Uncomplicated

I’ve never been complicated,
Using still water in crystal glasses
As a mouthwash
Sinking ships for the enjoyment of the viewer
Or elaborating dirty schemes of conquest
In the hidden drawer of my bed light illuminated desk

And now you take my hand
As if you had found the secret power
Of will killing
And I feel lost when you show me the hills
The golden crops, the hesitating sunset
Born in the corner of my nervous green eye

An unsettled thrill squeezes in
Underneath the surface
Of my chest
As I pray for you to take me by force –
My consent pending, documentation sent back –
To the world of carefree butterflies

I feel sleepless
Without the weight of your body
Evenly spread on me
I feel less myself when you’re not here
Plowing the hills, picking the crops,
Showing me the way into the dusk.

Spring

I've been longing for so long
That it's left me alone
In a place
Where no one in the world would bear to be alone

This day is over
But tomorrow you will see me
Hanging out
With another girl who wants to be you

Every spring
For the last five years
I've searched for you
In the first blossom of magnolia

I have come this far
Only by knowing
That you
Have lived through five of them as well

Sirius

I am as free
As the last man on earth
When you think about me

I am as free
As the movement of your forest eyes
When the sun doesn’t shine

I am as free
As the flap of the wings
Of your footsteps

I am taken to night
I never want to see anyone
Who isn’t you

I am everywhere
A memory, a glimpse
Of coconut candy

I am free
In your shadow
My everything saved

I am as free
As a wise man
Who can’t forget

When you think about me

Dreams Come and Go

Dreams come and go
I watch mine pass by
With the speed of the blinking eye
Of a blind man

Alas, she said, we come and go
We always return, we never leave
We are always
Constantly alone

I remember that touching her
Was always for the last time
But it’s never been this cold outside
She’s never been this cold

And when hope squandered
I knew what to do
I turned to her –
Now what do I do?

Should death ring, I will answer
We’re but a moment
That need not linger without dreams
In the middle of roads

However tears may dry
My eyes will always see
How her magic came to life
When she smiled at me

Such fragile threads hold me up
Whilst everything else is lost
And I am lost within her
Like a dream is lost in me
