Desire

 

Deep down in your heart

There is a desire

Desire for someone that you love

Running you are

Away from that feeling

Afraid of what might come

If it is answered

The past has built a wall

Greater than any in the world

Afraid you are

To tear it down

What is on the other side?

Love?

Hate?

Distrust?

Whatever it is

Fear is preventing you

From moving on

To find love

 

On the other side

Its dark

Unknown territory

Anything that could hurt is there

To hunt you

To stop you

Can you move on?

No, you say

Yes, you say

Meanwhile, the desire is growing

On the other side

Someone is waiting

Patiently, on your return

In the darkness that is without you

Desire there is

Desire for you

Waiting in the dark

Waiting alone

  Fields of Heaven

 

I walk in the fields of heaven,

An angel is following the path I go,

She emanates the light of a million stars,

Tearing down the stones around my heart,

Keeping the beasts of darkness away,

The shape of my heart is that of a rose,

A red rose in the wild,

Growing strong with the winds of love,

I am now ready to embrace,

Embrace the love of the rose,

I will never abandon the truth,

Truth of her divine love,

Beast of hell may stand in our path,

Only to be destroyed with the true love of a star,

A star so bright,

It will dominate heaven and hell,

Removing the pain of a thousand sins,

Committed in the time of absence,

Absence of the starlight in my life,

The light is burning the evil away,

Never to return,

Never to be reborn in my heart,

She is my life, my love,

She is the essence of true love,

May destiny never separate me from her again,

Else I will be lost in hell for all eternity,

Hell is my home no more,

Lady Rose is my home,

For life and eternity

Lady Rose

 

She appears like the early winter morning,

Glistening like thousand snow flings in sunshine,

The wind blows through her like she was an angel,

She is light as air, thin as air,

Her eyes are like the moon at night,

Shining with silver light,

The wind moves her hair in harmony,

Black like a dark cave,

Glittering in the reflection of light,

Her lips are like soft silk,

When touched give the feeling of eternal love,

The touch of her hands is like the rose,

Sharp and soft,

Leaves a smell of spring,

She speaks like the trees,

Slow, soft and with a breeze,

Her moving body flows as a river,

Gracious and without resistance,

 

Her presence makes the heart stop and listening,

She makes me speechless as she laid her eyes on me,

Lost in the light of her eyes,

Lost in her soul of love,

Paralysed by her smell of fresh roses,

She moved past me,

Creating a longing stronger than life,

Stronger than me,

My soul left me and followed her,

Followed her to eternity of love,

Her whispering voice as she sing,

Filled the hole in my heart,

Gave me hope to live,

She is my life and eternal light,

Without her I would be lost,

In the dark secluded depths of hell,

Heaven walks with her,

Bringing life to all she touch,

Changed my life forever making me hers,

I walk with her to the end of time,

To the end of everything,

Without remorse

*** 

 

Night walk

 

You walk down the street at night

You are alone in the dark

Thoughts, buried deep down in your heart

Emerges and haunt you

The images of her

The time in your past

You can still smell her in the air

It wasn’t long ago

Since your last encounter with her

Still you don’t dare to talk

To tell your story of love

You are not afraid of her anger

You are not scared to hear her words

You are terrified of the answer

So terrified you can’t walk anymore

 

You lay down on the side of the road

Staring in to the dark sky

Your heart is burning so hard

But nothing can change that anymore

You are lost in the night

And can’t find your way home

Salvation is there but yet so far away

Lost in another life

Another heart

You scream for help

None replies to your request

They look at you

But they are just passing by

You are alone

In the dark secluded depths

Falling deeper and deeper

     Until there is no return

No light to follow

Like a zombie

You glance at her

While the image slowly dissolve

Darkness is all that is left

Alone you are

Alone

 

***

 

Trust

 

In times before

Hurt came in abundance

There was none to rely on

Those whom you love

All hurt you with no thoughts

Of what it did to you

You trusted your heart to them

They repaid you

They crushed you

Without any consideration

Lovers, friends and family

Walked over you

Left you in the dirt

Stepping on you

On their way to the future

Whom can you trust?

You ask

 

You found the answer

But the love you found

Was to good to be true

Everyday you waited

Anxiously

That he too would hurt you

Small things he did

Build up and became huge

He tried to please you

Everyday, but he failed

Restless you became

More everyday

One-day home

You couldn’t take it anymore

He must hurt you!

He must!

He didn’t

Then you left

Leaving a huge wound

That would never heal

A crushed heart you left

Repeating the cycle of life

Then he hurt you

In desperation he did

Trying to keep you

He hurt you

The same way you hurt him

Who is to blame?

Who?

The White Lady

 

Shining as the snow in a glorious winter day

Sparkling with rays of light

Moving through the air as a falling star

Bright, fast and gracious

She takes the breath out of any man

As she casually moves through their hearts

She sees you but yet not

Her mind and heart is somewhere else

You long for her but she is not there for you

The pain in your heart is slowly growing

With every time you see her on the street

She walks past and next to you

Your heart is beating like a drum

Yet, she still don’t hear you

Your mind wants to talk

But your mouth isn’t there to utter the words

Cowardly you move on

 

Agonizing is the pain in your heart

You linger in the darkness of your mind

Linger for her

The white lady in your mind

Why? You ask yourself

Why can’t she see you?

Why? White Lady, can’t you see I am burning for you?

The coward in you tells the answer

The feeling you feel when you see the truth

The pain you experience is your own fault

White Lady is not to blame

Cause she can’t see the flame in your heart

Burning so strong

You pray, that one day she will see you

Hope that she will stop and take a closer look

At your burning desire for her

White Lady in the night!

Hear me, see me, and tell me

Is there hope?

Silence

 

I am waiting

In silence

To hear the voice

Just to hear it

It doesn’t matter

How short

How long

I just want to hear

The sound of you

Silence is my foe

Harsh it feels

The absence of sound

Your sound

 

On silence I walk

Over the abyss

If it’s broken

I will fall

In to your arms

If it’s not broken

I will walk

Away from you

Further and further

Until there is no return

Until I cant hear you

Anymore

 

Oh, the pain

Of silence

Don’t let the absence of sound

Be your guide

Scream loud

So you can be heard

Stop the silence

With your voice

Make me stop

Listen to you

Hear you

Telling me to stop

And I will

 

***

 

  Future

 

Running is time

Towards the future

The next millennium

What will come?

What will happen to me?

Where have everyone gone?

You don’t care

The future is like a black road

Only lit by the flashlight in your hand

How will you see the end?

Where will it go?

Who will hurt you next?

A black whole is swallowing the road

Consuming all that is you

Making you empty like a dry desert

Who will use you next?

What lies will you be told?

How much will it hurt?

 

The future could be glorious

It could be beautiful

Even fantastic

The past tells otherwise

It will be random pain

Piles of dirt thrown at you

More lies told

None to trust

Where can you go?

Why not just lie down?

Turn around and go back?

There is no option

You walk as you always do

Following the road to the future

No matter what will happen

Hoping to find the peace you seek

The perfect world

Where all your dreams come true

You will find it

Eventually

Or die

 

***

 

Broken wings

 

Once you flew over the oceans

Over all the lands

You where strong

Beat all the fears in your heart

None could stop you

Flying over time

Beyond the boundaries

Put up by others

Invincible you was

Giving me strength to fight

Pushing me beyond my limits

Helping me to fly

 

Now your wings are broken

You lie there alone

Shattered by lies

Never will you fly again

The chain on your neck

Is heavy and prevents you from moving

Away from the enemy

Closing in they are

To finish their work

You stand there

With your head high

Not fighting anymore

Letting them destroy your wings

One among them is me

I pick up your wings

Tries to put them back on

Help you to fly again

In vain

You are dying

I am crying

The others just watch

As your strength withers away

At last you close your eyes

Leaving behind

My broken heart and me

Shame I feel

To loose you

To let you die

Without a fight

 

***

 

Walk with me

 

What am I saying?

To whom am I saying?

Why am I saying?

Do you understand?

What I tell

To you in the night

You hear me

But do you really hear?

Can I understand you?

Your story

Your request

We walk past each other

Talking to one another

Our words slip by

Missing us both

Angry we get

Hurt it does

 

Stop and listen

We need

Take time to understand

Keep our anger below

Trust each other

We have to

Or it will go bad

Gentle is the word

To guide us

So we don’t get hurt

Once again

We almost got lost

I hope we will find our way

Together

Without the abyss

Of misunderstanding

I cry

Every time we miss

Our goal

Help me find the way

And I will help you

Walk with me

To end of time

Walk with me

Forever

Insanity

 

The road I walk

It’s the road to insanity

The longer I walk

It grows within

Yearning for someone

It's a lost cause

The road will never end

Only get steeper and steeper

Harder and harder

To reach the illusion

Franticly I walk

Towards the insanity

I can se it

I can hear it

I can’t do anything

To stop it

 

The harder I try

The further away it gets

I must be insane

To beat my self

Against the rock

My feet are bleeding

Scraped by the glass

I walk on

Spectators laughing

Pointing at the fool

Shouting strange words

Stop!

I don’t understand

I can’t stop anymore

Either I reach my goal

Or I will die

Trying to reach it

Insane it is

I know

 

***

 

  Behold

 

I am moving towards the end

Slowly destroying everything

In my path

I burn everything I see

Anger

Fear

Happiness

All is burning

Everything is consumed

Carefully I gather the small pieces

Throwing it on the fire

I can’t help it

I have to destroy it

Before it destroys me

The weight of it all

Is to much

I will not carry it anymore

 

How did this happen?

Why am I destroying everything?

All she said was

Happy Christmas

And

Happy New Year

The words cut me so deep

I still cry

I was bleeding to death

I had to stop it

Before I bleed to death

So I am burning down my road

Cutting of everything

Before I die

I will never let anything

Come that close to my heart again

I still want to love

But I am now building a wall

That none will ever brake

Shutting the sun out

I am getting frozen

So cold

 

***

 

Fury

 

Raging are the wind

Tearing me up from my roots

Tossing me around

Playing with me like a doll

Pounding me in to walls

Crushing me with its roaring fury

Helpless I float around

In the air

Wherever the wind takes me

I watch the world from above

As I plunge down to earth

I don’t see anyone out

Walking the streets

Its empty

Everyone is hiding

Afraid of the angry wind

What are they afraid of?

 

Come out and see

See the world through the raging wind

Its rips your soul to shreds

It feels so good

To loose control

Of life

To be lifted of the ground

Blown away to the sky

Knowing you will die

When you come down to earth again

Follow the force

Like a rocket

Use the force

For the brief moment you can grasp it

Grab the moment

Before it’s to late

I am diving fast now

Closing in on the ground

Following the wind

There it ends

Back in to dust I fell

Not moving anymore

Who cares?

I lived

 

***

 

  Soul

 

You have one soul

Don’t waste it

There are many out there

Trying to change you

Sell you the world

Telling you what to think

Making you believe them

They are better than you

That’s what they say

Judging you for what you are

Come! Follow us!

Look like us! Be like us!

NO I SAY!

 

Fight them

Never sell your soul to them

Make your own image

Don’t let anyone tell you what to do

Scream out loud if you have to

Show them that you are better

Don’t care what they say

Do as you please

Follow your own road

Let them laugh at you

Just smile and move on

Feel good about yourself

No matter how bad it goes

It doesn’t matter

You are glorious

Special in everyway

Fat, ugly, beautiful, shining or not

We all give something to this world

Enjoy it everyday

In your home, at work, far away

Rich or poor

Lying down, running, flying

You are still you

Nothing can change that

Be who you are

Keep your soul

 

***

 

Waiting

Time pass

The clock keeps ticking

No matter what you do

You stand here waiting

People rushing by

Hurrying to places

Important things to do

At least that's what they think

What could be more important?

Than waiting

Waiting for someone

That you love

The world may tumble down Around you

But you stand there

Don't care

 

One day she will come

Walking through that door

With a big smile

Happy to see you

Knowing you waited for her

Even though it took a long time

You will always wait

For true love

You will sacrifice

Everything for that

Evil may come

Destroying everything in its path

You will not budge

If the skies opens and rain down fire

You will not move

You may die

Then you will do so

Your sole will still be there

Waiting for her

Because you love her

 

***

 

Dawn

The sun walks above the horizon

Spreading its light

Waking everyone up

Life starts once more

The dawn is filled With light and cold air

Your breath creates long mists

Every time you breathe

In that mist she appears

Like a ghost

She smiles at you

Open her arms

Wants you to come to her

You walk towards her

Then she is gone

 

Once again you lost her

Will you ever see her again?

And there she reemerges

In the mist she walks

Unreachable to anyone

A beautiful angel she is

Her presence

Even a ghostly one

Gives you satisfaction

Everyday in your life

The memories make you live

Going on in the walk of life

The time you had with her

It was all worth it

Even though it ended

You smile

With the image of her

In the mist in front of you

Thank you

For your time

 

***

 

The next day

 

What happened?

You feel empty

Disillusioned

But the other day

Was great

You walk forth and back

Looking at the phone

Like a deer

Waiting for the tiger

To show up

Nervously you wait

Nothing happens

You expected that of course

 

Love is not enough

Action is not enough

Money is not enough

Nothing is enough

If the feeling isn't there

You know the feeling is there

You have seen it

Yesterday

In her eyes

And the way she fight with you

She still loves you

But she will never come back

To you

No matter what you do

The road is closed

By an invisible wall

She will never open her heart

To anyone anymore

She is lost

In her own fear

Nothing you do

Can bring her out

All you can do

Is watch her disappear

In to the fog of time

"Farewell my love"

 

***

 

 

Time

 

Everyone say

Time will heal

Heal all wounds

I then ask

When will it heal?

How much time will it take?

Pain is my companion everyday

Wherever I go

She is there

In my mind

Every phone call

I think it's her

Every person walking

Through the door

At work

I think it's her

Everyday she is in my mind

 

It gets worse for everyday

When will it end?

How can it ever end?

Time don't heal the wounds

It only conceal it

Hides the wound

Until something comes back

Rip it all open again

Bleeding like a river

Draining me of my strength

In all the time

I don't do anything

I think of her

Every second Of my life

I thought the wise men Was right

Time will heal all wounds

I know now that they are wrong

Time only conceal

Makes it worse next time

I see her

 

***

 

Mirror

I look in to the mirror

I see a stranger

Who is he?

I have never seen him before

Once I think I knew him

I think he used to be me

Now I don't know anymore

I have lost control

Over my self

And don't know where I have gone

I am lost

Staring at a stranger in the mirror

 

The mirror gets blurry

Suddenly it's none there

A whole opens

A strong wind starts

It tears me to shreds

I vanished in to the mirror

Next time I open my eyes

I still gaze in to the mirror

I don't know what I see

It's not me

It cold be her

I am not sure

I am so confused

Can someone smash the mirror?

So I can move again

I understand what I do

But what I can't understand

Is why I do it?

Watching the mirror

Is like entering the abyss

To hell

It hurts badly

Still I can't stop

I try to reach out

In to the mirror

Only to get rejected

By her

 

***

 

Pity

 

I pity those

Who don't know love

Yes, It hurts

It hurt so much it could kill you

But if you never loved someone

You have never lived

Sometimes you love

But don't really know it

That's what happened to me

I loved her

But I didn't see it

Until It was to late

I lost her

Forever

 

Will I ever find that love again?

Pity I feel

For myself

I don't know if it's right

To feel that about oneself

But I do

Pity that I lost

Everything that had any meaning

To my life

I have felt Strong feelings for someone else

But I had to remove them

Before it would kill me

It's a pity she isn't here

She might be the right one

Not sure

Her heart is somewhere else

Tending to someone else

Pity poor me

Because I cant find my way home

Lost I am

Promise me

If you walk past me

Kill me

 

***

 

Hell

 

To hell with everything

To hell with you

Let them all burn

I want to see them twist in agony

Getting burned in hell

Yes, I hate you

I want to kill you

Feel the last breath of you

Leaving

See you die before my feet

I will crush you under my feet

Like the bug you are

You don't deserve me

I can get much better in my life

HAHAHAHAHA

 

And we all know this is a lie

It's all a lie

The hate I feel

Its not you I hate

It's me I hate

I hate myself

Because I am helpless

To do anything

I can't even hold on to myself

It's no wonder

I can't hold on to you

I will never hate you

Never get angry

At least I will try

I wish hell could come

Take me away

To end my torture

With another Hell!

Even the worst sinner

Have a good time

Compared to lost love

Let me sleep

Don't ever wake me up

Because you will hurt me

Like hell
