Icelander Writing poetry for the beautiful strangers I will probably never meet. / / http://mariahannhoekstra.wordpress.com
The simplest thought of you just those sounds you make when you are happy, your delighted sighs, Your eyes alone smile, But those lips, those lips... All they need to do is simply move. I'm in love. Love is the simple things you do. I love them. The simple things.

Simplicity
I'd rather be in the shadows of trees than in the shadow of glass, steel, concrete. No canopy. Not even a canopy of stars.

Whatever we are doing We are doing alright That doesn't mean it's easy It just means we are fighters

Fighters
It seems you've prepared a room in your heart for me I guess I will stay awhile I will unpack my things There's a big window Where I can watch the sunrise and feel the light tickle my face in the morning the same way your lips do There's a room in your heart for me I think I'd like to stay awhile I'll put up posters of our favourite bands and tape the pictures on the wall hang postcards from you on a string with clothespins Make a fort of every book we own Don't forget your Bible. There's a room in your heart for me. It's beginning to feel like a home.

Side effects may include: dizziness madness insomnia drowsiness I've had it with this. I just want to be me. Naturally. No prescriptions. No drug addictions. I am not my own, but can I at least have some control?

Side Effects
I dream of lakes that are mirrors I dream a thousand miles away where the pine trees whisper and the birds sing a symphony where the stag walks next to me and the fox follows close behind I dream of the mountains in the refection I dream so far away from here.

I Dream of Lakes
Let them drop like a drop of honey. Salty instead of sweet. Maybe if I drink these tears I can understand. If I can taste these tears, will they give me a reason?

Teardrop Tea
I think I'm falling and I'm scared I think I'm falling and it feels wonderful. If I'm falling and you're falling too, we'll be alright. It takes two hearts to fly. Each heart has one wing. So If I am falling, please tell me I'm not the only one. The sky was made for the two of us.

If I'm Falling
She still wants to be skinny. She still cannot love. She still cannot see. She still is her own bully. She still cries. Still. Even after all this time.

Skinny
Yes. It might be love. But maybe just infatuation. It might be the chemistry. But I get lost in a fantasy. Too far to pursue. Too much risk perhaps. Yes. It might already be over. But maybe it's only beginning. Yes. I know I will see you again. But what happens then?
