    In every loss, in every lie
    In every truth that you'd deny
    And each regret and each goodbye
    was a mistake too great to hide
  • The Muse Who Guarded The Light

    Sunday, 28 June 2009

    In my silence, my quiet solitude, I have perhaps written one of my best writings to date.

    Its true when they say that writers often comes out with the best muses when they're in a state of inner turmoil(:

    I present

    The Man Who Guarded The Light

    I was born and raised by the sea; shy yet proud,
    Learnt to stay away from the crowd
    In my home, my lighthouse
    101 steps, round and down
    October night, one night in the town
    Can change one's life into eternity

    All I could see her eyes,
    We got caught in the moment all of the night
    Taken beyond all lines,
    In silence leaving them all behind

    She had found the sails that following night
    The town was getting way too small
    She promised to be mine
    Forever; for that one night

    Moments, passion, small defeats
    Concealed emotions, found in me
    You gave life to a brand new me

    Crossing the wintry fields,
    The first hour of morning light
    Warmed by the flame inside,
    The lasting memory of that endless night

    I never had a chance to stop what hit me
    What broke my bones and mauled me
    After hours of deep, unwilling sleep
    In a cold shelter as I fell back into the dark..

    A nightmare awakes me, blinking light
    There's no guide, blind ships in the night
    Oh blood red moon, eat away the night
    Darkness covers my lonely soul,
    No one to feed the dying light

    Good morn', oh dreadful day,
    I prayed the moon had lit the sea instead of me
    For the sails of night,
    Please tell me everything is alright

    My voice in the room broke the silence,
    Everybody killed me with their eyes
    What I was to hear made the people cry,
    Impossible for me to keep the tears inside

    "All on board the White Pearl have died,
    Coastal reef have tolled their lives
    And you are the light of the night.."

    One thing, I remember, before I fell on the ground
    Although I never his face,
    A name was inked in his arm
    The family name stated I had seen before
    Written on her front door

    Love can be like poetry of demons
    or maybe God loves complex irony?

    "Silence in the courthouse!"
    A presence in the room, we both could feel
    The brethren of that woman and me

    All on board the White Pearl have died,
    Coastal reef have tolled their lives
    While I was the guide light...
    Back in my tower, run, run, run
    Light is out, I hope to see
    Black oceans beneath rise and swallow me

    One step will take me back inside, another sees my end
    No one can love a man who guarded the light,
    Flaming eyes I must confront before I am stated free

    Defining innocence is hell, after all that has past
    Building new walls inside,
    my eternal night

    Although they took my heart and dried me up
    Sometimes I still bleed

    Show me the way
    The light will show me a way on the grisly reefs
    Too many dead ends I see

    No soul can save me
    The respect I lost, the measure of a man

    10 000 steps down, round and round
    One night at the town and I'm hell bound
    Black oceans beneath come and swallow me

    All on the board White Pearl had died,
    Coastal reef come claim my life
    Black oceans beneath come and swallow me

    My little tower, seal my fate
    Help me pay back, end their hate
    Black oceans beneath come and swallow me
    One direction, down, down, down
    Pitch black night for my old town
    Black oceans beneath shall now swallow me
