In the Eye of the Hurricane

Tossed around and battered,a leaf in the storm of confusion,she finally emerges intothe calm of the vortex.Here she can no longer hearthe enraged shriekingof the winds of agony.She knows that to getthrough to the other sideshe has to venture forthinto the hurricane again.She wonders if she cansurvive another voyagethrough her personal hell,then decides it doesn’t really matter;she’ll just remain…

Medusa

The rain lashes her bodyWith its torrent of raindropsShe stands firmly rootedOn the mountain’s topEven though the angry elementsTry to flatten her to the groundShredding her already tattered clothesBut not even the howling of the stormCan drown out the ragged woman’s voiceAs she screams her defianceShaking her fists toward the skyJagged lightning lacerates the nightShe plants her fists on her…

The Real World

In the true, real world I’m a Soul SingerI travel around to bring peaceAnd harmony to this fair landMine is the power to impart knowledgeAnd to reveal truth But sometimes when the moon is darkI dream that I’m in another worldWhere I’m just one insignificant Person among manyAnd whether I live or dieWon’t make any difference at all In this other, strange worldI must spend most of my waking…

Fall

Frost sets the world on fireEarth Mother curls up to sleepA slumber so deep it resembles death The sun no longer greets me as a friendShe glares coldly at meNo longer embracing me with warmth The faded light of the fall saddens meAnd I begin to loose my faith againHow can I believe when death surrounds me? This season was aptly namedI muse, as I fall from graceWith my wings on fire

Romance can’t grow whenThe ground is frozen overSpring won’t come here soon

Underground

Drops of water hit the ground-Regular and rhythmicSharp sounds echoing hollowly-Like metallic heartbeats Grinding on my nervesIts monotony not quite brokenBy my shuffling feetAs I slowly and painstakinglyFumble forward along a pathDimly illuminated by Shadowy ghost lightsSometimes I think I hear whisperingFrom branching entrances as I pass-Soft breezes of unintelligible wordsSmall, cold reptiles…

Cat's Chant

Standing on the cliff edgeDancing in the shadowsHowling in the darknessForgetting the tomorrows Swaying to the drum beatRunning from the sharp painLaughing in my madnessSinging in the black rain Flowing with the passionDenying any sorrowsLiving for the night timeTake the hurt that follows

First Love

I was eight years oldand in second grade.He was nine years oldand in third grade.I noticed him firstduring recess.He was very handsomewith dark brown hairand a slim body.I found out that hisname was Egil.I was far too shyto approach him,I was content withadmiring him at a distance.One day there wasa photo of him inthe local newspaper:he had won a race.So, he was an athlete.I liked that, not…

The Rose

The gardener planted a seed in her gardenExpecting it to grow up and beA pretty, pastel pink roseInstead she watched in growing confusionThe strange, wild thingThat pushed through the earthInto the light… It was a rose, but it was blackWith wickedly long and sharp thornsAnd petals like razor bladesIt looked defiant and rebelliousIn spite of its fearsome appearanceThe black rose secretlyYearned…

Deja Vu

When I passed you on the streetyou suddenly stopped and spoke to me,called me by the true name few know.You looked at me, strangely,as if puzzled to see me hereand by me not recognising you.When I answered youthe words sounded like the distant echoof something I’d said once before…You seemed so eerily familiaralthough we had just met.I got the feeling I was just an actortrapped in a play that…

Never Again Be Alone

Her husband-to-be gives her the twisted horn“Rejoice!” he cries, “Now you are no longer bewitched!“The forest demon has been slain!”She stares at the black spiral horn in her handsToo numb to rage or weepIt’s the horn of the black beastWho’ve become her one true soul-companion She should have foreseen they’d regard him as evilKnowing his fierce, rebellious spirit inspiredA deep desire for…

Rainy Day

It’s one of those dull, fog-filled days.I sit on the windowsill, smoking a cigaretteLetting my gaze rest on The lush, emerald green trees,Observing the contrast they makeTo asphalt dyed black from rain.And I remember suddenly, yesterday:You and me, laughing till we cried.And unexpectedly I discover thatThe old resentment I harboured for you Is no longer with me.I have been released fromA heavy…
