The Gate

The train went through the midnight gate,
the border between daylight of fantasy
and the real.
You and her, she and you,
and me.
Love sat across my bench,
laugh and dreams were beside me,
and myself.
With a song that sings
about a gate,
if I went through which,
I will meet you in the other side.
There is no more night for us,
it says.
Only flower meadows, laugh
and holding hands.

The train went through the summer gate,
the border between past fantasy
and the real.
I and you, you and me,
and us.
Love stays by me,
laugh and dreams are with me,
and ourselves.
With a story that tells
about my gate,
through which I have walked,
and found you in the other side.

Rainy Day by the Sea

On a rainy day by the sea
Where is our boat?
We do not know.
All what I remember is
the time seemed to stop;
like my heartbeat,
as you kissed me.

On a rainy day by the sea
I wondered about your heart.
Did you feel the wave of love
constantly crashing the wall
of your heart, like
the wave in the sea
never stop kissing the docks
on a rainy day by the sea?

The Merman

Oh life, I think I saw him!

The water spirit, my element

Do you remember two years ago,

I gave my voice to the sea-witch

to reunite with the prince

and stay in his beach castle.

Oh life, I think I saw him!

The water spirit, the merman

My water sign.

He drowned me in his enchanting words

I was struck with the waves of strange feelings

and I can't resist anymore.

Oh life, what should I do?

I took a terrible choice

to exchange my voice for a pair of legs

and now I am bounded to the prince

unable to go back to the sea.

Oh life, how stupid I was!

For thinking that I was the water sign

And now I saw him, I met him.

The merman who sang me songs

with his seductive voice

while I am bounded here on the land

with my beach prince.

Excitement

Even after I stood in a long line,
and raced with time
through gates and hallways,
I still cannot be calm on my seat.
Keep changing the position of my legs,
while reading the antique bible of yours.
And when the view on my window
shows me the clouds and blue sky
above small islands of your beautiful land,
my eyes cannot stop seeing.
My mouth cannot stop smiling
and my whole body is flying
far to the imaginary daydreams I always have
back in my homeland

for my feeling on the flight from Frankfurt to Oslo, 15 September 2014

Maybe you won't understand
why sometimes your ice flower melts down
Are those tears of sadness
or does it drop because of happiness?
Maybe you won't understand,
and you will never understand,
but when you start wondering about the reason,
look at the mirror and you'll find ---
the ice flower melts down for you,
because she cares so much about you

Since the Last Day

I know it has been a long time
since the last day I saw you
My soap bottle has turned into
white from purple -- almost empty
And I can see the silver base of
my smoked fish inside the blue plastic
And there are only two slices
left from my rice cakes
Does one day without you 
still mean one day closer to be with you?
I don't know.
I wish you'll come
before all the writings on the maps
start to fade away

for my missing feeling

Sunset

It reflects on the glass

windows of the skyscrapers

Here in my city

But there -

Someday on the peak of the hill in Bergen

after a short ride with the Fløibanen,

Or as seen from the top 

of the ferris wheel in Liseberg

It would be thousand times lovelier,

seeing the sunsets with you

for our unfinished plan

Insomnia

No, not because of those
random thoughts in my head
But there are too much
butterflies, flying inside me
Bring me far from bed and
to your heart

for my feeling

I let myself bewitched by the northern lights in your eyes
and steal a little of it to be kept inside my heart
to make it warm along the never-ending winter of waiting

I let myself enchanted by the sound of the fjords in your voice
and drown myself in its depth to cure this missing feeling,
to erase all my dark memories in this lonely place

I let myself seduced by the magical midnight sunlight in your words
and remember every detail of it to accompany my days
to make me feel closer to my dream to meet you in this
breathtaking land

for my addiction

Big wolf
with silver fur
Who do you love more?
The moon goddess or
the red riding hood?

More than three years
You stand on the cliff
Admiring the moon
There was a time
When she would come down
For a love dance with you

Big wolf
with silver fur
Who do you hold more dearly?
The moon goddess or
the red riding hood?

Maybe she's just a little girl
With a heart too pure to
dance the love with you
But she can sing as sweet as the birds
And she can dream as high as the stars
So will you love her more
after the moon had her eyes
on the eagle?
