Why (10W)
Dag J Jun 2017
Well
         work got the
upper                   hand
    I stopped writing
             poems
Let´s hope the time will come when I yet again find comfort in writing ...

endlessness
Dag J Jul 2015
tension of the earth tingles in your
hands following the smell of morning as the
elements unfolds to eliminating lows

deep … like under water you feel something
untie moving upwards slowly free from its restraints
as you reach the surface gasping for air you feel a
longing as the fire in your soul moves on to
infinity while you grasp small parts of reality letting it
touch the empty space in your mind as
you silently endure

opening the book of the
future you understand what

efforts awaits what
needs to fulfill as your
divided attention focus on
living as you continue
embracing the moment
silently in full concentration
sitting breathing smiling
now knowing the
energy inside is enough
slowly learning to
survive

the fragility of emotions
Dag J Jul 2014
Focus drawn from the wrong conclusions
Leads you away from life's institutions
Emotions and feelings gets lost in fusions
Of desperation and regretful grief retributions
... keep it simple stupid ...

of what we find so very great

Not to be understood

Dag J Nov 2013
trembling you caress the
hopelessness caused by too many
eventualities, completely

surrounded as your soul
opens up to different truths of
unpredictable affiliations
never given the freedom to
dwell and choose amongst the wild

offerings you
fall to your knees

after what feels like an eternity you
softly gather your thoughts as your mind
strays off yet again with
effortless lightness and phenomenal speed
running rapidly into the deep forest of memories
towards the light, a window of happiness
in a cabin of despair
vulnerable you complete the seemingly
endless journey of the day as

dynamic colours loops out of reach
entangled in shadows liberated
from any formal structure and you
erase all emotions but
never fail to see the
significant beauty of
even the smallest things in
life as  
evening brings light from a
silvery moon
sleepless you welcome the
nights cold as it
embraces your mind
solemnly the future falls into utter
silence…

implications
Dag J Aug 2013
in time for tea we continue our
meaningless progression towards
purple thoughts and deep blue
                                                     living as we grasp whatever sign of
intelligence around without the slightest of
colour while encouraging hope itself
as nothing is obvious to the naked eye but
                                                             ­          time as it slows to a near retreat
ignoring all common advice towards
openness as it lingers in the still of the
night hurling us into the dark away from

the only thing we have
Dag J May 2013
time and time again
   I repeat the same refrain
       where is the source of time
       when gone - where is it lain
           time slips from our fingers
           why is it so  ...  in vain

time is all we need
time is all we breathe
time is all we waste
                                 time in all its haste

time to make a life
                               to live
                                   to love
                                       to chase

                          wander, wonder
                laugh, admire
     own, buy, lose ... hire

to make the last... that last line rhyme

to lose a father
Dag J May 2013
my father went on a journey long
inside his head and mind
for months he weighed and stayed away
we wondered for what to find?

at last we had to talk it through
the future and what life's about
he said his mission had been to clear out
what he missed... or could live without

it turned out he was uncertain
about many things in life
but me he did not miss a bit
it cut me
                          like a knife...
I have not spoken with my dad in years now... it feels strange.
I can't find my self to understand his choice...
In the depth of his soul I hope he is sad too, even though he does not show it.
Sometimes it feels like he is dead, but he lives just 10 miles down the road.
not missing me - but missing out on a lot if you ask me...

after eternity we will be

                                         leaving for the stars in
                                   interesting fashion with really
                               no time to waste on our seemingly
                                               endless journey
it need not be a straight one ...

forgiveness
Dag J Apr 2013
Autumn leaves colored
by the sound of lonely thoughts
travelling like Leotigers
in deep waterfalls

searching true forgiveness
for all we ever were
revealing a victorious haze
through witch we see who cares

Winters lack of color
gently overturns
the silent dance of flower buds
t'wards hope and not concerns

then Spring and Summer once again
will let us all behold
our ship sets sail for joyful smiles
not silver, bronze nor gold

with smiling lips we find our hearts
were made to be forgiving
and I can shout and really mean it:
I     LOVE     LIVING!

dreaming
Dag J Apr 2013
sitting silent in the dark of the night
watching ferocious dustbunnies ending the
days work in the mindmines of corners
homebound they chant merrily as
they swirl towards the safehaven under
furniture only scared when awakened by
the sound of the vacuumcleaner but not tonight
tonight we let dustbunnies live their own lives
only sitting
and watching
dreaming that nothing is too much
too much is nothing
enough nothing and you wish for change
change change change in the corners
cornered we all seek a way out
or a way in or just away
up up and away we sway on stacks of hay
down down down on the farm of striped
grassiron eating stardustplasma for breakfast
wearing fenominal hatlike feathers in
the colours of the rainbow
of long gone heroes
from other times

All through the dark
hear the dogs bark
  hear the logs hark
   hear the past shouting
          silently
loudly whispering
             in the blistering
      sunshine of yesterday
scarecrows of sticks and hay
      running in the fields
    looking for their shields
with sunset 'round the corner
    they set out to warn her
       of traps and danger
            trying to change her
way of looking
            her way of cooking
it all down to nothing
        this lack of
               a strong king
      just absence of

we're only watching the night

elegantly the night
lowers her veil over

thoughts fade until
all is quiet and we

energy with its seemingly endless supply of

a translation of a poem I originally wrote in swedish...
original goes like this:

elegant sänker
natten sin sløja över

  dagens sista
  andetag, medan
  gardinerna sakta dansar

tankarna bleknar tills
allt är tyst och vi

the peculiarities of life
Dag J Apr 2013
Endlessly... we fall...
connecting through
cognetive strenght as we
endeavor the practice of
never looking back...
trembling hands
reaching out for
intricate parts of reality...
concerned... we fall...

Positive emotions dance happily
as morning mist turns into droplets that
run down the side of your face like tears
and I rejoice while we
climb as
high as can be,
up into the sky, over the clouds - over the sea
time slows down... stops...
endlessly... we fly!

Freefalling ... waiting for the wacky 'chute to open
Falling further and further away from the ground
silently ... without a sound ... we rise
life in three acts ... or something.
