If you take a fish out the sea, it dies. Unless you put it in a fish bowl but then it’ll never be free again, still it might survive. Well, partially. The fish will continue being a fish but certainly…

One hundred days have passed.

In my naive beliefs

I hoped all memories would fade with time.

Trees have lost their leaves.

Bees have come like thieves

and our sunflowers are now staring 

at me while I'm standing here 

alone.

…

Some people are full of good intentions

They lay their opinions 

and flag their misbeliefs

they focus on the ifs

and they always claim to know better.

I find their views as tedious as my predictable ex-boyfriend.

What they claim…

I'm here looking at excuses

not to close my eyes and sleep.

My mind has the bruises

and my soul is looking deep

into something I still want to keep.

I feel like you left and I

tired to make…

Mum, turning my back on you

is pain, hurt and sacrifice.

You are my greatest love

The loveliest soul.

You are the sun

and all the waves in the sea.

You are all the stars in the sky

in this…

High up amongst the snowy clouds

my ground thoughts run past me with devotion 

Destiny ahead is free.

Anticipation beats the motion.

Lingering fire within.

I was going somewhere

at least so I thought

In and out

My mind is…

A place of war

that burns like a star.

A stage for pain

when love was vain.

I wield my mind

Back to back.

Not knowing what to expect.

Distance stretches misbelief 

like a lonesome flower

in a desert field.

…

Some handsome man

Sat across the room.

His smile burned the space between us.

And I held my voice so high in song.

Afraid he would be gone

before the music stopped.

One day a man came from far away

A big, strong and kind hearted man

came cross my way.

His eyes,

Blue as a summer wave.

His skin was soft.

Heavy love poured from his heart.

His mind was as…

To love and to leave. 
It hurts me to feel 
Such atrocious pain. 

Our hearts spin like a metal chain. 
Will it ever break again? 

To love and to weave. 

Needles and lanes. 
Our hearts beat for the season. 
Our…

I thought I was less. 

I starred myself in the eye, 
A mute cry. 

My feathers crooking. 
A route that is no longer routing. 

This cunning mask. 
This game of chess. 
King and Queen. 
Both seem to be gone, 
back…

Sometimes I wish you all could read it in my eyes,

the unwritten lines,

the forgotten times,

the hurt, pain and sacrifice...

all the sleepless nights.

And I gotta stay here,

right behind these eyes,

right behind these eyes,

waiting…

'All in life is perspective' Music whispered in my ear, while the sea breeze nodded reluctantly.

January 2019

The man has returned 

Languid like a seagull in the wind,

Soft like a sea stone 

down in the deep blue sea.

Paintings in his skull.

Music in his skin.

Stories in his hands.

His smile is mine tonight.

I…

Travelling is just like swimming.
You got your feet off the ground, 
Crumbling motion, 
Your limbs go floating, 
Free from the worries 
you've been carrying 
In your shoulders. 
Your heart goes fishing, 
Those promises of love, 
On the road. 

Travelling…

My heart belongs to the wilderness, 
The skies still red like a never-ending song. 
As long as there is the ocean for me to look upon, 
I'll cross it once, twice, 
back and forth, 
until the sun sets and the…

Some people draw lines in the sand 
I stretch my hopes and walk over rocks 
My soul goes swimming with sharks 
in Lynton bay. 

I'd like to sit here with my man one day, 
Sing till dawn, 
Lay my bones…

Your life, my life. 

Doesn't it mean the same thing? 
Your heart, my heart. Don't they beat the same way? 
Your skin, my skin. Touch it. 
Touch me. 
Do it again. 
Doesn't it feel exactly the same? 

I am what…

Music is that very thin line lost in the horizon,

distant dream so close at sight.

Some say they are far away,

those cloudy notes of pure delight.

But I sat in the sand, day and night,

holding it all…

I asked the moon one night 

“will you light my soul on fire?” 

“I ain't got flames like that star over there.” 

She answered pointing west. 

My eyes rushed through the night sky, 

stumbled upon two lonesome clouds, 

patiently waiting…

Love is water running when you're thirsty. 

Love feels like sunbeams burning in your tummy. 

Oh love! 

 Snow flakes falling in the summer. 

 Love is music playing in the toilet. 

 Love is sharing a full bowl 

 of sweet popcorn 

 in…

I want hate to fill up my entire body 

and ignite my soul 

I want it all over the table 

Spilling onto the floor. 

I want to slam that door. 

I want to find a way out this misery and…

In the dead of the night 

I am going back in time 

Going back 

To the days we left behind. 

And I’ll never hear your voice again 

Whispering in my ear in the morning 

Your fingers sweeping away all the…

No one has ever seen what's behind that frail smile of yours. 

A thousand words echoed. 

A million doors were shut right before 

 that beautiful and frail smile of yours. 

Tears have been falling heavy in the dark. 

They've warned…
