Fjordscene Poetry

crackled eyes watch crackled earth – faint distortion overheard conversation nothing of any worth – crackled face observed unwanted – faults found where expected, solutions wanting – not wanted – crackled clocks tick time unheeded, time’s mover, why check time? […]

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

Thick drops bright red dissolving in tonic water – evening distant buzz fading – tired of drinking, too tired not to –

Those days – and all that we still thought might be! Those days of awkward memory! Those days have proved themselves – in hindsight – best, and yet we didn’t know, and let them go to waste.

I am nothing unique, really – I am a drop of water in the river of society, unsatisfied, unfulfilled, like any other. We’re headed somewhere collectively but that is not a place I wish to see – the fear is […]

There’s a creaking bed next door – a solitary sound – a person quietly turning at eleven o’clock in the morning – sick, perhaps, or tired? Or just unable to see the purpose of facing the world alone? I know […]

Early. Spring. Fog. Walking. Sad. Tired. Drops. Dripping. Cold. Thinking. ’bout what? No knowing. Tired. Foggy. Silhouettes. Fading. Distant. Laughter. What for? No knowing. Isolation. Distant. Yearning. Mind. Working. Tired. Still. Thinking. Changing. Life. Weather. Season. Planning. What for? No […]

Heavy dampness in the air, whiteness everywhere – muffled sounds from far away as morning wakes to day – Tentative light that tries to poke its fingers through the fog of sleep – the war of Spring on Winter leaves […]

Jeg drømte ikke om at blive digter – jeg drømte om at blive menneske. Ja, jeg ønskede faktisk at udskifte et fuldtonende hjerte med disse klangløse skaller med deres hule mislyd som andre mennesker sådan værner om – Men er […]

The things I valued not so long ago – the things for which I lived and the ones I left untold are all now piled together into one close-packed rhyme for all now share in fate: They’ve fallen out of […]

An open, empty field covered only by the grass where something used to be – well, something had to pass I stare at the empty space and cannot fathom this – all that is left is emptiness Passing shooting stars […]

What do you know about the road into the wilderness – framed by the pines in silent lines of endless loneliness The road, the road which trails its track through miles of forest-land, without a destination, void of end, beginning […]

I waited for the snowfall but finally when it 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 […]

As night-time falls I watch the moon’s pale reflecting light rise up over the horizon’s far-off dunes of fields with varying crops, and listen to the night’s saddening tunes of crying crickets and falling drops and an owl who lonely […]

Warble birds your sweet, sweet song. Never stop. Go on. Go on. My heart’s heavy, my song’s spent. My head’s heavy, earthward bent. Sing a song of sweet delight, send it upwards to the light while I wander in the […]

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 –
