Life is a Savage Garden

welcome

Greetings to all the beautiful people around! Here are tales of a garden that just happens to be! Presenting the Chronicles of the South, where the stars and the moon dance their way through the Southern Hemisphere. And lines that may come to rhyme to be a poem...

Figure something out




I've tried to figure you out,
I tried to shape you, 
Out of your likes and dislikes, 
Yes, the blue of the skies, 
The tingling sunshine, 
The wind in your hair, 
and everything else, 
Pretty world no one sees, 
And they call me blind, 
Brushed you out of my mind, 
Made you look like all I wanted, 
But it's not you, it's never you. 
So I go on dancing, roads to beaches, 
Running like a mad under the stars, 
Burning fires, 
From this side to the other, 
What is it the sound of you, 
Is it the symphonies of the sea
Or the cacophonies of a forest, 
I'll go to places I've never seen, 
Maybe you'll be there. 


After many many days something just came out... 

Come love,
Sit by the riverside,
Sit by my side,
Does the sunlight bother you,
Is the wind singing for you,
Tell me love,
What would make you smile,

Where is your light?


I saw you standing there my friend, Playing with something in your hand, I wouldn't have even looked back, Where is your light gone? Is it the world, Or something you have done, Is it me or my heart, It didn't get warm as it used to, Why did your eyes lose their shine, I have enough questions for a life time, Windows have been left opened for some sunshine, Truth be said loud, My own light blinks erratically, and I cannot sing my own songs, Have gone to places beyond the horizon, Silenced all the voices inside the head, Made it through the wonder of new lights, For all those I will see in times to come, Where will your light be, Your eyes used to shine, Your heart used to glow, Will not let my light go.

Spider in the sun


I added some colours to sunshine, Some kind of spider waiting to strike, My own colours didn't suffice, Limitations added and followed simply, Nature of my thoughts seemed to have traits of courage, Somehow pushed by winds, I stayed around and moved with them, I don't even pretend that I have some control, My little spider life has some faith in life, Because I cling on what I meet as the most difficult, I added some colours to the skies, Again my own colours didn't suffice, I need to be the smallest of all, Infused in the very fabric of life, Unstoppable, might be carried from the winds to the clouds, From the rains to the continents unseen, Lands woven by hands full of blood, Where from then,could I steal some colours, To paint my own heart and mind, Colours not met by even the sun, Mighty world, and a poor little spider, Can't even get over his need to cling on, Turn to the sun, Turn to dust, Spread like you're nothing at all, I stand like a spider in the sun.

Bones


Leave my hand,
Break my heart and say,
You never ever held it,
Go away and never bother,
Yes, do not turn around,
I find no wisdom in holding you back,
Run, run fast to where you want to go,
I run no more,
I stay in my place,
I found myself,
I found love within,
The strength in my bones,


A million stars


How I wish I could find,
A million of those stars,
The ones we wish upon,
The stars that the child has faith upon,
The stars that make wishes come true,
They might hide behind fallen clouds,
I might hide in darkly worlds,
But I still wish to find those stars,
Wish for you to smile,
Wish for your eyes to turn bright,
Yes maybe if I could find that star everyday,
You would smile night and day.


Hommage a l'amour


Not allowed to love

Wise words that my heart used to say,
I have been kissed by the winds,
and tamed by the skies,
Now I rest, not allowed to love,
My request denied by the Gods,
No flowers,
No sweet sugar words,
No stolen kisses from Moon in the secret nights,
But this smile that your voice brings to my lips,
No one can erase,
The glimmer in my eyes,
My ways have been mended by the humans, aye!
Not allowed to love,
I will cry, but in the end I am always reminded,
I love your tormented icy eyes,
Not allowed to love your nearness,
Yes, I too laugh at this foolish heart,
But how can one restrain this beating heart,
Not allowed to love, indeed!
I have fallen again
