Once upon a time

I was once a happy man;

and then I found a mirror

that taught me how to hate.

~

I could once talk to people;

and then I spoke to me

and learnt the art of guilt.

~

I enjoyed looking around;

and then I looked within

and learnt the depth of darkness.

~

I could once hear the birds that sing;

and then I heard my heart

and learnt what deafness means.

~

I could once smile unknowingly;

and then I saw them laugh

and learnt how to compare.

~

I could once just be me;

and then I saw them all

and forgot who I am.

Dreamt dreams

I dream of dreams forgotten and

left to dust on life's pedastal.

I dream of dreamy dreams dreamt while

sleepwalking through the alleys of life.

I dream of nothingness, coated

with a little of everything

I dream of plain canvasses, sprinkled

with the blood of dreams that died :

while I dreamt of dreams I hadn't dreamt.

Never knowing that those that died were truly mine.

Me and You

In the silence of my thoughts

I reach a dark palace, and

in its darkest corner I see you.

~

In the clamor of disjoint voices

I reach a white sand sea, and

in its prettiest shell I see you.

~

But you are just me, Aren't you ?
