Ashes

So many thoughts
tornadoing through my head,
storming through my brain,
all those worries
and every day seems
to keep them piling on.

And all I can do
is sit and wait
and hope all will be fine.

And as I lie on my bed,
ceiling spinning
against all the worries,
I think that maybe
I shouldn't have tried,
maybe I shouldn't hve thought
I'd deserve anything,
that I'd ever
be living the life
I thought I was living.

And maybe the sun left
with all my energy
and all my good luck
and everything else that left me,
so I'm lying here
and staring,
burning heavily inside,
an angry fire,
burning all my insides,
everything that's still there,
burning,
burning,
burning.

And all I can do
is turn into the ashes
of myself
and wait for resurrection.

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.

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.

Smithies of My Mind

The fires of my soul are burning hot. I have stirred them up for a long time, for ages. In them I want to forge words of truth, make them pure as light and engrave them with silver, adorn them with the beauty of rare gems. In the smithies of my mind I shall create, I shall bring forth ancient forces of emotion, make them shine in starlight; no, in complete darkness even to make shudder the hearts of mankind.
