POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Take life as it comes. Happy to be heard.
Epitaph
Here lies the grave of
A person full of sorrow, love and joy
Oft misunderstood,
In moments of shifting,
Sinking sands beneath,
The prisons of the under land,
The never world in between
Of nowhere,
With deep dark dungeons of lonely Solitude,
All in the company of friends
Who came and went,
With a few that really meant.
Let the winter snow fall,
Fall once again, as many tears
Have fallen,
Fallen before as rain.
After autumn leaves had left
Their auburn trail,
My time is over now, way above its...

Sinking sands beneath,

The never world in between

With deep dark dungeons of lonely Solitude,

Who came and went,
With a few that really meant.
Let the winter snow fall,
Fall once again, as many tears
Have fallen,
Fallen before as rain.
After autumn leaves had left
Their auburn trail,
My time is over now, way above its...

Wretched Love
Wretched love,
Emanating from the deepest pits of sorrow,
Showing light to forlorn souls,
A dire need for tomorrow.
Dark temptation,
Drawing one into the pool of desire,
A comfort to embrace,
Ignorance with all its grace.
Keeping us warm from icy winds,
Blizzards which threw us in unexplainable pain,
Residue of life's membrane,
Holding us from all that was insane.
Wretched love,
Rescue us, save us from this game,
Throw us back into the flame,
To be consumed..once again.

Mermaid Tales
Angel eyes looking through the storm,
Gusty winds breaking down the dawn,
Lonely ships crashing 'neath the stars,
Watery graves waiting to devour.
Angel eyes, watching through the seas,
Echoing ocean thunder to the ground,
Will I live and make it through the day,
Angel eyes tell me you will stay.
Guarding us as you're there all around,
Mermaids swimming you can hear the sound,
Bring out beams of sunshine with your songs,
Angel eyes, save me one more time.
Take me to the safety of the shore
Let these...

Video game warrior
Ever since the trap
Opened its flap,
And this world
Showed its map,
I've been wandering all around,
Different levels of play,
Making it to the next,
Or breaking down
From my best.
This video game warrior
Is what I've become,
These moments are my test.
Fighting with the enemies,
With no time to rest.
Obstacles trying to block the paths,
Degrees of freedom on the shafts,
Controlled by the omnipotent,
Playing his game.
I try finding my way,
Reach out for points that will pay,
Balancing the...

Secret garden
A secret garden,
On the isle of fantasy
In the forest of ecstasy,
With forbidden fruit.
Its so inviting,
A life so exciting,
With leaves all surrounding
Creatures beneath.
The forces of nature,
The poison of sin,
With life taking tentacles,
Likes touching the skin.
The powerful feeling,
So sensuous survives,
The secret garden
Makes life so rejoice.
For those far away
From its enchanting beats,
Finding oneself here's
The best retreat.
The time of those moments,
Grows with each...

Moment of time
This moment of time
Has happened before,
The people beside me
Have gone through these doors,
A feeling so strong
Surges right inside,
As if its all happening,
Again here once more.
Everything's familiar,
Just like yesterday,
Am I living moments,
Returning to play,
The stars have aligned
The same way again,
This moment of time,
Is now just the same.
Perhaps we are meeting
Because it was planned,
Our freedom is here now,
And this is our land,
As everything went on,
The pages they turned,

Silent noise
Silent noise,
Penetrating though the dawn of the night,
Making deaf ears hear,
And giving blind eyes sight.
Tearing through my heart,
Going to my soul,
Makes everything different,
Than what all was told.
Minds receiving signals,
Of a different kind,
As I hear the silent noise,
Just like pure white light.
Back to where it started,
Opening up inside,
There'll be time eternal now,
Only quiet bright.
Take me to the heavens,
Do not look behind,
Wings are flapping memories,
As turbulence...

Miracles
The rising sun, floated slowly,
Through the sky and then
Disappeared under the earth.
The twinkling stars came out
Of nowhere and started speaking
With each other as crickets sang their songs.
These Miracles keep happening one by one,
Another one follows as soon as
the first is gone.
People keep coming and going out of sight,
Miracles make everything possible
And things just fall out right.
If we vanish from each others lives one day,
Let these miracles bring us together again,
Life is short, it may never be the same in any...

A waste of time
Has this life really been spent,
Doing things that were'nt meant,
Saying words that one forgets,
Being someone elses pet ?
Has it been a waste of time ?
Making money for the heck,
Waking up, feeling spent,
Making other peoples tents.
What if all of this were gone,
Could happiness, still be found,
Why do birds just leave the ground,
Flying seagulls make their sound,
Maybe it was meant to be,
Something different, for us to see,
One day everyone must die,
Why should we then live a lie.
Still this life must find...

Faces
My mind has wandered somehow
In this place,
Maybe it was somewhere else,
Languishing in some other space.
As consciousness arises,
And I try to get my grip,
I find myself looking at yet another face
In this weary yet wonderous trip.
These faces keep coming and going
Out of my life,
Over years, centuries and races
From different tribes,
They look so familiar,
Some were perhaps soulmates,
Family, friends or foes ,
All these faces are people
Who were met here and now
Gone with yesterday, yet known.

Never knew
Never knew that life
Would turn out to be like this,
Moments flying past,
Some on the dot, some gone amiss,
Happiness would flirt,
Flittering like a butterfly,
In gardens of bliss,
Never knew that life
Would turn out to be like this.
So many turns
Would numb my mind,
After showing movie after movie
That could be seen,
Even as one were blind,
Wrecking hurricanes, hurtling through,
Whirlwinds passing by,
People and things,
Love and all thats kind,
Time offering everything,
Then leaving
With...
