Atoms
Whenever I see you it seems like all the beauty in
the world collides and  nobody ever seems
to notice because it all happens
with every single one of my atoms
sensing every single one of yours.

Admiration
In the middle of everything,
my soul is touched by
something so perishable
as you.

(l.p)
So, lately there's this woman and I can't seem to not feel anything when I look at her. She has this incredibly beautiful face and this adorable smile. Whenever she smiles at me it's like the whole world stops dead before my eyes and everything left his her and this striking feeling inside of me. The small encounters are moments of presence between to people but simultaneously pure and simple acts of kindness. But I feel more and sometimes I know deep within in my heart that she does too.

About Me
It says a lot about me
the way I stare into space
when sitting around the table
surrounded by people
trying not to notice
the feeling of being completely
alone - a feeling that sometimes
washes over me like a hurricane
It says a lot about me
the way I pretend, with a shiftly glance,
to seem okay whilst not trying to pretend at all
How I wish that someone notices, but they
never did. They never do.

Glimpse of..
somewhere in between all those smiles a glimpse of hope emerged
There are those human beings you don't know but whose existence and presence run through you and you can't do anything but captivate the feeling. But somewhere along these meetings I wish that I could get to know you for there's this special something about the atmosphere when we meet.

Everything comes in waves.
I've had a really bad day and it really hurts tonight. It's caused by a lot of things but mainly the order of the words coming from his mouth. I guess I'd hoped for something slightly different -  my mind is processing the words that we spoke. And inside of me there's a hurricane.

The Meeting
When I see you
the world around me
scatters into millions of atoms
as if they were floating around
in a whole different galaxy
light years from here
from us*

Goodbye
I want so much to say goodbye to you
let my soul forget what it felt like having you near
let the feeling fade like the sense of my dreams when I wake up
and let the scent of you vanish into air like the smell after rain
when the sun starts shining again
I wish that I could let the sound of your voice die down
and there'll be only pure silence like when I'm awake at night
I'll try to forget the way our hands parted when we parted,
that day when you said your last goodbye
but I can't seem to erase the feeling of your presence,
every single time I recall it feels like the opposite
of the wounding feeling of being alone
and the neverending fear of never falling in love again
the way I fell in love with you
and it makes me crawl back to the comforting
feeling of having you near

I'm in a state between

Daydream
Our encounters are so transient
that the only way I can stop myself from hurting
just by the thought of your being
is to daydream
the bittersweet grief away.

The thought of you
The fact that I'm enchanted by thought of you
makes me wonder whether it's caused by
some kind of escapism or simply fascination
in its most enchanting way.

(l.p)
There's this person. I don't even know her and she doesn't even know me and yet it feels as if the sun rises inside of me everytime I see her -  not in that way but in a completely innocent and joyful way.

Emma
*** var som himmelen
Aldrig det samme skær udstrålede ***
Som dagene før
Nogle dage udstrålede *** intet,
Og andre dage, svor jeg, at *** kunne
Være forår for de, som var omkring hende
*** kunne få enhver blomst til, at blomstre,
Og redde dem fra den kolde frostige vinter,
Som *** nogle dage selv blev opslugt af
Mest af alt, var *** mit forår
Og én blomst står stadig i min have,
Den som *** plantede
Selv gennem tiden, de år vi har været
På hver vores sti i livet, som aldrig vil
Krydse hinanden igen - har den stået
Smukt og prægtig i min have,
Aldrig vil den visne, for *** vil
holde den i live, aldrig vil den visne
og jeg håber, at ej heller *** visner,
jeg håber *** finder sit forår
og jeg vil i mit stille sind
sørge over, at jeg ikke kunne
være hendes forår dengang
tilbage i tiden, for der fandtes intet,
jeg hellere ville dengang
eller nu.
Translation:
She was like the sky
never radiating the same gleam
as before
Some days she didn't radiate anything at all,
and some days I swear that she could've
been spring to those surrounding her
She could make every flower blossom
and save them from the cold frosty winter
that was inside of herself
Most of all she was my spring
And one flower is still blossoming in my garden
the one that she planted
Even through the time, those years we've been
on each path in life, paths that would never
cross each other - it is the most
beautiful and magnificent flower in my garden
I pray that it won't wither, and for her not to wither
I hope that she'll find her spring
and in secrecy I'll mourn at the thought of
not being able to be her spring
back in time for it was the only thing
I ever wanted to be at that time.

Quicksand
I'm so drawn by it
that I can't even manage to
control it anymore
it's so poor
and so fantastic
I guess I'm standing
in quicksand
but at least I'm free
ain't I?

Romeo & Juliet
And what if the story about Romeo & Juliet
never really wanted to teach us about the romantic kind of love
What if the whole story only wanted to put into words
that love never waits for anyone..

It
It
And then it came rushing over her
The fascination and fear of the unknown; of it
when she thought about it

she wanted so much much to explore every inch of it, study its mind and get lost in the staggering thought of being with *it
Her head was swimming just by the thought of it. But the idea of something, anything, can be poisonous. Just like it.

Goodbyes
When two people say goodbye
and let go of each other
it is so very cruel
you'll see because one day
one of them will see a shooting star
and realize who loved the most
and who stopped loving
a long time ago

(l.p)
Today was the day I saw a shooting star and it hurt alot watching it. But I guess that's the thing about letting go. It's harsh.

Elevation (sunrise)
She was like every sunrise
I had ever seen
gathered in one
beautiful moment of
elevation
So there is this woman and every time I see her smile I just can't seem to think of anything else but that short moment of joy where  I get admire her loveliness. Just for a while. It's all I can ever can do. That's the thing about being strangers. But that's ok. It has to be.
And if love is that one thing
making life worth living
I now understand why Buddha said
that life is an affliction

because if everything must come to an end - love too, the pain would be endless. Because love has various endings, all painful in their own way.

On Your Own
Sometimes you feel stronger on your own
apart from being alone

but being alone can sometimes
give you time to think things through
and to gather the strength
to face your fears
on your own.
Sometimes you can't make it on your own. And sometimes you have to. But you mostly feel it when you need help or when you just want to go about things quietly. You can also do both things simultaneously; that's where I'm at and it feels great!

You can't live alone
One day you'll realize
that loneliness isn't the the hardest thing
when you feel isolated from the people
you love and care about

it's the hardest when you've been
your own friend through the losses of
the once you love as relationsships fall apart
and it's not even enough for you
to be your own friend anymore

Abstract
And love is such an abstract thing
that it's hardly possible
for me to feel it

and it's impossible for
philosophers to answer the question
"What is love?"
So I guess I'm a fool for even trying*

Be somebody
Give me the courage
to not only hear my own voice
but to follow it
inspite of what may come;

for by being ourselves
we allow ourselves to
not only exist
but to be somebody
I just watched Dead Poets Society. I was moved by the beautiful words and encourage us to live life while we can and to think independent. That's how we truly get to know ourselves. But it also broke my heart because sometimes you're not strong enough and that's the worst thing you can do to yourself; not to follow the voice once you've heard it.

Emptiness will Not Stay
Feeling empty
is something that is caused
by trying too hard not to feel
or think about
something

and when you suddenly deal with it
you will have the weight of it all
on your shoulders, but it's worth it

Because  some day you will be filled
with something (again), and it will feel
even more fulfilling than before

(l.p)
Feeling empty might be the worst feeling in the world because you feel something, but still you're entirely empty. Nothing feels like it did before because something has become penetrating - but you can't/won't find out because you fear what you might realize. But that's the tough thing called life, and it will only help you to grow.

Listen to Your Heart
Listen to your heart
is probably the hardest
advice to go through with
I bet most of the people
in this world
have never heard
the voice of their own hearts*


(l.p)
So I know there's a lot of people out there trying to figure out where their love truly lies, or trying to depend their choices on what their heart tells them - and it doesn't even get to say it out loud, because we're too busy trying to belong in the crowd, afraid to stand out from the crowd.. Maybe that's what the heart wants. To do something out of truth instead of covering up something fragile..

Orpheus and Eurydice
She thought that he was her Orpheus
but he never came back for her,
when he was supposed to* -
sometimes love is even more tragic
than death
..

(l.p)
The story of Orpheus and Eurydice keeps haunting me. It's so beautiful and tragic at the same time. Orpheus travels to the under world to get Eurydice back and he can succeed; one condition;  he can't look back to see if Eurydice is with him until they've reached the real world - but Orpheus looks back when he has passed the gates only to watch Eurydice fade away into the arms of Death  because she hadn't passed the gates yet - they got reunited when Orpheus was killed.

May you find home
Home is a feeling - not a place;
I hope you get that feeling one day
when you look at someone's face

(l.p)
Sometimes your home can feel so cold and empty and one day I realized that being with someone you love and care about can feel just like home.

The reason
The reason it's harder to love ourselves
than to love others is
that you can never hide
the things you hate about yourself
from yourself
but the ones you love
can hide theirs from you

(l.p)
But maybe that is the reason for love - to learn how to love another person  independent of the things they hate about themselves - and if they tell you, maybe you end up loving those things to heal the one you love - and you fear that if you tell other people about the things you hate about yourself you fear that no one will love those to heal you.

You miss, you miss
You miss and miss and it will never stop
because the worst thing about never seeing them again is
that the feeling of their presence becomes a distant memory to you
a feeling that you can never recall no matter how hard you try

Love
And in the end love has to be
more about what you really are
instead of what you really want

(l.p)
After trying to put into words how I feel about love I finally came to this conclusion - a conclusion I've never gotten to before. Might that be progress?

Desire
It's like the snake in the story about the Fall of Man
She's Eva and she will forever give in without fear
as the story gets read
for everyone to hear
She will forever give in to the desire

**

(But if Adam was to be in Eva's place,
wouldn't he do the same?
'Cause desire lies in everybody,
at that point we're all the same)

l.p.
Why was it even a sin to explore the unknown?
Isn't that what makes us grow no matter how it turns out. If Eva never took that bite of the apple -  Adam and Eva would've forever lived in ignorance

Anyone else but you
Sometimes I wonder
If love will find me again
I fell hopelessly in love with you
but I'm not quite sure if I ever got over you
if I did, then how could I possibly fall in love
with anyone else but you?

Here's to you
People like you always think of others before yourselves. You were almost a big sister to your own big sister instead of being the little sister. You always asked if your friends were okay without noticing that you yourself was out of your depth. Fortunately somebody helped you but it makes me sad to realize that this special person that saw what was going on with you weren't one of them you had always been there for. But here's for you, because you deserve it. May someone out there return the love and concern you hold for them so that one day you'll feel how it is to be exactly as loved as you've made everyone around you feel. Here's to you.

(l.p)
For you, Trine

Living
For what is life if you're living it
depending your love
on other people's opinion?
How do  you learn to love yourself?

What is life if you're living it
beating yourself up
for not being able to do what other people do
even though you've never been able to do so
How do you learn to live with yourself?

What is life if you're living it
constantly comparing yourself to other people
deciding that you're the bottom of the pyramid
without realising that your life is okay
How do you learn to appreciate what you've got?

For what is life..
If you're haunted by the past
haunted by the ghosts of your own soul
unable to break free
because you never ask for help?

You think it's weak to ask for help
But I'll tell you one thing:
you're the weak one
-
Life isn't easy if you
won't let yourself
be happy
For you, mom.

Love, Pain
Love is a fragile thing
when you've felt it fade away
leaving only traces of pain behind

The pain takes root in the soul
and turns into lilies
soon turning into a meadow of pain

Fear
I fear love
as much as I

This poem responds to why I'm not ready for love.. It's because I fear it. And most people would believe that love is something you should embrace and I know I will when time has come.. But until then, love will be my deepest fear..
