In Memory, (if time stood still)

In Memory of Past Summer

If time stood still
For dreams and thoughts
We never would succeed
They are to fulfill
What wish has brought
The living way a creed

We have no time
For sorrow's pain
That drifts here anyway
Young in their prime
Seeking in vain
And gone the coming day

All learn to know
And build on hope
That never perhaps was
It vanishes and goes
Life loses rope
All dreams away then pass

We will get by with our love and our dreams
There is no reason to think otherwise
Playing along with hearts or so it seems
All what we do is love in a disguise
One time we are rough the other we are smooth
Feelings through errors and a turning trial
Everything so simple and plain in its truth
No hurts or disappointments for a while
Then it happens as clouded rainy days
Gray mornings come back again here
Dark sided corners and fate turning ways
Never clearly seen but always too near
What is the truth in all what has been done
With memories fading and the present soon gone

iii

There is a wish in everything
And dreams they often come true
But how to keep them
Who knows how
This is all up to me and you

Remember this when days go by
And memories are here
We know how we all did try
And gained just another year

There is a wish in everything
And to have dreams to build on
We must keep wishes
Clean and clear
Before each of them is gone

Hope is like opening clear sky
With colors and true flair's
And like it has the clouds that fly
And sometimes shatters tears

Remember this for it is so
As your life goes you will know

Close your eyes and find the moon
It's coming to you full of closeness
The ripeness of roots eager and fresh
It's coming through the soil soon

All old is new or into oblivion gone
Dried out in obstacles and prunes
What is left is knot less and done
For voices are chanting different tunes

Tomorrow sails ahead of dreams
That we found in footsteps long ago
And time is the ever evolving stream
The starry nights that eternally glow

So is the moon and the owl of wisdom
Beholder you see what in your eyes bloom

The arrow you sent
I'll give it back
With more meanings

If truth be found
In your heart full of secrets
You gave me
With warm feelings

The depth of the sky
Does not know these feelings
But I alone
When I learn to open
Your palm

It's love
Perhaps blind in rosy colors
For feelings
Quiver their shades

I'm not going to be won over
A poem is a poem
To me
With words that color my mind
It's poetry soft and sweet
To me
It's poetry sad that bleeds
And no one can stop it
From reaching my soul
Freshness is not due to time
Or words that rime
But to the concept of mind
And so is poetry
It sets emotions free
The closeness of a open heart
Which from words they speak
To give a courage to weak
And poetry I give all this
For that is what the concept is
The free and unhindered way
That emotion alone could lay

vii

Be dreamy and remember
Summer flowers
And the early morning dew
When dawn
Bears its lonely hours
Just alone with you

Remember the blue light
That came with first gleam
Of daybreak
The morning bright
After a night dream
Close to you

Be dreamy and remember
Feelings you once bore
For they were true
Inside there
In your remembrance
Of all you had
Close to you

Like the tones
That fade away
The sound
Becomes unclear
The melody
You once played
Alone with you
And near

viii

Oh shade away you fading rose
For summer now is done,
I gladly accepted your color dose
But now your shades are gone.

Like yesterdays in memories
Are all you greenish leaves,
And so are all the blooming trees
In autumn one now grieves.

The yellow color you give me
Is for this times occasion,
Rest your beauty in fades of thee
Until new spring of season.

I'll wait and have your joy once more
When days are bright and clear,
To see you bloom on bedding floor
Once more to have you near.

Oh fade away my dearly bloom
I'll see you again next year,
When once more becomes your groom:
The summer we both will share.

When death comes
With face full of sorrow
In the morning when the sky is blue
In the dawn before day
It will not make you suffer

When death comes
Unclear into the night
It is lonely like a full moon
Pale and blue
Hidden behind darkly clouds
Which pass by

When death comes
And you mourn what time
Has given you of hopes
There are shadows
Full of mirage
You did not see before
Or ever since

When death comes
With white cloth to hide your sorrow

So soft
Your lust for life
The air
Of your deep soul
Trust has a meaning
In life

Forgiveness
Has no meaning
If there is no
Complete trust

Your skin
Your hair
Your everything
Like the ground
I walk on
Like the water
I drink

I love you
It is not enough
To say these words
Because experiencing them
Is all

So soft
Your lust for life
Difficult breathing
Throughout our entire lives

I'm the voice of my heart
Through me my love will be
The first the end and the start
Whatever I fail not to see

The moments I have are frail
Each gone by another day
Love is my hope and my style
Until I go back my way

Bear with me mighty and weak
Those who'll speak and will not
We have resemblance to seek
Keep at the hope you've got

Go Back
