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.
Until next year
My cheeks are wet
My heart is stuck in glue
Has it stopped beating yet ?
Has it realised it's missing you ?
I'm numb yet restless
Nothing feels right right now
I stress in excess
Be my placebo
And I'll wake
Every night, at a certain hour
To regret
All the pleasure I won't get
Without you there
Every waking hour
Every moment we've had
Plays over and over
When I stop dreaming it goes bad
And I'll wake
Every night, at a certain hour
To regret

Catatonic
I'm on holiday
Do you need me ?
I am not coming back
I'm on holiday
Not that I need it
I forgot how to work.
Do you need me ?
Well, I know I need you.
Have you ever wondered
If you make me so happy
When you're not here, how do I do ?
Isn't it normal that my breathing's so funny ?
After all, after all I'm so lazy...
Pure paralized deadweight
I've locked myself in
I want to fail so bad !
Let me sink, let me forget
Curl up, and never speak again
Let me fall asleep
Let me stay catatonic !

Too Early ?
Sometimes I feel broken
Any of your words would feel perfect
That's how hard I've fallen
Can I say I want you with me all the time
Or is it too scary ?
Can I ask to be yours, and you to be mine
Or is it too early ?
I don't feel right
I'm all devotion, that's my secret
But can I tell you that
Shouldn't I be more of a hunt ?
My heart beats fast, but not like back then
When you made me feel so loved
I forgot that this is pain
Can I say waking up without you isn't quite worth it
Or is it too...

the Land of Darkness
It was a dark and cold land indeed
But its people were content
Through the winter you can hear them chant
And smile in bravery they did.
There came from foreign parts a traveller
Who'd seen the Sun in all its glory
His eyes were tired and weary
And upon the dark skies they did water.
Land-hi, land-ho
Let us not be changed
By those who do not know...
The villagers were awed by his tales indeed
Of warmth and golden fields
For foreign dreams he planted the seeds
And dream in the long night they did.

Hey little devil
Hey little devil
What are you doing upon my lover's shoulder ?
What are you whispering, is it a riddle ?
Where have I seen you before ?
Hey little red man
It's funny how you snicker
My lover is looking somewhat fiddlier.
Where have I seen you before ?
Hey there temptation
When I listen to your laughter
It makes me think words I hadn't thought of ever
Where have I seen you before ?
Hey little sadist
Stop that seductive chatter,
My lover wants more fun and much more danger
Where have I seen you before ?

Lovemaking
You know the night is cold
You know it's unforgiving
You know this time you'll be bold
We'll be crowned Queen and King.
I never do as I am told
And you know that's a sin
Tonight if the night is cold
We'll be crowned Queen and King.
Queen and King.
Be my King, my drag-Queen.
Stop
Stop fucking me, don't fuck with me
Stop
Make love to me, make love to me
Stop
Stop fucking me, don't fuck with me
Stop
Make love to me, love

Sleeping Dead
Are you dreaming about me
Or about my red shoes ?
Have you realized, in your envy
What you gain, someone will lose ?
I am a dead dreamer
There's poison in my sleep
I'm reborn in the nightmare
Of a mad Genesis !
I yell at you, I threaten you,
I'm so bored, honey I miss you !
Stuck in a dry Eden
Tell me all their secrets
The hanging gardens have fallen
Their call-boys under arrest
I am a dead dreamer

a Thousand Clouds Apart
It wasn't right
That I hadn't met you.
Your warmth, your kisses,
I knew I needed that light
But I couldn't have known I needed you.
We speak the same tongue
One of touch and signs on skin
One of moans and sighs
When nothing goes wrong
But my words still give in.
My heart is melting through my left eye
We're beating, we're beating, a thousand clouds apart
There might be storms ahead, coming our way,
Or it might be bright instead, tomorow if not today !
Your face and your voice are everywhere

Servile
I feel servile
There's a seed in my soul that's vile
Wherever there is trouble
Lust will come and make it triple.
I feel servile
Like I might go rabid if I don't go wild
A peak of frustration,
My ex-friend
My best friend
My special friend
Is my dedication stronger
Than my fucking desire ?
I'm a weak whacko !
I'm all alone
I'm all alone and it's my fault
I listen to no lesson I'm taught
I'm not as good a friend as I thought...
I feel mad

the Ghost
So pale I blend in the white sky
So light that my tears fall upwards
Our love now rests in a lost tomb.
Has my thought left you already,
On the day you stop visiting me
Will you send me chrysanthemums ?
I'm a ghost, you can't see me
Soon I will cease to exist
I'm a ghost, you can't see me
Soon I will cease to resist
For a war on the screen
It seems you're forgetting
And is my vision fading too ?
Because I can't see you smile to me
I can't see you care about me
Is that what friends are supposed to do ?...

No Pasaran
They hung us pretty low
They put us pretty down
We won't, no, we won't go
We'll stay stuck in this town.
We stumbled, fell and failed
They said we shall not pass
The preachers, the deskmen,
Our conscience, and the army at last.
No Pasaran, no pasaran
Off just flew the last plane to Japan !
X-ray me that and see what is inside,
Do you have the guts, girl
Maybe fight, or maybe hide
You might end up at the other end of the world
We've read the rules, done it all
Denied...

Up and Down
Up and down
What goes away has to come around
My chest
Feels so tight, I think breathing would be best.
Turn it off,
Then back on
Tonight my good side has withdrawn.
« Have you cried today ? » but the question isn't right
My eyes don't wet when my reason falls apart
With ten fingers I don't know what to do
With one whole brain I want nothing but to beg you.
Up and down
Take everything from me if you want
My ears
My faith, my pride, love, hair, or just images.
Weigh the pros
Weigh the cons
