Various Thoughts at Different Times
April 28th, 2001
winter so cold *
nature so bold
i'm feeling so old *
and drowning in sorrow
that my life has to end *
don't know where to go
my confusion is endless *
and i feel so defendless
so vulnerable *
and in despair
have not explored all that i wanted *
am not ready to sink into non-existence
into this never never ever *
have no more resistance
April 28th, 2001
youth is gone *
innocence being killed
maturity set in *
just to begin
anew *
approaching the golden years
and there are only fears *
consuming my every being
not seeing *
any future ahead
so i've made my bed *
as they said ...
April 28th, 2001
summer outside *
embracing everything around
except me *
i am an outsider
looking in *
inventing a second existence
a world of what could have been *
and is no more.
fantasies are playing wild *
in my heart, in my mind
their outcome not always kind *
pity on me
but why should this be? *
April 28th, 2001
my inside is hot *
i'm in rage a lot
can't deal with it *
am restless
feel reckless *
want to run my fist through the window
hurting myself *
while tears are falling
down my face *
need drugs to dull the pain
of being mortal *
and what's to face
torture so overwhelming *
my soul is in pain
why why why *
is this happening to me ...
June 29th, 2015
my time has run out*
nothing to talk about
endless silence*
surrounding my heart
and make me part*
of NOTHING ...
June 24th, 2015
a blind man who can see*
his priorities re-arranged
his senses heightened*
his feelings stronger then ever
who else can he now be*
to me
the same - I didn't change*
I accepted this reality
and so did he*
with grace and sensitivity
it makes no difference to me*
never ever
although his heart is broken*
his mind is strong
remaining is hope*
he wants to belong
to the one he loves*
who cannot give
what he desires*
too late, too soon?
standing yet on another crossroad again*
life repeating itself
over and over again*
it will never end
it just will never end ...*
June 14th, 2015
oh my dear god*
I am falling apart
of what I have learned*
and no wisdom gained
for what I have yearned*
definitely not for the faint ...
June 8th, 2015
I FEEL LIKE A WRITER, A HUNTER, A POET, A PAINTER, A MUSICIAN *
NOT BEING IN THE POSITION
OF BEING EITHER ONE *
TO TURN MY SOUL LOOSE IN ALL THIS MADNESS AROUND ME
TO BE OR NOT TO BE *
LIKE SHAKESPEARE CITATES
TO BE ONLY ME *
IS THAT ENOUGH TO BE FREE
OF MYSELF?*
June 10th, 2015
feeling you is feeling me*
tasting you is tasting me
all of you is all of me*
will we drown
or will we breathe*
will we frown
or be at ease*
stronger then a hurricane
will it ever be the same*
will it last until we die
or will we fry*
in our passion for each other
no matter the reality*
it is going to be
it is going to be*
I am your dream lost at sea
do come and rescue me*
July 2015
YOU ARE MY PAGANINI *
I AM YOUR SYMPHONY
YOU ARE MY VIOLIN *
I AM YOUR BLUES
TOGETHER WE WILL WRITE HISTORY *
AND ALL THE WORLD NEWS
WE ARE DREAMING TOGETHER *
NEVER MIND THE WEATHER
OUR SONG WILL SOAR *
FOR EVERYONE TO HEAR
BECAUSE YOU ARE SO NEAR *
TO ME
July 2015
his eyes are dead *
the life he led
the price he paid *
is living life by the drop
and nothing will make him ever stop *
NOTHING ...
July 15th, 2015
I am what I am *
I am what I am not
I am a chameleon *
which changes a lot
its colors, its terrain *
They are never the same
I am a kitten *
I am a lion
And I am dying to let you know *
that you've never seen this kind of show
BEFORE ..*
July 15th, 2015
DON'T TRUST *
EVEN YOURSELF
IS THAT A WAY TO LIVE *
TO PUT EVERYTHING ON A SHELF
BACK INTO THE CLOSET *
AND LOCKING THE DOOR
PUTTING A GUARD *
AROUND YOUR HEART
NOT BEING ALIVE *
NOT CARING
REGARDLESS WHO *
REGARDLESS WHAT
AND KEEP LIFE'S DOOR *
FOREVER SHUT
July 15th, 2015
I still can have my cake *
And eat it too
I thought the matter thoroughly through *
This time I will pretend
Again *
I've always done
Why change now? *
But can I live
My tortured soul *
Nothing making me whole
To be a shadow of a ghost *
To put on a show
I really can't host?*
July 15th, 2015
Why so dark my friend *
You wallow in self pity
Me *
Happiness is no guarantee
in our lives ...*
October 2015 –
it was a vision of the past *
not ever going to last
not even a moment *
in our turbulent world
so so far away *
had nothing important to say
except unimaginable lies *
adding confusion
made no contribution *
no impact
leaving nothing behind *
not even a breath
a shade to mankind *
no terrible loss
it didn't exist *
it was an invention of a dream
of nothing after all *
it was infatuation one wanted
not brutal reality *
couldn't one see
I was chasing the wrong tree?*
October 2015
thunder clouds *
grey to darker than black
confusing forms of danger *
looming at the horizon
waiting to strike *
the innocent and lonely
the helpless and non*
heltered
gripping tight on what's to come *
surreal blending stripes
racing across the sky *
unexpectedly
a song arises *
a choir lamenting
sounds so strange *
yet so inviting
a sudden bolt of lightness *
growling of the heavens
a melody so striking *
empowering nature
to fight this spectacle of thunder and lightening *
a sudden hush filling the air
waiting for the next disaster *
bending down in waiting
like a bride for the groom *
and there it is
frightening close *
all the nerves on earth are shaking
will this threat ever go away? *
no no bellows odin
your are mine forever *
I am the power
I am the god *
I am your past
settle down with me *
until the morning sun will arise like a fireball
erasing the darkness *
burning off your fear
sounds of silence *
so very very near
where are you mother of light *
have you abandoned the night
and wiped away the darkness? *
I am waiting ...
