Fjordscene Poetry

My hair falls in heavy waves like a red tide over my forehead and covers my eyes halfway – I should cut it, but if I did the parts your hands swam through would too be cut away.

A smell as if by flowers wafts towards me. Golden waves glide on a non-existing wind. A landscape in completion is before me. And yet it constantly seems to unwind. You smile and yet it does not reach your eye. […]

You stood there, lonely shadow cast you on the pavement, the streetlight lit your hair on fire, I stood in the shade, admired how your breath escaped your lips in clouds of damp heartbreaks I stand under the golden light […]

Dewfall has happened in my heart, night descends warm and moist upon my soul, and therein you lie asleep calm and peaceful. I wish you would wake, I wish you could, to quell the claustrophobic silence of my room, but […]

I know not whether dawn or sunset shone but such a light was in the sky; deep turquoise in the background and clouds of saffron and vermillion, which I could not separate from her hair which waved in the light […]

Shimmering in the light that turns you black, your contour dances in front of the door; a throbbing pulse of movement reaches me, a sight as unlike your appearance as the sun itself – you’re vivified by light and in […]

We used to be a bottle before we broke apart. Now we are merely glass shards moved by the ocean’s heart And if we once should happen washed up on the same beach we, by the sea’s erosion, can never […]

rays of light above your head illuminate your hidden fate within my heart I call your name: Golden Delicious your beauty fills me with shame Golden Delicious your eyes are alight they make me cast a shadow cast away my […]

OK, everybody. As you may or may not know, I closed down my old and trusty poetry blog in late December. Not because I didn’t plan to continue writing, or because I wanted to stop publishing the things I had […]

I saw her in a vision – an image of perfection – I know her to be real yet unreal there. So many things could happen but not one did – and I am left here now, alone – the […]

I draw life and life draws me too but life does it better than I ever do.

Crack open the sun just to see what’s inside – perhaps a warm and cozy spot wherein to hide? Fly straight up and out of the atmosphere – perhaps it is quiet and peaceful out there? Take out my brain […]

Watching tableaus change before my eyes – people moving, scenarios altered, everything now happens in a sort of vacuum – all outside of me and I outside of all. All outside of me and I outside of all I float […]

I waited for the snowfall but when it finally came the snowflakes melted in the air before they reached the ground and all remained the same. I waited for the sunshine but when I finally caught a beam it had […]

The sunset seems to burn the sea – It flares up like your smile – A moment of serenity – Then gone – And when I’m gone you also won’t remember me –

You might as well hold my shadow – it clings on tightly to you – it will not let you go but needs your smile to soothe it. You might as well have my eyes – they only see you […]

Where are my sunrises? Where are my sunsets? Where are my days? An endless night has taken their place. Where are all my colours? Where is all the music? Colourless it fades. A blurry image of a world now passes […]

You see what’s in me hidden, you know what I will say. You know I’m with you smitten, and yet you stay away. I do not need your arguments and reason has no power; if you don’t share my sentiments […]

I’ve loved you since my childhood. I’ll love you till I die. Your immaterial material being has made me laugh and cry. I know each nook and corner, I’ve walked each street and path. And though I’ve left in person […]

somewhere between brevity and perpetuality there is an empty space where our shared memories rest together – never lost and never severed – somewhere between change and constancy, a state beyond expression and beyond the limits of thinking, there is […]
