For one minute it was there,
the next, it was gone.

For one minute he existed in my head,
the next, disappeared like the flash of a phoenix.
For one minute I lay among the waves,
the next, on the weather-beaten rocks.
For one minute I ran into the room,
the next, thrown against the wall.
For one minute I was bleeding from inside,
the next, my wrist was slit.
For one minute I was drinking the elixir,
the next, falling through eternity.
For one minute I saw a tear on your eyelash,
the next, I laughed aloud in my corner.
For one minute the flowers fell to the ground,
the next, I walked through crispy autumn leaves.
For one minute you left me bereft of all emotions,
the next, I looked into the pool of my heart.
For one minute I lodged myself off the rocket of your mind,
the next, I flew to the stars.

For one minute it was there,
the next, it was gone.
