Fjordscene Poetry

burning liquid in my throat charred words that won’t come out – i’ll swallow them down and drown them in my veins – death to my pain! –

urgent matter – idle chatter – heart with aches – app updates – poignant thought – distraction sought – deadline close – close to doze – friends in need – gone with speed – feeling alone – stares at phone […]

life laughs at me and i spit in its face in uncontrollable rage – it flies right back and hits me in the head – “revenge: i won’t let you simply drop dead – you’ll be condemned to live instead…”

I write you to life again – I would that you were my friend though you weren’t so when alive and I didn’t realize that we even could have been until I heard you had died. — to “Gustav” for […]

Life taught me early on to fly under the radar and thereby live – Nobody taught me I’d need more fuel to fly so low in higher air density – I taught myself with great care to save energy in […]

How I long to believe in something – how the world lets me down each time I try – everything I believe in seems destined to wither and die – My heart remains full of visions as my mind stays […]

I know how I am and care to confess; I could be more than you yet remain somehow less – Though I ride the cresting waves inside – outside of my control – I fail at harnessing their power. If […]

I have not the arrogance of humans – mine is not the voice of presumption – I walk among them in silence and they do not sense my presence – I have not the bearing of them – not their […]

The cold light of dawn that highlights all flaws – I stand firm in the face of danger, humiliation, misunderstanding – for lack of alternative. What does the world have to offer me but a prison made of human hearts […]

Childhood vs. Adult Imagination I remember, once upon a time, an ocean stretching far and wide – an open, endless, wide expanse whose boundaries were out of sight Yet now, when in that kind of mood I take the path […]

Achievements – what are they? They’ll vanish when I’m gone, and though my heart is young my soul is ancient-old. I’ve known sorrow, known pleasure, and love is all I have to show, a love impeding every chance to grow […]

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 […]

When settled down you had enough and thought you couldn’t bear the thought of staying in one place, that you’d for lack of longing lose your mood – So off you chased, new to peruse, not noticing that as you […]

What is there hidden, deep within, whose rhythm can be felt when you begin your journey towards me – I think all thought must cease, no thought can no more please one half as much as you, right here beside […]

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 […]

I am tired of searching for something I’m not sure to find. I am tired of writing words I’m not sure I even understand. I am tired of editing poems written years ago and try to make amends for visions […]

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 […]
