Roads

I'm chasing Gods while chased by Death,
Painting my road so careless,
A desert takes away my breath,
And makes me very anxious.

I've seen your road, ivory white,
Maya blue clouds, deceiving -
My eyes, - your picture's a delight,
In light and shades, so teasing.

The flowers silver, ice blue, teal,
Enchant my wasteland vision.
I know I'm not allowed to feel -
so much for just a fiction.

The lake, liquid, electric blue,
I'm tense and feel so captive,
'Cause I have lost my road for you,
The blue was too deceptive.

Distance

The distance to a soul, unknown,

The distance hiding beneath eyes.

A touch away, but ever so,

A touch that only lies.

And would I ever dare to walk,

The distance to a soul, unknown,

I'd seek a bridge, and ever so,

Walk up, up, up... and down.

But as my eyes are made of stone,

And all my dreams of icey nights,

The distance to a soul, unknown,

Are letters mere, a poet writes.

And I could write and write and write,

Chasing old shadows, all alone,

Yet never walking, sadly quite,

The distance to a soul, unknown.

Temptation of the Odd

... that winter night faded to glitter,

The snowflakes white, times sweet, times bitter...

On my empty, frozen eye.

I tried to sleep and dream and lie

In endless fluff – In vain I try.

I’d love to, but I cannot wither...

...and still I fall, in deep blue oceans,

where Up and Down are empty notions...

And where the coldness lies.

I thought I could be touching skies

But clouds, like truth, are made of lies,

And filled with void emotions...

...this winter night, it starts again,

The snowflakes land upon my pen...

They must be very shy.

I hope to keep my pages dry,

Yet snowflakes fade, snowflakes deny.

There is no Why, no When.

Illusions of A Too Lost Self

...

I am a wave, of darkness, sorrow.

I am a particle, so hollow

I am the nightmare of a dream

I'm always somewhere in between.

I am a universe of light

I am the essence of the night.

I am a circle, white and black,

I am the serpent, ‘round your neck.

I am an angel with dark eyes,

I am a demon. I'm a dice.

I am the ocean of your mind,

I am the sky, in front, behind,

As ice am I, so frozen, cold.

I am the flames you strive to hold.

I am the passion, so euphoric

And I’m indifference of a cleric.

I'm heaven with hell's flames included

I'm love, I'm hate, so perfect tainted

I am a question, spiral blue.

I am an answer, even two...

I'm the illusion of the day,

I am reality in grey.

I am the dust of stars in void

I am created and destroyed.

I am the center of it all -

I am the limit, I'm the wall.

I am the rain that tastes like sand.

I'm the beginning, I'm the end.

I am the sunshine, gothic glam-

I am, I am, I am, I am...
