The Tree

The Tree


A hazy tree in the fog,
peeps through the door
of another world; I wonder,
Who is it looking for?

Nothing to say

Nothing to say

Once
I wore a color.
And spoke in signs to you
Eyes, lips, hands, skin,
Hold, press, fold, spin,
I made signs, I danced too.
I had so much to say.  
I waited for a while,
For a nod, or a smile,
But longer, I couldn't stay.

Once 
I sent a pigeon.
In its tiny feet I tied
Some cryptic words,
One moon, two lovers;
I let the key to my message hide.
I had something to say. 
I waited many days,
For a solving cryptic phrase,
But longer, I couldn't stay. 

Once 
I shared a dream.
Of dirty yellow flowers. 
I labored complex thought,
To seek, and then sought
A color that was ours. 
I had this thing to say. 
I waited months, friend,
For you to comprehend, 
But longer, I couldn't stay. 

Once
I wrote a song.
Alongside my throbbing heart
I placed it in your care;
Less plain or more dare
I couldn't be for my part.
I had one thing to say. 
I waited for a year,
For an echo to appear,
But longer, I couldn't stay.

Once 
I bared my soul.
And let you come inside
Where I was all alone. 
Weak, scared,  so prone,
I let go of my pride.
I said all I had to say. 
I waited for a moment,
To hear your judgment,
And longer, I couldn't stay.

Now
I hear you call. 
I never did reach you. 
All I said was in vain.
Too cryptic, at times too plain;
Believe me, I wish to start anew, 
But I have nothing to say. 
I have spent all my arts,
Songs, dreams, souls, hearts, 
Things I have given away. 
I cannot find a thing to say.
Though I try, I can't compose
A word, a thought, a rhyme, a prose;
Words I have given away.
I have only nothing to say. 

Rouse! King of Rohan!

For those, who do not remember their Tolkien very well, Theoden was the king of Rohan under the spell of Saruman, eventualy "cured" by Gandalf's white wizardry and appeals to Theoden's own sensibility lying behind the spell.


Rouse! King of Rohan!


Rouse! Rouse!
King of Rohan!
Rouse Theoden!
Herugrim Calls!

While you sleep, Shadow grows

The gems you earned,
The steeds you dared,
The land you served,
The people you cared -

Lie naked; And Shadow knows

Rouse! Rouse!
King of Rohan!
Rouse Theoden!
Herugrim Calls!

While you sleep, Shadow grows

Men fear, boys hide -
No one gathers Hammer's Horn!
Hearts faint, heroes give,
Rohan weakens, Shadow's strong!

No one leads, none follows

Rouse! Rouse!
King of Rohan!
Rouse Theoden!
Herugrim Calls!

While you sleep, Shadow grows

While you sleep soldiers scatter;
Rouse to Gather! Guide! Unite!
While you sleep, Shadow wins -
Rouse to Battle! Rouse to fight!

Hear! Rohan calls old Heroes

Rouse for Oaths!
Rouse to Keep!
Rouse for Honor!
Rouse to Lead!

Rouse for Love!
Rouse for Need!
Rouse for Duty!
Rouse to Lead!


Rouse King!
Rouse Now!

Lost Battles

Lost Battles

My walls strict,
My sentries held -
Oh Shame!
What surprise!
A moment tricked,
We were felled -
Despair came
In disguise.

Is there a God

Is there a God?  

Let's let this query leave,
"Is there a God?",
We shall never apperceive
Both motivations are flawed;

You tremble in Fear and ask,
"How couldn't He possibly Be!",
I take my Reason to the task,
And wonder, "Well, why should He?"

Leaving Eldorado (Eldorado IX)

Leaving Eldorado (Eldorado IX)

My broken heart broke again
Meeting such unwelcome sight,
It couldn't bear the biting pain,
It chipped away, bite by bite.

I take to journey while it dies,
I wouldn't stay its passing rites.
Although when I close my eyes
Eldorado still invites.

Eldorado Found (Eldorado VIII)

Eldorado Found (Eldorado VIII)

My broken heart breaks again
On meeting its unwelcome sight,
I holler loud at the pain
As its teeth of scorn bite,

With such disdain it denies
My appeals and my rights,
- And yet when I close my eyes ..
Eldorado still invites.

Friend, will you find me?

Friend, will you find me?

I did not tell anyone
Of these waves I found;
No one knows if I live
Or if I have drowned.

Whether I still await,
Whether I have crossed;
Whether I found a road,
Whether I am lost.

I alone know the depths -
I have reached the ground.
The waves made me a path
The waves made me drown.

This path twists and turns
Perhaps I got lost.
I was to stop somewhere -
That place I have crossed.

I run this unknown path
Drowning deeper dark.
Friend, will you find me?
I walk the Primrose Path.

Longing

Longing

You are so beautiful
My heart hurts
With longing.
It falls.
Stops.
Dies.
Breathes.
Lives.
Longs.
In agony.
You are so beautiful
My heart beats
A little slowly.
