Breakthrough

While you were being captive
A world of beauty went its way unnoticed.
Wonders unfolded outside your little cell
and you only dreamed of that which you missed.

Time is merciless, waiting for no one.
You needed too much time to explore.
Prickles only sting the crude,
now someone else's blood paints this wooden floor.

Clasped from the side, you succumb to an urge
to never touch the rose you adore.
Held back by fears by shadows of doubt,
you watch the waves leaving the shore.

Your high ambitions left you unscathed,
although your soul perhaps a cloudy mist.
Yet the blue horizon still gleams in your wet eye
along with a wish to exist...

Ordinary love

Thinking of you on the way to the supermarket
Is like melting chocolate on a hot day:
It feels so natural, knowing what you like
I know now why supermarkets are there.

I almost forgot that yesterday was your birthday;
In my world this is not important.
You made a big deal out of it
I decided I would go buy you a present today.

The supermarket is open just for you
You don't like chocolate,
So I guess I will get you flowers
You don't like flowers either, but this is our little secret..
