Holding Liat (2025) (excerpts)

Lift your eyelids
Reveal the opals of your eyes
Among the acacia trees
Let me in to the hills behind your teeth
It keeps going upwards upwards upwards
Upwards upwards upwards

Lush are the woods
The mountains are asking your eyes
To run far
Into my marble quarry night
Where rocks are veined and soft
And skin is pure as night

Boy, I feel so honored
I have seen you sleep
At night you seem so open
If only I could lift your heavy lids
The shampoo bottle label
Is so dramatic I could crumble
Childhood water
Give me the after shower power
Golden globes
The solace of your leaves
Nature's power is so overt

I want your fingers on my lips
I want eyes on my hips
I want to stroke your bowl cut hair
I want your fingers everywhere

Future is a tower
I am looking at the flickering women
I walk among the flowers
But your rose it is the lushest
The tragedy unfolded so dramatically
My heart it still stumbles

Darling will you not remove your breast plate
I feel frayed and I feel torn
Mother of pearl
I am in a porous state

In the dark his eyes are my flambeau
He is my guiding light to follow
Everywhere I go
Boy I feel so honored
I have heard you whisper in my ear

But now that I made you disappear
I fear that I am going to whither

For your blood and shadows my mind is all aglow
We stretch summer in Rome
Resting our eyes on the domes
A whole body on five toes

Kiss beneath the pines
Marvel boy, be mine
House plants
House plants
Kiss beneath the pines
Marvel boy, be mine

Opal - Aglow

Still, you exist
In the movements of my body
And your sweater on a hanger
Is like a ghost on the wall

I remember
There was a ferry
And an island
We were getting nearer
To the island

Now in my dreams
I protect myself from you
In evacuation shelters
The radio
The oranges

I would rather be a baby
Than a sitter
I want to be held
In your arms
Cover me
In your mind's broken laces

We stretch summer in Rome
Resting our eyes on the domes
A whole body on five toes

Your password is
Outside
My password is
The one for you
The book that we read aloud
Was stolen in the alley
Cotton cotton cotton pillow
Soft against your skin
Cotton cotton cotton pillow
Very softly
My sea shell baby

Nacre - Sea Shell

Armor - Girls

I share a glass of water
With my house plants
We are keeping each other alive

I can not believe it is the same moon
I did not really think we would have to strive

I did not realise I was in danger
But you turned out to be a stranger

We stretch summer in Rome
Resting our eyes on the domes
A whole body on five toes

Now on my lap
So close to me
My computer imitates your body heat

Rome

My trees 
Cannot hold on to their leaves anymore
My branches are bristling in all directions
My trees cannot hold on to their leaves anymore
My branches are bristling in all

My song Northern Lights was included in my illustrated music project and second CD The Underliving (available at THEUNDERLIVING.COM). i Dream of Northern Lights but I've never seen one with my eyes. Still I often compose songs and do drawings inspired by them, as I imagine them in my dreams.
