Twilight

Tender tones singing so softly,
yet filled with all the world’s grief
The sun is swallowed by water,
the darkness not yet come
We stand in between
The twilight hour
Between sleep and awakness
Between dreams and thoughts
Sandman’s on his way
Sleep all
Alone, here in the twilight hour
The Earth listens to tender tones of sorrow

Caterpillar’s dream

Some are caterpillars and becomes butterflies
Some are butterflies that becomes caterpillars
Inside my caterpillar suit
Awaits my butterfly wings eagerly to escape

They have such lovely colours,
   gold, silver
I wish that you could see them!
 they shine up like the sun and moon and the stars

And I know that they will take me
  above the cloud, above the sky
I wish for you to fly with me, dear
But my wings can carry you too

For they are strong enough to carry the whole world!
 I think

But my caterpillar suit are too strong
My wings cannot escape
I am forced to crawl down here
With only the dream of flying

But still, my dear, I may fly toward you
Hope, is in the end,
all we got...
   and all we will ever have

Night

The night’s black darkness has conqured the world
Like a fog it has consumed us, making us all alike
      Dark. Dark. Black.
The moon’s pale face studies me filled with sorrow
"When did your heart freeze, sister?"
I have no answers, only tears
    of blood.

And a prayer for this to end now

Outside the night is like a cold hand
All life is asleep.
Into my icecage comes only the sound of silence
  The heaviest burden there is

The borders of my life are so cold
so cold
But the winter already inhabits my life

Through this icecage I can see the world, so close
yet so far away

"Why can’t I feel anymore, brother?"
    I ask the moon silently
It’s distant patterns offers no answers,
only eternal darkness

My heart needs to sleep,
I lie my body to rest
The night has come to stay

Then out reaches a hand, a sunbeam breaks the night
The day awakens
"We live only on hope, sister"
The moon’s face disappears while the day
Melts my ice cage

~~~~~~~

Tears

I drown in my tears.
I cry
A lake of bitter water
Washes waves against weak soil
Shapes me
I am clean
No tears dries me

What is left after you fall?

What is left after you fall?
He loved her, but left her
She loved him, but left him
But only he could come back

What is left after you fall?
The memories of unspoken love
All the things you meant to say
But couldn’t find the words

What is left after you fall?
Regret, sorrow and broken dreams
No comfort from her dying breath
For he cannot say it back

What is left after you fall?
The torment of wasted time
An echo of her final words
And her whisper in the wind

What is left after you fall?
Her heart alive in his
Telling him all those things
She knew but never said

What is left after you fall?
A windy road to walk alone
And many miles to go
Before meeting her again

What is left after you fall?
Nothing – but the climb up

The Walls Don’t Speak Our Language

I think
Sometimes
I see her, just in the corner of my eye

But I turn and no one’s there
I see nothing but an empty ally
With screaming cats
And silent walls

The walls could tell me
If she was really there
Or I just wish she was
But they speak not our language
And I not theirs

But if they told me she was there
I’d run into the shadows
And hold her forever close to me
While day and night would pass
And we wouldn’t care
And forever wouldn’t be enough

I think..
if I did see her
everything would be alright

But the walls don’t speak our language
And I not theirs
