LILLA LATUS

 

No Sense

 

you are not strong enough

to throw away anything

even rubbish

 

looking for an opener

you don’t know

better to open                      

a bottle

or veins

 

and suddenly

the phone is ringing

or someone

is knocking at the door

 

that may bring 

the sense

 

Argument

 

they kept asking

if she was made of gold

as you so crazy about  her

they kept saying

that no one could live on

love alone

 

but she was all yours

made of gold

and diamond

to you

 

love

kept you alive

and sometimes

when you forgot how to fly

she stamped her bare foot

reminding you

that wings are for flying

not for falling down

 

Promise

 

I will follow you

everywhere

 

even to hell

 

and it will not be

the hell
