Remembering [the mere act of destination]

Like you have fifty shades of grey, you also have a variety of remembering — some of them are colored by obsession, some distorted by willful forgetting. Some are razor-sharp, despite the pain. Remembering is the filleting knife of our life path.

I’ve forgotten how long it was. And I am also reminded of the day itself by my electronic agenda. Yes, but then – every detail is as it was and as it should be. That simply says it is my destination.

Nothing else.

Do You Remember
Do you remember the late morning
When we went back to bed,
When we found the first position
And every muscle are resting

I do remember that I already knew
It was the last time,
The last time for first positions
The last time you’ll be mine

Do you remember the scars I showed you
The stories I told you
How I always said forever
When you aksed me to stay true

Do you remember when we forgot
How to smile at each other
To believe that the other
Want only whats good for you

Do you remember the late morning
When we went back to bed,
When we found the first position
And every muscle are resting

I do remember that I already knew
It was the last time,
The last time for first positions
The last time you’ll be mine


Coming home [2]

I have a sister, a ‘real one’ of flesh and blood. I am happy with that. And I have another sister, a Norwegian sister who lives in Sweden. She is my sister as a human. Thank you, Ane.


Love songs [75]

Halo
Remember those walls I built
Well, baby they’re tumbling down
And they didn’t even put up a fight
They didn’t even make up a sound

I found a way to let you in
But I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I’ve got my angel now

It’s like I’ve been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin’
It’s the risk that I’m takin’
I ain’t never gonna shut you out

Everywhere I’m looking now
I’m surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you’re my saving grace

You’re everything I need and more
It’s written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won’t fade away

Hit me like a ray of sun
Burning through my darkest night
You’re the only one that I want
Think I’m addicted to your light

I swore I’d never fall again
But this don’t even feel like falling
Gravity can’t forget
To pull me back to the ground again

It’s like I’ve been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin’
The risk that I’m takin’
I ain’t never gonna shut you out

Everywhere I’m looking now
I’m surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you’re my saving grace

You’re everything I need and more
It’s written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won’t fade away

I can feel your halo
I can see your halo
I can feel your halo
I can see your halo

I can feel your halo
I can see your halo
I can feel your halo
I can see your halo

I can feel your halo
I can see your halo
I can feel your halo
I can see your halo


Love songs [72]

This is what Tirilleia wrote:

“The video for Song for Thrill and Tom is my most personal work to date. Developing and printing these precious memories from our 20 years together, has been the hardest – yet most healing – thing I have ever done. I hope by sharing the love, it can heal others too.

Tom was the love of my life, and this song has been – and will always be – a way for me to keep his love and light shining here with me forever.

Thank you dear Ane, for writing this song. And thank you my beloved Tom, for showing me the way. This one’s for you.”

I bow my head.

Song For Thrill And Tom
He met her in the morning sun
He squinted his eyes ‘cause the back-light was strong
This is what she does, you know, she blinds us
To hide her brilliance

She’s standing with her back towards the sun
Minding her state of oblivion
This is what she does, you know, she blinds us
To save her intemperate heart

He met her in the morning sun and she remembers
Every fiber in the air
It felt like forever, touched with
Universal beauty
And all she wanted, was to disappear

He could never leave her to be gone
He told her, “Please, just lie down
And let my light run through you as easily
As sound waves from a song”

He met her in the morning sun
He laid there with her until the afternoon
“It’s funny how things go”, she said
“I blind you, and you lead my way instead”
He met her in the morning sun


Love songs [70]

By Your Side
You think I’d leave your side baby
You know me better than that
You think I’d leave you down
When you’re down on your knees
I wouldn’t do that
I’ll tell you you’re right when you want
And if only you could see into me

Oh, when you’re cold
I’ll be there
Hold you tight to me

mnpndrflctn050520

When you’re on the outside baby
And you can’t get in
I will show you
You’re so much better than you know
When you’re lost and you’re alone
And you can’t get back again
I will find you
Darling and I will bring you home
And if you want to cry
I am here to dry your eyes
And in no time, you’ll be fine

You think I’d leave your side baby
You know me better than that
You think I’d leave you down
When you’re down on your knees
I wouldn’t do that

Oh, when you’re cold
I’ll be there
Hold you tight to me

Oh, when you’re low
I’ll be there
By your side baby


Love songs [66]

Be open. Hold on to Love. Never let trust be spoiled. Inside there’s your Truth.

Trust
I see
Only bright open fields behind you
The sunlight shimmers off the crown of your head
You look at me with a soft face
And I
Throw myself into the open air
Every particle will catch me there
Like in a dream I trust in this
In you, in yes
In you, in yes
In you, in yes
In you, in yes
In you, in yes
In you, in yes

And I
I can sense your hand in mine
Intertwined, I remember you
Holding on
It runs right through
I trust in this

hppnptr

In you, in yes
In you, in yes
In you, in yes
In you, in yes
In you, in yes
In you, in yes

I trust in yes

And I
Throw myself into the open air
Every particle will catch me there
Like in a dream I trust in this
In you, in yes
In you, in yes
In you, in yes

I trust in yes


Clear [no disguise]

After 23 days, incidentally, I stumble again on this simple song. It strikes me how well, in its simplicity, reflects my yearning, what I miss, what I see and hope for the ones I love.

All We Want Is Love
On and on
We wait for it
And move forward
All we want is love
It breaths for us
It feeds us even though
We don’t really know it
All we want is love
All we want is love
All we want is love
It’s as light as butterflies
And when we miss it
We fantasize
All we want is love
It wakes us up
Early in the morning
Or helps us sleep
All through the night
All we want is love
All we want is love
All we want is love
We give up our names for it
We arrange parades fighting for it
We buy castles and go to get it
And we say through countless songs
All we want is love
All we want is love
We reflect ourselves in it
To make sure
That we exist
All we want is love

It don’t matter where I lay [all my tears washed away]

I’m not religious. Still I long to be known. Still I hope there’s love in the end. Then my tears have a reason. Home.

When I go don’t cry for me
In my fathers arms I’ll be
The wounds this world left on my soul
Will all be healed and I’ll be whole
Sun and moon will be replaced
With the light of Jesus’ face
And I will not be ashamed
For my savior knows my name
It don’t matter where you bury me
I’ll be home and I’ll be free
It don’t matter where I lay
All my tears be washed away
Gold and silver blind the eye
Temporary riches lie
Come and eat from heaven’s store
Come and drink and thirst no more
So weep not for me my friend
When my time below does end
For my life belongs to him
Who will raise the dead again
It don’t matter where you bury me
I’ll be home and I’ll be free
It don’t matter where I lay
All my tears be washed away


Change [22]

Don’t fight your own demons. It all starts with one.
