POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I mainly draw, but there are things and feelings that just can't be captured visually, and that's why I started writing... Mostly I try to explore the landscape of my mind, the subtleties of my emotions, and how I look at things.

San
You've always been there
I've always known you
You were the first one
I'm your number two.
We've been children, and teenagers
And all this time we've been together
Silently, I made a vow
To always need you,
To always be true, through our highs and falls.
You were the wild one
Barefoot huntress shooting her bow.
Do you remember the mole burials
And the rise and fall of the potatoes ?
We've been wizards, and treasure hunters,
A whole army, and TV announcers.
I can be a punk, you can lead a wolf pack, ...
I've always known you
You were the first one
I'm your number two.
We've been children, and teenagers
And all this time we've been together
Silently, I made a vow
To always need you,
To always be true, through our highs and falls.
You were the wild one
Barefoot huntress shooting her bow.
Do you remember the mole burials
And the rise and fall of the potatoes ?
We've been wizards, and treasure hunters,
A whole army, and TV announcers.

One day
Friends come and go
Here, at the other end of the world
I'm all alone
In my 6m² castle
Don't wanna watch TV
Don't wanna fall in love again
My idols are old already
And already married or dead
I feel all their eyes on me still
Like I'm too exotic to be real
One day I'll hit the ground again
And maybe then I'll be human
I feel that old chill, what're you up to ?
Are you real when I don't talk to you ?
One day I'll come to you, my friend
And maybe one day I'll live again
Am...

Fairytale
My feelings hurt
My body hurts
My memories hurt
An obscene ache
Only in my dreams do I find relief
I want to sleep forever like Snow-White
A kiss of you will make me breathe
Because
My future hurts
My wishes hurt
Waking up hurts
With an obscene ache
Tugging, pushing, have I lost my mind yet ?
I am a feral beast, not worth a tamer
Wild, desperate, straight-jacketed
I call
My silence hurts
My freedom hurts
Screaming your name hurts
With an obscene ache
Like a landslide, you fill me
Like...
My body hurts
My memories hurt
An obscene ache
Only in my dreams do I find relief
I want to sleep forever like Snow-White
A kiss of you will make me breathe
Because
My future hurts
My wishes hurt
Waking up hurts
With an obscene ache
Tugging, pushing, have I lost my mind yet ?
I am a feral beast, not worth a tamer

Toygirl Mindset
Oh no you threw me on the floor again
Don't you want to play with me anymore ?
Oh no you say I'm no good surprise
Your toygirl smiles even when she cries
I'm eager to please
Rub your back, get on my knees
Love is preset
I can be used, cherished, abused
I'm yours as long as you're amused
Toygirl mindset
Oh no you tore my dress again
And you're poking me, you're exploring me
You're not even yet a man
But you want to see what a girl's like underneath
I am the queen of a hundred adventures...
Don't you want to play with me anymore ?
Oh no you say I'm no good surprise
Your toygirl smiles even when she cries
I'm eager to please
Rub your back, get on my knees
Love is preset

I'm yours as long as you're amused
Toygirl mindset
Oh no you tore my dress again

Weak-hearted
They might find her tomorow
I'm told they have the tinest nanotechnology
They'll search left, right, and high, and low
For transparent little me
Coroners might conclude she was weak-hearted
She must have been to fall for a shady guy like me.
Her bubbliness made me heavy-headed
I told her of my world, my dreams and a fantasy
And the more I drink, the more I'm sober,
The more I drink, the more I'm sober...
She said I made her physically ill
Oh, should I move away, Princess ?
You neither aren't worth a pill...
I'm told they have the tinest nanotechnology
They'll search left, right, and high, and low
For transparent little me
Coroners might conclude she was weak-hearted
She must have been to fall for a shady guy like me.
Her bubbliness made me heavy-headed
I told her of my world, my dreams and a fantasy
And the more I drink, the more I'm sober,

The Song of Autumn
Melly Maillard had many children
In her house alone, she counted seven
She had three sons and three daughters
God forbid they see the water
She had three sons and three daughters.
When the rain poured they gathered a bunch
Of leaves and burned them on a hunch
The river chanted, Father won't be home
The autumn leaves have always danced alone
We have cowered in fear since this day
To dust turned the fields of poppies and wild hay
Wherever you be, whoever you are
Don't be the forgotten child of Melly Maillard.

Aren't you here ?
You're here
You're here
You're here I know it alright
I saw it
I saw it, I see it every night
Yes, my eyes were closed
But I'm not crazy yet
I sense you're close
I just know it.
Why do you doubt me ?
Who could doubt that I'm yours ?
I'll burn our love's sweet words
On my skin for all to see
I'll turn back time,
I'll turn back time
I can turn back to get what's ours
Everywhere looks the same
Everyone looks the same
So why are you so far ?
Counterclockwise eight turns
Is all it would take
You say I'm...
You're here
You're here I know it alright
I saw it

Yes, my eyes were closed

Who I Am
Do you think you see me
Do you know who I am truly
I am the little one
That girl who's barely even there
The one who drags behind
Eyes always hanging in mid-air.
Don't burden me too much
I'm weak and fragile as a twig
Flinching at the lightest touch
When then would I want to act so big ?
Do you think you see me
Do you know who I am truly
I am the youngest one
The forever early genius
The one who's not always great fun
But gets your homework an A+.

Hunger
No more of that please
I'm okay
Yes it's what my body needs
Don't worry
I'm not hungry
Not a call from my body
I don't live by your hours
Your timetable versus my inner fire
Don't worry
I'll eat, only later.
I won't touch the ground
Never again
My dreams look at the sky
Try to catch me
I'm just not heavy
My stride doesn't reach the street
Sometimes I stop and wonder
How to keep my inner fire
Don't worry
My steps are only lighter.
I'm okay
Yes it's what my body needs

Let's dance
Light up the woodfloor
Fasten the laces
Back to the mirror
And then face to face
My hand, your hand,
Your hand, my waist
I cannot stand
Let's dance, love, let's dance
My feet are all yours
Let's fall into a trance
Let's fall into a trance !
Let them look at us
Be lithe, I will fly
They are but a glimpse
Through the veil of our high
My eyes, your eyes
I'm the hollow part of our stance
Don't mind if I cry
Let's dance, love, let's dance
I'm all part of you
Let's fall into a...

Dirty Lily
Impure, undignified thoughts
With very little respect
Unclassy with much might
Stored in a cosy closet.
Strength is all I admire
Yet I'd let him do as he pleases
And his orders submerge me like a flood
But for all I bow, still this one desire
This white lily wishes
It hadn't been drenched in blood.
Violent, unthinkable thoughts
Struggling not to stay secret
They come up every fortnight
Banging the walls of the closet
If only some things would be simpler
If only I could put out that...
With very little respect
Unclassy with much might
Stored in a cosy closet.
Strength is all I admire
Yet I'd let him do as he pleases
And his orders submerge me like a flood
But for all I bow, still this one desire
This white lily wishes
It hadn't been drenched in blood.
Violent, unthinkable thoughts
Struggling not to stay secret
They come up every fortnight
Banging the walls of the closet
If only some things would be simpler
If only I could put out that...

Pearly sky
Is this pearly sky blue or dark ?
Is it morning or night ?
The mountains on the horizon
Belong to another world.
Palm trees don't grow in Europe
Neither do pearls, in their oysters
In my cocoon, neither do I
But I can't read this pearly sky
What is it I've gotten into ?
I cannot guess a thing
The pearly gates are now open
Is it Heaven or Hell they're leading to ?
This pearly sky is turning clear
For good or ill, I'm drawing near.
Is it morning or night ?
The mountains on the horizon
Belong to another world.
Palm trees don't grow in Europe
Neither do pearls, in their oysters
In my cocoon, neither do I
But I can't read this pearly sky
What is it I've gotten into ?
I cannot guess a thing
The pearly gates are now open
Is it Heaven or Hell they're leading to ?
This pearly sky is turning clear
For good or ill, I'm drawing near.
