Terribly Lost

Thick mists cover the water,
mountains loom over me,
an old wooden quay
leading to nowhere.

Oh, I got so terribly lost,
I can see through the fog,
but I can't feel the cold.

Oh, dance with me
on this old wooden quay.

I take off my dress and feel the wind,
the wind that is roughing up the waters,
carressing my skin.

Come, follow me, my sweetheart,
we'll go for a swim
and we'll dance under water
in the dark.

As the waves crush over me
and I sink
and I dance,
I can see through the mist
and the dark.

Oh, I got so terribly lost.

Saturday Night

Let me introduce a new label to you. It won't be a label I'll post a lot under, but it might be interesting to some of you: Writing. I'll post some short stories, maybe essays, and in general longer texts under this label. Here is a short story I wrote for a contest once. It didn't win anything, but since the whole thing is over, I can now post it here. Enjoy.

The Long And Winding Road

The long and winding road winds up and down the lonely hills, leading me from the wild and wide sea, with stormy winds in my back, through grassy and misty lands, sky overcast, scarf wrapped around my small and slender shoulders, up and down the rocky hills, goats and sheep my only friends on this long, last journey, up into the mountains high, woods all around me, climbing up high towards my resting place. From here I shall watch the sea, the place I loved, and never shall I return.

Just Give Me One More

Just give me one more, one more cup of coffee on this dreary November morning. The wind was throwing rain drops at me like bullets from a gun. Different shades of grey as the day continues. Just one more cup of coffee to get me to the other side.
