|| nature ||

divided into two

the earth remains one

the two poles remain

connected like you and i

becoming air

your breath becomes part of me

you create the nature

within me

your being

is the sun's light

your love

the constant earth with me

you are

and the world is

mine like home

in the twitter of birds

your words

promise redemption

for me.

|| galaxy ||

without you

time flows in me

like a river

i bathe in

the loneliness-infested

river of fear

i harden the

earth of my heart to

stone that you

chisel to beauty

days of pleasure

bury themselves

in the dust of time

in my silence

i live your divine love

your silent decorous cordiality

in the dark loneliness

your name is

part of the universe

swimming across the

galaxy of the body

eyes want to reach

the other end

to find liberation

from still time.

(Painting : Tina Klitgaard Eriksen)

|| in love ||

the body

has been sanctified

bathed in the

elixir running over

our bodies

in love

eyes look inwards

the heart thinks

with an inner core

memories hold

the unwavering reflection

of the skittish image

awaiting love

eager breath

sweeps the path

and contemplates the coming

of beloved.

(Painting : Lissa Bockrath)

|| your words ||

in the letter

words arrive

on soundless feet

quiet as your eyes

they watch

the silence of my face

from the words of the letter

my eyes drink

your tears,

the eyes of your words

absorb my disquiet

in your words breathes

your restlessness

the uncontestable narrative

of loneliness.

the symphony

of the tortured soul

plays on

your only alternative

are words you wrote

intimate, quiet.
