Lifening
Eyes are watching
but the don't see
igorant is everything
we'll ever be

Blood is floating
through our veins
freedom rings
but we're still in chains

Hearts are beating
our hearts are as one
but we're living in our own caves
underneath the sun

The air we breathe
only leaves us to die
our lives starts with hellos
and continues with goodbyes

When I lost you
It felt like the sun
had left the ocean dry
the way you left me
without saying goodbye

it felt like the sky
had fallen down to ground
and suddenly you were everywhere
and all around

it felt like the thunder
had broken the sky
when I heard you jumped off
the building believing you could fly

it felt like the rain
wouldn't stop to fall
just as my tears
wouldn't stop at all

it felt like the sun
couldn't shine the light
when I stood at your funreal
and turned to the dark side.

Your eyes were teary
but your veins were dry

You looked so lost

Everything's Not Lost
"Everything's not lost, my dear"
She said that day he was no longer near
the day he got burried six feet under ground
but even with her by my side,
the world kept spinning around

She held me tight that day he passed by
telling me her love would never die
'everything's not lost', I guess it was true
'cause her love was going to get me through

So I guess love is able to heal every wound
and pick you up when you hit the ground
love is going to make death less hard
and avoid your heart from falling apart

Thank you because you were there all along
without you - there is no place where I belong
you're my guardian angel, my shining star
I hope you feel my love wherever you are

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*

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.

Haiku / Blue Love
Your love is  hollow
And my love for you is blue
I guess you hurt too
I don't find peace in the stars anymore
maybe it's because I'm not lonely
maybe it's because I'm free
or maybe it's just because
I'm no longer in love
with thee.

(l.p)
When I was in love I always found peace of mind in the stars. Somehow I always thought of you when the stars appeared on the night sky. Quite odd, right? 'cause whenever I knew you were far away you always seemed so near when I stared at the starry sky for hours and hours.

You always went to search
for that peculiar sign of light
an endless search it was

Fragile love
I caught myself
feeling that kind of emptiness
as if I was the only person
in the whole wide world
not having anyobdy loving me..

*All because you seemed to be
more absent  than ever before
It made me realize, that love is fragile,
even when you think it's the strongest
force on earth
Ok, this is not really a poem.... In these days I just really can't seem to think of love as being real or strong. It's so fragile. And my connection to love is so fragile too. It really gets me down some times, even though people don't really seem to notice..

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.

Can't write poems
I can't write poems; I'm lost for words
I can't write poems*; words rush like birds
My love is sinking like a ship
swallowing at the bottom of the sea
and so I'm sinking too, my dear
with your love, my heart and me

I guess I'll admit I loved you
more than you ever knew
and now as I'm fading away
there's nothing you can undo.

a book with no words
a song with no melody
an ocean with no water

Sometimes I feel as empty

Forget, Move On
Finally came winter,
yet another year has gone
I now realize, that we were meant to meet,
forget and then move on
... But the hardest thing I've ever faced, was letting go of you. And you see, my love, I'm still trying, but I'm afraid that it's impossible to do.

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.

Rain
I guess I haven't quite revealed
what people mean when they say
that some people feel the rain

Is it the rain that comes along with the thunder?
Making you feel like your world's going under

Is it the rain that is similar to you?
Falling hard as you do too

It it the rain that pours down for a whole day?
That makes you realize that you're not okay

Or is it the rain that is silent and still?
That makes you feel calm as you're standing on the hill

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

When I fall asleep
(1 pm)
I can't seem to forget the way you looked at me
the way people look when they admire what they see

(2 pm)
I can't seem to forget the way you held me close to you
the way people hold someone to show that their love is true

(3 pm)
I can't seem to stop missing the love that you gave to me
that kind of love that is nearly as deep as the sea

(4 pm)
I can't seem to stop missing the light coming from you
that kind of light that not even the dark could break through

(5 pm)
As for now I'll soon be fast asleep
but sadly you're only mine to keep
when I fall asleep.

The writer
Every day (he would dream)
of  the days with you
your laugh, your kisses
your smile
he would picture your face
when he tried to fall asleep
late at night
he would write poems
and books
(about) the times with (you)
he would make you
the main character
in every single
lovestory he ever wrote
-
You were his reason for
writing all his books
from the first one
(until) the very last one
before (he died)
with a piece of your
love in his hands.

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.

Nothing, Everything
Nothing's quite the same anymore
everything has changed
and will never be like before

The future is gone and so is the past
time won't let us be
nothing will last

Everything's nothing, nothing is all
we're everything and we're nothing
we're bigger than small

So why can we hurt and still be all right?
Why can our dreams only survive at night?

She said, I said
She said
"Why do you let it
get you down?"
as long as you're happy
with your life as it is now,
and you're happy with
who you've become...


you shouldn't
care so much about
the answer. your time
will come


I said*

"Well I am.
in this moment,
just right now"


... but the truth is,
that I don't feel the same
anymore...
Lately I've been thinking a lot about what 'she said' - and yeah, I don't feel the same anymore. Maybe because the question remains the same and the answer might have changed...

Planted Kisses in My Dreams
You planted your kisses in my dreams
that one time I let you in*

*But when I woke up
I felt the bittersweet pain
of missing  your soft lips
on my skin
The bittersweet pain fulfilled dreams.. That are just as unattainable when you wake up.

The mother of my dreams
I crave
for your love
a love so deep
I crave
for your voice to
sing me to sleep

I crave
for your eyes
to look into mine
I crave
for your love
to always shine

I crave
for you
to make things fine
but you're only my mother
when my consciousness
and dreams
entwine.

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?

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

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!

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

Which door am I facing?
Which door am I facing
is it the furture or the past?
Whish door am I chasing
is it the next or is it the last?
Which time am I embracing
will it go slow or will it go fast?

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.
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.

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.

I got lost in the ocean
I got lost in the ocean
I got lost in its powerful wave
I got lost in how it filled up my deepest concave

I fell in love with the ocean
I fell in love with its cosy sound
I fell in love with how it seemed to heal my wound

I found peace in the ocean
I found peace in the water so clear
I found peace in  the way it whispered lullabies in my ear

made the pieces of my heart  come together

Your loves was like the snow on Christmas Eve
made me feel what it was to believe.

Goodbyes
When two people say goodbye

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

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.

whenever I turned into someone
I did not knew

Somehow showing you I wasn't always okay, fixed me in some kind of way. And your love.. Your love is healing.

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.

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.
