INCOGNITO LIFE - Original poetry

Whenever someone from your circle passes away, you find yourself asking how well did you actually know that person. Especially when shortly after the funeral you hear all sorts of stories (supposedly true) about your recently deceased friend.

Since you can not tell reality from gossip and the main hero ain`t there to confirm or dismiss it, you have to rely on your own judgement. You chose what to believe or not about him, based on the relationship you had with that person. You try as much as you can to be objective and deny certain stories, labelling them "outrageous".

Later on, it does cross your mind that maybe there was a possibility that you hadn`t previously considered. What if some of those "absurd" stories were true? What if you barely knew the man? What if you never got to see the real him and you have settled for his shallow version? Could it be possible that he had a secret life that no one(or close to no one) had known of?

Here are some of my poems:
