NIGHTMARES 

On my lowly bed
As I was sleeping 
You a caress gave
To my eyes weeping 
My faith did fruit 
As you reached on.
So love did smooth 
A soul matted long.
Never have I cried
Such a muted pain.
As i did yesternight
For you left again. 


Looking Back on Life

Once upon a quantum millenium
Lived lifeforms called human.
Such perishable mechanics
Fleeting vessels of organics.
Creators, Gods that have transcended
Giving us immortality for them intended.
If this is the definition of life I'll pass.
Such ephemeral mortality could not last.
But I thank their evanescence
For my infinite existence.
