"spread your eyes across the world," she said,
"and you will find beauty in everything.
now, look deep within yourself,
and tell me what you see..."

miracles

blind

Skriven: 2002-02-22
Språk: engelska
eyelids locked in the
[i'm blind, i'm blind]
position

all in a blurry
rainy day

words of never

Skriven: 2002-03-05
Språk: engelska
details of the wild
screaming madly through
unanswered tales of
the clouds rushing through
lenses of dirty sheets
filthy with
words of never never
never

trusting gray nuances of wonder
as morning dew grows days
through microscopes
finding flaws in
this lottery with no
winners

whisperings promising rain

Skriven: 2002-03-08
Språk: engelska
i breathe the cracks in the wall with ease
inhaling every inch of irregularity
to build it up again

the forgotten ashes of water
laid to rest
on the broken note of your cello

i wanted to hear a different tune
than the whisperings promising rain
following my every step towards life
my barefoot meadows still in the distance

but i'm tired from treading water
the waves slowly measuring my dreams
drowning the vision i had

the spinning eye searches in vain
for the porcelain words dropped
recklessly on the floor
for the cello strings cut in half

i try to glue myself together again
wanting hoping
to be whole

orchestral polaris

Skriven: 2002-03-10
Språk: engelska
the flute
slowly flickering in the wind
like a leaf enticed by fall
echoing through midnight's hollowness
then softly laid to rest on the ground
from dust to dust
under the stars

orchestral polaris
finds solace
where i rest my head
far beyond me

i can't find my way home
it escaped me long ago

but i can still see the star
lingering in celestial visions
carried by the lone flute
laid to rest beneath its beauty

i close my eyes
and cease to exist
for a second

centuries of life

Skriven: 2002-03-26
Språk: engelska
when i first saw the sky
its green leaves
listening carefully to the stories
whispered by the trees

centuries of life
filling me
with peace and quiet

return

Skriven: 2002-04-18
Språk: engelska
brought back to the silver lining
the voices dripping with silence
forming puddles of words on the floor
near the entrance

a step back
and another view
golden daylight
shimmers with smiles

i pick them up
- the words -
and paint them on the canvas

now

i am silence in another skin

insight

Skriven: 2002-05-02
Språk: engelska
thoughts rushing intensely
through my vision
a deep voice mumbling
'magic'
and the divine reality
'magic'
- and time stands still -

and i hear the trees sigh
through the universal body
carefully streching their arms to the sun

then i realize:
i am the voice
i am divine
i am time
i am the universe

and the dream
that is
'magic'

rock carving

Skriven: 2002-05-16
Språk: engelska
i carve myself into the barren rocks by the sea
for the waves to taste my dreams
letting the wind carry me to other worlds
untouched by man

beauty

Skriven: 2002-06-24
Språk: engelska
i follow the leaves back into the branches
the children of the sun and the rain

i am every tree
and every leaf

*

the beauty in existing
barefoot in the myths

clouds in my hands

Skriven: 2002-07-07
Språk: engelska
i once sat down
where the shadows rest
the dying leaves
falling one by one

and the golden reflections of life
crawled lifeless on the ground

i am but a shadow of the past
and visions of the future
an atom among atoms

have you ever seen
a morning of tender sunshine
playing tag with the clouds

i watched life through
a spectrum of raindrops
days dripping faster and
faster down on the ground

~ a continuum ~

now i'm holding the clouds in my hands
and the sun in my eyes
afraid that the shadows will
take me back
to their nest

i'm alive at last

ghost

Skriven: 2002-07-14
Språk: engelska
she sits alone
at the table by the window
writing little letters in boxes

and gray is hovering
over the garden
as the dew
turns the green grass
into puddles of tears

an image of what never has been
and always will be
eyes empty as ghosts
and full as oceans
holding sunsets in their hands
and rain in their hearts

and she sits there
at the table
with eyes filled with age
and a crossword puzzle
where the words
no longer fit

aurora

Skriven: 2002-07-15
Språk: engelska
a face of the sun
shining with colors
of a summer's embrace

with gentle drops of night
falling slowly onto the ground

and the glow of pearls
dripping with wonder
paints the water
with thin strokes of you

silhouette

Skriven: 2002-07-21
Språk: engelska
she came from a summer night
wrapped in cosmic raindrops
sparkling with wisdom

and frames of silence
vanished into light

i heard my name
as sung by fairies
with lily-white voices
floating through my heart

'look'
she said
and the silhouette i saw was mine
dancing in an ocean of flowers
ever so close to life
with eyes shining of gold
and earth

she took my hand and whispered
'this is where we start'

daydream

Skriven: 2002-08-20
Språk: engelska
i daydream through waves of heat
as i see pain become insights
and soft smiles of energy
lift the days to other dimensions

a daydream and
stars travel through me
with pounding hearts
painting an image of home
with its soft nuance of trees

rainbow

Skriven: 2002-08-21
Språk: engelska
a rainbow
surreal in its vision
of the sun

blossoming in fountains of colors
exploding one by one
together
in a crystal dream of living

summer rain

Skriven: 2002-08-27
Språk: engelska
the horizon of light
its fragile clarity
like raindrops
in a summer rain

i turned to the sun
as a painting flew by
like a shade of dreams
before my tired eyes

and the storms cleansing the air
chasing thunder and lightning
across the mountain clouds

and the winds calmed down

and drops of summer
softening the heat
are tears of joy
from heaven

free

shape of the sun

Skriven: 2002-09-10
Språk: engelska
and the sun drips rays of life
on the mountains
until they surrender
to its shape

inside the beautiful
inside the beauty

*

she danced
in shoes of crystal
like a bird
one last time

like flowers on her iris

Skriven: 2002-09-13
Språk: engelska
and she flew
through the mist
watching lives pass by

writing memories like
flowers on her iris

as her eyes lost their power

lately

Skriven: 2002-09-25
Språk: engelska
lately
my words have been
soap bubbles and green grass

and i've seen fairies painting trees
and dew dancing to the rhythm
of morning mist and distant drums
of a sunrise in the woods

a shade before my eyes
a pale portrait of not knowing
of a dream that i try to remember

mother earth

Skriven: 2002-10-03
Språk: engelska
dense
as the dark at midnight
the leaves softening the wind
searching for unity with the ancient
beyond the air and silence
where i wish to live

i've filled my eyes with visions
and silhouettes of love
chasing raindrops and shadows
to the corners of my life
leaving nothing but the present
and winds of tomorrow

like dawn in a mother's eye

infinity is now

an echoing goodbye

Skriven: 2002-10-21
Språk: engelska
cleanse
the summer dust off my soul
the autumn pours me
a heart in a silver cup

i have autumn rain
running through my veins
as the birds' goodbyes
echo in my ears
yellow
orange
brown

and their harmonies rest
by the silvery cold moon
as the colors fade to winter

until the next awakening

oceans that we share

Skriven: 2002-11-17
Språk: engelska
i ran through the brick wall
and the little white dots
in the starless night
and the miracles i never expected

i write about the dreams in between us
and the oceans that we share

the scent of incense in my heart
rises to dreamtime stories
through mist and every day wonders

and the dreams burn a hole in reality
creates a passage to life
and the beauty in all

a second of summer

Skriven: 2002-12-19
Språk: engelska
insignificance

and the hypnotic illusion of water
shines its purple winter on life

december in its bud
and in the blink of an eye
life's below zero

and every dream of summer is
a second of starshine and hills
and ancient life in a mere
whisper of belonging
