Windows in the clouds
Beneath the heavy cloud blanket are people with gloomy faces. Some attempt to smile, but most succumb to the pressing darkness. In the news, scientists report that we’re more prone to becoming depressed, that the lack of light disrupts our sleeping patterns and that we’re more drawn to sugar because of it. We haven’t seenContinue reading “Windows in the clouds”
I Sprinkle

Trembling stars
I see a trembling star, I ask her, “Why do you tremble?” “I am afraid of the dark.” “You? You who are made of light!” “The light you see is who I used to be. Now I’m naught but a rock.” I put my hand on her cold, rugged body, in an attempt to calmContinue reading “Trembling stars”
Perception Misconception
Distinguishing who I am without you Extinguishing who you say I am, before you I am nothing without your gaze Although, I may be shrewed in it too I take a pick of what you say I am, make a mental note, the rest I denote Because at times I concur to your perception YouContinue reading “Perception Misconception”
Intelligent scum
What if people a hundred years from now will look back at us in the” rich” world and ask: Why didn’t you stop this from happening? There are no flowers any longer We have no trees The bees no longer buzz around our elbows and knees The sun is scorching our skin water tastes likeContinue reading “Intelligent scum”
As of this moment
Staring out on the humble rain watching summer disintegrate Leaves are shapeshifting eavesdropping to the marching band of autumn appearing in the distance humans, animals and plants alike prepare to cocoon for a winter’s fortnight
Peeling layers of thought
I’ve been writing all day. I went to Haymarket, looked around in the beautiful milieu and had a coffee, or two actually, very important. The act of going to a place to write, is special. You designate time to write. I don’t do that very often, but when I do, I cherish every second. IContinue reading “Peeling layers of thought”
Fall. In. Love. Again. and. Again

In. Love. Again. and. Again”
Little Miss Fuck-Up
Yesterday I went out bowling and got drunk instead of studying.

I don’tContinue reading “Little Miss Fuck-Up”

Brace yourselves…
I’m physically exhausted. Yesterday I ran like a maniac, 3 km fast warm-up, then doing 8x400m á 1.30min (fast for me because I’m out of shape, the WR is 47.60 seconds so there’s that comparison for you), then wrapped it up with 2km jogging. Today Sonja and I went boxing and now I’m laying here withContinue reading “Brace yourselves…”
Apocalyptic Delight
We are striving in the light of pain Thriving in apocalyptic delight A life on the edge desperately searching for magic destructive behavior The constant search for a savior For at times, life is bleached by the ruthlessness of futility It’s senseless to believe we’re only here for fertility when everything circles our minds abilityContinue reading “Apocalyptic Delight”

A Stockholm Chimera
There lies peace in this morning, it is nesting on the streets, huddling together with relief in a solemn embrace.

Cacophony Misfortune

The Stained Man – a short story
It’s a solemn morning for the man who is busy pouring his coffee down the drain. He is mad, for all he can see is the stain, the stain on his white shirt which, in his mind, represents his life. He mutters to himself as he watches the rain trickle down the window pane; “I’mContinue reading “The Stained Man – a short story”
Love, Never happened
We tremble As we stride through unknown territories To the sound of ‘Harmony of Pheromonies’ We reach As we speak quietly For each other’s inner entirety We seek As we, eyes locked, gaze solemnly For some sort of certainty We test As we tease in elation For a higher state of affirmation We find notContinue reading “Love, Never happened”
