Autumn Rose Aug 2016
("Lord, bless this holy ground")

In the morning all the sunflowers turned their heads to the east.

("Where ancient spirits meet")

They swayed on the gentle wind like tired passengers, their shadows lied on the ground.

(" 'Round the old harvesters")

Corn,pumpkin and potato  
harvested all day long, till the sun hides behind the hills.


("With a ribbon to tie our souls")

Now the fields are empty and the rusty sickle is hung on the wall.

("And to bind love in our hearts")

*But the melody goes on and on.
-The warm harvest song from my childhood is still ringing in my ears at night.

Concealed worlds,
footsteps,
the smell of burning wax.
Why am I here?
Why do I breath?
I can see lanterns in
the darkness.
Lanterns of life.
Young are those whose candle
is shining brightly,
but old are those whose candle is put out long ago.
But what about my lantern?
-Lost forever, as my soul is wrapped
in iron chains.
I need a saviour before i become my worst enemy,
but i don't want to be... A murderer!
Autumn Rose Aug 2016
Diamonds reflecting on the sun,
rainbows on my skin.
Seeking the lost light of my
empty black sky.
Pearls on my neck.
He stole my star, just visions of
galaxies left scattered.
He threw water on my flame.
When it's gone, i'm not alive.
No! I saw the light inside him.
Summer is still in the air, smells like vanilla.
Heaven's in his emeralds.
White gold lines my heart, but burnt
from the dead memories,from the dead life journey
leading me towards the dark abyss.
Unknown,stranger,stolen images.
Can you buy me more diamonds?
Autumn Rose Aug 2016
The chiming of church bells.
My heart is louder.
Lines of roses guide me toward the light,
the real gold slowly melting on the horizon.
Taking away my last breath of real freedom.
Burning lanterns desperately imitating the stars in the night air
while the silver crowned me as the queen of disaster.
My white veil painted my face with black lace,
lightened up by the moonlight.
Dancing in the night as he whistles my name.
Don't make me cry!
I can see, that once I was blind, scared that I wont find
all the answers. Because this... is the last time

The pale sun rays
were shining above me.
It was the
shadow to my light.
I felt as the
waves pulled me
in different directions
but i remained
on the surface.
When they hold me
i'm alive.
Eye to eye, so alive.
Find light in the
blue sea, i choose
to be happy.
These shallow waters
never were what
i needed.
I'm diving deeper.
Was it all in
my fantasy?
The eternal silence
of the sea, i'm breathing it.
I'm lying.
Was it only imaginary?
Another dream.
Palms rise to the
universe while i am
just one step ahead
to sink into the sea
of my long lost soul.
So lost, I'm fading.
The monsters are
running wild inside of me.
Sometimes i don't need
lack of air to feel
like i'm drowning.
If i lose myself, i lose it all.
And i was afraid of
the depth, i was afraid
of the unknown...

*She was a pearl lying on the bottom of the sea, so i desperately dived to reach her. But i forgot that i had to breath
Autumn Rose Aug 2016
In summertime
her free spirit ran
with bare feet
through the sunflowers
with the wind in her hair,
listening to the
trees sway and creek.
At that moment she was...  unstoppable
Autumn Rose Aug 2016
Tell me the story
of the girl
who was so
in love with the sun
that she turned
into a sunflower
just to look at him
from dawn to dusk...
