          I so fear my unbecoming;
          my non-emancipation,
          into a destiny so believed
          barely bound to be something,
          or someone ever-known,
          ever-promised by the time,
          conceived by no yesterdays
          but death of no tomorrows;
          for where is life from here
          where is love be lived
          where my future has begun
          without my dreams to keep;
          for this is no far;
          no far from disenchantments
          or maybe unbecoming's
          what's so do I please;

          no, never may I search
          my words for this world;
          but fires on my pillars
          or clouds I could perch
          only lend me a moment,
          I'll search nothing in gray
          I'll write words so eternal
          not these mouthfuls have prayed,
          for all had me thinking
          was blurred disfigurement
          and wounds ever-bleeding
          my poetry couldn't cure;
          yet, I wish for this something
          never hidden, only secrets
          or foolishness for the wish
          of salvation for my poets.
