Hålla tillbaka

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
falls with the jokers
through the mound
who cries at night

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

A thought to my novel writing!

I started writing my second novel, two years ago but nothing is happening, as usual. So like the first novel, nothing will happen with this one either as usual. My first novel is now in the trash, and that’s where it belongs. Current novel is far from finished. Maybe it will never be finished!

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.

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

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…

A Path to Something New?

I have been there before, near an open end when all choices are hidden in the trees. I followed the same path firmly in the opposite direction, when a line was drawn under the ground of eternity. Beyond the light, far from all coincidences, a wisdom grew deep beneath the heap. I dug a ditch to finding a hope instead of plow forward in the right direction. In the end, I was on the same spot to look up, to stare down and be dazzled by the light in the front – out of conclusions.

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

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?

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

What happened? – What’s happening next?

There is a sun, anyway. For a couple of days, a small bird has sitting on my shoulder, and told me that, I need to fly out of my nest. It’s six years since I’ve wrote an article or a review. Instead of that, I’ve mostly written poetry and nothing in my novel.

But!

When I’m thinking on it, I know I’ve so much to tell. I’ve two drafts of novel stories in my head, but have only one of them on paper, far from ready to be send to the publishing company. In meanwhile, I’ve time for write both articles, reviews and still write a lot of poetry. 

So…

What am I waiting for?

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

IMG_0886

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…

I don’t know, but I think I…
feel that, the worst, but I…
don’t know if it’s true, if I…
can’t have a clue, when I…
think on it, untouched…

Heavy

Falls like
a plummet 
to the bottom, 
when my anxiety 
surfs on the waves, 
and all my thoughts 
are heavy as the ship
in the port by the 
sea of worries

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

Posted

As thoughts 
in a mail box,
out of emptiness,
without sender,
sleeps the Devil

ready to kick

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

Ordskogen

Är vilse i skogen av alla vackra ord,
med en kartbok i handen,

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?

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

IMG_1132

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

The life long battle – Part 2

Sometimes a small light in a tunnel, a winter’s day. Twenty four hours by eighteen with darkness. Only a memory flashes by. A moment as a traveler in a wheelchair along dark culverts – heading for the goal. Searching for the light and a new step for a life at home again.

What happened before and after is a mystery? A detective work. His journey close to death by the ruler as the distance between the car and the ground was cut into pieces and only one centimeter was left. The one who separated life from death.

To be home was a start to win it back, the lost moments he doesn’t have or not to remembered. Only he could felt the presence of the guardian angels, that moment. As an echo in the block, all rumors of his death, was more fake as death of the civilization. It lives, and he too.

Short steps forward became a fight through thoughts and descisions from people who had more to say and to decide about the boys future. Wounded both on the inside and physically on the outside, became all obstacles more higher and all roads even longer. 

Back on his feet but out off interest to jump faster forward and with his eyesight as a minor obstacle, could the future be blind. With full sight on one eye and only ten percent on the other, as scars after the accident, was all shortcuts in life, far away. 

What could he do later and why he had to start over the third grade, again? Had he all the power he needed to start over and build a future of what it takes to succeed as a human?

In progress

Soon, I’m hoping to post part 2 of The life long battle. It’s more about what happened after, and how it goes after the boy’s long visit at the hospital, and if he can start over and built a new life. To leave the life like a wounded bird – home in his nest. There are so many setbacks and obstacles in his life, to tell about.

Words to picture

One word, one person, a frame

Two words, two colors, a contour

More words, many motifs, one picture

…who am I, to judge? No answer

The life long battle

A winter’s day in January 1981. One place, a boys and a lot of guardian angels. Ice cold snow by the road, as walls in a war. A road covered by ice, smooth like a mirror. There’s a line between the goal and the destiny. The mission, a journey between joy and an adventure made for children.

When an icy road has a duty to deliver, he didn’t make his task in the playable battle. It could be his last in life, but the guardian angels were on duty that day, to save the boy’s life.

A car, fast as a shark swallow him in one bite. Invisible friction between ice and tires, hadn’t a chance. It could even be the last day to dance. In a moment, he was gone, gone everywhere. In his head and visually down the road. No snow banks couldn’t stop it, no brakes and an impossible task missed to do what it has to do.

The distance, half of a ruler, down under a car, dragges the boy as long as it took to stop the vehicle. How long, they did’t know, but at the end, the boy was out of consciousness. All rumors where many, but the guardians angels had the upper hand that day.

Was he dead? Where’s he now? Why did the boy ended up under the car? Why didn’t he thrown aside by the incredible force the car had to get rid off? Who is he? Questions all over, couldn’t be answered by the guardian angels when the boy – half dead, flew side by side with the angels, across the clouds to land softly on the roof to the capital city’s biggest hospital.

Lucky to be alive, the boy came home after awhile. By surprised look in others eyes, had the boy, by help of the guardian angels, won the war. The battle of death and the future. Whith scars deep inside and visible ones on outside – he still trust the future and always trust his angels.

The last thing he does in this moment, is to end this short episode and hope to win a new battle everyday. The fight against anxiety and the war against his low self-esteem. Obstacles along the way have always been there.

Soon a new obstacles to be defeated.

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…

Tvära kast

Som fåglar runt hjärnboet 
landar känslorna mjukt 
i bröstet när allt omkring 
är osynligt,  men nära 
som om det inte fanns, igår.

Som en vind från ingenstans 
virvlar tankarna som en 
getingsvärm i hjärnboet 
tills allt faller till marken, 
hårt, dagen efter.

Traffic light life

behind the glass, under the surface,

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…

Contrasts

When the earth 
spins around 
in circles

You are the sun 
I’m the moon

When the world 
turns over
upside down

You are the God
I'm the devil

When universe
stays strong
to survive 

You are the stars
I'm the chaos

When the rainbow
ends somewhere 
close to us

You are wise
I’m the searcher

Who cries by your side,

Who walks on your mind, 
when talks stays behind 

Who fights in your head, 
when the lights is dead
Who fears what you say,
when tears fills the day

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

Better mood

Lightness lifts my soul
from the ground
when an invisible force
keeps my mind alive

A silent moment
spinns my body around
when the good mood
don’t want to dive

Wrong sense

By train, full of emotions
on a railway, made of thoughts,
vibrates my fears
from side to side

By air, loss of lifes,

in a sky, made of mistakes,
falls my mind
from the cloud to the ground

By boat, empty of happiness

on a sea, made of tears,
sinking my destiny
to the botton

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

Choices

All I want, is to believe I
Will do the right thing, but I
Think it’s wrong, though I
Can’t being free of it, if I
Still being afraid from what I
Trust…!

Down to…

To have
a feeling
of being

empty thought

full of holes

På flykt…

I en värld, upp och ned,
när jorden är platt, på
kanten mot universum,
står jag och balanserar.

I ett steg, snavande nära,
ligger det svarta hålet,
framför min fötter, som
vägen bort från mig själv.

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.

© Björn Blomqvist 2021-01-02

Deep down

No light in my
emotional jungle,
I search to find
a fight to running
my mind.

In the dark my
feelings start to yell,
I spark my brain
in an unbeatable
pain.

Ensamma trädet

Ett ensamt träd,
det ingen ser,
vajar i vinden,
skrattar och ler

Ett ensamt träd,
med ärr i barken,
ett lövfall i vinden,
sakta mot marken

Ett ensamt träd,
det ingen saknar,
kämpar i vinden,
när fåglar vaknar

Ett ensamt träd,
på egna fötter,
dansar i vinden,
genom alla rötter

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
as quietly as the wind in your hair when
tears are falling down on my cheek
as hard as the rain in your hands

Stars are fighting the darkness
as easy as the love in your eyes when
words of love are written up in the sky
as the signs for heavenly love

Ongoing Projects

260 poems have now been sorted and categorized. Four different topics. Mostly love, thoughts and visual impressions. The reason with it, is to publish my favorite poems in a book someday.

The ongoing write process with my debut novel has get better. The deadline is set to spring 2021. The novel will be somthing between a crime novel and an youth novel.

Broken

Let my inner silence
dance
on a thread
above devil’s sea


Let my empty soul
escape earth,

alone in the dark

Let my cold heart
melt away,

heavy fall apart

Let my broken thoughts
drown down,

fast like a stone

Off…

Back,
deep through
the hole off
confusion, 
fast dug by
the darkness

Way out,
a solution
owned by

through
the eternity

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

Jag är droppen 
som ligger kvar 
med tankar 
som aldrig torkar

Jag är droppen 
som vill försvinna 
till att alltid
komma tillbaka

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

Heavy

The gravitation of uncleared stuff inside my head, pulls down whole my soul to the ground, step by step.

Like a forgotten piece of paper, with unreadable notes, lies my body on the street, facing up as a worring kind.

A heavy truck, missing of brakes, filled with tons of dark minds too fast too late to…

…react

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

Repris

Frigörelsen igår 
blir till morgondagens

I framtidens ovisshet
krafsar gårdagen ömt under 
huden

Out of order

Empty thoughts

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

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

Hämta andan, greppa tag
 
Rensa tankar, samla kraft
 
Hitta tillbaka, alldeles tom

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

En färd framåt, en vind i ryggen

En hjälpande hand, en våg i aktern

En svalkande vind, en båt i rörelse

En avskild plats, en brygga i sikte

Viken

Skummet yr kring den sten
jag döpte en sommar
Viken ligger öppen
som den famn jag dig gav
Vågorna gör mossan mjuk,

En lätt bris bryter tystnaden,
så tyst som du var då
Regn genom solstrålarna dina,
på en yta i regnbågens kulör

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

Fredagslabyrinten

I en labyrint vandrar mörkret steget före 
mot den utväg som inte finns, inte här 
inte där heller, bländad av ljuset - överallt 
Myrsteg framåt, eller bakåt? Snurra runt 
Yr i bollen, ett platt fall, himlen är stjärnklar 
Marken är våt, gräset högt och ansiktet ned 
Jorden snurrar och marken skakar min kropp, 
fylld av halta druvor och promillesoldater 
i ett (full)skaligt krig med förnuft och känsla

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

…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

The end,
end of something,
something that ends

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

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

Me versus Erwin Panofsky

A long time ago, in 2004, when I was prepared to study at the university – I began to do art analysis. Mostly over the whole exhibition, not on single art work. I used a method I was comfortable with and perfect for my own thoughts (own constructed method).

Today, many years later – efter my degree from the university and with a master thesis in art history, I know more about other art theories in the field of art analysis. My thesis is about heraldic influences on emblems belongs to sport clubs. I done a symbolic and a comparative study about it.

The point is how my method is nearly the same as Erwin Panofsky’s (1892-1968) method to analyze art. Today, I’m more familiar with his theory, so I see likenesses and some minor differences. His first step or level of three in his method, is about what you see in the picture (pre-iconographic). My method when I do my analysis is the same, but with little more. According to Panofsky, it’s to analyze colours, lines, forms, objects, surfaces, directions and people etc. in the picture. I however, analyze movements and dimensions too. How objects can looks to be in a movement. The second is to look for depth through 3D. My favourite part is to look for 3D, (central perspective), as Leonardo painted it. I also analyze the texture, technics and the material etc.

One other task differ from Panofsky. That is how or on what part the analyze will be made. Mostly I do the analysis on the whole exhibition, not on single art works. I put shorter time on every art work and the same to do research about the artist. The background research is a important point for the second level in Panofsky’s method (iconographic), which is more time consuming than what I have time for. But sometimes, there is enough information about the artist in the folder at the gallery, so I do a minor background check.

Further in level 2 comes one of the most central point in my analyses. Find symbols and see the symbolic meaning with different elements in the picture. The same with icons. Hidden or non understanding icons and symbols, are what I love to find. Both my thesis for bachelor degree and the thesis for my master degree in art history, are studies on symbols and icons (but in different artistic areas).

So in my last part of my analysis, I’m already in the Panofsky’s third level (iconological). That is what I think and what I see as the painting’s message and to get my perceived feelings and my thoughts so I can give a final assessment of what I just viewed. My main focus is in what I see and what the painting want to say or tell me, and what I hear. Everything are to perceive it personally. Not even a artist know what am I perceiving and to feel in that moment when I look at the painting – also if he or she has a meaning to create an indignation at the viewer.

The conclusion is how I analyze art and how it is similar or not with Erwin Panofsky’s method. He of course, has many more parts in the analyze and I have no expectations, just hopes and discoveries when I visit an exhibition. So my point is how similar our methods are, even before I had knowledge about his method.

There are, of course other art historians and methods to explore. Svetlana Alpers and Heinrich Wölfflin for example. My point is to compare my method to analyze art in comparison with Panofsky’s method.

Big but thin, in a bubble, I live

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).

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
less be there
under my skin

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

…is wrong

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

Sometimes I’m writing

Today, a better mood
only for you my friend
look up and smile, it’s good

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

A fire fight…

Unstoppable fire when it rains,
steals my heart and veins
Big thoughts in a minimal bowl
are destroying my soul
Invisible wounds by a wooden knife
are representing my empty life
Nothing of everything I find
are exploding in my mind

Knutpunkt 

Jag dansar barfota på glöden, i otakt
Repet med ångestknutar drar
bröstet tillbaka, i obalans
Jag håller andan länge
under vattenytan, i halsgropen
Nätet med ångestmaskorna går
sönder och samman, i ovishet

At the lake

img_0055

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

Glaskross

Han satte vinet
i vrångstrupen,
lika kärvt som
Panamakanalen

Som slussar
kastades vinet
genom luckorna
mot hans
torra läppar

Det var orden
orden hon sa,
orden han hörde
som fick floden
att kasta sig
ut över fallet

På botten,
under stenarna
där jorden täcker
det fördolda,
ligger nu ett krossat
vinglas…

Overheating

I did it again,
swallowed my mind
of control

to get…
Nothing of it

In this moment
I hate
myself…

Kontring

Där kom den, 
en passning 
från huvudet, 
ut på kanten, 
i en nedtagning, 
på bröstet, 
så det smärtar, 
på insidan 

…en tankeattack

Shadow

In the light
of a screen, when a
lost soul puts
a shadow
on the wall
A dark siluette
filled by
thoughts
you never see
and feel
Locked screen,
a place
Just thoughts
in the air
to climb
over borders
No light, but thoughts
a shadow thing

Det mörka

Jag svävar inte
bland molnen
Jag är molnet,
det mörka
Molnet ni ser
på avstånd
från ett fönster
Jag gråter där
solen lyser
Nära regnbågens
vackra färger…

Det som kom, kommer igen. (En enkel snabb – på svenska).

Det som var borta 
i förfluten tid, förintat, 
avklippt och kasserat 
återuppstod, 
nu i detta nu 
Murar faller, sköldar 
som spricker 

Det som försvann, 
det som inte längre fanns 
Vandrar från huvudet 
genom bröstet i en 
kokande kittel i maggropen 
Jag såg det, jag kände det, 
komma igen
