reincarnation



what will I know of me

what will stay in memory

what will become


what if I came back as a

stone buried inside a mountain

never amounting to anything

what if I came back as a

diamond in a wedding ring

never expressing my own love


  (will you recognize me)


what if I became a speck of

alga among a billion in bloom

or a virus in the urine stream 

of a city rat


  (will you despise me)


what if I'm the fragrant smell 

of a teenage girl's first rose

or the delicious aroma of

movie theater popcorn

or the pleasance of

aftersex skin


  (will you delight in me)


what if I never meet you again

what if we only continue to keep

reliving further and further apart

what if this chance is the 

best one we'll ever get


  (will you live now

   and love with me)


what if I don't want to 

come back around here


what if I scream 

No More!

No More! 

No More!


what if its not my choice


oh god... 


what if its not my choice



(The Poet by Reynier Llanes on snowangelsoul.tumblr.com)
