The trace of your kiss is safely kept on my lips. Never to disappear.*

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.
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.

(l.p)
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*

(l.p)
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.
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.
And I who thought
that I'd never feel so alone again
that I would stay awake
wondering if I'd ever just feel
like I had a home
in someone else's heart

ever again
"Just be careful not to **** it with your thoughts"
And maybe that's what I've been doing.
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?
Art
Art
Your art expresses a soul
which I never got to know
Oh, how incredible it is
to really see you..
Even though it wasn't
goodbye after all;
I couldn't stop myself
from looking at you
as if you were
a memory.

(l.p)
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.
Beautiful days
are spent with
beautiful people.

(l.p)
For it's only when we can't see
the beauty in ourselves
We truly see the beauty
in the people surrounding us
Believing in love
is a hard thing to do
'cause once I wished
on a shooting star
and it never brought
me to back to you
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.
Just like flowers
we bloom too

But in order to bloom
We must have sunshine and rain;
happiness and pain
Maybe they fear
that they break their parents' hearts
before their parents fear that their child's heart is broken
now they won't fear it breaking
because of someone else (than before)

(l.p)
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.
I can't write poems; I'm lost for words
I can't write poems*; words rush like birds
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.

(l.p)
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!
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.
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. :-*
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.
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.
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
If only dreams were more than
my subconsciousness

If only you weren't a product of it..
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.
*** 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.
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.
Sometimes I feel as empty as
a book with no words
a song with no melody
an ocean with no water

Sometimes I feel as empty
as a lover
with no love.

(l.p)
Always or never
you will still be my
forever

At first or at last
I will forever be your
past

time moves fast, my love...
I miss you so
You always went to search
for that peculiar sign of light
an endless search it was
as you disappeared into the night.

(l.p)
"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

(
l.p*)
I fear love
as much as I
fear pain
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..
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
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.
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 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.

(l.p)
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.
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.
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

(l.p)
Sometimes I want to
d i s a p p e a r  
into the evening
s k y
illuminate the
d a r k n e s s
and leave without saying
g o o d b y e
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.
Your love is  hollow
And my love for you is blue
I guess you hurt too
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
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

(
l.p*)
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..
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.
If I was to die tonight
would you try to save my heart
would you try to put the pieces together
and make it complete as it was from the start

If I was to die tonight
would you hold my hand till dawn
would you hold my hand, hold it tight
till the moment I'll be gone.

(
l.p*)
Having a sad night.. A sleepless one too.
