Love

Both of us
awake
on either side 
of our world,
wishing
the other one
is asleep.

without you

"you've got to hide your love away"

i started writing down
all the things i could do,
when i am not
thinking of you.

scribbles on monogrammed pages,
notes in the margins of newspapers,
even bullet points on a smart phone.

i stopped making lists
when i realised,
even the words i write down
have you hidden behind every space.

into the darkness

never worry.
when you are gone,
and there is only quiet
everywhere,
eddie
will keep me company.

The art of madness in magic

the japanese have inspired me
to learn the elusive art of balance. 
not too much, never too little
just lagom, like the swedish believe. 

and when you leaned in to kiss me,
under the rain, the warmth of your hands
starting fires in my soul, 
teasing music playing behind us,
darkness all around, smiling,
and the lightning taking pictures of us,
I found that perfect moment of balance.
that moment when time stops
to appreciate the beauty of you and me.

never "us"
just you and me.
nothing more to hope for,
and nothing less will do.

if there is love in this world,
it would look upon us
and shake its head in wonder,
not believing that such a thing exists.
