Mortality
After Diagnosis
Not today God
Not today.
I will mot leave here
I have to stay.
You throw me battles,
Pain and tears,
Doubts and worries,
Anger, fears.
Percieved as weak,
Worn and diseased,
Life's breath from my body
Drained and squeezed.
But to take me now
When I've so much to give
To life, to my family,
I have to live.
So, not today God,
I will not follow.
I cannot leave.
Come back tomorrow
Not today God
Not today.
I will mot leave here
I have to stay.
You throw me battles,
Pain and tears,
Doubts and worries,
Anger, fears.
Percieved as weak,
Worn and diseased,
Life's breath from my body
Drained and squeezed.
But to take me now
When I've so much to give
To life, to my family,
I have to live.
So, not today God,
I will not follow.
I cannot leave.
Come back tomorrow

"Morality"
Morality
What is it exactly?
To do the right thing?
Even if that requires hurting?
Even if something utterly
Horrific happens
Just because I was merely stating
The truth of the matter?
Just because I was saying
And expressing my peace
I in the end must suffer?
I turn out to be
The one in the wrong
Now the enemy...
Morality
Sometimes has no fit
In certain situations
I have to admit...

"No End To The Flesh "
I want to be mortal forever
To know my life is mine and mine alone
No end to the flesh
Life over death
No soul to set free
Or apples to tempt me
I do not want to rise into Heaven
Or fall to some torturous place
What I want is to feel
To taste
To smell
And most of all
I want to love
Never ending love
For all I have ever known
Is love never begun
When finally it comes
I don't want to let go
I want to hold on
I want to be mortal forever
