power
staring at a blank page in my mind
there are so many things I crave to say
so many ways I need to take
there are words in my soul.
words in my soul, and they're screaming their road
every moment has built up this tension in my fingertips
like there is a power in my typing hands that I could knock the whole world down with
there is music in my ears.
music in my ears, and wo...

boundaries
i think you’re the one
i’d see in another life
past universes and constellations
our love escapes boundaries of time and life and space and earth and mortal rules
from oceans to raindrops,
huge rays of sun to tiny sprinkles in shadows
your face in the glassy waters and clear windows
your name whispered in every sweep of the wind
dance with me, my love
ontop of the stars ...

the wave
The Wave is what i call her.
she comes and goes, sometimes not appearing for days or weeks or even months
and then i miss her terribly
she knows when i need her, when my heart needs a rest
she greets me,
full and strong and deep
she knows me, she knows my heart.
so i give her control, and she washes over me
i surf her, swim in her truth, drown in the cool
she whispers me...

who would have known?
a thirst to write
who would have known?
she held me in her arms, dear mother
did she think, this one’s going to be a poet ?
did she know?
who would have known?
only fourteen
but i love to write out scenes
manipulate words, twist them to match my feelings
ask them kindly, search them for answers
for they are my friends, sometimes my only
who would have known?
my ...

midnight-blue eyes
midnight-blue eyes, i stare at them now
though at first sight one would think them to be the color of coal,
unless you stared at them long enough, in which case you would see the bit of soul
in his eyes, blue and shimmering and full of love
and it wasnt a surprise he wore his heart on his sleeve,
because if you looked closely enough, you would see it not only worn on his sleeve

hide and seek
emotions playing a game of hide and seek
though the game wears on, week after week
what excellent hiders they are
not to be found, even as i yell,
"i give up!", "help?"
searched under the covers of my heart
behind the closed doors of the dark rooms in my mind
dusty spaces underneath the bed of my brain
where could they be?
did they leave?
what a shame!
we were in ...

floating
naked body, naked heart
tucked knees in chest, like i was trying to protect
myself, because no one else would protect me
bare arms around bare legs
because all i needed then was a hug,
but all i had was myself
searing hot on my skin, droplets sliding down my back
and splattering on the bathtub floor
i turned it as hot as it could go,
because i needed something, anything

if my heart were a well
if my heart were a well,
it would be deep.
during the day i would go about my life
but when it would turned dark, trying to sleep
i‘d sit by the well
staring up at the lights strung up on the ceiling you call the night sky
and i would grow aware,
aware of the hollowness
and suddenly i would thirst for a cool drink
my throat becoming itchy, i’d try to fill the well
stu...

terrified
my mind is a maze
a dark labyrinth
a closed trap
my thoughts run around like scared mice
they’re squeaking and scampering
and running around in a craze
delusional, one might say
loud and quiet and fast
they’re mad and shy and cry
but only because they’re terrified
they just want to be saved, to be heard
but my mouth doesn’t open
doesn’t say a word
it’s weak a...
