i live the same thing
over and over:

mánudagur
þriðudagur
miðvikudagur

... and it goes on

while you
you're out in the woods
living your dreams in open air
while i sit waiting for mine to become possible
learning languages
preparing
preparing
repeating
repeating
over and
over again

and sometimes i pray that you'll take me with you
take me there
don't leave me because i miss you
when you're gone for a weekend
or two
and i am here tending the garden
and waiting
waiting for something to come along
waiting for time to pass
but then when it has left my fingers i miss it too

can we stop the clocks and be together?
can the sun shine on this place?
can the waiting forever be over
and all the time stay in it's place?
I plant trees, then forget; never turn back.
I am not a rooted lover, plunderer or penitent,
just a wayfarer, dissolving cloud, call me a seeker,
still they blame me when the trees doesn't bear fruit!
Plant the tree yourself, for the pleasure of it,
better do not  wait for the fruit, water it a bit,
wayfarers who follow may need it, more than you
see the world moving on with a smile, dissolve cloud..

aching
for the sound of
your voice

and the words
that will assure me

I am no longer

alone.

Sometimes I
I just don't want to do
The things I have to -

My heart's pinned to the sheets
I feel like
I feel 1000 rocks ontop of me

So I
I'll just stay here in bed
Staring up

Finding patterns on the walls
Maybe my heartbeat
Will clear itself up
Sudden rush, so windy
a golden bird is flying
wings unfold, you want to hold
some kind of love undying
soon lands your head
in flowery clouds
and disappears
some sorrow
in skies of sun
layers of love
bled into
gradient
