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...

Summer is gone


As we can see, I have gone back to my ole loves, summer and moon. i cannot hope to write more until my muse allows to to. i am no poet, but when the window is closed and i cannot peep through the infinite, i try to manage.



Winter's come,
Summer's long gone,
It's getting cold but the windows are wide,
Open to let the moon in,
Where not even sunshine would be let it,

Whispers


Soft Whispers encircled the heart,
Made it grow weak,
If someone could tell the direction,
Would gladly follow that route to this sound,
Words barely came,
What brought them,
Whispers a heart can barely resist,
Whispers that make it glow,
To leave all the rest behind,
To stop running from rest,
A fresh tune plays inside the head,
The music and a submissive heart,
Where does it go...
Among strangers' voices,
and a world's noises,
The whispers turn everything upside down,
Like mountains have never been the highest,
Like the sky has never been so far,
Like falling from heights above would only bring the purest of joys,
Smashing colours in the worlds came one in the one soft whisper,
Merely words carefully whispered,
Made a way from lips to a beating heart.

It was me


Thinking it was me,
I looked upon the sky,
All this blue light,
Living and growing beyond horizons,
I thought it was me,
Words spoken and lies denied,
I thought they were for me,
Hearing the songs of heavens,
Watching the lights,
I truly thought they were me,
This voice heard so often,
I almost thought I was the one singing,
Those chosen tunes,
I almost thought they played for me,
That yellow flower hanging above all,
Despite a rain, I thought mine,
Flower washed in desperate joy,
Pride shaking till the brink,
I saw myself.

Bright


This one is in sharp contrast with what i wrote some time back... I don't think i even like this one...O_o yes!




Walking down the road the other day,
I encountered life,
The one I often, oh, so often heard about,
But now I think I was better look towards the sky,
Squinted me eyes to adjust to the darkness that was emanating,
Life?
A question on my lips,
And all my mumblings were numbed,
And all my songs were lost,
As if nature could have me no more,
My humble prayers reached no ears no more,
Such was this life,
The clouds hid my love and no calling
no wailing could trick it back,
Oh such was the dust,
Oh such was the noise,
Senses, worldly and heavenly,
made meaningless and fled from me,
Hands turned to ice,
and I couldn't feel the caress of flowers,
Having never embraced, my heart couldn't get warm,
Couldn't get rid of this cold,
So cold was this life,

And the mind, a mess,
Sitting in a pool of mud of its own,
Stuck and battered by incomprehension
Striking from all sides,
What to expect from this thing just met,
...
It was trying to fly again,
But it was getting comfortable here,
The mind tried to look beyond and do the right,
It wouldn't
It got tangled,
In some kind of love,
For whom, for what, I still wonder,
There was no one to rescue from here,
The road was still waiting ahead,
But life wanted some directions,
And all I done was to float with the winds,
All I had to do was to sing,
and the Moon would appear,

What do I do of you life,
How do I transform you,
What made you so dark,
If I could I would,
take a little light from them all,
I met till I found you,
For I heard of something that hides inside
their hearts.
Something overwhelmingly bright.


And I managed to finish this stuff afterall!

This Land


And I thought the clouds were cruel,

I crossed the lines and saw the horizons vanishing,
As I left my land,
Went to meet the most cruel ones,
But vanquished them to move closer,
Closer to my dearest love,
My dearest Moon,
Alas, fate, damnest of all,
fate, poor you for, all of us, of us all,
No one really liked you
Fate was written in other ways,
By Gods, most probably,
For what I saw above clouds,
Was the shiniest of them all,
'Twas the ruler of them all,
Kronos welcomed me in his abode,
High up there, delight filled my whole,
My heart thankful, for in these troubled skies,
I had a friend of mine,
But when time came, I realised,
The real trouble was when I found land again,
My soul was guarded by mountains,
Fed by the constant flows of rivers,
Coloured by what made oceans blue,
But then I have been shunned,
Coz the horizons are not powerful here,
The skies barren,
For they cannot hold the mighty sun,
Maybe it is the sun that is playing cruelly with me.

Oh!


Oh Love!
You are so near that I see myself when i look at you.
Oh love! You shine so far away from me.
As I stand so far I breathe in your light.
A kind of sadness fills my heart,
A kind of pain in my veins.
For I cannot touch you, love.
Love! Be there Love!
In that sky, everytime I raise me eyes.

Foolish


Come look for me, my moon asks all the time.
And these eyes of mine, this foolish heart of mine, doesn't resist.
Day or night.
Looks up the road my Moon takes,
The heart knows no time and forgives no clouds.

See the people


I can see the smiles and even hear them laugh,
The noises they make,
So dear to them they get lost in it,
I can also see traces of love,
But as I open my eyes, lust is there too.
In the wind that carries word and songs,
I heard cries, muffled.
Almost incomprehensible,
I would sit down and look at their eyes.
Yes same.
Questions remain the same.
Oh what does the horizon hide.
But I have also seen the others,
Those who cry no more, and hide no more.
I can see the ideas moving inside their heads,
Colliding and collapsing.
What would they do if they had it all.
Oh these people of this tiny world!

Where you lie.


These are just moments.
They will pass.
But right now it is you that I want to miss,
You that I want to see when I close me eyes.
Called you my angel,
Called you my mountain,
So in this very moment, could you hide me under your wings,
Could I lay back on you,
Like the passing moments, I know you might not stay,
All I need is to hear your laugh,
And i could run into the world and face everything that comes.

Piece of love


Darkness settles upon the down,
The last glows bid goodbye before giving way
The give way to the intentions of the light.
That to exist even when thought gone,
For it's ways are so many,
It plays with the eyes of the world,
Invisible but glowing are the stars.


This really does not make any sense at all. if anyone can tell me what I wanted to say.
I'd be thankful!


Why so strange this thing called love,
Been turning to the sky for some courage.
With some simple hope that it won't stop being,
Walked along the path with no doubts,
And then the sky called.
It held something new for me,
Glimmering and shining,
My heart sang for a little moment,
I thought the clouds were cruel,
But there it was,
A little streak across the greatness,
It looked like my love,
The sky and those clouds have been conspiring,
They couldn't bring my love to me,
But they stole a bit of the moon,
And there! It lifted my heart to see a it,
They had shaped my moon inside an innocent cloud.



Darkness settles upon the down,
The last glows bid goodbye before giving way
The give way to the intentions of the light.
That to exist even

Who knows that heart?


It's who I used to love,
I don't remember the love,
My head remembers the days,
But my heart has forgotten the aches,
It has no memory of pains,
But I know of the steps it takes,
Always away,
It won't settle down,
And now no light and no dark nights would make it move,
I know not what guides the heart,
But it ain't the love it used to have,
It ain't the pain it could suddenly remember,
Slightly confused, I have enquired the mind,
But we have found no clue at all.

Cruel Love


Gone to places I don't know,
My love left my side many years ago,
Claiming lies over love, ran away with the most cruel of goodbyes,
Left moonlight as a gift,
And every sunset as a kiss,
Have to dig a grave for that matter,
So I don't have to look back no more,
But emptiness fills my whole when there's nothing
to cling to,
There's nothing to cry on and the grave is gone well,
Have so, gone to loving the things love left behind,
A light in the middle of the night,
Troubles my sleep but leaves my smiling at his love.

My heart in half


I hope that the Moon shines on your path,
As I leave your way and go round in circles,
My world awaits, since so long I've been making promises I don't keep,
So there it goes, My heart,
Half broken but lighter,
Half dead but freed,
Alas it cries for unsaid words,
It will again let the rope loose,
What my heart wants, no one can let it have,
So I hope the sun shines and make your autumns colourful,
You are not what my heart holds on to,
Careless heart makes me more cruel by the day,
Like a kite without strings,
Hoping the find home in the clouds,
I feel tired now, but it won't rest.
So now I run from the world, lest lovers might curse me,
Take my wishes and go,
May the winds carry you to sacred paths.

World above me


I've been sitting silently watching the world,
The sun, the trees and the lovely breeze,
And then you came,
No words, no smile,
Sure you make me wanna lose it all,
I'll spin around and make the world turn with me,
Binding all the colours it can have,
I'll gladly leave the ground under my feet,
Would you catch me if I fall,
Would you hold me and listen to my soul singing for you,
And thanking the sun for the light it shines on you,
You look so good, I can't close my eyes,
You taste so sweet, I wouldn't get any further,
I wanna dance dance dance 'til am out of breath,
Just stay and see,
I will grab all the sweet bliss in the world,
I'll be on my knees and offer you them all,
I want you to have it all for you make me smile and show me love.

The plan


Shining
