in the days of time travel

i remember a time
when winter of the heart
kept the melting frost at bay
when sparrow of the summer
sang silence every day
when summer ray of sun
a million light years away

time is a comet in full force
bulling his familiar path
in constant fashion

settled compass

how we live with the scars
like a river through a worn landscape
and how we display our crevices
depends on how we reflect the radiance
cast upon our shadow

show me your armour
the thick of the maille
little cracks in the corners
that spin tales of movement
and i'll know the battles
you fought in the valiant of existence

but then
all of us were broken
treading lightly
to not chip the stones
rushing headlong
through the cool spray

but now
the compass needle settled
and the light illumination
just short of blushing flares

you still have to look up
and you still have to look down
to find the path
where you can burn down the thicket
that covered your comfort

how to love forever

how does a smile fade
when the rose is in bloom ?
is it only time that allows
the garden to display true colours ?

the gardener will come and see
question the purity of the fragrance
set the contrast on the colours
feed them the quite living rage

i am allowed to blossom
i am required to fade
i am the wind that rips the petals
i am the wind that carry new life

simple

its all so simple
rain make flowers grow
and i don’t know why
its so easy
the man you turn me into
and i keep asking why

so elementary
so easy to ignore it

stop having complications
there’s only life to live
and love along the way
it takes only seven seconds
to see how easy it is
to throw it all away

so elementary
i see your face before me

arrival II

my summer arrived. happy
she announced herself
with a smiling whisper
and a glint in the eye

floating on a new current
of rouge and shine
the old doubt defeated
his emptiness now void

my sails now taught
like the buddha belly
gleaming in its laugh
revelling in its nirvana

and arrived we have
swam to shore while learning
what it is to drown
what it is to live

a little smiling picture
etched upon my life
the lost of the fray
returned with the morning light

the future is a dark map undrawn
but on the very next step
it might reveal where
x marks the spot

and within a blink
the future cement
the treasure shared
unto our lives

how to let it rain

you are the next sunrise
when dawn came for me
i sat with my feet up
feeling the breeze
a wind of change has turned
direction to random
to rearrange the dust
the settlement accumulated
in fine quantities
to obscure and hide the haven

the new dawn revealed
it prompted the salt
in the air to cling extra long
urged the corrosion to pit
it self against
the angry clouds reached
with its unseen and feeling arms
with all its might to shield
the new rays from reaching
where i had my feet up

to stop such a force
would be foolish
like children in play
in innocence and learning
i do not have the will
to close the doors have opened
to stop the flood from coming
to end the rain
from loving me
for i am engulfed
in your sunset

love

and the greatest invention
is that for all will find
some in this life
others in the next
looking back

and yet it is blooming
its crimson and black
it smells like the summer
it colours the snow
inhale it freshly
expel as you wish

selfish minders
or selfless finders
you present wrapped
in the way you gave
inhale it freshly
expel as you wish

moment

a brief moment past
so close but not touching soon
like snowflake on tongue

crack in cocoon silk
holding on to let it go
soon flutter-by fly

arrival

my summer arrived. happy
she announced herself
with a smiling whisper
and a glint in the eye

insect vs. cape doctor

the paper king saw...

the flutter on by
out of cocoon silky cell
wind swept colour blur

what you perceive

in any case...
happiness is a rain cloud
dressed as a sunbeam

missing today

today
i miss you without reservation
without fear or doubt
without emotional calm
without guarantee or promises

like a black hole gulping at anything
and everything
search for you
on colourful markings and signposts
mapped, printed and issued to my memories

i reminisce the station
where sanity got off
the same platform where
love got lost with our baggage
there where the sunset was magnificent
through the window of your compartment
where your wine was sweet and
its dryness a comfort

the train left me standing
stripped like a hatchling in winter
warm like a freshly brewed hate
morose in my blind comfort

with fear of returning doubt
and the collapse of the
hole i'm filling up
i miss you
today

choice

behind my back
a guess-the-hand surprise
in one fist a shooting star
the other a milky way
i hold them sweet and to your say
a closed fist you must choose
be in the left
be in the right
the decision in your eyes

say o giver of grace
the world may change
my fist i take ?
the world would have lost its way
if the choice is to never choose !

the falling star may fade away
but hope it brings
those lost in harm's way
the milky way forever stay
beautiful to look at
forever and a day

but when you gaze and see my choice
high in the heavenly cloud
i pray the hope or wonder gaze
would fill your temple with guidance
and your life be praise

so amazing

hold the fire please now hold your tongue
for long i've know now your the only one
God forbid i always told the truth
when we had it all love in our youth

photographs all torn up lost our past
i turn my head these memories i have
you came by to cart your stuff away
a broken heart lost in the move today

and so we lost
something amazing
memories things only we can have
but hey we felt amazing
but all of that is buried
dead at last

there's a million more things i can say
a million more deaths i die each day
maybe one day i will sleep again
maybe one day i can sleep again

snare

i am reason
falling into traps cunningly
laid by adventure's promise
if you cant beat them
you might as well lead them
oh what a beautiful way
to fly

good bye

i can't fight
the feelings tried
when i hide inside my world and time is all i know
life is fine
the days are great
its a funny feeling i get inside cos i know fate
i know fate

take me down
you know best
to where its hard to find the way back from this world we know
sun goes down
blood red sky
the ocean rolls and hide our tears when we
when we cry

i have tried
most my life
to stay on the path that follows to the road i know is right
mistakes do claim
its share of pain
only when we start to measure fear is when we
when we die

good bye is forever

echo

the silence hears me
and it answers back

where ?

before the rain it was all so clear
the path through the woods marked with stone

i wonder through this
i stop wandering
i dont understand
i never will

barefoot trudging on
rocks sha(r)ped by 2 years of erosion

i wander through this
i stop wondering
i can understand
i always have

even through the rain glimmers of surety
the corridor cast in stone and inevitable

i am this
i am this

silent elf

as silent as the fog that leaves the earth
Starálfur invade my dreams...
she's blond and red
and sways like waves
she holds out her palm
with magic seeds collected
from the forest of dreams
inviting to join the sway
prison to bliss i can only wave
from a distance...

sugar ant

ant invade my sugar today
a simple shoo didnt scare them away
for woe is me a panic thought
with battle cry i start onslaught
my morning sweet a bitter pill
or protien feed supplement fill ?

sunstroke

the paper king realized:

sunflower story
the fragile of your yellow
wish on shooting star

lost

i'll draw a bright senseless map
of mysterious wonders under wrap
the bright blue sky patched by cloud
and crooked sign to misty mountain shroud
follow a route of circles twirling round
for then will heart's smile be found

fearless doubt

i seek out doubt in his lonely cave
to have a chat with the old fool
looking back i can see the light
behind his rock blackness rule

its murk and mould
the corpse of fear gone cold
why would you send your demons
to bring men here?
to lose your chance
and trade in fear ?

for at least with fear
hope's a paper king
and courage a knight of ink
and doubt...
just an old fool hiding behind a rock

claims

the paper king thought:

mirror complete me
i have no claim to your heart
mind screams (at) emotions

fate and destiny

i tempted reason to come out behind its door of secrets
and shook a large pointy stick at him
of course this prompted destiny to amend entries listed under my name

cupid was silently crying
his arrows sheathed

dancing in the twilight

the paper king wrote:

sever chains left broken
freedom hangs like butterfly
nothing left to lose
