the summer years ago
when i saw you again
i was afraid my head blushed red
cause i couldn’t remember if i’d said
that the summer rain in you
nice smile and teenage look
made me enjoy the view
do i dare
even if i care
say it?
never thought of those days
the summer years ago
when i drove you to the beach
believe me when i say
that these last summers rain
have made you more beautiful than ever
do i dare
even if i care
say it?

in a void of grey

in a void of grey
softly your eyes
suck the colours from my world
leaving me in a void
of grey
every colour is now withheld
as concentrated emotion
as shining rainbows
inside of you
violently your eyes
hurl the colours through mine
streaming through my veins
into my heart
my grey heart explodes
leaving me floating
in an ocean of colours
with you
immortal i’ll be floating
until the day you close
your eyes

confidence dance
as i wake up in a new place
and the animal faces laughing scornfully
i try to run away
run lying down
their hands grabbing to catch
i scream my heart out
i cannot dance here
as i run towards the wall
smash my face against the bricks
find the door
and stumble face down
their eyes cutting like knives
and they laugh and laugh and laugh
silently
flee out of reality
to be with you my unknown love
safely lying down
in your mothers-womb
happily
dancing with you honestly

it matters
you’re free to go
it’s alright
you’re free to compare
if you find
someone better than me
you’re free to go
it’s alright
it’s alright
you’re free to go
to compare
it’s alright
i’ll love you even though
free to go
to compare
to fi nd the best
to you
it’s alright
if you find me second best
i only want to be yours
if i’m the best
you’re free to go
it’s alright
if i’m second best
i’ll love you even though
i’ll be second best
cause in my eyes
you're the best
i won’t go
even though it’s alright
even though i’m free to go
it’s alright
if you find me best
i think you’ll find me best
i hope you’ll find me best
i pray you’ll find me best
it’s alright
you’re free to go
it’s alright
if you want to go
it’s alright
it’s alright
alright

game over
it has to be settled
so we both know the outcome
it has to be settled
so i don’t prolong this
it has to be marked by your mouth
with the hardest and blackest words
it has to be marked
and maybe i can end this
i’ve heard what you’ve said
read what you’ve written
seen what you’ve wished for
it’s not prolongation
but cancellation
and there will no longer
be remembered, fought or loved
on your part
it has to be marked by your mouth
if this ever has to end
it has to be settled
cause senseless as i am
all i can do
is to prolong
this sick thing

me
i break down from thinking who i am
i shatter from trying to describe myself
i fall from seeing me objectively
i stumble from comparing me with anybody else
and everything i notice seems to be
either fatally wrong or perfectly right
and every part of me seems to be
a disturbing offence or a blessing delight
but i fail the separation of me and my acts
the parting of who i am and what i do
but i cannot find the difference
between the surface and beneath
between marine and navy blue
so i don’t know what is acts to change
and i don’t know what is absolute me
i don’t know what is my fault, what i’m to blame
so i blame myself for everything
cause i cannot ignore what i see
not anymore

taming the sea

taming the sea
sometimes i feel like a boy
playing on the seashore
watching my castles being washed away
by the water, the endless water
by water as blue as your eyes
with drapes to cover the transparency inside
so eloquently hiding from me the nature of the sea
to rush and take away
and it will never change
i will always try to build us perfect
and it will always fail
i will never see through you
sometimes i feel like a boy
sitting on the seashore
watching the waves roll ashore
fearing and admiring the sea
struggling with the need to dive on in
knowing that i will be swallowed whole
by the water, the endless water

emotiophobic
i’m afraid of reality
afraid of what i am
afraid of what i wish and dream
i’m afraid of your honesty
i’m afraid of emotions
you sparkle in me
i’m afraid of the truth
afraid to forget
afraid, i’m afraid of life
afraid you never love
i’m afraid it is me
afraid it is me creating the fear
i dare not open my eyes to look
i’m afraid
afraid you never love
afraid you’ve never loved

galled
your lips, forming smiles
your eyes, mild glances
your voice, laughter and words
grabs hold, tears my skin off
from bared fl esh
the blood trickles from my body
the throat dries out
the tiniest breath on my body
causes shivering pain
unprotected and vulnerable i stand
i’m not adept to embrace you
even your caresses opens wounds
painfully
do i dare believe i’m happy?
do i dare believe in your dependency?
behold, my veins are emptied
galled i stand
show me grace
let me under your skin
