All Before I Die


I want to see the world whole
breathe different airs
speak different words
and kiss foreign lips
I want to explore magic kingdoms
and discover ancient realms.

I want to venture into the wild
win over raging impossibilities
prove my worth, achieve recognition
I want to feel honorable and
know ive done my best.

I want to lose myself in thousands of stories
read every book, see every film
sing every song and dance every dance
experiment experiment experiment.

I want to engrave my name in every tree
leave footprints in every wet cimment
I want to be remembered, be missed, be loved
I want to rise high above.

I want to sleep below a thousand constellations
and count every star in the sky
I want to walk barefoot in the sand
and feel the water touch my skin
I want to feel alive again.
I want to live the city and all it’s lights
all it’s parties and bars and days and nights
meet city people with ice cold eyes
their arrogance and blissfulness, their thoughts and their frights.

I want to love like my hearts on fire
feel his touch in every corner of my being
smell his scent and taste his lips
carress his skin and make him scream
and feel all his pleasure and heat and passion pass on to me.

I want to fall in love with the perfect man
live the white picket fence, sunday car wash
friday night home movie with a bottle of wine – dream
sleep the most perfect sleep, awake to the horrors of routine.

I want to die and to be reborn
to lie and be forgiven
to drown and then breath again
to get hurt and then be cured
to fall and crawl back up
to succeed, to smile, to rejoice
to win, to fight, to honor, to work
to play, to like, to kiss
to dance, to make love
to fly, to love
to live.

all before i die.
