How is it that
my biggest
nightmare
and
most comforting
dream are
on the thread
you
pull,
babe?
Dana Kathleen Oct 2014
I’ve been told
that my touch
is like knives,
and I tend to
leave scars
when I get to
know people.

You claimed
to be scared
of commitment,
yet I can see the
tattoos that cover
your skin.

I guess the pain
of me wasn’t
worth it because
I can feel myself
fading from your
skin and I hope
everything is dull
compared to me.

Everyone said that I have commitment issues...
That I'm too scared to fall in love...
That I think I'm better off alone...

They just have no idea,
That your voice still echoes through my mind...
That the mark of your fingerprints still lingers on my heart...

The topography of the human soul can’t be learned in a day.
I ******* my bag and look out across the valleys and mountains that make you you
And feel both exhilarated and frightened.

I see beautiful, sunlit plains
Dappled with wild flowers
And vibrating with the joy of life.
I also see dark caves
Filled with shadowy, dangerous corners
And echoing with whispers of ghosts of the past.

I take a deep breath and take the first step.
I have my whole life to explore this land,
And I intend to learn and embrace every inch of it.

*North
South
East
And West.

A cool Autumn day thinking, wondering
When will we come to enjoy one another
Lost, clueless in endless slumbering
There are enough people to like rather just mother

To think we could manage without someone else
Would be ignorant of the world around us
And to isolate would get you stuck to a shelf
Where to retrack, you'll need more than a compass

Escaping distrust would be no easy task
Although it would be worth the constant struggle
Revealing the true face behind that mask
Could end up as an ultimate snuggle

While looking back, we see the issues
Which could be mended with time and care
'Though sometimes we'll need more than tissues
To recover from the heat in the air

In the end, coming to discover
Few using more of each moment
We grab sight of both the other
And realize, never being so broken
Throughout life you make your way through many friendships, and to truly become part of them, one would have to see behind the scenes and accept the flaws.

We are a nation in war
We will not take any refuges
We will only take prisoners
So do not try to step up on our borders

We do not tolerate anything
But democracy and Elton John
We have a Queen and good sanitary systems
The Queen's love and Märsk Mc-Kinny Möller!

We have musicians and even though
They make utterly boring music
And have nothing but nonsense to say
We love them like a ******* nephew

We have rappers; they say ***** and they say ****
We have stand up comedians they say poo-poo
We are about 5 million white species
Producing 28.000.000 white pig's pr. year

We have such clean waters you can't imagine
We have a love so deep you will not belive
Our police force is build on high moral principles
We build everything on pure and strong idealism.

One morning I felt a thought
moving ahead of where I could see
collecting energy from my heart
it became so particular about me

that it fought its way over the sticks and stones
which fell into broken pieces wherever it went
I wondered what it held with single mindedness
so purposefully to make it struggle to the front

I followed where it led
it would not wait for me
it knew more than my mind could
it knew about where I wanted to go

but when I called it gave no answer
I couldn't stop it
I couldn't hold it back while I dithered
on and on it went

on a path I could only wonder
as though it had destiny all worked out

a sweet song called from deep in the forest
so joyful a bird it broke my heart in two
and part of me ran to find its nest
but it needed no path as I should have known
and after a rest
off it flew

I retraced my steps back to the forked place
at that moment the thought was gone
though I found a piece of black lace
caught on a thorn

it dissolved in my hand when I held it up to the light
leaving powdery graphite on my finger tips
which had the forgotten taste of sea spray at night
when the tip of my tongue touched it

I heard the whisper of kisses from long ago
and then I looked down in silence
alone and lost - too late I knew
abandoned to my thoughtlessness

Commitment is main morality
Commitment is power of relation
Commitment is measurement weight
Commitment makes strong personality
Commitment discover future
Commitment show the right way
Commitment is base of love
If any one broke his Commitment
He/she will be destroy from this world.
