Mr. Wrong

He sent me flying just with a single glance
Meeting him I never stood a fighting chance
I wanted to walk with him on unexplored trails
Setting silence free behind translucent veils

Tall marble statues breathing started to bleed
Dragonflies gave passage but ready to mislead
His eyes mirrored words while exhaling real slow
Speaking of all the things I never meant to know

We danced in circles to a subtle haunting Blues tune
While reality was bathed in the light of a blue moon
Smiling he was transmuting poison into champagne
Rapidly falling we never experienced any restrain

His touch burned like fire and left scars behind
Bound by iron chains all words remained confined
Truth became lies and lies where never spoken
He is Mr. Wrong but the spell was never broken

Drowning

My smile has been declined
The laughter in my world silenced
I feel stone weights around my ankles
And tomorrow seems like a year away

I feel blocks of cement on my shoulder
And waves of muddy water pulling me under
I travel close to walls and windows
And in quiet moments my breathing ceases

I yearn for bodies of crystal clear ice cold water
Waves of surrender shattering my soul into pieces
Pieces that will start new life in a different place
A place where every sunrise will renew my life

I want to dance on the ground of oceans
Embrace the shadows of shipwrecks
Float in the nothingness of currents
Be caressed by wild flocks of sea grass

Lies

Promises are void if given under false pretense
It is like making a bad joke at your own expense
You delivered words that came smooth and easy
While in reality they were worthless and sleazy

Your voice remained steady but delivered lies
I do not know what you gained with your disguise
Was it just your own ego that you were feeding
Or was it control you are after when misleading

You showered me with plans and none were true
I'm glad I did not fall and put you under review
Still I wish you the best and will not hold a grudge
Because you will get what you deserve I judge

It seems pathetic that you needed false schemes
To make you feel more of a man in your dreams
There was no damage done and I let you off fast
After all it is your loss and the test you did not pass

Silence Unbroken

Fragile sounds disturbing my sentence of silence
Like the ink dipped needle of a brand new tattoo
Words that should've been spoken earlier wither
Forgotten and worn out like a used leather shoe

The wrinkles of heavy silk speak softly of tomorrow
While yesterday's thoughts still echo in an empty room
Smoke inhaled deeply burns trails like fire on skin
And I can feel the blood dripping from the moon

The fluorescent lights illuminate the lies of the day
When dark waters crash on abandoned cliffs at night
White paper sail boats sinking within the salty waves
Nothing appears the way it is not even black or white

When dancers embrace the death of a new tune
Listening to the drum of a sledgehammer outside
While the news exaggerating events on brittle paper
I feel hot tears of sorrows - the ones I've never cried

Waiting for a Storm

I have to admit that I love all kinds of bad weather
Right then it seems that nature and I are in sync forever
Listening to howling winds from my room
It feels like evolution is calling right to my womb

I wish I could feel the power of lightening inside of me
The heat could boil my blood to a stormy read sea
I want to experience the power of a tidal wave
I would let it capture me - my arousal to enslave

I often wonder if you would find my heart under layers of ice
To melt all over you - demanding your soul for a price
I want to feel hard hail drumming down on my skin
Commanding me to open up and letting you in

I long to be manipulated by a strong abundant storm
Riding the waves with you - free form
I want to be on fire by a year long drought
So we can be ablaze together until our passion burns out

Dream Of Peace

Soft cotton balls in a room with no doors
Peace for a thriving world without wars
The Benedictine monks offer Gregorian Chants
The absence of fear for tomorrows plans

Promises dismiss the dark night of the soul
Soldiers returning home no longer on patrol
Humanity revisited and races for ever united
Endangered species are commonly sighted

Weapons of destruction no longer needed
Redundant politics forgotten and weeded
Money is no longer in print and out of style
All people are fed and life is worthwhile

Animals treated with respect and love
Abuse is non existent and not heard off
Our planet no longer exploited but free
Clean rivers flow into an abundant sea

Wonderland

Down by the park there is a majestic big willow tree
I tell the little girl on my hand that elves live there free
She giggles in wonder and runs away from my hand
To explore the new mythical creatures from wonderland

We sit down in an ocean of daisies and poppy seeds
And talk about unicorns with white saddles and beads
I tell her of castles and beauties that sleep for years
Of rainbows and wood creatures with fluffy rabbit ears

I teach her to rhyme and make crowns out of clover
We eat sweet little snacks in the grass we roll over
Time just flies by and soon we have to return home
She is humming and smiling in her hair a pink comb

Later on when it's night time I watch her sleeping
Looking down on her I pray for her safekeeping
Today was a beautiful day we spend together
And I hope that she will find happiness forever

Night Time

Distant vague voices waking me up when I sleep
Lightening illuminates my heart diving deep
The vibrations of life are my steady attendant
While a hypnotist claims his share with a pendant

Bathing in oceans under the guard of a silver moon
I'm shaking off the weariness of an inert afternoon
The embraces of long dark shadows are inviting
Dreams not yet dreamed are a threat but exciting

Searching shallow surfaces for intimate destinations
New memories visited give reason for interpretations
Listening to the silence and imitating every tune
Deserts turn to liquid welcoming the rains of monsoon

Primordial rituals of darkness assist in transubstantiation
Blood is running faster betraying the body's revelation
Past struggles become new promises while rapidly expanding
Thrills of the night are powerful without misunderstanding

Waiting for Love

Silence as a definite quantum of infinity
Found in the cold wet icicles of virginity
A heavy burden are the layers of snow
Hiding the longing for heat from below
The surface of waters covered by ice
It's the calling of nature that surely entice

As the sun is all beginning of life and death
Waiting in silence is like catching your last breath
Unspoken thoughts while dancing in the rain
With driving forces of storms claiming new domain
Unsought battles fought with sweat and blood
Remain hidden by shadows like a sleeping bud

Passions undiscovered by exposed deserts ablaze
Arid regions waiting slumbering for rainy days
Silence surrounds vague hopes of nondescript affairs
While wild abundant streams touch our unawares
Fever spreading in slow motion through time and space
Awaiting the beginning of sound and a world to embrace

Poppies

Spread out bright red silky fragile petals
Folded together tightly like sheet metals
Become masses of delicate flesh and blood
Heat is rushing through veins like during a flood
When water is dripping from the petals to the stem
It turns to a silver teardropp like a precious gem

Teardrops collected from a beautiful flower
I let run over your shoulders during night hour
It will form a river of sorrow down your back
Because there is nothing left to seal the pact
In the morning you will forget what took place
And all evidence of our love will be erased

Evidence is the one thing we can't afford to keep
Because what happens here stays here and sleeps
Another time we can awaken our passions again
But for now feelings and words we have to detain
I watch while the taxi is leaving really slow
Passing the meadow where the poppies grow
