Poet Introduction
Hej, I just stared to find myself again or back or for the first time. Writing helps me to see, to understand and digest whats happening around me and to me. Writing is no art, writing is to live. So I just try to do that.

Seeking Peace
As your strong arms try to hold me
I glide in the black cold water
As you voice begs me to hold fast
I feel the depth longing for me
As your tears blend with the waves
I form a freezing smile
As your eyes ask so desperately why
I can only answer I have to
As your heart breaks
I fill my lungs with peace
As you let me go
I find it
As you walk away from shore
You find peace too
I glide in the black cold water
As you voice begs me to hold fast
I feel the depth longing for me
As your tears blend with the waves
I form a freezing smile
As your eyes ask so desperately why
I can only answer I have to
As your heart breaks
I fill my lungs with peace
As you let me go
I find it
As you walk away from shore
You find peace too

ivory kiss
Mist embraced the clearing in the forest of the forgotten
Fires like wardens around the darkgreen pond
The cold of the night creeps along the old bushes up up the bony branches
Birds songs from outside quenched by the tears soaked moss
Damp silence fills the space between the old trees
A shimmer a glitter in the water
Like the rays of sun your hair
Floating with the rhythm of my tears
Your ivory skin reflecting the moon light
The clearing glows like our souls did once
Because of me you joined the water fairies
Because I...
Fires like wardens around the darkgreen pond

nothing
Nowhere to go
Came from I don't know where
Nothing left nothing to come
Nothing in my hands
No beginning nothing ends
Nothing left nothing to come
No one with me
All all one my soul tired and sore
No visions no wishes anymore
No space for me in an empty world
Bottomless with a sky too high
No stars to reach no moon to shine
I lost my soul and don't know where
Can't look for it forgot how it was
Nothing left behind
I drift I float all blind
What does it need to stand up again?
What can I do if I can't...
Came from I don't know where

Bottomless with a sky too high
No stars to reach no moon to shine

Cognition
Desire for you
crunching grinding my heart to powder
Protective Iceberg
whining weeping louder and louder
Thoughts of loss
skinned sliced and salted my core
Unconscious cognition
Without you I can not live anymore
crunching grinding my heart to powder
Protective Iceberg
whining weeping louder and louder
Thoughts of loss
skinned sliced and salted my core
Unconscious cognition
Without you I can not live anymore

Run with the unicorns
I was the warden of the last flock of unicorns
Watched them day and night
Found the greenest luscious places for them to feed
I sang and told fairytales - all their to fulfil their needs
Glittering manes glowing under the full moons supervision
Their nostrils peacefully taking the clear dark blue air in and out
Thinking about my past I forgot that this story is not meant for unicorn ears
And I sang about you
About our love which never had a chance.
About the pain which has became a constant companion.
About the longing that eats...

The RED Ribbon
Walking down a wet crowded street
Despite all these people there was no one to meet
Down to my feet I saw somthing fragile and alone
A muddy grey ribbon sticked to a stone
I dipped it in the beer i was drinking
Trying to wash away all the dirt
Like a jellyfish, it was not sinking
I got the feeling someone got hurt
Slowly retrieving its colour again
The ribbon wispers its unfullfilled secret past
Just sadness - no bitter complaint
When dreams vanish and hope becomes past
It was a part of beautiful red satin dress

Snow white was different
Yes, her hair was black, her skin white and her lips red
Yet the hair was colored, the face pale since tired and wine stained lips
She wasn’t the beautiful princess
She wasn’t kind and every once darling
She wasn’t send away
She left the castle in free will
It weren’t seven nice busy little guys
It was people giving her what she asked for: pain, indignity and tears
Poison
It wasn’t the stepmothers comb
It was needles
Constrict
It wasn’t the stepmothers belt
It was self-imposed hunger
Deadly bite
It wasn’t an...

Dream of a vision about a plan
A plan is made by thinking and might result in a product.
A vision is the result of beliving and might change the world.
A dream is born by longings and might turn into a plan or a vision.
A vision is the result of beliving and might change the world.
A dream is born by longings and might turn into a plan or a vision.

Just dry enough to be able to see
Destiny?
Is something we can not change.
Luck?
Is something we can not rely on.
Love?
Is something we have to live.
Sorrow?
Is always a part.
Fear?
A common compagnon.
Tears?
We have to kiss dry. Not away.
Just dry enough to be able to see.
Is something we can not change.
Luck?
Is something we can not rely on.
Love?
Is something we have to live.
Sorrow?

Fear?

We have to kiss dry. Not away.

Pain and dimension free
What if memories never had a life
Or dreams would never come true
And hope remained unborn
Pain and dimension free
You think she would spend the time she has here on this one?
Or buy an other life by paying with tears
What if love worked on-off?
What if good and bad were black and white?
And Yes and No would just be perfectly enough, why do we need maybe?

Appease my hunger, I beg you
Why can I not breath if you are not here
My sight becomes blurry with every minute I wait
The blood in my veins clots with every breath I can not take
My cold sweaty hands paint your name in the snow
Can not swallow the things I want to tell you
Can not tell them neither
Weightless I float with my feet in concrete yen
Kept on the ground by the weight on my chest
This is not love this is hunger for it
I die of thirst for affection from you
Love so deep that is hurts, so titanic and buries my life
Nothing is worth a single...
My sight becomes blurry with every minute I wait
The blood in my veins clots with every breath I can not take
My cold sweaty hands paint your name in the snow
Can not swallow the things I want to tell you
Can not tell them neither
Weightless I float with my feet in concrete yen
Kept on the ground by the weight on my chest
This is not love this is hunger for it
I die of thirst for affection from you
Love so deep that is hurts, so titanic and buries my life
Nothing is worth a single...
