Poetry by [Linderel].
That song
That song you sing.
What is it?
Did you do it yourself?
It's so beautiful.
Can you teach it to me?
My mind lives in fantasy
and is in need of company.
Please continue singing.
You stole my heart with that song.
Lullaby
Little, sleep now
Little, go now
Go to another world
travel to a world of dreams
dreams that once were lost
Sweet dreams, delightful
full of happiness and joy
No more tears
tears that you cried
Go now and sleep
rest in beauty and peace
Farewell, my beloved child
Dragon's daughter
Wings, claws and scaly skin.
But the body of a human,
the mind of a human
and the heart of a dragon.
No one wants to know her.
No one wishes to love her.
No, they do not even want
to see her.
She is alone.
A dragon's daughter.
Fate of the last unicorn
Once she was beautiful
full of life and joy
Once she was with her friends
all gathered in the field to play
Now all that is lost
The memory of her galloping
through the forest to me
her soft muzzle touching my hand
is all that will remain
Her clear white horn would shine in the night
like a star in the sky
But they have all died
in the hands of humans
and she is the last one
my beloved companion
Only moments from now
she will lie down on the ground
close her eyes, sigh, and simply
fade away
For that is the fate
of the last unicorn
Lady Wintertime
A cold winter breeze
brushing my cheeks
whispering beautiful songs in my ears
playing with the white locks
of my frosty hair
My pale blue skin
glows faintly in the night
Snowflakes drifting
down for my delight
small, delicate fairy wings
fluttering as they come
I raise my head toward the skies
smiling to the stars
My heart sings and I rejoice
for it is winter again
And I am the Lady Wintertime

Endless nights
Seven times of the letter D
mark the paths of your life
seven beings of immortality
endlessly, tirelessly
wander through infinity
Without them
there would be only emptiness
endless nights
Dream your way to Destruction
Desire everything you see
Despair when Death finally comes for you
But know that your life
lived in Delirium
raised a smile to Destiny's lips

Memory
In the break of dawn
silent whispers
and soundless steps
echo in my memory
My eyes flutter shut
I feel cold, numb
my limbs I can barely move
Flashes of red
fire through my mind
I am bewitched
To stay here forever
my love, that is my only wish
to stay here forever
beneath this icy white blanket
Just to remember
what it was like
to be with you

Nightside of Eden
There is a place
where no light shines
where the creatures of the dark gather
and a good deed of any kind
is considered a crime to punish with death
There is a place
below and above
and all around us
inside, outside
everywhere
A place called
nightside of Eden

Black dreams
Scarlet butterflies
and birds coloured raven black
flying towards the horizon
that shines a deep, angry purple
Skeleton dancers
under a pale white moon
painting a brilliant, terrifying dream
spreading their wings of a bat
with fairylike grace
too beautiful to watch
A play of the darkest night
is here before your eyes
horrified and blinding
Blinding with the scarlet butterflies
of your own blood
- 15.07.2004
Dancer in the dark
Here
in my own little place
I move gracefully
without a sound
a joy in my steps
To this music
that echoes in my mind
I dance
with no worry
of tomorrow
I see nothing
but the stars
so does this make me
a dancer in the dark?
- 16.08.2004
Deepest wish
Had I a fairy godmother
who could grant me
my one deepest wish
I would not ask
for money and riches
I would not have myself
all the insignificant little things
I've always wanted
I would not plead her
to make you fall in love with me
No, such things I cannot do
I only would wish
for whatever makes you happy

Seasons of life
Time passes by
day after day
from my window I see
the leaves turning gold
and I know
autumn is coming.
Silently I wonder
will there be a day
sometime in this world
when I can awake
curled up in your arms
and you would be my spring
in my life of eternal winter.
Perhaps some day
you would bring me summer
and you would be my gentle sun
shining down on me.

Sleeping beauty
Amidst the clouds
we lie
hand in hand
Your sleeping face
so beautiful in rest
is filling my head
my entire vision
and I'm bewildered
awed beyond my comprehension
how such an angelic creature
came to be mine
This sleeping beauty
here beside me
on this golden morning
- 11.10.2004
Stay
Standing on the edge
you hold on to your life
between anxious gasps
desperately trying to solve
what is it that keeps you alive
You know of pain
of suffering
everything around you
seems to crumble
and you take a faltering step
Don't go there!
Someone pleads you
not to go down that path
You don't want to be there
at the end of that road
Don't enter that abyss
save it for when it's your time
to see the face
of Death in the darkness

Illusion of belonging
Moments flashing by
in rapid moves
bare white arms and legs
and intoxicating, sweet smells
I'm lost in this moment
swept into
a fragile illusion
of us, you and me
together
in what seems to be
yesterday
or centuries ago
no, wait
what is this
it wasn't meant to be that way
You belong in the distant past
while I...
I
am
trapped
in between

Growing lunacy
There's a fire inside my head
I can't extinguish
say, what do you know
about heaven and hell and the universe
Is that flower there burning?
I think I might've seen
a tree come to life
right before my eyes
springing from the ground
growing, growing, growing
reaching for the skies
Is it you I feel
all around me
breathing, laughing, screaming
whispering secrets into my ears?
Where's the lamb
the innocent little thing
watch out, there's a wolf
don't you see
it's right there in front of me
I know what this is
I'm going insane
give me just a moment
and then I'll be no more
- 08.02.2005
Call of the night
Feeling the wind
gently caress my face
I surrender to the fading light
plunge into the darkness
of my own soul
And singing to the moon
I'm once again stripped
of all restraints
on my fierce, wild heart
I'm free to run
to answer the call of the night
- 27.05.2005
Blue-eyed enigma
Gazes touch
for a fleeting moment
but I can't read you
and I have no choice
but to escape
Eyes of a deep, dark blue
that I could drown in
if I just had the courage
to look at you and hold
your eyes locked into mine
Say something, anything
to make me understand you
such a contradicting personality
I wonder who you really are
behind those glasses and the joke-maker's mask
I want to know you
to laugh with you
cry with you
stay with you and hold you
Guess I'm starting to love you
- 12.06.2005
Soft rain
See with your eyes
the beauty of the world
let the sun blind you and howl to the moon
even though all things
must once crumble
naught is forever lost
Meet me under the stars
in the endless garden
where soft rain falls
I'll make a vow
right here and now
to never give up
and I shall join the celestial dance
Through the water
I see a million worlds
and every single drop
is an untaken possibility
Come outside
spread your arms like wings
and spin 'till everything is one
blurred together in this soft rain
and laugh
like you never have before
because when the rain falls
softly, melodiously
dreams are right within your grasp
- 28.06.2005
Coal black wings
Yearning to the sky
my soul burns with this desire
to fly high, higher
be free like never before
- but these wings of mine
coal black, torn and ugly
caked with dirt and blood
can't carry me
weak, powerless
against the winds that blow
they are only bitter irony
these coal black wings
meant to be bright and pure
- 29.06.2005
Sunburn
Crimson gold glow of the sky
painted inside my eyelids
even as I escape the world
with a weary sigh on my lips
Today my skin
is tender after the lick of flames
and my smile
strained false pained
Your voice
is like the most beautiful music
in a way that can't be understood
giving me life and robbing me of it
And if you don't know
what you do to me
and if my voice does not make your heart beat
I still wish to listen
Sun has died again today
but my burned skin will not heal
before it beats down on me again
in all its terrifying cruel glory
- 16.07.2005
Grip of terror
Ripped down my defenses
completely
I can't even see you
trespassing
on the land of my dreams
without trembling
in fear
so many years after
- 07.08.2005
Tormented; unlearn
Nails upon soft skin
taste of iron in your mouth
hands lined with faint traces of scars
phantom words stabbing your chest
the walls that crumbled
a long time ago
standing under a cascade
of scalding hot water
to wash it all away
- 07.08.2005
Child
Red hair
like the colour
of a wild one's fur
love tattooed
on her left shoulder
to say "I'm still standing"
collared
black velvet and a golden bell
she owns herself
look into blue-green eyes
and tell me
what you see
- 07.08.2005
Destination
Burned my eyes
with tears
opening the window to freedom
I fall and watch the flow
- 07.08.2005
Muted
My voice was taken away
so I could not speak
and it was a conscious choice
Yet my heart breaks every time
I raise my head to sing
only to discover
there are no words for me.
And I hear the sounds of nature
with more meaning
than ever before
they are my song now
the world sings my melody
I compose the music of my life
with my tears and poems and love
hoping that one day
I shall be given my voice back
so I can sing my music out loud
and never fear living again
- 20.08.2005
Renaissance of one
Come meet me
on the night of my second birth
when I leave everything behind
and become whole again
for it is you
who has made this possible
awakening my strength
from its long fitful sleep
When the last summer sunset
paints the sky with colours
I shall take the final step
towards a new beginning
- 21.08.2005
Believer of hope
Butterfly soar on the sky
delicate wings ripped by the wind
go home where you belong
into the fields of grass and bloom
Burned by the flame or
killed by a hand
this beauty never dies
and only sometimes possible to understand
Flutter shut your eyes and sigh
make a difference
open your heart, open your mind
let not the light fade from your smile
Impossible things come with a cost
every magic some day weakens
reality's cruel claws will not let you fly
but don't give up and always dream
- 02.09.2005
Crystalline
I'm like an object
made of glass
sitting on your windowsill
fragile, yet strong
see-through
but complex
look inside me
and see a land of possibilities
let me open your eyes
for I show
the hidden rainbow
that resides within everything
- 12.09.2005
White in D minor
Breathe on frosty glass
under fingertips
blue with cold
life force drying out
with every single sigh
the last winter is here
north wind
sings a melody
meant for the weary and wistful
telling of days
gone long ago
and of rare sheltered nights
lying down
on a bed of hay and dried leaves
closing tired eyes
listening
to the very last notes
of a hammering heart
slowly
fading
away
- 12.09.2005
Emotion/masochism
Such a bittersweet pain
beating inside my chest
I feel it
under the palm of my hand
blood still flows
from the ragged-edged wound
pulsing in rhythm with my heart
so no amount of tears
can erase these stains
I know but I cannot change.
- 18.09.2005
Heretic
Holding the keys to heaven
a heavy burden
on frail shoulders
he searches for his destiny
a road to be followed
to have a meaning
even the most devoted servant
can turn against his lord
when chased too far
- 19.09.2005
Desire awakened
Silently prowling
in the recesses of my mind
undeniable temptation
the colour of cherries
creeping up
leisurely humiliating
taste of your skin
faintly reminiscent of fresh plums
lingering on my lips
whether this is right or wrong
insignificant
I step into sensuality
- 20.09.2005
Dawn/ing of spirit/
A young morning
stretches its wings
and sings into misty rain
hope that once was lost
has been found again
trickling from a tiny fountain
smiling to the sun
born from the ocean in flames
we rise to face ourselves
- 21.09.2005
Solidarity abound
Dividing the world
into classes
good and evil
black and white
us and everyone
else
when in truth
we are all grey
with multi-coloured hearts
what
are you thinking?
- 22.09.2005
Treasure
Shy mouth
curving in
the faintest of smiles
that begins to spread
until eyes not only
twinkle
but shine with laughter
rare sight
a touch of happiness
- 23.09.2005
Remorse
Strings broken
snapped forcefully
porcelain face stained
crying thick crimson tears
doll's lifeless dream lifted
oblivion never before such sweet state
bliss without emotion
- 03.10.2005
Sky chaser
Earth-bound
silenced dreams
await any chance
Can we reach faraway suns?
Star gazer's
lonesome eyes
pierce through parallels
longing answers behind infinity
- 08.10.2005
Between
Am I a freak to your eyes
when I can't decide
--more than anything else
only confused and lost
in the face of requirement--
is it really
that important
knowing one's place in
the biology of this system
Applying social pressure
on those who differ
masses suffocate the hesitant
What does it really matter
--is it so hard to understand?
I am neither Adam nor Eve.
- 25.10.2005
November
Frosty nights
and moody weather
the transition point
to a long slumber
arrives yet again
In nostalgic recollection
a cold wind caresses bare trees
ground blanketed
with greying leaves
brilliance united with darkness
Snowdrop faeries
dance in the clouds
eagerly awaiting
to fly down
the world holds its breath in tones of shimmering blue
Hollow eyed
the spirit of Autumn
makes way for the burning ice
conquering her into Winter
- 05.11.2005
Vertigo
Like a ropedancer
afraid of heights
standing frozen in darkness
s h i v e r i n g
simply waiting to lose
the frail balance
and through the spotlight
fall
down
finally s h a t t e r .
- 08.11.2005
Inconsistency
Curse my restless
fickle heart
it knows not
how to stay unattached
casting searching rays
even as struggling
to heal yesterday's wounds
The need to fall
from flight only begun
forcing to break a vow
made to protect myself.
- 19.11.2005
Condemned
Unseeing marble eyes
staring into nothingness
You're so silent, dollface
why don't you talk to me?
My hands are painted
the most lovely shade of crimson
And I weep for us
the unspoken beauty between our souls
Why did you have to say
what you did, so coldly?
If not for you
we would still be alive tomorrow
- 24.11.2005
Hollow piety
Abiding by the ten commandments
without question
taking on whatever the Bible
and the Father say
with no thoughts of your own
no moment's hesitation
You blindly follow a God
believe in Him
even though you never found
a Lord for yourself
only walking in the footsteps
of those before you
never stopping to listen to your heart
- 24.11.2005
The silent muse
Morpheus (my master)
painter of fantasies
let me stand under your wing
teach me everything of sleep's (lethal) might
and hold open the door
that leads me astray
Morpheus (my saviour)
soother of souls
allow me tears in your kingdom
sing me lullabies of old (forgotten) times
and provide the shaky support
that bruises my palms
Morpheus (my love)
weaver of dreams
take me into your dark embrace
show me lands of unknown (savage) beauty
and grant the fragile visions
that preserve my (in)sanity
- 25.11.2005
Prayer to the Mother
Gaia, sacred mother of Earth
hear my song
borne of soil and wind
shaped by fire
smoothed by water
come to me in a dream
Twining together
with branches of trees
breathing in perfect harmony
with the restless land itself
I sing my praise to you
- 27.11.2005
Rapture
Tender hands
and loving eyes
kisses on the temple,
so soft
You have given me wings,
my darling
with you I feel so light
I can finally fly
- 29.12.2005
Stumble!
