Looking at the abyss
the grass is greener
on the other side
the sky is closer
there's my horizon.
I'm slipping
I'm falling
I'm holding on to the night
I'm on the edge of the abyss
And I can't fight.

"Is Your Love That Deep"

i've been around
and i've wasted my time
everything i have
is only mine
i'm willing to share if i find someone
someone who could be the one

i'm looking for someone
i don't know who
for all i know it might be you
i'm looking for someone
who don't come cheap
i'm looking for love
is your love that deep?

i've been alive
like a million years
i'm living alone
living in fear
i'm trying to change so i see the light
of the one who could set me right

i'm looking for someone
i don't know who
for all i know it might be you
i'm looking for someone
who don't come cheap
i'm looking for love
is your love that deep?

time is passing by me
don't have the years to wait
if i wait too long
it'll be too late

i'm looking for someone
i don't know who
for all i know it might be you
i'm looking for someone
who don't come cheap
i'm looking for love
is your love that deep?

"Annihilation or Grace"

when they looked down at us
they saw us afraid
afraid of what comes
of the plans that we made
there's no peace on earth
only anger and hate
for the gifts that were brought
we'll just have to wait

until we grow up and become a better human race
until we grow up and look past
the color of the human face
we stand on the brink
of Annihilation or grace
can we hold on?
can we hold on?

when they looked down at us
they saw us at war
foolishly we squander
the peace that we fought for
there's no faith on earth
only anger and hate
for the gifts that were brought
we'll just have to wait

until we grow up and become a better human race
until we grow up and look past
the color of the human face
we stand on the brink
of Annihilation or grace
can we hold on?
can we hold on?

Blown like a leaf
on the wings of an angel
no past and no future
no fears and no pain
towards the horizon
I'm carried I'm flown
beyond that wind
I don't want to know

'Waiting'

waiting for the dice to be cast
for the fall through the ages
waiting for red lettering
for the fly of the angel
waiting for the ultimate
for the forbidden fruit
waiting for the horizon
for truth to be told
waiting for hell
for heaven or both

oh my, what an imaginative title... I know why I don't usually do them :P

Really nice Carola. I would love to write a poem, but I"m so much into painting nowadays. Such a cliché word but it's nice to see some work of a fellow 'artist';) Or aren't we? (artists, that is) We are all unique and artists in some way...

"The Final Fly"


The days are getting shorter
It’s a bitter dying light
As the final fly of summer
Takes a lonely winter flight
The things that once were lively
Are slowly finding death
The visitors are leaving
On the next train headed west
the coming days loom frigid
For the warmth forsaken soul
The closing theme is playing
In the lonely winter cold
Maybe some fine morning
Spring will come again
Till then darkness rules the winter
Goodbye to you my friend

Cold weather has returned to my part of the world.

When you walk on the edge of the cliff
eternity at your feet
when time ruffles your hair
and no sun in the sky
when you're closer to hell
than to heaven
when the door closed too tight

when wolves howl in the distance
when butterflies die
when there's no tomorrow forever
roses covered in spines
when all you do is random
and all you think is night

when the dreams are less than shadows
and the smoke has nothing to hide
when there's no future or present
then you can fly.

"In These Times"

i think that someone said
i think i heard it said
i think i've heard it all before
i lie awake at night
dreaming with my eyes open wide
wishing i could go back for more

but time won't let me
see you again
and time won't let me
touch you again
times are lonely
without you...in these times
and time is nothing
but a lock on a door
time won't let me
come back for more
times are lonely
without you...in these times

i think i used to know
something i used to know
i think i knew it all before
i see the stars go by
wishing they would let me lie
but they can't help me anymore

but time won't let me
see you again
and time won't let me
touch you again
times are lonely
without you...in these times
and time is nothing
but a lock on a door
time won't let me
come back for more
times are lonely
without you...in these times

Thank you Carola and Dan. These poems reminded me of Anette. Not her passing, but the good times.
