Into The Night

The sunken summer sun leaves the day behind.
Its presence still lingers on as the
sky takes on a darker shade of orange.
Soon I will have to say goodbye.
But for now I just hang on to
these last hours with you.
It's always the same routine,
everytime again since so long.
And I wouldn't want to trade it for the world.
As the hour turns late and you gently fall asleep
I savour every moment.
One last kiss and I turn my back,
step in to the dark night.
Every time it swallows me whole
and I enjoy the long way home.
Still under your influence I make
my way through the darkened woods.
With a brilliant star to watch over me.

Cursed The Day

Your thoughts and words still linger in my head.
After two lifetimes and countless hours,
I still carry the weight of my decisions.
It took me a year to understand.
Yet I still feel like I failed us then.
So young and inexperienced,
often acting too rashly.
What else could I do but fall face down?
When I heard you said you
didn't love me as much as you used to.
How could I rise above this
when my heart was too heavy to carry on?
I cried and cursed the day
my star fell from the heavens.
For I had no more guidance
to show me the way
in my starless existence.

Inhumanity Of Man

Divided between the things I know
and the things I know to be right.
To be blind with all facts in front of me.
With glasses and candle so I could read,
yet I'm still somehow refusing to see.
How can we pay for cruelty
when it stares us in the face?
Most of us remain ignorant,
turn a blind eye.
While we consume and savour every moment.
Is this what makes us superior,
intelligent and human?
Or are we just the cruelest beast there is...

Virtuous Patient

Virtuously patient among the sickened and diseased.
An uneasy silence is kept while childrens whisper fill the air.
The chairs moan under the burden of weight.
Everyone secretely stares at eachother
trying not to get caught.
Meaningful boring lecture resides in the room.
Nobody but the curious dare to read any of them.
Patiently I bide my time untill the turn is mine.
Can't quite put my finger on all my symptoms.
Only the pain seems an indication of my disease.
Unfortunately everything in my body aches,
even my beating heart and soul.
Someone comes to pick me up,
takes a look and stops.
He spoke as he turned away:
there is no fix for a broken and beaten heart.

Worlds Collide

I take a look in despair
at the distance between us.
Two worlds apart that no bridge
could ever connect.
From here everything looks like fun and games,
Perfection in every single way.
But I know nothing ever is as it seems.
And though I would want nothing
more than this,
I can't risk to lose it all.
Some promises could never be kept,
so I don't want to lie.
But somehow I keep faith
that some day,
worlds will collide.

Perfect Life

This is where I used to live.
Under a grey veiled sky,
rain softly tumbling from the clouds above.
It's warm and the air is filled
with the scent of the past.
Where we lay together all afternoon,
so close in a world of our own.
All the simple and obtuse things
seemed full of wonder.
Just because I lived them with you.
I felt back then I would never
feel the same without you.
And felt sorrow every time you left.
Afraid of the day when you wouldn't come back.

Never In Vain

I've crossed so many miles,
and lived so many years.
Not always certain of where to go,
or if what I did was right.
I somehow knew that all the pain
and all the strife never was in vain.
Ever since I came to know you,
I never felt I walked alone.
Two sets of footprints
through the desert around us.
And I knew I'd love you,
love me like I love you...
