In longest dream

I am here to stay

In your longest dream,

Not as a phantom

But a tiny spark

For the fickle memory.

Fear me not,

I don’t mean to haunt;

Why would I,

For I am the one

You always loved.  

Neither will I talk

Nor will I leave.

Listen to my silence,

Understand my gaze.

Absence is my presence.

I am still wet

With the tears you shed

On my humble death.

I saw your moist eyes,

Watery nose,

And hidden sobs

A day before

My mortal body

Was lowered to

A dark dungeon

For last and eternity.

But, yes, I did see

The rains paused

And the Sun beamed

From a hole in the clouds

For 26 seconds,

Glaring my eyes,

Before my entry.

Forgive me please,

For I sneaked into

Your private dream--

Just to be remindful

Of my transient

Existence on this Earth.

I am here to stay

In your longest dream.
