i was dead
i came alive
i was tears
i become laughter

all because of love
when it arrived
my temporal life
from then on
changed to eternal

love said to me

you are not
crazy enough
you don’t
fit this house

i went and
became crazy
crazy enough
to be in chains

love said

you are not
intoxicated enough
you don’t
fit the group

i went and
got drunk
drunk enough
to overflow
with light-headedness

love said

you are still
too clever
filled with
imagination and scepticism

i went and
became gullible
and in fright
pulled away
from it all

love said

you are a candle
attracting everyone
gathering every
one
around you

i am no more
a candle spreading...
