Once upon a time,
There was us.
In the glistening yellow,
In the drowing grey.

There was us.
At the table of the biggest brunches,
And the slowest lunches.

Golgotha

There stood them three:
One fair,
One dark,
One golden.

Then nailed them three:
One proud,
One sad,
One melancholy.

My mother loves art

"My mother loves art"
He said from behind me.
Infront of us a man in a painting,
Who was suddenly smiling.

Other Girls

I've always seen other girls like they were in another world

One where they never felt odd like I did,

A world where everything weird was long forlorn,

But I was the only one who thought this indeed.

Heroes

I never knew my father,
But I had heard from my mother,
That he was the best hero there ever was,
With his smile he ended wars.

Wedding bells you see

Rang so loud this morning.

Open up those doors,

Let her walk in slow.

Everyone watches as her face glows,

There she is. My wife by tomorrow.

When Man meets Woman

When man meets woman, it's fate as far as the eye can see,

Its destiny wielded by all forces earth, fire and sea.

Ice block sold here

‘Ice block sold here’,

Marks the gate,

Red and black with spikes on the fence,

Scared men away,

Good thing I’m not a man then.

Buy me a rose

[1 min read]

I once met a lady with an amazing soul,
She had  blue eyes and a wonderful smile,
She had that kind of love that could fill any hole,
She had that laugh that resounded in your head for a while.

'There was no way I was letting her go' I thought,
'She was the one' I also thought.
And everytime she smiled over her shoulder,
She looked a lifetime younger.

One day while we drank cocoa on a blissful Sunday 5pm,
She leaned back into the crook of my arm,
And slightly played with her dress hem,
"Buy me a rose please dear dear Max."

Of course I replied "I'll get you one, is that all you want?"
She nodded and smiled.
"I'd give you the moon if that's what you want."
"I'll take it", she said with yet another smile.

The next day I bought her the rose,
And a necklace coloured moonlight blue.
But then, the Lord called her home.
I mourned for a decade,
Her going was all too soon.

And even though I  got married  a decade later,
Every night as I laid in bed I could still hear her,
"Buy me a rose Max."
That's all she ever asked.
