Threads Of Passion
You ignite Northern Lights in my universe
Like a gift from the goddess Aurora
With you I float in cool azure oceans
Aware of the darkness in the depths below
You are sailing on still waters waiting
Anticipating the storms from the horizon
With thorns of sea cucumbers invading
I inflict puncture wounds seeping surrender
You help me float out into the distance
Waiting with hourglasses for my arrival
With the white foam of breaking waves
I create fluffy dream clouds of aspiration
You set the sea surf by my heartbeat
Letting the tide surround me with silence
Out of reefs I built fragile castles on sand
That are later destroyed by infinite currents

Staying above Water
Sometimes I get up and believe I'm not quite awake
Because images of my dreams still make me ache
At times I think I am a child and waiting for my mother
Only to find out that she's not here and is lost like many other
Sometimes I stare out of my window and feel depleted
Because life seems to pass by and I feel empty and cheated
At times I feel I have to get out and scream real loud
Only to find that I don't know what I'm screaming about
Life is a strange experience and often I feel like an actor
Everything is just seems to be a game without a common factor
Every day we face choices that are impossible to foresee
We just have to hope we make the right ones - don't you agree
For me staying above water seems to be a really difficult task
And it's hard to show emotions and live without a mask
Once you reveal that you care you are no longer strong
And others can drown you and make your suffering prolong

Breakthrough
My heart held captured by snow storms
Surrounded by icicles of different forms
A world of silence and covered by snow
Feelings of peace and serenity I can't let go
Then without much notice you came around
And my world is crumbling and breaking down
You know that I never asked you to melt my icy wall
But you did it anyway and I lost my security and all
Now you are residing right here in my heart
But you dont let me find you from the start
I know that you exist only in my dreams
But I will keep searching for you - it seems
You left me out in the cold and without protection
But you are not real yet - only a vague reflection
Understand that I could become anyone you want me to be
Because you are my savior and only you set me free

Monday Morning
As the sun comes up between the grey of the rain clouds
Brighter than the streetlights along the industrial parks
I travel slowly gaining foot by foot in the dense traffic
As the buses, trucks and cars fight their way up the bridge
I see beauty on this Monday morning after the rain
While misty drops of water elevated by the tires ahead
Splash on my windshield before illuminating like diamonds
The sun rises in my back welcoming this new rainy day
Harbor cranes like silhouettes along the river shores
Tower high above the freight piers blue and grey on grey
Crossing the bridge high above the city in the midst of traffic
I see the dark waters sleeping very still after the storm
Drops of water lingering on the railing far on the outer edge
Before losing balance and making the journey into the deep
To mingle with the river then travel the short distance to the sea
I dream about flying and diving into cool black waters
About becoming one with the particles of our existence

Forces of Nature
When there is silence outside under the snow
I wish I could be a stone watching from below
The cold masses would provide me with peace
A state of mind I would love to increase
When there is a sandstorm arriving in a big cloud
I want to be able to withstand it alone in a crowd
The sand would surround me and rub against my skin
Like an innocent warm embrace rocking my body within
When there is a thunderstorm with great force
I want to use the lightening as an energy source
The electricity would rejuvenate my tired soul
The loud thunder would chase me out of my black whole
When a hurricane is turning the sky pitch black
I want to be outside and bathe in its violent attack
The winds would carry me to distant lands and oceans
And the rains would nurture my starved emotions

Rainbow People
The sign of the rainbow has been deliberated and set free
It represents multiple cultures and people - you see
I see the same colors as every other person on this planet
So why not open your heart and mind and free it from granite
Why would anyone care what people do behind a closed door
Love is love and regardless where you find it - you score
In this world today everyone can chose their family and friends
So be careful or you may lose a loved one forever - without sense
A family depends on love to be strong and to survive
In my book it doesn't matter who gives it as long as it thrives
I love to see couples in love walking hand in hand
We should be happy for all without judging and reprehend
I wouldn't want to discuss my sexual practices out loud
Why does the church do it although true Christianity they vowed
Reading the bible I remember faith compassion and love
So what happened to all when its differences you speak of

Stranger (Who Are You)
Life can be easy if you just play it cool
You may find a stranger like a precious jewel
Encounters with strangers are non committing
And you can go as far as you like and find fitting
For one night only you can express real love
You can let go and say things you never spoke of
Or you may encounter wild and passionate sex
That you forget tomorrow without being perplex
Well the stranger I met was almost familiar to me
So I went along with him using the hotel key
He was perfect - the one guy I always wanted
Not anticipating that my future will be haunted
At the time we met I didn't want to know his name
Now I am devastated because I made him fair game
I declined all his requests to get to know me better
And I threw out his information he left in a letter

Passions Ablaze
Cascading waterfalls caress my body and skin
Drops of water evaporate without trace within
Slumbering heat surfaces slowly and burning
Like a rumbling volcano an eruption it's yearning
Suppressed explosions become a current threat
While whispered words induce hot sticky sweat
Trembling voices make promises hard to keep later
Intentions declared obviously not needing a translator
Frank collisions are powerful with purpose and aim
Wanting everything that's offered without restrain
Flooding emotions run over without reason to control
Dancing on hot coals prolonging the inevitable goal
Playfully braking on a steep icy road going downhill
Bathing in blood with Piranhas showing an iron will
Moist rainbows shatter the great powers of thunder
While embracing the universe trying not to go under

After The Rain Downtown
Moist compassionate encounters grant forgiveness
For the omitted memories of long forgotten sins
Soft ringlets in the puddles on the sidewalk
Like momentary illusions of smiles from strangers
That will shortly disappear with the emerging sun
Fighting its way through the grey sky of the city
Streams splash playfully through concrete gutters
Searching for the glistening striped metal jewels
The gatekeepers of the cryptic tunnels below
Cleaning the asphalt of the streets now carpeted
With sparkling tiny diamonds dancing in the light
Until evaporated into clouds of steam and vapor
Windows layered with translucent white pearls
Like living little precious stones on mirrored glass
Embossing shiny snail trails on the steep facades
Then a soft wind akin to the fluttering wings of doves
Dispatches raindrops cascading as snowflakes in a storm
Amiable gentle showers leaving traces just for a second

Hiding the Edge
Running from me is tedious and often difficult
Because I see more crossroads than I should
Trying to cut the circle so it has a start and an end
I often rattle things that are strange and offend
Standing still while showering in a cold déjà vu
Thoughts at random deliver things I never knew
Hiding behind expressions and smiles untrue
Easy conversation covers the real things I do
With practice I'm the perfect magician in the light
While in darkness I find memories that I rewrite
Colorful chips of glass collected but definitely broken
Can never be surrendered to recycle for a token
Then sometimes bright mornings become dark nights
And I feel the rhythm of words spoken as last rites
Like waves of sadness shatter on sharp cliffs ahead
I struggle to find reason for the loss and the dead
Memories forgotten surface and become swiftly true
Right then I just live and smile while existing in view
