Dancing Girl

Sparks are flying through
the warm summer night.
The flames are dancing,
reaching for the sky,
trying to touch it.
The stars and the moon
shine silver light on your
sun-burned skin,
on the ebony hair,
the masses of colourful cloth.
The flames shine on your
smooth skin,
golden light on the dark caresses
of sun.
The music plays around
your hips,
around your strong frame,
the notes lifting your beauty
up to the sky.
And your bare feet
stepping strongly on the dust
and soil,
dancing away the night
and the worries of the day,
proclaiming the freedom of your soul.

All the Universes

Light travels fast, light travels far, come and travel with me and with light... far, far away... to the farthest realm... darkness surrounds me, but soon the sky lights up with millions and millions of stars and I am not alone. Oh, sweet cosmic abyss, embrace my poor soul and make me immortal, so I can see... so I can feel... all the universes... all the universes out here... swimming through time until the end of it and the start of a new time in oh so many dimensions... spread out, crumbled up, sticking together, floating, rolling, turtleneck dimensions.

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.

Angelic

My body embraces the cold, lying outstretched, letting ice and snow cover me, making me shine. Angelic I will go to my grave.
