I ask my angel for forgiveness
The tears are falling down my face
If there was only a possibility
I would have folded you in my embrace

It made no sense, you looked so fine
Are you a lost angel now with translucent wings
I lost my way, wanted to show you all my love
I would have given you delightful things

You are playing with my heartstrings
I still sing you a song each day
About a little taste of heaven
I will never forget, I’ll never go away

I’ll try to hold you in everlasting time
But a guardian angel guide you home
Angel Dust is floating down my head
I wipe my tears away, now I am alone

My heart is pounding, pounding
It doesn’t know the rhythm anymore
My brain finds it amazing
The things my heart is crying for

The brain is swelling, swelling
My skull is way too small
For the thoughts of compassion
For my loved ones above all

My skin is crawling, crawling
My hair just stands upright
Something creepy is coming
I’ll close my eyes real tight

My feet are running, running
Just right up to the edge
No do not worry, I will not jump
That I can solemnly pledge

The clock turns to midnight
Time to go to sleep
I’ll cuddle up into your arms
Because you’re mine to keep

A young man comes to court
He must answer for his deed
Of all the things were tort
It was his time to treed

Instead of repent however
He comes with a story about his act
And thinking he was very clever
He stated things as they were fact

When he was just a little boy
He had everything his heart desired
He lived his life in smiling joy
And was by all greatly admired

He did not have to ask his mom
Whether it was a sandwich or a toy
Whatever he wished with great aplomb
His mom surfeit through excess cloy

He was always cheerful and content
Nothing too crazy or too weird
There was nothing of discontent
And his mom never interfered

But man, the judge said suddenly impatient
What was so bad, why did you go astray
Did you think the laws were of the ancient
Or doesn’t it fill you with dismay

No sir, my mom is the sweetest of them all
She has always done everything for me
But she really never had the gall
To disturb me or set me free

So therefore I was traumatised and afraid
There is still the thing that I dislike
Because no matter how hard I begged and prayed
She never gave me a pink bike

So when I think of my favourite toy
That pink bike comes to mind
It’s what I really would enjoy
But that was the one thing she declined

She wished me prosperity and curiosity
As well as a generous state of mind
She wished me exuberant dreams in ferocity
And all the inspiration I could find

She taught me to have a conversation with the moon
And how to kiss a frog into a prince
To sip inspiration on a lazy afternoon
From the pool of wonderment and convince

That white pumpkins and fairytale coaches are the same
And sleeping in castles just takes a sheet
To create an enchanted wood or fairy wing frame
And caterpillars are just very neat

My fairy godmother gave me fireflies and dreams
Taught me that secret whisper must be loud
Tears are in truth coloured candies who float into streams
And you can see miracles in a cloud

“Moral courage is a more rare commodity
Than bravery in battle or great intelligence”
It seems to be for most people an oddity
Because what they want takes at any time precedence

Only few people will stand up for what is right
And know where they belong in time, space or dimension
The rare who will criticize and put up a fight
Who don’t seem to care about adapt or convention

There are those who are doing what has to be done
Some say they are heroes, but they will say they are not
It is just that they have fearlessly overwon
The terrifying cleverness of the Gordianknot

Against all odds, they will continue to protect
And they stand up for the vulnerable and the weak
Whatever they do, they always earn our respect
Because the sanctuary of our world is unique

“Moral courage is a more rare commodity
Than bravery in battle or great intelligence”

Poeff … there was a major crash
Of the stock market exchange
A big cloud evaporated my stash
I was in a state of derange

All that’s left is an old ragged jeans
I can no longer bade in wealth
I have no more funds or means
Luckily I still have my health

Mommy
Can you teach me how to choose
How do I know what I need to use
There is so much on this wonderful earth
But how do I know what is worth

Mommy
You gave me so much stuff
Don’t you think I had quite enough
I don’t need your presents anymore
But do you know what I would adore

Mommy
Will you give me a sincere cuddle
Or do you think that is too much trouble
A pat on my head, a warm embrace
Ten kisses on my cheek just in case

Mommy
Will you stay with me tonight
When the moon is shining bright
Can I lay my head to rest
In your arms and upon your chest

Mommy
That would be the best present I ever get
A life without sorrow or regret
Because when you know all is right
I’ll give you a kiss and hold you tight

Misty rain and autumn time
The changing phases of the season
The leaves are now falling in rhyme
The turning of the earth has its reason

It is preparing us for gratitude
For all living things on earth
We need a little change to solitude
The appreciation for all things worth

An insight in the melancholy mood
Just like the autumn colors spread
We are grateful for our food
Our clothes, the roof over our head

We take some time to think about
Our family and friends
To give them shelter no doubt
And everybody wants amends

I’m longing for a summer breeze
Just for one more time
One last look at the mystical seas
The sea surf so sublime

And then I will turn around
Towards the splendor of the fall
The powerful and mighty sound
Of the leaves on branches tall

She stood alone against the wall of the room
Her eyes were roaming over the crowd
Her gaze was off putting and you would assume
She wore a sign: ‘friendship not allowed’

But instead she was looking for the one
The only person who would see
Beyond the urge to go on the run
And saw her as she truly could be

If anyone would give her a chance
To look beyond the first impression
And search for more than just a glance
Or only see her bleak expression

They would see an amazing girl
Full of wonderful imagination
With a large fantasy to unfurl
And a great feeling for conversation

She turned away and almost left the room
When a hand was laid on her arm
A knight in his magnificent costume
Whispered I do you no harm

But will you share this dance with me
And tell me how you are
Because as far as I can see
You are my shining star

I see beyond your sadness
The suffering and the bruise
Your folly and your madness
The sorrow and the blues

I see a girl with a great smile
An eagerness for life and joy
And although you can cry for a while
There’s no one that can destroy

Your inner beauty and your dreams
The cheerfulness and charms
You will never lose that so it seems
As long as you fit in my arms

When I take a peek in the scrapbook of my life
The memories fill my old and weary heart
I’ll think of all the fun things I have done
And appreciate it like a work of art

I recollect the games of ancient times
The masker for my beauty sleep
The empty elegant perfume bottles
The picnic basket that I still keep

The green tent reminds me of a holiday
With orange sun, blue see and yellow sand
Or the purple wig for the yearly carnival
At the festival where I gave a helping hand

Neatly folded I kept a piece of fabric
From the first dress that I made
It was a leftover of my bedroom curtain
Elegantly cut out from the heavy brocade

And tucked in the corner of a paper box
I find a ticket of the first movie we saw
And as strange as it might sound
An empty popcorn box and a shared straw

I open up a worn and torn address book
And I can see almost every face
I know that now they are old like me
But there are only a few that I misplace

I wonder if they have the same collections
In pictures frames and boxes, just like mine
And take a sneaky peek now and then
To ensure that everything still is fine
