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.

Juneau
I waked in a world with not a gush of wind
And I look at them all, always, always so disciplined
Words I can't spill out, fear is such a strain
When my blue blood yearns pain...
I want, and I long,
I relish in my wrong,
I lust by instinct,
Fantasy, reality, much too indistinct
So I'll fly over the ice, to cool the volcano
And spend another night in Juneau.
Tell me that I'm loved, I mustn't believe you
For I'd break and scatter if it should be untrue ;
Let your arms carve in me the words I cannot hear,...
And I look at them all, always, always so disciplined
Words I can't spill out, fear is such a strain
When my blue blood yearns pain...
I want, and I long,
I relish in my wrong,
I lust by instinct,
Fantasy, reality, much too indistinct
So I'll fly over the ice, to cool the volcano
And spend another night in Juneau.
Tell me that I'm loved, I mustn't believe you
For I'd break and scatter if it should be untrue ;
Let your arms carve in me the words I cannot hear,...

White ink & Black paper
White ink on black paper,
For all the times you don't want to remember,
You didn't think it couldn't last forever
'Till it was too late all along.
White ink on black paper,
It kills you slow and tender,
You feel that single thought linger :
The problem's yours, and yours all alone...
Don't take me away
Whenever you go,
You always hide what I always
Wanted to know !
What you write in white ink
No one'll read,
What you hide in a wink
Now safe from being freed.
White ink on...
For all the times you don't want to remember,
You didn't think it couldn't last forever
'Till it was too late all along.

The problem's yours, and yours all alone...
Don't take me away
Whenever you go,
You always hide what I always
Wanted to know !
What you write in white ink
No one'll read,
What you hide in a wink
Now safe from being freed.
White ink on...

Bites
Taste you sadness
Take a mouthful
Sins are pointless
If they're not cruel
I'm locked in here for the day
And I notice this red dot
That appears where a tooth stays
When I think I amount to naught
Circles like bubbles
And bubbles like a dream
Since the only place free of betrayals
Is my bed's slumberous realm
And maybe I'm just tired
Tired of not being real
But you know if I get riled
Those might just take more time to heal
Hold me down or I will try worse
Hold me down or maybe I'll burst
...

Lost Key
Doors, everywhere
Locked, I'm left to stare
They told me what to do,
And taught me what is true,
But now I've lost my way.
Only one direction,
Don't think things can be fun,
Now I can't see the walls
All paths end in holes.
Yes, now I've lost my way.
I walked without a care,
But I don't want just anywhere
Destruction on my mind
I've
lost
my
way
indeed.
I'd stay up late at night, write empty words
I'd pray for hope, as if it dripped off the...

Freak
Flat out lovely
I'm a gentle maniac
Drawing the edge of my mind.
Live and love insanely,
There's no fun in the main track.
Suicidal borderline !
The letters are all drunk
There's no one here for me !
Darken it in a funk
I'm flying far too high !
I'm bored out of my mind,
There's nothing here that's free !
I could be dumb and blind
And still fall up into the sky !
Flat-out creepy
There's a limit I can't sense,
Please don't try, please do try
Please don't try to push me,...
I'm a gentle maniac
Drawing the edge of my mind.
Live and love insanely,
There's no fun in the main track.
Suicidal borderline !

There's no one here for me !
Darken it in a funk
I'm flying far too high !
I'm bored out of my mind,
There's nothing here that's free !
I could be dumb and blind
And still fall up into the sky !
Flat-out creepy
There's a limit I can't sense,
Please don't try, please do try
Please don't try to push me,...

No I'm not
I'm not in love, I'm not in love !
I just crave you like poison
No I'm not in love, not with you !
I just can't see anyone else to the horizon.
I don't have lust, I don't have lust !
But your skin is soft as embers
No I don't lust, not after you !
I'll just dream of scorned everafters.
Let's take a walk from ancient times
And I'll secretely call you mine...
I'm not a fool, I'm not a fool !
I know I'd set it all aflame
Not I'm not fooled, even by you !
I would cling and burn out of shame.
My heart is...
I just crave you like poison
No I'm not in love, not with you !
I just can't see anyone else to the horizon.
I don't have lust, I don't have lust !
But your skin is soft as embers
No I don't lust, not after you !
I'll just dream of scorned everafters.

Two of me
Tears in the sun will dry,
Will vanish or disguise,
And hate – they don't know how...
I once was made of tears
But I know that girl no one hears
Turned into a ghost for now...
Half what I'll use to be,
Now I might understand...
I want to sail the sea
'Cause I trip on dry land...
I want you to see the world divide
I want to hear your smile...
And maybe for you
I'd wear my old face
Just to find my embrace
But I forgot we're two...
If I could remember...
Hear this girl we once...
Will vanish or disguise,
And hate – they don't know how...
I once was made of tears
But I know that girl no one hears
Turned into a ghost for now...
Half what I'll use to be,
Now I might understand...
I want to sail the sea
'Cause I trip on dry land...
I want you to see the world divide
I want to hear your smile...
And maybe for you
I'd wear my old face
Just to find my embrace
But I forgot we're two...
If I could remember...
Hear this girl we once...

Unleashed
My man is slowing down
Towards the end of our slope track.
« Where do we go now ? »
I shiver in his ear.
Nothing's like that fear,
Unless you mend the crack...
Like a bad dream awoken
I weave us another fiction,
Scared in the mist darkened
Let him hang on...
Point my wrongs
And make me walk ;
Make me speak in tongues
And unleash mine, and let me talk...
I just can't have any lover,
I can't stand freedom anymore.
Overwhelming pain......
Towards the end of our slope track.
« Where do we go now ? »
I shiver in his ear.
Nothing's like that fear,
Unless you mend the crack...
Like a bad dream awoken
I weave us another fiction,
Scared in the mist darkened
Let him hang on...
Point my wrongs
And make me walk ;
Make me speak in tongues
And unleash mine, and let me talk...
I just can't have any lover,
I can't stand freedom anymore.
Overwhelming pain......

Like a boy
I'm a-putting on some pants,
I want them low on my waist ;
If I'm wearing something gray,
Color it up anyday ;
My belt is the best necklace,
I'll take leather over lace,
And dress up like a boy should,
Dress up like a boy should.
My hips swing, do you like it ?
I will hide-and-seek my tits ;
No make-up, my fangs are raw,
Not sure if I'm what you saw...
I think pink's kinda ugly,
Rainbow's all there is for me,
And walking like a boy would,
Walking like a boy would.
I'm so divine
Can't you see me ?
I...
I want them low on my waist ;
If I'm wearing something gray,
Color it up anyday ;
My belt is the best necklace,
I'll take leather over lace,

Retro Café
Meet you somewhere about there
In a flash of cool memories.
A song on the juke-box – to be fair
In my stomach I feel fairies.
In going back when we first met
I would howl like a newborn.
When I was so afraid my heart got wet,
You were my shield, I still don't have a sword.
My heart takes me there, but my feet are numb...
How can I, how could you, ever be so dumb ?
Please tell me my mind isn't flawed,
Please tell me how to store it all !
Please show me I still have no soul !
And all the lights, the cold drinks and that hot girl...
In a flash of cool memories.
A song on the juke-box – to be fair
In my stomach I feel fairies.
In going back when we first met
I would howl like a newborn.
When I was so afraid my heart got wet,
You were my shield, I still don't have a sword.
My heart takes me there, but my feet are numb...
How can I, how could you, ever be so dumb ?
Please tell me my mind isn't flawed,
Please tell me how to store it all !
Please show me I still have no soul !
And all the lights, the cold drinks and that hot girl...

Genders 3.0
Who am I, Why am I
So, just so dissatisfied ?
Men or women,
Why'd want to fit ?
It's one and the same
Once we're thrown down the pit.
Please give me no attention,
Don't try to change how I'm human...
My eyes are black,
My heart is pink and blue.
But there are violets on the rack,
I'll pick the worse to offer you.
Please give me no attention,

I can shine at night
But in broad daylight

Dreams of endlessness
Give me love for a song,
A melody sharp as a blade,
So I can dream all winter long
And dream until I fade...
Afraid of flying, afraid of falling,
But even more of oblivion ;
It's the same verse that they sing,
But I never sing along...
In my head an endless fight,
Madmen hold me in holy palms,
Kids holding knives cannot be right,
I've got to rise over the foam !
I will keep flying, maybe I'm falling,
Maybe I'm lost in oblivion ;
It's the same verse that they sing,
But I always...
A melody sharp as a blade,
So I can dream all winter long
And dream until I fade...
Afraid of flying, afraid of falling,
But even more of oblivion ;
It's the same verse that they sing,
But I never sing along...
In my head an endless fight,
Madmen hold me in holy palms,
Kids holding knives cannot be right,
I've got to rise over the foam !
I will keep flying, maybe I'm falling,
Maybe I'm lost in oblivion ;
It's the same verse that they sing,
