Brown-eyed girl
I met this brown-eyed girl that day
and wonder what she had to say
but as she had studied each and every one
it looked like her thoughts had started to run
I studied that unique look in her eyes
I thought she might be very wise
it seemed like she saw beneath the cover
soon she might be able to uncover
the secret beneath my heavy mask

(l.p)
My cousin is home for a while and she's brought her rather special little friend. Her way of existing is simply too extraorinary not to notice.. Especially the way she looks at people and the way she finally speaks after she's been silent for a while, because she's been studying everyone in the room.

Reunite At Last
Words untold
truth is detained
here in this heart
broken and pained

parts of the secret
are covered in despise
surrounded by denial
but easily disguised


Truth will be told
and lies will be past
hearts will suffer
or reunite at last

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.

(Looking At) Her (Hurt)
Her soul was like a mirror
with no reflection
the purpose of existing
was lost in the shadows
of her soul

Her eyes were like a rainstorm
drops would continue to fall
sometimes she would be like rain
a deluge of liquid pain
(overwhelming every part of her)

I wish I could give her a mirror
and eyes that make her see,
that even though she's hurting now
there's so much more she can be

(

"I remember it hurt looking at her hurt" quote from one of the most amazing movies I'ver ever seen called Stuck In Love.
I met a blind man
and he found a love in me
he found an eternal love
that only he could see

I met a deaf man
he heard the unspoken  words in me
words that only could be heard
and understood by he

I met a mute man
he spoke the truth to me
he told why I felt so alone
and know I realize
he's the most beautiful man
I've ever known

Thanks for making me see
thanks for making me hear
thanks for making speak
thanks for making my life so clear


*(l.p)
Blind, deaf, mute
See, hear, speak
I love playing with contrasts.

I met a woman
I met a woman with thoughts so loud
that they killed the silence
and became a crowd

I met a woman with a complicated mind
that left her alone wondering
if she had left herself behind

I met a woman with a soul so frail
that she didn't share it with anyone
so she turned out to be a mysterious tale

I met a woman with words so strong
that whatever she said to you
you knew it wasn't wrong

I met a woman with a heart so good
she didn't share it with many people
but when she shared it with me I understood
that she liked me all along.

(l.p)
This poem is written about my earlier science teacher. She really was a special woman - she only opened up for a few people, and I feel blessed that I was one of them. She really was a lovely woman even though she could be a little too tough sometimes - but that is just her. She has a rather special mind, 'cause I sense that she's sad and confused most of the time - but she never talks to anyone. I know it's a strange thing to realize when it was my teacher.. but I cared for her. And I still care for her.

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.

You can't breathe underwater
Oh these lonely nights
left all by yourself
with nothing but the sadness
pulling you over the cliff
into the deep blue sea
of emotions
drowning
you

you can't breathe underwater

Neverland
She held my hand
and told me
she would never let go;
whether she was lying or not
I do not know

But as I woke up
I couldn't get ahold of her hand
so I went to to find her
in Neverland.

If I was to die tonight
If I was to die tonight
would you try to save my heart
would you try to put the pieces together

would you hold my hand, hold it tight
till the moment I'll be gone.

Dear Sarah
Dear Sarah,
Why are you so sad?
You shouldn't let people tell you
whether you're good or bad

Why do you feel like you're about to drown?
You shouldn't let your friends,
or even your parents drag you down

Why do you feel drained of energy all the time?
You should be full of life
remember, happiness is not a crime

Why can't I see happiness in your eyes?
You shouldn't let people convince you that
the whole world consists of lies

Dear Sarah,
Why aren't you a happy girl?
You're sweet, thoughtful and one of a kind
don't be fooled by your mind

(l.p)
This poem is to my beloved friend Sarah. I met her last year at the boarding school. She is indeed a wonderful person! She cares about people and she has a mind worth sharing to everyone who wants to hear it. I hope she breaks the chain one day, and that her parents let her be who she is. 'cause who she is, is a gift to the world. Keep holding on, Sarah. I believe in you.

cemetery love
Being near your gravestone
makes me feel at home
Placing flowers on your burial place
makes me wish I could kiss your face
Lying next to your gravestone
awakes the pain in every single bone
Crying in front of your burial place
makes me feel like I'm trapped in a null space.

Ghost town
People tell me I live in a ghost town
but there are no ghosts to see
as good as luck would have it
they're unaware of the ghosts in me

they hang around at midnight
forcing me to stay
but all I really crave for
is to escape and get away

Sometimes they're really nice to me
and cheer me up when I'm down
but mostly they're evil as the devil
leaving me in the sea to drown

It's impossible to even run from them
since they're living in my soul
and not even your sweet love
could save me from this dark hole

But most of all they're my friends
'cause they are always hanging around
keeping me company in these lonely days
so it's okay, that I'm the one they found.

Shelter Me
Shelter me,
shelter me with your love
let it pound in my heart
and make me feel alive

shelter me,
shelter me with your presence,
let it be my friend,  let it company me
whenever I feel lonely

shelter me,
shelter me with the look in your eyes
let it reach the bottom of my heart
and make me feel seen and found

shelter me,
shelter me with your words
let them float in my veins,let them float like liquid love
through each and every part of my body

So shelter me, my love,
shelter me with the idea of being loved by you
because that's really all that matters now,
now that everything else is lost.

Finally letting go
At first I was terrified
of letting you go
I was terrified
that a certain emptiness
would fill up my heart
and leave it to wither

For a long time
I didn't miss you
and I thought
that I had finally let you go

*but now I realize
with an empty feeling in my heart
that you're gone
forever, sadly enough

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.

As we were standing there
and you held me tight
I could send my love in the direction of your heart
by simply holding you close to me..
--
And I guess it was one of these moments
where my love for you was used
the way I wanted it to
To comfort you;
as your eyes were filled with pain
your heart was filled with emptiness
your soul was filled with sorrow
and your words were filled with tenderness
--

(
l.p*)
In that moment the silence between us  spoke the words; the tenderness between us spoke the appreciation. This is about a hug in december that brought me happiness, light and warmth in the cold wintertime.. Throughout the holiday and until I'd see the face of this lovely person again.

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

Perpetually Unchanging
The sun rise, shine and set
The leaves are green, orange or red
The sea is calm, stormy or frozen
Water is lakes, rivers or oceans

The soul is living, regretting or dying
Hearts are breaking, healing or lying
Your eyes are lively, luminous or bleak
Our minds are mad, tangled or weak

I find that everything is constantly changing
but it seems that only I am perpetually unchanging

If only..
If only..
There was a love out there
a love so strong that it could
save people from dying
and take all the pain away

If only..
There was a happiness out there
a happiness so strong that it could
save your soul from turning dark
and take all the sadness away

If only..
There was a hope out there
a hope so strong that it could
make you realize that you are loved
and take all the hate away

If only..
There was a world out there
full of love, happiness and hope
a love that would keep you from leaving tonight
and convince you to stay and keep up the fight

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.

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.

Letting You Go

wasting energy on missing you, so
after all this time I can't stop wondering
if I'll ever let you go.."

(

Lately I've been missing you so much... Well, I guess I miss the presence of you, as I always tend to do. Everything used to be so joyful whenever you were around.. And whenever I felt alone, it felt like you were always there.. But now you're gone. And you've been gone for a while. But I feel like there's something inside of me, that won't let you go. Not yet.

When the colors disappear
there's is nothing more to see

someplace out of sight

Fear
I fear love

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..

The city lights are breaking the darkness
leaving the pieces of my heart
shining like broken glass on the cold ground
be careful, don't touch them
you might get hurt by the fragments
the only parts left of my broken heart.

My love, I need you to shine your light
'cause my house doesn't feel like a home tonight

the atmosphere is lonely
the hearts are cold
and all I need right now
is a hand to hold

So I've come to you to escape the lies
I ran away to feel at home in your loving eyes

Inspired from a dream dreamt last night. Actually I dreamt that I got in a huge fight with my mom and the next moment I stood next to a woman with those loving eyes of a mother - she took my hand and I was just her child for a while..

how it feels to not know
whether you're happy or falling apart

I guess you'll never know

Your loving eyes

they're all I've got to keep

On starry nights your eyes reflects

and before you sing me to sleep
my mind whispers hundreds of see you soon"s
- And everyday, my love  your eyes reflects the love I see in your heart it reflects the love I saw in you from the very start -

Childhood memories
She told me about her happy childhood memories
About how she used to wrap up in her favorite blanket
And sit beside her father on the bench at night

It fills me with a certain kind of hapiness to see her eyes light up
when she  tells all about those nights at the bench with her beloved father
But all at once it makes me miserable too to realize it's all memories
It feels like she has realized it too the way she sounds when she tells me about it

It hurts to picture her sitting all alone on the bench at night
Wrapped up in the same old comfortable blanket
Thinking about the old times and how they can never return
How I wish death couldn't touch the people we love the most.

(l.p)
I think this is how I'd feel if I lost my dad. He's my favorite person in the world and he's the one that always can make me smile whenever I really don't feel like I have a reason to it. He's always happy and people always enjoy his company - he makes them feel light and happy, always bringing the good mood with him and a big smile on his face. I love you, dad!

that the only way I can stop myself from hurting
just by the thought of your being

With my last breath
I have killed every second, every minute, every hour
Waiting for your love to rain like a meteor shower

I have killed every morning, every evening, every night
waiting for you to fill me with inner light

I have killed every day, every month, every year
waiting for our future to reappear

I have killed every intro, every verse, every song
waiting for you to take me to the place where I belong

I have killed every word, every chapter, every book
waiting for you to give back my heart that you took

I have killed every root, every petal, every flower
waiting for you to save me from my zero hour

I have killed every birth, every life, even death
longing for you with my last breath

A family
A father
filled with violence and rage
keeping his wife locked up an  unpleasantly cage
he drinks and screams and hits his wife
but ends up taking his own miserable life

A mother
inexperienced, beautiful and scared
year after year she gets even harder to repair
she's filled with love for her two girls and her little boy
but her life is not filled with that much joy

30 years later*

A daughter
with kids, a husband and a good life

Another daughter
with a lovely family and a life without strife

A son
who broke the contact with their mother, oh how it made her sad
but even worse, he blamed her for the loss of his dad.
I wrote this poem about this famlily because it affects me. The mother is my favorite person in the world and she's been through a lot - but she's the most warm-hearted person I've ever known. And now she's happy with a man here in this country who's treating her right and making her laugh. I'm so and thankful for that. All I ever want is for her to be happy.

I'll wait for you
I'll wait for you 'till the ashes hits the ground
'till I won't be able to make a sound

I'll wait for you with the gun against my head
'till I'm standing alone to face my death

I'll wait for you with the knife against my skin
'till the knife cuts so deep that it makes my head spin

I'll wait for you with the noose around my neck
'till it gets tighter and turns me into a wreck

I'll wait for you in the death of night
'till I've given up and lost the fight
I'll wait for you until the day
I take my own life

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.

Dear Charlotte
Dear Charlotte,

Whenever there was a storm
you had power over sea
you comforted the water
just like you comforted me

I saw you as my guardian angel
always being around
and so you were the shining light
always picking me up from the ground

Now there's something I need you to know,
I've always loved you a lot
and also I want you to know
that you're the one I never forgot

I always knew you liked me,
in a special kind of way
by the sweet concering love
I saw in your eyes every day

And now you have a home
in a special part of my heart
and I guess that's why I miss you
now that I know, that we'll be forever apart.

(
l.p*)
This poem might me my most personal one ever. Charlotte was my beloved (and favourite) class teacher. She was a special and kind woman with a strong love in her heart. She had the most beautiful blue eyes I've ever seen and she really loved our class. And we really loved her. We had a special kind of connection I can't explain, but I'm greatful that it happened. She really is the best thing that has happened to me. And last but not least, she always understood me. Always. :-*

We saw the same sunrise
We saw the same sunrise today
sadly you did not know
the sun shone bright through heavy fog
with no sign of letting go

Through misty eyes I saw you
remembering that day we said goodbye
the day I breathed the morning air
and there was sadness in the sky

But today, my darling - I'm on my way
on my path, on the right track
and yeah, I'm happy most of the time
but at times I also want you back
