Cupid's arrow is such a dangerous thing,
Hitting people without a clue,
Fixing their hearts together to never fall apart, stuck together like glue.

Until one day,
Cupid's arrow disappears and the glue fades away,
The people become depressed and lose all interest in life,
Their hearts feel like they've been ripped apart with a switchblade knife.

And once again, that stupid arrow comes flying past,
Creating love too fast, and destroying people's hearts,
Cupid's arrow is such a dangerous thing.

your boot was turned the wrong way
on the post out by the highway
- sharp toe pointing to the south
away from where you've been

you're no stranger to the rangers
living dangerously on the edge
- sidewinders in the sagebrush
whispering to the wind

the anasazi built this home
stacking stone one by one
- far above the canyon
of petroglyphs and wrens

i knew i'd find you by the fire
talking to the ghosts of smoke and drum
- in the ruins above the dunes
reminiscing with your friends

- reminiscing, reminiscing
on the blue mesa.

The Answer
 Nov 2014 I Am

Keep asking questions,
Even if you,
Don't find the answers.

Keep finding the answers,
Even if you,
Find it hard.

Keep searching,
Even when your eyes swollen,
Lips wounded,
Or heart broken.
For the answer lies,
Along the journey.

Or perhaps,
When you are,
Ready.
Our hearts do have that 1001 questions that are yet to be answered. Maybe God did it in such a way so that we truly value the answer and most definitely when we are ready.

Invisible energy,
Undefined power,
Stream through,
That powerful,
Manifestation of light,
Stands before me.

Dazed by the whispering peace,
Instead of fear,
Admiration fills the heart,
The Epitome of beauty,
Move gracefully,
Safe within the gaze,
My soul feels,
A warmth of love.

Close my eyes,
Feel the flight of my soul,
And lose myself in that moment,
Only to find,
That I have lost,
In the beautiful haunting,
Of you.

Stuck in between the
cold white
Blank
Corridors
that gapeseed
Back at me.

The echoes
Of the red arm
Audibly ticking seconds away

A reminder
Time is in motion,
Just like my thoughts
When boredom is my notion.

her kunne jeg
skrive
om vores kærligheds
dage
da vi delte en
tapas-tallerken og en flaske
af den bedste vin
på en fortovscafé
og tog bad i de århusianske
solstråler
og her kunne jeg skrive
om dig og mig og det vi to
(aldrig) havde men jeg gør
det ikke for der er ikke
mere tapas og der er ikke mere
vin
og heller ikke flere solstråler, men værst
af alt er der ikke mere dig og mig
og så er der faktisk (ikke) mere tilbage
at skrive om

I am yet a child.
To me, the prettiest creature
will always be my mother.
Her dimples, a beautiful feature.

I am yet a child.
To me, my daddy is strong.
He is the smartest
and is never wrong.

I am yet a child.
To me, it is my little brother
who is my heart, my life
and still, a bother.

Though I'm growing up,
I'm still a child.
Unleashing my dreams
and letting them run wild.

But the dreams hit a wall
and I soon realize,
the world hurled at me
a shocking surprise.

The days become a terror.
The nights, even worse.
Such times made me think
everything's a curse.

I observe and wish
to stay the same.
To not grow up and
see everything as a game.

But lives are dynamic.
Everything shall age.
My eyes begin to open
and I calm my rage.

It is unfair,
the world we live in.
You neither lose
nor do you ever win.

Now, I feel grown up.
That I'm no more a child.
Gone are the days
when my dreams ran wild.

Yet, given a choice,
I shall choose no other.
It shall always be me,
my mummy, daddy, and my little brother.

For I may be grown up
but I'm yet a child.
Wise beyond my years
with my dreams, so wild.

The swell and ebb of roaring waves
The high tide and the crest of the surf
The deep swirling blue and clear turquoise
The wide expanse made of many small drops
The constant movement with no goal
The ocean's grandeur and chaos
Is like our emotions.

The soft whisper of a summer breeze
The loud roar of an impending storm
The violent whipping of loose limbs
The swirling of fallen leaves in a small twister
The gathering of clouds in a huge hurricane
The wind's grace and unpredictability
Is like our emotions.

The slow growth over a thousand years
The constant carving of rock face
The crevices and niches hidden from view
The towering presence in a rolling landscape
The chill tops and the elemental core
The mountains' splendour and loneliness
Is like our emotions.

The roof of vivid leafy green
The floor of twisted scarred roots
The intertwining of many branches
The voices of all the creaking trunks and bark
The space occupied by one in the same
The forest's strength and complexity
Is like our emotions.
