What if I become a snail struggling to hide my body into a
stony silence?
What if I become a porcupine and you can’t make love to me
anymore?
What if I become a comma and fill those empty pauses?
What if I am a riverine nymph and swishing my fishy tail
escape into the ocean?
What if Hitler’s mother had Jew connection and Osama bin Laden’s
Hindu?
What if my mood stops changing like the monsoon sky?
What if I become You and I peep into your soul?
What if someday you get the strength to let me go?
What if I become my eyes and close it against the world?
What if the blue black night becomes me and you watch but
can not see?
And
thoughts are a museum; pictures on a wall ...
you leave it but it never leaves you!

Lovely and very intriguing thoughts
An interesting series of questions...
Many questions have no answers, but it is interesting to ponder nonetheless.
I love these reflections--each question deserves consideration, but I had to chuckle at the porcupine one. I guess in a way we can make ourselves into psychological porcupines!
Some powerful images and evocative questions - lovely. I like the interwoven personal relationship inside the bigger relationships of our world, wonderful.
what if one day upon waking from sleep you realize that whole your life was a dream?
life is a continues saga of ifs n buts ha?
no, those thoughts always dance, all the questions taking their turn ont he dance floor...all the infinite possibilities...and the opening gambit where they are about us...what if i become this...will you still love me....all very real...smiles.
...such power in these heart-felt words - and I love how this flows so beautifully.
The porcupine bit made me chuckle though - I often think of myself as a psychological porcupine, as my fear of being hurt makes me appear 'prickly' at times! Haha:D
I so love this.:)
