Halloween Night

2009-04-25T14:10:00.012+02:00

Children alone in the dark

As the village clock strucks midnight

Cannot find their sleep

Murmuring "It's Halloween night!"

Horrible witches and black cats abroad, wheezing trough the sky

Fire-spitting dragons and brave knights, battling till one dies

Prancing unicorns and honest angels, bringing peace they try

Before the dreadful mermaids sing their last lullaby:

"Come little children, we'll take thee away

To a land of magic and enchantment.

Come little children, it's time to play

Come and follow us, we'll show ye the way."

Raindrops like tears, gently fall down

There isn't but a sound

For no living soul suspects...

Mothers alone in the dark

As the village clock strucks midnight

Alongside fathers they sleep tight

Not hearing, the little voice murmuring:

"They will never come back."

Love Me Forever - Bella & Edward

2009-04-22T18:24:00.011+02:00

These are just quick thoughts, put together, but without any real meaning. I wrote them in Philosophy class (like always xD). Yes, I used to be Twilight obsessed, but I quickly changed. ^.^ However, feel free to add in your own thoughts. =)

Love me always
Cry on my shoulder
Hold me in your arms
Kiss me all night long

All I want is you
Stay with me
Be my bride
You're everything

I can't live without you
Don't leave me
Once upon a time
My one and only one

Dreams do come true
My sweet princess
My heart skips a beat
Everytime I see you

Stars in your eyes
That's all I want to see
A smile on your face
Just for me

Love me always, my dear
Love me forever, my sweet.

Turpitude

2009-04-10T16:23:00.002+02:00

Soleil couchant, soleil brulant
La mer aux flots de tempête

Saute, saute ma belle, foudroyant

Les vagues comme une bête

Eau glaciale, eau de cristale

Teintée de rouge écarlat

Tombe, tombe ma belle, pale

Un vampire s'en va

Coeur de pierre, coeur de chair

Amour à jamais impossible

Nage, nage ma belle un éclair

Parvient toujours à sa cible

Souffle béni, souffle de vie

Preuve d'amour éternel
Respire, respire ma belle, ma mie

Et le vampire embrasse la belle

Vie magique, vie féerique

Ensembles pour l'éternité

Danse, danse ma belle la musique
Exalte sans fin ta beauté

Baisé mielleux, baisé fabuleux

Enlacés pour toujours

Je t'aime, je t'aime ma belle, bleu

Est le ciel de ton perpétuel jour.

Ne Pleur Pas Mon Amour

2009-04-10T15:35:00.005+02:00

La vie coule comme un ruisseau qu'on ne peut arrêter.
N'ai pas peur de son courrant,
Il suffit de le prendre tranquillement.
Tu verras, je t'attendrai là bas.
Un sourire aux lèvres, une fleur à la main,
Juste pour toi, rien que pour toi.
Ne t'inquiète pas, la vie continue.
Un jour on se reverra,
Quand le souffle ne sera plus.
Mais alors on aura l'éternité,
Et on pourra vivre en beauté.
Je veux te voir heureuse, belle danseuse
Je veux te voir rire, ma poupée de cire.

Pour toutes celles qui rêvent encore au grand amour
N'abandonnez pas
Pour toutes celles qui pleurent seules dans la nuit
Ne despérez pas
Pour toutes celles qui sont encore des petites filles
Ne grandissez pas

La vie est faite de surprises
Et le ciel n'est pas toujours bleu
On a pas toujours main mise
Sur ce qui nous rend heureux

Mais pourtant on reste vivant
Car la vie en vaut la peine
Il faut juste trouver un instant
Ce jour où on nous dit "je t'aime".

Death Like A Dream

2009-04-10T15:33:00.002+02:00

Last night I dreamt I could fly
Way high into the sky
Across the sea, over mountaintops
And I landed in your arms

This morning my life a dream
It was not what it seemed
Through forests, beneath shining stars
And I was there in your arms

Tonight I will dream I hope
Slipping away like soap
Out of life, on falling edges
And always there in your arms

‘Morrow dream I will no more
Cry because I am sore
Within your reach, in a dark abyss

And never more in your arms

Tale Of A Pregnant Girl

2009-04-10T15:30:00.003+02:00

If my life were a fairytale
If men could fly
If we could only play pretend
If we didn’t mind
Don’t you think we would be strong?
Don’t you think we would live long?
Instead of standing, looking out
And thinking of crying out

Why, why oh why me?
Why can’t I be who I am?
Why, why oh why me?
Why won’t they understand?

If he were still with me
If life wasn’t mean
If the sky was always blue
If only people knew
Don’t you think we would make it through?
Don’t you think I’d live to see you?
Instead of standing, looking out
And thinking of crying out

Why, why oh why me?
Why can’t I be who I am?
Why, why oh why me?
Why won’t they understand?

If I were strong enough
I wouldn’t
If I were brave enough
I would never
If only I weren’t so frail
I would live the day
Instead of standing, looking out
And thinking of crying out

Why, why oh why me?
Why can’t I be who I am?
Why, why oh why me?
Why won’t they understand?

If I could have spared your life
I would have
If they could have listened
I wouldn’t be here
If there weren’t a cliff
I wouldn’t jump

Why, why oh why me?
Why can’t I be who I am?
Why, why oh why me?
Why won’t they understand?

If only you would disappear
I could…
If only you weren’t here
I could…
But you can’t be undone

Why, why oh why me?
Why can’t I be who I am?
Why, why oh why me?
Why won’t they understand?

Stay

2009-04-10T14:34:00.002+02:00

Life goes on
Whatever happens
Life goes on
Even if it’s no fun
Birth and death alike
Will always cross your path
And in a world so black
There is sure to be wrath

Close your eyes
And breathe in deep
Close your eyes
It’s for you to keep
Hopes and dreams
Joy and torment
It is not what it seems
It’s the way it’s meant

Open your eyes
Oh don’t go away
Open your eyes
Please don’t sway
The world is beautiful
You just have to look
For a country so peaceful
There isn’t a crook

Cry all you like
You’ll soon learn
Cry all you like
Take another turn
There is blood on your shirt
But don’t you worry
It’ll soon be dirt
And you’ll only feel glory

It is yours
So smile wide
It is yours
There’s no need to hide
You’re free to be you
And live your life
So let it pass through
And leave that knife

You know I love you
So why doubt
You know I love you
No need to pout
Take my hand
And follow my lead
Time is sand
And we’re all seeds

You have a role to play
So please, stay.

Impossible Love

2009-04-10T14:32:00.001+02:00

Why does it have to be that way ?
You and I so far away
I want to hold you in my arms
And not be the one who falls

Why can’t it be some other way ?
Every time you make me sway
See me, hug me, kiss me I wish
I could grant your every wish

I love you, I need you
I’m crazy about you
I dream, I cry, I hope
I wish we could elope

You love me, you need me
You’re crazy about me
You dream, you cry, you hope
You wish we could elope

I can’t see myself without you
Yet it’s always been that way
I hope someday I will meet you
And that you will see me sway

Yet how can I be sure of how
It will be, you and me
When I am not sure even now
Of how you feel towards me ?

Is it only a dream
Or is it really true ?
Are you only afraid
Of telling me you love me
Afraid that it’ll make it worse
For the both of us ?

Yet deep inside you scream
“How badly I need you !” ?
You are the youth and I the maid
Love me as love can be
Like Juliet to her Romeo
We’ll kiss under the mistletoe

Like Juliet to her Romeo

We’ll kiss under the mistletoe

Fairy Tale

Laugh while you can
Don’t run after life
Act like a man
And let go of that knife

You know you’re free
So go your own way
Be who you want to be
And fly away

Once upon a time
That’s what they say
Love isn’t a crime
It’s part of your day

So kiss me now
And close your eyes
Before me bow
For always, you shall be mine

Through Life We Wonder

2009-04-10T14:23:00.002+02:00

I walk through life, forgotten
I walk through life, so dead
It seems as if I’ve fallen
To never be seen again
I thought I was happy
That you were there for me
But what do you know
It was only a second ago

We wonder through life in an empty shell
We wonder through life like in Hell
We fall to never rise again
We die to never be seen again

I run through life, broken
I run through life, bleeding
It seems as if I’ve fallen
To never be seen again
And I thought you were mine
That we shared one’s mind
But what did I know
It was just a second ago

We wonder through life in an empty shell
We wonder through life like in Hell
We fall to never rise again
We die to never be seen again

I rise and fall
I laugh and cry
I live and I die
The sun is setting on my life
But tomorrow it’ll rise
On something new

We wonder through life in an empty shell
We wonder through life like in Hell
We fall to never rise again
We die to never be seen again
But tomorrow, you’ll see
You’ll be with me

Nature And You

2009-04-10T14:21:00.002+02:00

Look through the sand
Grab and pull my hand
You are my sunshine
A beautiful vine

Pick up a leaf
You’re not a thief
Fly up a tree
You are a bee

Watch a galloping horse
As the sun rises north
Mushrooms grow high
You are alive

Find and smell a rose
Happy it makes your nose
Red grows a tomato
Hollow a willow

Look through the sand
Grab and pull my hand
You are my sunshine

A beautiful vine

Not This Time

2009-04-10T14:19:00.001+02:00

Don’t know what to say
Don’t know what to do
And when I look away I see you
See you holding her hand
See you striding away
Like it was all a game.

I don’t know why
But I want to hit you
I don’t know why
But it feels so right
You hurt me bad and ran away
Now your smile is wide yet I know your plan

Keep away from her, she’s not a victim
Keep away from her, she doesn’t deserve this

Why do you always screw it up ?
Why do you always fail
To realize girls fall for you
Rip their souls out into the night ?

Does this feel right to you ?
I can see you laugh
Does this seem right to you ?
Nothing ever gets through.

Yet I won’t back up
Not this time
You’re not gonna make her cry
Not this time
We won’t be the victims
Not this time

You will.

Thus

2009-04-10T14:18:00.003+02:00

I said ‘I love you’ sometime after I met you
But today I know I hadn’t thought it over
Enough to tell you this something out of the blue
‘No’ was your answer it broke my four leaf clover
One I had wished on
Tears became normal while I tried to forget you
Healing my poor heart and thus my four leaf clover
For it was something which brought me closer to you
But today I know I hadn’t thought it over
Enough and we were only friends
I accept though I cry yet I know it was meant
Thus.

(Alcazar, Segovia, Spain, 2005)

And I Cry

2009-04-10T14:18:00.002+02:00

Tonight I cry
And everything starts over
It feels like years have passed
And I thought I was healed
But no it isn’t so
I am craving once more
For love and hugs, nothing more
And I pray to God to help.

I cry because I am scared
Scared that I will fall again
In this abyss in which I had been trapped
I cry because I am desperate
Because I am all alone
Because I have never been loved
Because even my friends ignore who I am
And I pray to God to help me
And I know he is there
But it is not enough.

And I cry because I am weak and small
And I don’t want to grow up
And I wish someone could save my life
And I wish it were a song
But no it isn’t so.

As I lie here in my bed no one knows what I’m doing. No one knows that my poem is broken because my life is. No one knows that beneath my perpetual smile I am in pain. And know one cares. Because today we are alone in this world and it is hard to find someone who will listen to you. And it’s even harder when you’re different, when at heart you’re a child and a witch and an artist, and no one understands artists.

And I cry because I realize
I can’t go on like this
But as my pen fills a page
I grow stronger
Because I know that I cried tonight

But tomorrow I won’t.

(Acropolis, Athenes, Greece, 2006)

I Am A Little Girl

2009-04-10T14:17:00.002+02:00

I am a little girl who dreams of Peter Pan
You are little boy who dreams of Superman
We were friends remember how we used to play
Together in recess not minding others’ talk

I am ten years old and dream of Peter Pan
You are eleven and hope to be like Superman
We are friends always together we love to stay
At your house or mine fooling around not minding the clock.

I am sixteen and still dream of Peter Pan
You are seventeen and have forgotten Superman
We are still friends yet haven’t you heard
Someone is with you now more than you with me

I am twenty-two and dream of joining Peter Pan
You are twenty-three and you’re everyone’s man
We have lost sight because I became third
And didn’t want to change unlike her and the baby

I am thirty and married to Peter Pan
You are thirty-one and weren’t our best-man
You have forgotten me and never did know
That I loved you on top of all and would’ve cared for Angel

I have been gone for thirty years with Peter Pan
You are sixty-five and have been every girls’ man
Yet now you remember and try to look for me, but no
You will not find me you left me long ago at my burial.

Song To Mary

2009-04-10T14:14:00.002+02:00

Mary, t’you forever I’ll stay
With you in my heart, with you in my skin
Please hear my cry for love
Please understand, I cannot go alone.

Mary, be kind to me, I am still a child
Waiting patiently for love, waiting for you
Please hear my cry of life
Please understand, I need someone to love me.

Mary, I am tired and sick
Of those daily beatings, of those daily haitings
Please hear my cry for death
Please understand, I can’t go on like this.

Mary, I have found someone
To love like mad, to cherish forever
Please hear my cry of freedom
Please understand, the one I love has gone today.

Mary, I’m coming to see you
I can’t wait, I have missed you so
Please hear my cry of joy
Please understand, it’ll be quick, do not stop me.

What If?

2009-04-10T14:10:00.003+02:00

You don’t know who I am
You wouldn’t even recognise my face
Though all the while my head’s way up in space
I dream that you were my and only man.

What if the world were made of witches,
Elves, dwarves, and dragons’ lairs?
Would you, would you be my friend?
Would you, would you even love me?

What if again it were the Middle-Ages,
With knights and monks living together?
Would you, would you be my friend?
Would you, would you even love me?

I dream both day and night
Of witches and castles bright
My eyes are closed up tight
Even though you are there in the light.

The death of an artist leaves the world to mourn.
What if I were one, to you would I stay unknown?
Would you, would you have been my friend?
Would you, would you even have loved me?

My pencil drops, I have no life
My dreams were my only light.

Behind The Mirror

2009-04-10T14:08:00.003+02:00

I am like two great doors, straight and perfect and clear,
That hide another world, hidden from human pain.
Hopes and fears do I show, yet why am I so dear?
Your dreams lie beyond me, endless like pouring rain.

Please will you look at me, see that Vermeer painting?
Your eyes are like hers, the girl with a pearl earring.
I see endless battles, a knight called King Arthur,
But why do you not see, is it merely a blur?

Why do you look away, when fearless beyond me?
The truth do I show you, do you wish to be free?
I have see you grown up, see changes in your lines,
Now I see you sad, longing for the past times.

Open my doors and see, every wonder is here,
It is but a voyage, a route all must take,
You'll find an endless world, your own Castle of Llyr,
I will make you happy, for nothing here is fake.

Heart Broken

2009-04-10T14:04:00.004+02:00

I loved you, more than anyone else,
I tried to show you, but you were somewhere else.
I hoped, I thought you were mine
But I guess I was just blind.

We shared moments I shall never forget,
But the love you give her, I shall never get.
There were times when I thought you were mine
But I guess it was just a creation of my mind.

I guess we were just too faraway to stay in touch,
And the friendship we shared was already too much.
Yet how could I have known?

You're better with her than me, but why did I not see?
Because I was in my own little world, and you were with me.
Yet now I am,all on my own.
