The dancing creature

The rythm hits the heart
Pumps its power through the body
Bursts its bonds and releases its energy
Through fingertips, toes and head

Just like a bomb
The shock waves hit the legs, the arms, the neck
A body is forced to make sudden movements
By invisible sources

Drumbeats breaks the silence
Shoots as far the eye can see
Repeats a shuffled groove
Again and again and again

The baby’s legs are kicking
The child’s hands are clapping
The youth’s torso is moving
The adult’s feet are stomping
The old’s head is swinging

Born with a desire to move
Made with love for rythms
Unable to stay uneffected
By sounds composed for
The dancing creature

In just one day

In just one day
Colors turned from grey to yellow
Chords turned from minor to major
Life turned from hopeless to pleasant

What makes me believe again and again
That the darkness is unwavering
When the glittering sun always returns to its position?
The sun rises and the sun sets
Forever it will be this way

Life teaches about the seasons
Life is about to change
Always
Developing to something new
Still returning to the familiar

In just one day
Words turned from weary to carefree
Tastes turned from tasteless to spicy
Odor turned from perspiration to perfume
In just one day

It's night

It's night
The time is 2:35
I'm twisting and turning in my bed
For every new position I believe I'll fall asleep
But then I need another position

In my mind
Thoughts are travelling with a high speed
They replay situations from the past
They picture situations in the future
Then they zoom out to present
And concentrate on finding a new position

It's night
The time is 2:43
I'm angry at myself since I can't fall asleep
But the more I think about it
The harder it gets

In my mind
Thoughts travel from one place to another
They travel the whole world in just a few seconds
They show me the boy I used to love
He played the drums
In the states I played hand percussion
The hand percussion class was boring
My room mate also thought some classes were boring
She wants to visit me in Norway
Where should she stay then?
Where should I stay in a couple of months?
I should apply for a loan tomorrow
It would have been easier to get a loan if I had a husband
I should have married the boy I used to love...

Thoughts are busy like the aunts
They never rest
Not even in the night
Thoughts are many
They cannot be counted
Not even with the best computer in the world

It's night
The time is 2:58
I don't have to rush falling asleep
It just won't help anyway
I will enjoy every thought,
every move,
every breath,
every...,
every...
zzz

One Moment

One moment
stealing moments from the future
shooting peace dead before its resurrection
What seemed so innocuous
turned out to prove the bulletproof protection
useless
Convulsions to break free
were left behind
like a fire quickly put out
with rising smoke as the only token of
a lost battle
Banners with exclamation marks
Banners with arrows
Blinded itself on purpose
just for a while...
One moment
only one moment
painted the walls black
covered the details of glory
until a new room was entered
and the gold again could dazzle the eyes
Lovely, senseless pleasure
caressing naked skin
Every touch a new foundation stone to
build the prison of grief
One moment
never was one moment
but a part of forever
