Remembrance
Your hands easy
weight, teasing the bees
hived in my hair, your smile at the
slope of my cheek. On the
occasion, you press
above me, glowing, spouting
readiness, mystery rapes
my reason
When you have withdrawn
your self and the magic,
when only the smell of your
love lingers between
my breasts, then, only
then, can I greedily consume
your presence.
Maya Angelou

Life's a joke

Life’s a joke
Don’t forget that life’s a joke
Don’t forget that life’s a game
The dices will decide whether you
Have to turn to left or right
Pawns on a board game
You’re just the same
Don’t you dare think you’re so special
Pavements made for walking
A fridge to store my food
Café’s made for talking
What’s my current mood?
I guess I should be happy
But still I’m feeling blue
Maybe I do need a shrink
But then you need one too
Pawns on a board game
You’re just the same
Don’t you dare think you’re so special
Roads are made for driving A car to move along
A plane is made for flying
I don’t want to go on my own
A picture so I won’t forget
The food’s so good
But I didn’t taste it yet
(Refrain)
Inventing jobs to keep us busy
Taking pills that make us ill
Inventing sport to keep us moving
A moving stairs to keep us still
Inventing machines to connect
But are we connected, still?
Are we connected?
Is it easier? Is it better?
Is it safer? Do you think?
(Refrain)

Into the unknown

Into the unknown
Into the unknown
I cannot see
That I am part of “the”
Caressing the waves
I could not tame
The habit is still the same
Waves, waves Sound waves Broken
Out in the open
Into the unknown
I cannot see
That I am part of “the”
No words come out And almost drowned
I’m looking to be found
Stones, stones Heavy stones Thrown
I don’t own
Into the unknown
I cannot see
That I am part of “the”
I’m looking up and gasp for air
My body being unaware
Sand, sand
Filthy sand
Dazzling my eyes that make me weep
Into the unknown
I can now see
That I am part of “the”
Unravelling the layers
My skin reveals
The surface is calm and the water is clear
Waves, waves Sound waves Broken
Out in the open

Dark things (Novica Tadic)
Dark things open my eyes,
Raise my hand, knot my fingers.
They are close and far away, Beyond nine hills
In a hidden refuge.
Night is their kingdom, And this day, just breaking, Is their cloak of light.
No force can cancel them, Untangle them, explain them.
They stay where they are,
In our chests, murmuring in our hearts.

Love gets wasted
nothing's going on
love gets wasted
Let's sing another song
but when it’s gone
everything goes wrong
but when it’s gone
There's nowhere to belong
love gets wasted
nothing's going on
love gets wasted
You’d be wondering what is taking so long
but when it’s gone
everything goes wrong
but when it’s gone
There's nowhere to belong

Could it be

Could it be
Don’t try to fight
Love’s not at the other side
All is movement
Movement is all
Love comes and goes
Can we build it up again
No noise will be heard
There’s too much noise
Too much
