O Lord, I cannot live on the land –

Let waves float me out over the sea.

Drinking foaming waves, I would soon

Turn into an Angel and fly away free!

In the city of the cruel,

There’s no value in endeavour.

I bury myself in thick white snow

To hide my heart forever.

But if I cower away from battle

Unnoticed and hard to see,

How can I then resent it

When fate’s unkind to me?

 

In my careless youth, I’d many a fault,

And made countless mistakes, of course.

Yet I am still a fiercely burning force,

And though I’m still far from my goal,

I’m a blue flashing, LIGHTNING BOLT!

My head is aching from this empty affair.

I am tired by words and words going nowhere.

I’m so distressed – stop haunting my dreams.

And I curse you for leaving me to despair.

 

 

It’s distressing for me that I’m held in disdain –

Love’s showing an ugly face now again.

And when I remember, I’m full of regret –

Hot bitterness swells and fills me with pain.

Now we are the casualties

Of shameless lies and slurs again.

Like a venomous snake, cold words

Wind and slither down our lane.

 

And now I’m lying in my grave –

He buried me before I was dead.

I am so hurt by this man of ice –

The man with who I shared my bed.

 

Josephine, you’re so receptive –

Like a mother you’ve been to me

You were sent by the Almighty

As my inseparable twin to be.

Let me sing, poets, let me sing,

And let your applause sweetly roll.

Today, flowers bloom in my heart –

White lilies, the queens of the soul.

For you, a garden’s unfurled,

And my lilies will cover the world.

 

Butterflies of gorgeous hues are dancing here before my eyes,

And as I write down every verse, it seems I am in paradise.

I have become Happiness’s choir.

Look at me, people, and admire!

 

Applaud me, cheer me, warmly praise me –

Help my inspiration raise me.

May in my words joy be revealed.

Dear folks, let yourselves be healed!
