Sigh of relief
Helene Josephine Feb 2019
For just a moment
a sigh of relief
falling asleep

I knew you'd leave

Soon waking up
in a place where
I can’t breathe

I can't breathe.

Toxic
Helene Josephine Jan 2019
Remind me
why sharing
our pain was
too toxic
When hurting
without you
is lethal
Helene Josephine Oct 2017
Just wondering
what kind of adventure hides
in those brown glowing eyes

A whole different world
that could be anything but mine
Past, present and emerging
from his ear-to-ear smile

Now he's somewhere in the skies
and I'm somehow falling deep

If this was in the dreaming
could we ever meet?
His gaze just swept away
the stolen lands beneath my feet

Memento
Helene Josephine Apr 2017
Remember those nights when
we got drunk from that green liquid
and went to your place E.T.-style
and the sky was so big
the moon was so bright
you made me herbal tea with mint
and had that shark bite on your back
I just don't want to forget that

Lad nu blot
Helene Josephine Nov 2015
Lad nu blot dit øje sig lukke
Ingensinde må du lade dig såre
Da som han ej gjorde sig dig fortjent
Thi han fortjener ej heller din tåre

Inaccessible
Helene Josephine Nov 2015
I'm lost
when his hands are out of reach
and all is
inaccessible now he leaves

I've lost
everything I imagined us to be
and all is
inaccessible in my dreams

He's gone
and still I reach for something
that's just as
inaccessible as it seems

Dirty lips
Helene Josephine Sep 2015
Let me walk from the edge of your smile
to travel across the border dividing
talk and the taste of your lower lip

Let me hike the soft landscape of your mouth
to explore the silent gap between
your sweet words and filthy thoughts

Let me step inside the inescapable gates
just to slip on your smooth tongue
and slide into that ***** mind of yours

Sleepless
Helene Josephine Aug 2015
I'm sleepless in your soothing arms tonight
Immortalizing this moment as I write;

I'm not sure
not quite
but I'll admit
It feels right

You go on
Helene Josephine Aug 2015
Now you go on
Singing the same love song
About some other one

You go on and on
And your words sound all wrong
As she begins to sing along

Still you go on
To get hurt by another someone

Electricity

Investment

Will it be worth it
Writing you a poem
With these words
I can't even afford

Easily unspoken
Helene Josephine May 2015
This kiss is the last word tonight
It mutes your soft whisper
And the comfort of your voice
Leaving musings on my side of the bed

This noise of a thousand thoughts
It drowns out your breathing
And the silence of the night
As words toss and turn inside my head

This secret is locked in my heart
It veils all our untold stories
Like poetry behind closed eyes
Dreaming that it won’t remain unsaid

This evasion of verbal confrontation
It quiets the bemusing pieces
That would come out misshapen
Making unspokenness easier than regret

Black cave
Helene Josephine May 2015
Do not enter
This dark cave
Of my heart
I'm warning you
You won't escape
I'll hold you captive
And turn off every
Exit light

Words that I've neglected
Helene Josephine May 2015
I need you. These I forgot
As you turned your back on me
And slowly drifted away

I love you. These I disowned
As you broke my heart
With your last goodbye

I miss you**. These I displaced
As I knew you were gone
And not coming back

Udefinerbar (da)
Helene Josephine May 2015
Du er udefinerbar
Du giver kun mening, når jeg placerer dig
Et sted mellem mine sansers sammenfald
Gennem kropslig perception

Du er den nerve, der danser på min læbe
En prik på grænselandets ukendte terræn
Hvor ellers kun sorg og glæde bugter sig
Mellem to mundvige

Du er den hvide bue ved roden af min negl
En betydningsnuance lige under overfladen
Så fængende for min opmærksomhed
Indtil du forsvinder

Du er følelsen lige inden mine nys
Et fremmedartet forventningsfænomen
Skønt forårsaget af ubekendt irritament
Så uforligneligt uforløst

Du er varmen fra solstrålen mod min hud
Der omfavner mig og kysser min kind
Et momentant strejf af glæde og lykke
Som stryger flygtigt forbi

In the stream
Helene Josephine Apr 2015
Inside my head is a pond
Where you swim around making ripples
Spreading through my veins
The waves are making my skin tickle
Pouring out between my lips
As the tide turns them into giggles
Streaming down like a waterfall
While the floodings have me *******

Tabte toner (da)
Helene Josephine Apr 2015
Nætter jeg faldt i søvn til blide toner
i en salig strøm af længselsfuld lyrik
citeret af stemmer i takt med
dit hjertes ****
bag brystkassen ved min kind

Mens drømmende melodier faldt
ind i rytmen fra dit rolige åndedrag
og den stille efterklang af
lyden fra tabte toner
for altid at minde mig om dig

We happened
Helene Josephine Mar 2015
On a cold november night
In the afterglow of neon light
With frozen feet and drunken eyes
Between your sheets before sunrise

We happened.

Pyromaniac
Helene Josephine Mar 2015
I startet this fire intentionally
Maybe I'll put it out eventually
And bury my urge between ashes and glowing ember
Maybe then I'll take the blame
For now I'll take pleasure in the burning and the pain
And let the flames flicker across my naked body
Ignited by your warm breath on my neck
The heat from your fingers tingling on my skin
The glowing reflections in your passionate eyes
The sting of lust running down my spine
The itch from your kisses melting on my tongue
The flushing from a fever caused by your touch
The burning desire that's taking me over
And over again
It will hurt me in the end
But I'll let it burn until then

Framed
Helene Josephine Mar 2015
There's a neglected soul in this picture
Someone who lost control
In a world of stricture

Trapped in seemingly endless stagnation
Yet I've found a figment recently
Of my lost imagination

Like the old woman gazing through a window on the wall
I'm framed
Like the motionless meadow
I'm framed

Lock me up this time now for good
If coloring empty pages is a crime
And freedom is overlooked

Shades and shadows not to confuse
Hence I'm creating a new skyline
Always waiting for a muse

Like the frozen waves at sea on the wall
I'm framed
Like the calm bovine grazing in the pasture
I'm framed  

Like a rigid silhouette on the wall
I'm missing it all

Harakiri
Helene Josephine Mar 2015
Where there's water I'll drown
Where there's fire I'll burn
Where there's heights I'll fall
Where there's shelter I'll hide
Where there's comfort I'll cry
Where there's love I'll hurt
When you would rather turn to ritual suicide than fall into the arms of someone, who might have the power to break your heart into a million pieces.

Smile
Helene Josephine Mar 2015
With your every smile
There's those wrinkles by your eye
And on your stubby cheeks
A dimple on each side
How I wish you would smile for me
Just this one last time

Your guitar
Helene Josephine Mar 2015
As you sing
I breathe it in
Summer fling
Everything

Echoes of you
From deep within

Words missing
A broken string
Never been
Anything

Noise of you
And then nothing

Just that guy
Helene Josephine Mar 2015
He will never fight any battle for you
He won't chase after you if you turn your back to him
He is not going to buy you a drink or even ask for your number
He's just not that guy

He will never buy you roses on Valentine's Day
He won't text you in the middle of the night saying that he misses you
He will not turn and kiss you when you least expect it
He's just not that guy

He will never ask for your hand and your parents' blessings
He won't take you on a romantic trip to Paris
He is not going to say that he loves you until he knows for sure

He's just that guy
Who will secretly glance at you from the corner of the club
Who will kiss your neck as you fall asleep in his arms
Who will take your breath away and sweep you off your feet by being just that guy

A change of seasons
Helene Josephine Mar 2015
Even though the weather chances for a reason
I never thought that I'd change by the season
Something grew inside me this spring
By summer my heart almost started to sing
Along with the autumn I turned pale and blue
Now winter passes by as I'm longing for you
And as we're getting closer to the end of the year
Once again I find myself in the cold arms of fear

Stuck in silence
Helene Josephine Feb 2015
Wish I could sing to you all these words in my head
What's a voice if it is no use
What is speak if there's nothing said

In my mind silence has become my biggest fear
When shyness marks me like a bruise
When quietness follows my every tear

How to find meaning in conversations with all dead ends
In songs with no vocal
In poems with no rhymes
How do I get it all to make sense
With words unspoken
Reading between the lines

If I'm to take a step back I'd be closer to the abyss
Somehow there's not much to lose
Anyhow there'll be so much to miss

My imagination creates a world of pure illusion
Forgetting about my heart in abuse
Trying to get out of this ****** confusion

How to find meaning in conversations with all dead ends
In songs with no vocal
In poems with no rhymes
What ***** the most is that we're not even friends
That trust is broken
And that it hurts sometimes

Draw me
Helene Josephine Feb 2015
Baby put this pen in your hand
Now show me the world

Draw me a shooting star and northern light
A bonfire in the summer night

Draw me mountaintops above the clouds
Smiles within a cheering crowd

Draw me the silhouette of a big old pine
A city beneath the great skyline

Draw me a lonely cactus on the desert road
A vulcano that will soon explode

Draw me sunflowers and a honey bee
A child under a big palm tree

Draw me two doves and a sparkling diamond
A red sun setting in the horizon

Draw me air balloons and a waterfall
Every brick on the chinese wall

Draw me the moon and a deep blue lake
A beating heart that will never break

Drop the pen and put my hand in yours
Now show me the world

Air to me
Helene Josephine Feb 2015
When clouds get soft
I'll get into the sky again
You'll be the air beneath my wings

Show me
All the little things

And when I'm lost
I'll find myself a hurricane
That will whirl me back to you

After a storm
The sky is blue

And when I'm off
To get on the next aeroplane
Make sure the wind will carry me

When airborne
My mind is free

If our paths cross
Kiss me in the pouring rain
And in a moment hearts will meet

You'll be the air
That I breathe

Simple stuff
Helene Josephine Feb 2015
Come put this mind of mine at ease
Calm me down
Shut me up
Make my dark shadows freeze
Make all the deamons be at peace

Please have the time stop at daylight
Make me shine
Warm me up
Make me miss you late at night
But make me think it will be alright

Now point me out the brightest star
Take me high
Wake me up
Show me the way no matter how far
Remind me of all the things we are

Create me a world out of simple stuff
Count me in
Make it up
Have it all seem clean and unrough
And let whatever this is be enough

— The End —
