when I die

When I die - and I shall die

before you - I wish so much

you won't cry. Receive me with

an innocent hug - so innocent

that angels will become jealous.

And, having me in your arms

like never before, then

close my eyes with a kiss.

​

I, dead,

will sail the seven seas,

and the trail of my boat

you'll follow in your thoughts. Think

of me, my dreams, and my sorrows...

And, if you see me approaching the pier of hell,

you'll see me seated on the waves,

smiling to you.

You, Lucifer,

Welcome me with that hug...

Not a hug of who's hollow

or might become. A hug made of love,

to someone you've waited for waves.

When we kiss - and I know we will

live in each other, in the same body

with no lies or truths, through life

and death and life in death.

II

I promise you no tomorrow,

but today will last forever. And your gate

will be my gate, and your heart

my heart. Move

dust from the gates to

write my name in your heart, and make

a drawing of the lost

and Lucifer - an oyster

and a pearl. And sometimes

we pretend we remember

and sometimes we remember

sometimes - we lose years to find

all we lost in a moment.

III

Look me in the eyes

and tell me you live

for me - give up your hell,

my Lucifer. And send

them all to heaven - carried

by angels. And alone

we stay - for together

we are what the other never reach - the heaven

in hell. Inhale

my soul and everything.

I am yours. And love

and love, and love. And

you and I, and all the dreams

we never told anyone. Our faces

painted red. You take me to bed

and your naked body on my not less naked body...

... I am still alive for your love.
