There …where the taste of silence is strange and forgotten,

There ... where the pastel sky floats and is  underfoot,

There ...where  the streets are shivering in a foggy mood.

                           They need snow.

There … where the face of Earth is changing the poles,

There … where some kilometers of the rain are endless

There... where the ships  kiss  t...

Hurry up to fall in love!

Be surprised how beautiful it is!

Hurry up to speak of love!

Realize that these words can anyone please.

To give yourself to others –

What happiness it is!

All people are sisters and brothers

Take care of friendship, please!

Don’t hide the feelings of admiration!

It’s a foundation of love creation.

I was always sure that….

Tomorrow will come.

I’ve heard it from my mum.

That was in old days.

Today those bright rays

Happened to be in a haze.

Today I am a little bit confused.

My childish insurance is reduced.

I am not sure in tomorrow.

I thank God if it doesn’t bring me sorrow.

I’ve stopped looking for the truth.

What’s the use?

ANGST

To be a Goth, do I have to suffer so? Have loneliness burn into my soul, sadness fill my heart, loss bring me to my knees?

All I have is my life and a few songs to help me by in this endless grey world of mine,

no Goth girl to save me, no real escape from this morose existence to gain ascendancy to the heavens.

A soul mate I yearn for, to escape the barest mini...

I am tired to hear your lies.

I am tired to love tired eyes.

I don’t want to listen to your cries.

I would love you to be... a bit more wise.

Or it could be better to say it like this:

I’m fed up to listen to lies,

I’m fed up to love tired eyes,

I don’t want to argue any more,

I’ll better new lands explore.

NUCLEAR-ARMED ANGELS WINGS

It’s hard to leave you all behind

all those times we laughed together,

once my friends but now no more.

All the special girls gone for good,

“Yes I’ll love you forever more”—

now just an aching memory.

Where are they now?

Do they think of me or block me out?

If only I could say sorry to those I’ve hurt,

PLANET

Strange lights in the sky tell that something is wrong.

The continents are shifting and our planet is dying

in her ageless agony.

When the world splits open we will all perish

in Armageddon, but a new beginning will finally come.

It will take so long, maybe fifty million years

but who then will inherit the earth?

How long can man really stay he...

Two men were asked one question:

What is more important – happiness or health?

The first one answered:

 Certainly happiness!

Another one said:

I would be glad if I had health,

I would change it for all my wealth.

Do you ask me why?

Here is my reply:

You know, some days ago,

I have, at last, met my happiness.

But….Damn! Damn! Damn!

After a morning quarrel with his wife

A husband has got a terrible life.

After work, coming back home,

He finds a warning syndrome.

It’s a note lying on the table:

Honey, I think you are able to heat up the food,

Today I am in a bad mood,

So, to cheer me up I went to my friend

To watch the film with a happy end.

The food is already on the stove.

You

You only feel lonely when you’re in a crowd
Say you need peace and quiet then turn the music up loud
Only feel let down when you’re being held up
Say you’re okay, and then almost erupt
Only feel my presence when I’m far away
Only say go, when you want me to stay.

You speak words of wisdom and act like a fool
Set high standards for others, then break every rule

You know, it often happens that…

People love one another.

They give love to each other in return.

In love affection they both burn.

It also happens that love is cut off

By someone’s an invisible measure.

That measure  just scoffs,

Forgetting that love is a treasure.

It happens…love is boiling of passion

And someone becomes the universe.

I’ve learnt to understand that….

A prohibitive degree of inner freedom –

Not a caprice but a strain.

Up to the end it will remain!

I’ve learnt to understand that….

The tales we dream up

We write out of our own head.

And…. we should cherish that!

I’ve learnt to break up the rules,

So that no one should be hurt.

EYE FOR AN EYE

So tell me, is it because I dared to do what I wasn’t meant to

that you turned against me?

Having feelings for my sworn enemy, doing the thing I was sworn

not to, my love turning me a traitor to my cause,

my religion and all my beliefs?

The way the cards fall are often the strangest hand of all.

then she shatters glass in an attack of tragic beauty the next.

We are all in the same boat on this rough ocean at the mercy of the gale.

You stick two fingers up to the world, life for you is not an oasis but it’s a charred blackened shell.

HARD

Every generation has its own hard men

who rule the block, kick the new kids ass’s.

Who rule every bar, don’t take no for an answer,

They use the weapons of their trade, knives,

brass knuckles, guns, bats and more.

Take them away and their fists are a back up,

Scotland, beautiful land, land of the sky, clouds

Deep black lochs full of mystery and monsters,

Everyone can see the beauty of this land,
next to England but a million miles away.
Once we were enemies but now friends,
a country with so many moods and colours,

MY LITTLE COLD WAR 

My mate sent some song lyrics to me, by some band. I read them after reading my story on my nuclear armed stealth jet being used in anger. I’m trying to make sense of the cold war I grew up in now, so many years later. It’s so crazy.

Their freedom whipped away, a candle flame snuffed out. Men of other nations go to stop yo...

NAVY

All he ever wanted to do was to improve his life, make a better life for himself and not be a lazy freeloader. Certain people thought he'd never make it; this view rubbed off on him through time and really depressed him. He was determined to show them they were wrong, that he wasn't lazy and could prove something to first himself, then them and finally the world.

upon gentle waters
absorbing warmth

Tall grass swaying

Sighing as the boss

How often we make mistakes

And lose those who are dear.

We go to those who our hearts break,

Do not notice the only one who is near.

Trying to catch somebody's fancy

We run away from the nearest one.

Forgetting your fiancée

The betrayal was done.

We run to the one who once has left us,

We ask that one again for help.

Hearts will be struck by the love arrow,

When I found the time to be
I found that time had passed me by

When my dreams had set me free
Life set its bounds upon the sky

Should my spirit soar above,
My wings the blazing sun would pluck

Should my soul find love
You'd find my cards had no such luck

And though we know the end,
we jump into the cloudy veil;

we quest for dreams, though bound;

Sometimes I doubt and want to shout,

Can’t sleep at night and….

Not so sure if I was right.

But I go my way night and day

With the flurries and hurries,

More often with beautiful sunny days,

Sometimes with colds and rains.

But in the distance I see the dawn,

Life is the sun in the day time.

Life is the beautiful chime.

Life is the moon and the stars at night.

Life is the birds flight.

Life is the mountains you climb.

Life is to share the last dime.

Life is a tale, a big surprise.

All around look so nice!

But if you see life in different way

With only dirt and violence

gnarly fingers
veil his face,
skin thin and crusty
at spots:
splotched parchment
of years in the sun

water
cascades
from his forehead to
his chin
then meets gravity;
raindrops

through his soil-grimed
singlet, jeans and boots;
hours of toil
simmer away
in rivulets
of forgetfulness.

You laughed at me and I forgot

There’s nothing I would regret

So many hearts were broken by you

And nothing could excite your blood

How much I want to say I hate you

How much I want to be with you

You are just heartless...
