POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I breathe in words and exhale worlds,finding joy in the rhythm of thoughts uncurled.I don’t just write—I ignite,giving voices a stage and shadows their light.Every poet, every writer,every soul with a story to tell—I’m here to lift them,
BODY BAG
There´s a body bag on the street
Toys around are totally broken
I can recognize the head and feet
Even the zipper is partly open
There´s no winner in this game
Each round will end up sadly
Not even tombstones stating names
And the innocent hurt most badly
I see a body bag in the sea
Waves are mild so it´s not sinking
It starts heading straight towards me
Who´s the next one, I keep thinking
Toys around are totally broken
I can recognize the head and feet
Even the zipper is partly open
There´s no winner in this game
Each round will end up sadly
Not even tombstones stating names
And the innocent hurt most badly
I see a body bag in the sea
Waves are mild so it´s not sinking
It starts heading straight towards me
Who´s the next one, I keep thinking

LONELY ME
Hey lonely star !
I can see you roaming in the darkness.
I'm lonely here on earth just as much as you are above me..
Maybe if I cry loud enough you will hear me.
I'm lonely..
I'm so lonely..
Maybe this is my destiny.
The Lord decided my fate to be this way.
Loneliness inside me is now at the last stop.
It has come to an end..
I tasted love and learned it.
Each heart I've entered left me with a deep mark.
Right now my heart is singing for you.
Hear out my song dear star !
Come and take me away.
I'm lonely..
I'm so lonely !
I can see you roaming in the darkness.
I'm lonely here on earth just as much as you are above me..
Maybe if I cry loud enough you will hear me.
I'm lonely..
I'm so lonely..

Come and take me away.
I'm lonely..
I'm so lonely !

Falling Tears
Speak to me, I am here
Standing at your grave
Near the water, in the shade
With my falling tears
I have missed your glowing eyes
And your luminous hair
The sound of your voice at night
All the mischief you dared
I brought you a lily, and a rose
To remember my sullen heart
In the eternal realms beyond
Where your spirit calls home
My fingers trace your gilded stone
Fashioned with a florid bouquet
Tulips and daisies wrapped in lace
And all that remains of my soul
Standing at your grave
Near the water, in the shade
With my falling tears
I have missed your glowing eyes
And your luminous hair
The sound of your voice at night
All the mischief you dared
I brought you a lily, and a rose
To remember my sullen heart
In the eternal realms beyond
Where your spirit calls home
My fingers trace your gilded stone
Fashioned with a florid bouquet
Tulips and daisies wrapped in lace
And all that remains of my soul

The Crying Father
Lord, I abandon my children
Left them when they were young
I broke their hearts
and gave them broken bones
Out of misfortune
I lost my job
My another woman left me
When I was broke
Now , I am homeless
I am old and ailing
I lost my home
Worst ,
I lost all those who loves me
I do not want to beg for money
I want to beg for your forgiveness
I pray that my children will forgive me too
For leaving them when they were like
Sponge ,weightless
I suffered thousands
of sleepless nights
My conscience haunts me
My dark...

RESURRECTION
Sounds of disintegration
Shattering silence
Manifest in songs
Of dying swans
Within abandoned graves
Bodies of dreams
In sacred death alliance
Await to be reborn
Night is raining
Feathers of a blackbird
Ruby redness
Resurrects in withered rose
Eyes caress
Beautiful sadness
Of a lonely deer
In mists of distant coast
Aurora riding ecstasy
Upon demonic unicorn
Dissolves
The ghosts of fear
And holdes infinity
Of endless universe
Inside a single
Salty tear
Never alone
Forever alone
Darkness...
Shattering silence
Manifest in songs
Of dying swans
Within abandoned graves
Bodies of dreams
In sacred death alliance
Await to be reborn
Night is raining
Feathers of a blackbird
Ruby redness
Resurrects in withered rose
Eyes caress
Beautiful sadness
Of a lonely deer
In mists of distant coast
Aurora riding ecstasy
Upon demonic unicorn
Dissolves
The ghosts of fear
And holdes infinity
Of endless universe
Inside a single
Salty tear
Never alone
Forever alone

The Exception...
Your words contained a poison…
Laced with pure insanity…
They circled around in my head…
Destroying all that’s left of my vanity…
Like weapons of mass destruction…
Each word so carefully aimed…
Leaving me broke and beaten…
At the very mention of your name…
As you used to be an exception…
But over time you became a regret…
A sadness infecting my sunshine…
That was impossible to forget…
The rainbow’s black outer edge…
And the flowers fallen petal…
The whisper in the darkness…
Like rust that attacks the metal…
Because when rules are...

Caterpillars
Caterpillars of your mind,
Nibbling at bad metaphors,
Before turning into butterflies
Of delusion.
Eyes and teeth hurting,
Like there's someone new
Back there, poking around,
Going to come through,
Going to say something
That will give you both away.
Caterpillars of your mind;
Furry accordions on slow
Thought-journeys across
The leaves and branches
Of experience,
Quietly hoping to not get
Eaten by giant birds.

The Moon Invited Us In
And the moon invited us in
Still shadows are cast in the dead of night
And the glare of wisdom, enlighten those with sight
And the moon invited us in
As lovers entwined in perceptive sin
Not all life sleeps, when the sun goes down
Not all petals fold, under the night queens crown
And the moon invited us in
Nocturnal survival of the nighttime din
A call on the wind, a cat on the prowl
A fox playing slyly, as guard dog growls
And the moon invited us in
As predators seek food with the wights and the Jin
Screeches on the night, the beat of wings...
Still shadows are cast in the dead of night

RIDING A DYING DONKEY
Like a promise of a junkie
Shot down in golden flames
When you ride a dying donkey
You´ll always miss the train
Distance killed the headlights
Now everything´s unclear
The darkest edge of twilight
Just did not disappear
Wouldn´t say it´s safer
By any rules or laws
To lick syrup from the sabre
Than honey from the sword
It´s like a soup so chunky
With far too many chefs
Get off your dying donkey
And leave the town instead

THE LOVE I NEVER HAD
There in his arms
was the woman
I could never
call my own.
I had loved her with all I had,
but all I had wasn't enough
to win her heart.
I had loved her for all she was,
but all she was, was only meant
for someone else.
There in her heart
was the spot I
could never take
for there he was,
the man I could
only wish I'd be.
She's my first love,
my first heartbreak,
the first poem I wrote,
the song that never
did I dare to sing.
She's a dream that never came true,
the one that I have never stopped
wishing...

PROSTITUTE WITH LOVE
The corner is where she stood on many cold night.
Her body was always ready and always on sale every night.
Hers is truly a story that is far from easy to tell.
It truly is a sad tale of a mother that only meant well.
Her love for her child was sincere and it is true that for it she walked through fires of hell. Her body was for sale for many different prices on many different nights. But always for free to crooked cops just so that she could avoid cold nights in jail cells.
Even when it felt wrong she still prayed that her body did not fail before she had...

THIS KIND OF A WOMEN
I'm a woman with good making love skills.
I won't just lay in the bed like a brainless sheep.
I'm full of life,energy you'll feel the warmth of my body
through my soft skin with every little touch.
I will petrify you.
I wont just tire your mind with sex games I'll drive you entirely
crazy.
I want you to feel me as I lay beside you...Feel my heart
that's beating for you understand my soul.
You should know that without love..I would never enter that
bed with you.
I am a true woman with all the features.
I'm not the cheap appetizers of nylon love....
