through life trying to figure out the true essence of existence and while that urge might be higher in some, it is lower for others.
I mean, who cares about all of the serious stuff in life right? Roll up some weed, light it, smoke up some dose of daily conviction. Look forward to a what could be a better alternative for essence.
Truth be told, every single one of us humans on the surface of Earth, have that moment. A time when probably in a car driving to work, amid the endless news on the radio, it hits you- the realization of something beyond every individual you pass by on the streets, every nod you get in response to your greeting, every shade of pupils you've stared into.

And yeah, while some might boldly step out and share in an engaging tone, how, they realized, once, years back, the X, Y, Z, that led to making a significant decision in their lives, I sit there and wonder. I wo…

SEVEN MINUTES IN HEAVEN

seven minutes in heaven;
seven minutes counting
heart beats by the second.
six minutes in heaven;
all the while tapping feet
on shaky wooden floorboards
in nervous delight.

five minutes in heaven;
five minutes counting
down to reality:
a beastly, slimy one.
four minutes in heaven;
wondering if by chance
or luck or grace,
a glimpse of an angel
would suffice.

three minutes in heaven,
and lo a ladybird atop
your nose tickles,
dances, wiggles, jiggles,
then away, flies.
two minutes in heaven,
two minutes or the next,
daydreams finally might come
to be:
visions of sunny skies,
silly side aching laughs_
chocolatey gums,
all on display
for my ever aching eyes.

a minute left in heaven
the last, the longest,
the shortest it seems,
the last before you wake
and stare at
the computer screen
in a crowded
noisy bureau,
someplace.

you sigh.
"of course it was unreal."
