Skalet på frukten
är vad du ser och
doften du andas
Färgen på skalet
är vad du ser och
intrycket du får
Saften av mognad
är vad du tror och
frestelsen jag ger
Kraften i smaken
är vad du vet och
tuggan jag tar

Sömnlös
Jag skulle skriva dikt idag
och skriva på min bok,
men vaknade mitt i natten
som ett socialt vrak på
botten av en uttorkad sjö
Jag skulle fånga dagen
och njuta av stunden,
men vaknade mitt i natten
som ett vissnande löv i
det djupaste mörker av tomhet

Rumour’s Game
A vacuum, equally hollow
like the rumours I hear
Be calm but don’t follow
like the greatest fear
On my knees, I’m standing
until the truth is revealed
Soon, it comes to a landing
until my lips are sealed

“Man är.” By Anja Perssons and Tomas Boström
Ensamheten
En ensam fågel
i den starkaste vind
som biter i din kind
En ensam plats
i ett avfolkat land
som i öknens sand
En ensam känsla
i ett bultande bröst
som en längtans tröst
En ensam grubblare
i ett bottenlöst grepp
som ett sjunket skepp

Mood Status
A sensitive soul
in a fragile body
A house of cards

Shards…
The cracks of the mirror
in the clearest waters,
travel with the speed of
the waves from an invisible
storm, straight through
my shaky body
The veins on the surface,
are splashing at the rocks
in my eyes when the
sun’s rays shine against
the delicate layers
of my thin skin

Temptation’s Curiosity
A pinch of questions
lies in a pot when the heat
rests, deep in the
freezer’s box of answers.
Ingredients fall to the floor,
such as love, frustration
and a spicy mix, made by
temptation’s curiosity.

Shaped Emotions…
On a spot in the shadow, I’m standing
alone, empty and filled of silence
Behind the flames by fears, I’m landing
untouched, humbled and out of violence

Sail by Love
The ocean, a place of love
that flows on the emotional waves
Your heart opens up to sail
in a boat through all loving winds
The sea water splashes around
on you, to cold the sexual heat
My coast, is in the arms
of everything you sailed for…
…in the end of an armada of love

Searcher
Traces far away
from the start
Something in a
lifetime, a melody
to survive
Too many chances
out of reach
Everything in a
moment, words
to heat a heart

Eyes to the Ceiling
A surface, white as the sheets,
dry and high above your wet body,
reflecting the softness in your skin.
Two heads on a pillow and
shiny eyes to the ceiling,
brings the blanket to the floor.
An act of love without audience,
in a room filled of emotions,
opens the window to an eternity.
© Björn Blomqvist 2022-08-01
Roses
Like a rose by night,
you’re colorless
But on inside,
as the rose, a red
loving vibe
Like a rose in the wind,
you fall through
But I’m behind to receive,
when you fall for
the wind, to believe,
in love

Unstoppable
At night, in sleep, on a sheet
Hiding, beyond the dark
In a row, huge like a fleet,
carved, deep in the barque
Chimaeras sleep at night
Real ghosts aren’t dead
At day, they have a fight,
mostly here, in my head

The Mirror in my Pocket
Two sides in a reflection of
pictures to delete
You and I, or both of us,
but only pieces of me
Deep in my pocket,
broken and not complete
Who am I, what can I see,
or who could it be
My eyes dance alone
on the mirror’s frame
in slow motions to the
melody of broken glass
Lost in a cracked surface,
life picture isn’t the same
In between lies the hope,
leaved in the pile of mass

Sound of a Sunset
Evening sparrows fill the night
with tones, played on the leafs
Calm winds give bubbles
in a tiny puddle on the ground
The shadows sleep on the clouds
in a dream of a snoring sun

Maybe…
…there’re days by the field,
from morning to the night
It’s a hard work to do,
heavy duty without a fight
There’re sweat and tears,
from the sun to the moon
Early start, nothing to say,
only an hour to the noon
There’re lives underground,
from the plant to the grape
Cold water fills the throat,
to shine, live and get in shape
Too much
🎼
Grabbing a glass of beer,
to the sound of a country song
Singing alone my dear,
for being your love, all night long
Fills my life by the barrel tap,
when the body turns to dry
Starts my engine after a nap,
when it lives and don’t die
Hoping to find what I hear,
in a life from bar to bar
Dancing alone my dear,
for being gone, not too far
Fills my life by the barrel tap,
when the body turns to dry
Starts my engine after a nap,
when it lives and don’t die
Shaking the hips and the bone,
to the sound from the strings
Changes words on every tone,
for playing to it springs
Fills my life by the barrel tap,
when the body turns to dry
Starts my engine after a nap,
when it lives and don’t die

Cat a strophe
In the mood as a disaster
Lies my will on the floor
Untouched among cats
Miles from the outer door
Alone in the rocking chair
Rests my lust under the rails
Sanded to gravel of stone
When worries cuts the nails

No no no…
Every night I’m squeezing
my pillow, hard and harder,
until I fall asleep, heavily
Every hours of sleep,
at night, is the nightmare
still alive, still beside
Every morning I wake up,
sad, scared and alive, but
lives next to a nightmare
Sweet dreams needs to
fill my pillow every day
and every moment…
…please

Trust
In this place,
on this earth,
there is a meaning,
at least mine
I try to explore my
inner with tools
I don’t have or
which one to use
What’s in my toolbox?
To trust my choices
and opportunities,
places the horizon
ever further away
I can’t see it but
I can feel it when
I’m resting my brain
on my invisible pillow

Kindness in the speed of the light

Under the Stars
Somewhere, high above
shines a star on my half-
hearted mission of being
the best version of me
In between, rests a destiny,
heavy on the clouds under
the stars, to lay my star,
softly and warm in my hand
Below, under my feet
shakes the ground in time
with my heartbeats, loudly
so you can hear me sing

Shared Moments
I just borrowed the sun
that shines in your eyes,
to dry my lonely tears
I walked by the path
you have in your heart,
to share my moments
I sailed by the wind
in your broken mind,
to lighten my anchor
I caught the sky
you sent down to me,
to open my soul

Speakable…
On a bench, a painted word
drops down on a leaf
By a leaf, a silent touch
lifts an eye above the head
Inside a head, a good thought
spinning to slips aside
One step aside, a bad
feeling bouncing in the chest
Deep inside the chest, a new word
waiting to paint a heart
Stuck in a heart, a painted letter
still rest on a bench

In Bloom…
🥀 The Flower as I 🌻
From a crack in the street, grew a flower with the aim of eternal life.
The asphalt that covered playgrounds and cycling paths was surrounded
by concrete houses. He grew up beyond all the fine flower arrangements and
the road was never straight. The road that led him forward was crooked
and lined with obstacles and resistance.
The acquisition, which was governed by inheritance and obligation, was
the predetermined course. Nothing went as wrong as the credible thesis
– a theory failed. With death as a close visitor, the life got a second chance.
From an asphalt flower to a victim after a deadly journey under a vehicle,
the wounded plant rised against all odds.
From a course change to discourse in the academic flower box, new seeds
where spread. Nectar that has always been there, was suffocated due to
uncertainty. The survivor of the working-class society became a conqueror of
dual bachelor’s degree. The conquest is unique in the collection of familiar
flowers.
Dramatized acting on stage became plant nutrient to the root. The strength
of memorizing the words in the script, became the flower’s power on the stage.
Predisposition for artistic analysis is the strength that strengthens the stem.
Water and sun are mixed with culture that breathes over the leaves.
The pot of poetry
will be filled to the brim
with hungry poems
to feed a starving poet.
Words and emotions
are fed with stanzas
and verses from the
middle of the soul.
The damaged flower
survived a serious
car accident, this day
41 years ago…
…and he is still in bloom.

Fighting the truth
The uncertainty in my eyes
hides the knowledge I have
My mind is in control of the
words you hear but not feel
The speech in my voice
is another bite on my lips
An incision along my tongue is
a choice to swallow my pride
Beside us in another direction
boils the letters to a new
reality you own when you talk
but I’m only listen to myself
In between faces of altercation
grows all we don’t see but
only hear it as bouncing eco
from hearts to a fight of the truth
© Björn Blomqvist 2022-01-02
Fall
Small fragments of a light wind blowing away, fast
of a slow storm,
full of anxiety.
A hurricane spins
around as a typhoon
in my head until
I fall like the
house of cards.
I lie flat on
the ground until
it sinks away,
lower and lower,
and I with it…
©️ Björn Blomqvist 2022-01-01
Complexity
It’s a complex world,
full of bubbles in a bubble
One wants out, the other
still making trouble
All feelings in a dense
forest, waiting for the rain
The sun shines when the lust
is in the moss to feel the pain
Down the mountain goes
a lucky road from the top
From a hope to a jump out
shakes the ground without a stop
©️ Björn Blomqvist 2021-12-30
Uncomfortable
Am I too nice
to be hard
when the world
turns upside down?
Am I too afraid
to show my sensitivity
when other spins
the earth backwards?
Am I too weak
to be strong
in a weightless universe,
empty of content?
Am I too difficult
to be a number
when my genius
sleeps on the moon?

The herald among Duke Charles’ men 16th century
Often, too Often, I Think…?
What if, What if
The voice in my head
Unwanted, out of control
I sink, I sink
I’m don’t act, I react
What if, What if
It lives in my head
Often, out of reach
I fall, I fall
Down, often down

Window Mode
Since 2012, I have written 299 poems, and this will be the 300th. What’s out there and what’s in here, is an interpretation of my poetry that has constantly moved from my inner feelings to beautiful and enlightening things I have seen outside and around me. It has and will perhaps be a journey between the light and the darkness. But in between there’s a force so strong as in the best moments can move the mountains, who are a part of the roller coaster in my life.
So this is my 300th poem
A tiny light, surrounds
by the darkness, I feel
Crushed life that sounds
when emotions are real
Rays of the sun, walks
in a motion, so bright
Color of sensitive talks
paints my hope, by night
A feeling of calm, plays
alone when you can’t see
An inner fight in days,
a personal war for me
All bricks in the wall, sings
a capella for deaf ears
Dare to look, touch things,
doing it, without fears

Between Grief and Grapes
Barrels full of tears in a sad patrol, rest to store fears in rows, surrounded by it’s enemies in oak uniforms. Red wine in the color of spilled blood, survived the battle between the grief and the grapes. In frontline with shields, thin like the shells of the grapes, a bloodline is the line behind the enemy. The infantry still standing on the feet of the wine glasses, ready to fight for what they crying for. Deep down in a wine cellar, far from the sunlight, lies a grief, alone and missed by the survivors who refusing to leave them for the next harvest.

Along the Road
Step by step on a forgiving road,
a walk alone
Heavy rain falls from the fog,
a day to remember
Going back for a moment,
a memory on a stone
Lights in the night on a shining mind,
a day in november
Tone after tone of a surviving song,
a mystery voice
Heavy clouds push me down,
an emotional fight
Climbs up through the haze,
haven’t a choice
Strength in the body on a rising soul,
to catch what’s right
© Björn Blomqvist 2021-12-12
🎼 Once
Be the way,
easily walked
inside my heart
Be the song,
beautifully sung
outside my soul
Be the melody,
softly played
through my head
Be the dream,
slowly touched
on my mind
Be the words,
lovely whispered
in my ears

Voices
In meanwhile, when everything
are resting in silence, but in a
head full of voices, on a slope,
down through my chest, rolls
everything I’m afraid of, faster
and faster till the end of what?

Thoughts in the Snow
Being alone in a quiet place,
by winter’s time in the bay.
Seeing snow far from space,
near home, a beautiful day.
Finding a sound of a wave,
to come and cover a stone.
Looking for moments to save,
when words are being alone.

Untouched Dots…

At ones
One thing within, like a sin
Starts of a reason this season
One time on prime, like a crime,
Starts to swear, everywhere and here
One way, like I´’ve say,
Ends on this line, even mine

In the land of Anxiety
In the land of anxiety,
at a port in tears
rest the ships,
close to the cranes
In the land of anxiety,
on a airport of fears
sits the worries,
inside the planes
In the land of anxiety,
on a lake of scars,
dies the pain,
fixed on the hook
In the land of anxiety,
under the stars,
stands the anger,
to get a look

To hold back
A moment to explode or, an accidental piece of shyness, can't get it in bloom, all you want, the will, the most lovable feeling, inside a bubble that you can't crack, because the fear is a thick skin on an equally thick layer of shyness... ...why? © Björn Blomqvuíst 2021-09-20
Captured
Inside, like air of a balloon
by thin shelter of thoughtfulness
stands a man in a comfort zone,
sad with lack of happiness.
Stuck, as flies in the spider’s net
lies a hug all alone, miles away,
captured by thoughts to regret,
now or later, mostly yesterday.

Silver Roses
Color doesn’t matter
by the end of the rainbow
when roses grow, by love,
but die by the waterfall,
in meanwhile all the
golden flowers build
a road along a silver field,
full of roses to walk on,
for you, only for you…

Unstoppable
Filled by fire,
a monster of a kind,
what happened,
what is it to find.
To feed, to grow,
like a big worry,
what is it, what
makes me sorry?
Bad thoughts,
an anxiety to fight,
what happened,
there’s no light.
To feed, to grow
like a big ball,
what is it, what
makes me fall?

Body boiling pressure
Uncut thoughts are filled to the top
all the way down through my body
Unresolved issues run non stop,
to pump my veins, hard and bloody
Unwanted information, in a war room
between my chest and my brain
Unpolished madness on moon
a monster to makes me insane
Unidentified emotions are still left
when the pressure begins to rise
Undesirable reactions are a theft
full of explosive hatred as the prize

Words to picture
One word, one person, a frame

Inner War
In a selfmade war, I’m standing
when my anxiety’s bombs are landing
and smashes me in pieces
that never will be found
when my thoughts in my head
goes around and around
to struggle and fight
when my emotions fall apart
by night, in the duvet’s entrenchment
and I mediate for peace
in my brain, captured by sense,
tied in a chain…

Som fåglar runt hjärnboet

Obscure Spring Poem
The warmest star in our solar system
is awake longer and longer,
as far as the distance between
my thoughts and the darkness
down my soul, to catch
a moment to touch
when nothing exists in the blood
under the skin in my veins,
when flowers grow fast
above land to drink water
from my body of dry emotions
and drunken leaves full
of anger on a highway to
the sun and back…

ends somewhere
close to us

Who cries by your side,

Who wins in your game,
when twins looks the same
Who trust your story,
when you must be sorry

Surface II
On water, by the sea of waves
Surfs my anxiety through the net
Unwelcome thoughts are not the saves
It will cost my temper and all I bet
In days, by the pandemic with fears
Swims my worries, deep down
Under surface, there’re hidden tears
As long as it stays, my mind will drown
Two thoughts, by a single brain
Floats apart and drifts away
Every day, a struggle of strain
To find a healing soul to stay
Along the coast, by a broken heart
Flying my torpedoes under the skin
In my veins, there’s a bloody start
At a moment, the anxiety sets to spin

Why Poetry…
Somewhere in universe, to a forgotten place. Somewhere but close to the outer space.
There is a poetry box, locked but filled of words, lines and united letters, ready to fly with the birds
Down from a dark sky, to bounce on the stars, comes all emotions to a poem and landing softly on my scars.

Deep down
No light in my

in an unbeatable

Ensamma trädet
Ett ensamt träd,

Hit by a car…
My guardian angels of 1981,
were on duty to make it done.
My playful life the day before,
wasn’t ready to live anymore.
My guardian angels that night,
were on duty to make it bright.
My scars the invisible tears,
weren’t ready to live on fears.
My guardian angels in strife,
were on duty to save my life.
My sight the wounded head,
weren’t ready to be dead.

Autumn night’s love echo
Leaves are falling down to the ground

Corona’s poem
Distance is the new normal
and my lips are sealed
in protection as formal,
when I’ve enter people’s field
Loneliness, night and day
in our souls and hearts
when the end is far away they say,
if nothing ends before it starts
Closed world open the mind
and learn what went wrong
when you searching to find
answers, weak or strong
Giving up or fight, the choice
to struggle or running away
to write a poem as my voice
when nothing is left one day

Droppen som…
Jag är droppen
som hänger kvar
i vattenkranen
när allt dras åt
Jag är droppen
som faller ned
på kanten av
orons bottenplugg
Jag är droppen
som ligger kvar
med tankar
som aldrig torkar
Jag är droppen
som vill försvinna
till att alltid
komma tillbaka

På/Av-knappen
Jag ser den inte

Långt borta
Långt härifrån
En ström av känslor
En strömlös plats
Där finns ett slut
Där slutar allt som finns

Unfocused
It came as a seed
to ruin my mind,
suddenly a need
to search and find
It’s back tomorrow
as a scar in my past,
dressed like a sorrow
and grows too fast
It bangs alone
still inside my head,
heavy like a stone
to hang in a thread
It’s now or never
to catch and release,
push it down forever
piece by piece

Machinery
That feeling of nothing or everything which never exists, yet
That thought of something or nothing to happen, later
That thing of everything, or by the way, a thing who doesn’t appear, now or later…
…in the name of the anxiety

OCD’s sky
An obsessive lightning,
a flash in my chest,
gathers clouds
of compulsive
darkness,
all of them
in my head,
to make thunder
during a heavy…
…disorder

Anxiety
From one side
of my mind
deep inside,
one of a kind.
Coming fast,
always alone
same as last,

Find the way
Friday afternoon ”the cleaning project”. Heavy rain over a worrying mind, starts to look for unsolved things to find. Lost in the world and a an empty head, awake, asleep and hundred years to be dead.
Nothing rise like the sun, an early day, when the moon of all thoughts has only dark words to say. Different ways to solve and clean, throws back the good thoughts when nothing is what it has to been.
One day I’ve to catch, look and feel the light, when the darkness is gone, easy without a fight.

Som sagt
Vet inte vart det bär,
en lös tanke
på kanten av ett moln
Där sitter dom,
alla de hopplösa grodor,
min mun spottat ut
I kö, på rad att falla ned med regnet,
gnager solen
ett hål i mitt bröst
Den virvelvind jag känner,
en katapult av känslor,
fyller oceaner…
…som inte finns

Silence
Transmission of silence,
an invisible walk inside,
outside my head,
to a dead end of bitterness,
shouting from the hip
to a dynamite of emotions,
all over the entire body

Frigörelsen igår

krafsar gårdagen ömt under

Out of order
Empty thoughts
in the speed
of the light,
struggling
out of control

Big things

in the front
of the train

The Wrestler
I’m dressed, blue or red,
to the struggle in my head
Steps in circles, side to side,
for a brainless stride
Be alone, now or later,
when the pain will be greater
Tomorrow, day or night,
to a mindful fight…
…in the darkness, out of sight
© Björn Blomqvist 2019-03-06
Lost in…
Deep, deep through my soul,
the sound of a falling stone
There is a big empty hole,
around and always alone
On and inside my boiling head,
the heat of a burning mind
To catch thoughts, alive or dead,
don’t know and what am I to find

Rensa ur
Snurra hjulet, titta ned
Känn vinden, bromsa upp
Ropa högt, lyssna in
Fånga stunden, pusta ut
Spring för livet, kasta loss
Hämta andan, greppa tag
Rensa tankar, samla kraft
Hitta tillbaka, alldeles tom

Stuck
As you know, I’m published as poet in two anthologies and now try to figure out what am I have as a poem to this year’s anthology.
It’s two weeks to deadline and maybee I need more red wine or only a better self confidence.

Lost
I tried to find poetic lines,
that bouncing against a black wall
of unbreakable bricks
I tried to capture feelings,
that fall into an open sea
of sunken love
I tried to say words,
that rise to a sky
of untouched clouds

Honesty
Honesty’s question mark,
a force,
but for someone,
a struggle to perfection
Who?
Honesty’s goodness,
a need,
but for someone,
to drown in Anxiety’s list,
of…
…what’s right and wrong – good or bad
Being sad instead,
to be mad

Why
I did not, would I?
I wanted it, but…
…an inner voice said that
Thank you very much,

A cold farewell,
nothing more

Viken
Skummet yr kring den sten
jag döpte en sommar
Viken ligger öppen
som den famn jag dig gav
Vågorna gör mossan mjuk,
lika mjuk som ditt namn
En lätt bris bryter tystnaden,
så tyst som du var då
Regn genom solstrålarna dina,
på en yta i regnbågens kulör

A line, thin

That moment
There’s a poem in the air,
a poem to write by night
Letter after letter, a line,
to see, to feel and to fear
There’re words on the paper,
words to catch by the light,
Day after day, a house of cards,
to see, to feel and to tear

Lost in…
I’m thousand miles away,
away from myself, that’s hard
I’m lost in an insensible world,
hidden behind my own guard
I’m looking for answers,
lonely, hungry to survive…
…and
…I’m out of questions,
that’s why I can’t make…
…the dive

A nightmare world
Somewhere in my inner soul
there is a force, an unwelcome one,
whose purpose is to throw me away
from the present and put me in the future
A time shaped by all the mistakes
I have done in the course of history
© Björn Blomqvist 2017-12-14
…an eternity journey
Now I’m standing here again,
in center of the floor, alone
Far away from the corners,
far from a helping hand – I fall
The downward speed is twice
as fast as in oposite direction
The force that pulls down the cube
is stronger than the unaviable help
It’s not me who decides, that’s her elevator,
Anxiety’s lift
In the dark, far down in the
basement among caves
Is the road to the top…
…an eternity journey

Nothing of nothing
An empty space
consists of nothing
Divided in two parts
The eyes are blind
by the black surface…
…Hindered by hearts
One world of hope
dreams of everything
Gathered on one place
Our Globe is blind
by the darkest clouds…
…It still an empty space

what ends?
The end,
end of something,
something that ends
in this moment,
ends up
soon…
in a living soul,
lost of hope,
hopes to end
that moment by
something…

Sound of…
Closing my eyes
to the sound, no pain
Sound from the skies,
opening by the rain
Laying still, no silence,
storm throught the night
Black clouds of violence
a star is the only light

Den som inga byxor har…
Himlen i en ljus nyans, ett tyg ett hav
blåare än mönstret om sömmens nav
Skuggans mörka kant, en fåll ett stygn
starkare än solkustens alla dygn
Svetten kring midjan, en åtsittande här
varmare än hjärtats eldiga atmosfär
Gylfens tajta band, en dragning i sänder
svagare än värmen från dina händer
Gräset mot tyget, en grönska så stor
grönare än den avundsjuka som gror
Ytan i ett solblekt material, en hetta
obehagligare än den is som lättar
Oceaner av bara ben, ett byxlöst land
större än de jeans som sytts för hand
Tyget så raspigt känns, fläckat av slem
mjukare än lädret om spännet i en lem

Tillbaka…
Jag är tillbaka,
likt solen som saknas
en dyster dag
i ett fallande
känsloregn
Jag skriver igen,
likt poeten och orden
en klarblå dag
i ett uppklarnades
ögonblick
Jag känner efter,
likt värmen under handflatan
en len afton
och ett upphällt
glas vin
Jag kommer hit,
likt en hungrig skribent
en sensommarmorgon
i ett kläckfärdigt
skal

When or since?
Big but thin, in a bubble, I live
for the moment, yesterday, just now
Empty but alone, in my mind, I hope
for now, tomorrow, the day before
Invisible but alive, in other’s heads
for a week, or days, in a moment

More ART?
It’s long time since I made an art analysis and the same since I visited an art exhibition. It has been most poetry – maybe, it’s time for a break from poetry and to blog more about art instead? This is both an art blog and a blog for poetry, so…
…what do you think?
Twisted
By the way,
mind in pieces
A human creation,
on first day,
second temptation,
Never mind,

A Poem about my last name
Surname/Last name: Blomqvist
The name consists of two words in one name: (Blom) and (Qvist). Blom is the same as ”Blomma”; Flower (in english), but can also signify: ”Stå i blom”; Bloom or Blossom (in english). The other word is ”Qvist”, kvist with a Q. Kvist is Twig (in english).
The poem will therefore be about Flowers, in bloom, blossom and a Twig. – or more like a Twig with Flowers or a Flower'(s) Twig – or other flowering words that make me smile 🙂
🥀
Spring opened sun,
an early summer day,
in a flower’s nest,
in the end of may
Twigs in bloom,
in a flower bed,
in blossom color,
and roses in red
A summer night,
the frozen flower,
in bloom at time,
in every sunny hour
A flowering tree,
hides in the dark,
Me: the Flower*,
deep in the bark
🥀
*The Flower: ”Blomman” (in Swedish).

Uncontrolled
When and why
it stopped

Then and how

When and if

When and where
it left

Heavenly love…
A borderless love,
a lonely butterfly,
has...
gotten color to rise
in a blue sunny sky
An eternal romance,
an empty place,
has...
gotten hearts heat
blue eyes and a sunny
smile ❤

Så lite det behövs…

En träkniv, sakta karvad

gänga för gänga…

Arga blickar i raketfart

My published poetry – so far…
For the second time in two years I’ve been published as poet. This time with a love letter and before with a love poem.
This is the two anthologies where you can read my contributions. I’m very happy to be published as poet (for the second time) and I know – I’ve more , about 160 poems to publish if that was possible?

Blindly
Inside out
out of my mind
again the same
Up and down
down to find
the game
Before or after
after my time
on a break
Soon or later
late for a crime
I’ll make
To look up
up in the air
another day’s win
More or less

Autumn house
Trace’s walks along the walls
Hidden places, none open door
Seasons comes, autumn’s calls
As the leaves, inside, a yellow floor
Colorfulness stands by a tree
Under the sky, heaven in grey
Mirroring outside, a cup of tea
As the memories all night and day

Misunderstanding
I’ll do it my way, only one way

Perhaps my poems
are written when I’m sad
but today I’m satisfied

only for you my friend
look up and smile, it’s good

Å… vilken känsla :(
Dag för dag, en dag i sänder
nätter av svärta, i nattens händer
Igår, idag oron som ränner
inombords kluster jag känner
Bakom skalet, under hudens yta
blod och tårar, i ådrorna flyta
Kastar sten, fångar grus genom lins
berget i magen, det enda som finns
Borta i tid, tidens läkande kur
klockor ringa, visarna vet inte hur
Dag till natt, mörker utan motgift
ångestens resa, objuden på vift

Daily struggle
⚔
Unstoppable feelings by flies
surround my body and head
Open graves never think twice
on thier behalf, they’re dead
Wrong sense leaves the earth
cold and frozen of emptiness
Two fighters – one singel birth
loose all struggles – in progress
Silent hopes for better days
crash the life on a living soul
Loud thoughts hear and says
what’s left in my lifelong bowl

At the lake
Thread, an invisible feeling
over head under reeling
Reflection, a visible look
to a reaktion by the hook
Storm, to strong and thin
like a worm under my skin
To dive, a try to disappear
counts to five, only a tear
Trees, two lines in the lake
the soul´s breeze of break
Leaves, lighter than a mind
of beliefs, or love we find
Fishes, a shoal in my life
takes my wishes in a strife
What now, a moment later
and how, feed the alligator

Murar faller, sköldar

kokande kittel i maggropen
Jag såg det, jag kände det,

Vad finns kvar?
På ett sluttande plan delas mitt inre som två halvor av en vattenmelon. Mina jag glider isär, studsandes över kanten så köttsaften yr över den soldränkta platån. Det bubblar i kroppen som stekta melonhalvor på grillen. Längre bort, i skuggan av mitt värde splittras livet när melonskalet giljotineras mot det karga stenblocket ingen velat flytta på. I bitar av det ätbara, blandad med allt som ska bort finns bara kärnorna kvar. Utspottad på bordet som uttjänta uranstavar ligger jag i kärnhögen och funderar på när det är dags att gå under jorden…

Devil’s stop
One singel thread
on devil’s horns
I’m walking barefoot
through the heat
on devil’s head
One open sky
on my way to hell
I’m looking straight

One missing track
on devil’s map
I’m traveling alone
easy, and soundless
along devil’s back

Not another love poem – …again 😜
Like a rose by night,
you’re colourless

when you fall for
the wind, to believe

Love in rhyme
From nowhere,
something smart
When words
are bouncing

two souls and
our love,
isn’t a crime

You drive me crazy
I drive, away
