Soliae in Poetry & Free Verse

How

How can you say it's all OK

if we all know it ain't the truth?

How can you say you are the best

if noone ever thought it true?

How can you say we'll understand in time

if we already know what's going on?

How?

How?

Who

So tell me

who do you pray for at eve?

who do you cry for at night?

who do you greet everyday at morn?

who do you laugh with at noon?

Oh tell me

Who is it?

Who is it?

The Queen

the queen! the queen!

rides forth from her castle

and at her side! and at her side!

rides her dead husbands ghost

she tricked him! she tricked him!

to think that she means well

but no! but no!

what she plans is not at all

he believes! he believes!

the lies she has told him

and now! and now!

they will bring our end

Beware. Beware.

beware beware

of what the earth may bring forth

for death and despair

are loyal to it

beware beware

of what fire may burn

you heart your home

your love your foe

beware beware

of what water may drowm

your corpse your friend

your treasure your land

beware beware

of what the air may bring

for it carries poison and lies

in its grasp

Ice and Death

the king

the king

will come back to his hall

where the raven and the crow

long ruled over the stone

the witch

the witch

comes flying from the north

where wolves long ruled the ice

and death takes what it wants

the knight

the knight

deserts whom he once served

as death and cold prevail

help will come but at a cost

the stars

the stars

may yet fall from the sky

a choice will have to be made

shall they guide or shall they fade

You know

sometimes I feel like

nobody would miss me

and that it would be

so incredibly easy

to just jump off a cliff

and disappear into the sea.

Fernweh

I wish I would be

far away from here.

In another world

where everything is good

and I can live in peace.

But it is just

a dream.

Just one of many

dreams that will soon be forgotten.

Just one of many

dreams of a better world.

A world with all kinds of creatures

with everlasting snow

or a lonely wold

just me and the trees around me

just me and the wind.

But such a world doesn't exist.

Or does it?

See

Words are not enough

for me

to forgive you

for what you've done

to me

Words are not enough

to let me

see your regret

Words are not enough

You can't redo the past

but you can try to make me
