Pain

Talking about pain
I realize
Pain has colors
I never knew
Pain was part of the rainbow

White, is searing, scorching pain
Red, is gushing, open-sore agony
Yellow, is old, common pain
Brown, is throbbing, dull, thudding ache

Black, is where you go, when you can't go anywhere else
A state of mind
When pain is common
And what you're used to

And when the pain is gone
If only temporary
And perhaps just for a moment
Everything...is blue

Breathe

Breahte, breathe
I sometimes forget
I inhale
And don't exhale

Oxygen
Abscent, lacking
Ever important
How can I forget

Your reflection
In a window
In a puddle
In a spoon

All it takes
For me to inhale
And not exhale
Merely tremble

Your skin
Ever pale
Ever smooth
Ever just beneath my fingertips

And I
Forget to breathe
In and out
No air

Breathe, breathe
I'm reminded
By your kiss
And when you breathe

Life in me

On Golden Sand

Warm grains
Fill the space
The curve of my back
As I arch into you

Sun beams add
To the heat
When you close the distance
Between our lips

Waves crash
Onto golden sand
Echoing your whispers
Your words

Of love

En första presentation/A presentation

Ja, här tänkte jag förvirra eventuella läsare med poesi både på engelska och svenska, som det faller sig. Så, antingen får ni scrolla som galningar (när det nu blivit några stycken) eller helt enkelt måckla på båda språken! :-)

Well, now, here I thought I'd confuse potential readers with poetry in both English and Swedish, when ever the mood hits me. So, either you can scroll like mad (when there are any poems to scroll among) or become bilingual! :-)
