Preface:
From my earliest childhoodmemories, Ihave hummedmyown words throughmusic that became sentences, they were wordswithfeelings behind them that Ilater wrotedownaspoems.I grew up in ahomewhere theparents were divorced,we children livedwithmymother, Ihad quitea tough time at schoolbecauseofmydyslexia,and in the 70'swhenI went to school therewas notmuch knowledge aboutthisand with this handicap there waswhat bullied us andcalledusslow-thinking and stupid.When Ithen tell theclose ones that Iwould becomea writer then some of thefamilystarted to joke about it,simplyteasing some acquaintances were rude butnot directly to me,becauseI wasnot knowntobesonice, butmany of my friendsthink it wasstrong of me to writeabook. Ilikehistory and poems so Iwrite booksbothwithpoems and history, throughmypersistence Iwas thefirst student in Hallandtotakethe university entrance examinationorally. Iread, amongother things, historyand Archives,knowledge andpedagogy, my interestswerehistory andgenealogy.I hope you find thepoems exciting andcaptivating,I wish you good reading.
BeginAgain
Everyday is afresh beginning
It is not easy to always be winning
Everymorning theworld is made anew
Andthereisbeautiful hope foryou.
Anew dayonceagain begins
Andinspite of oldsorrowand past sins
Puzzles forecasted andpossiblepain Take theheart with theday andbegin again.
Longing
Imagine beingloved forit´sown sake
Do youfeelhow theworldview is beingthrown upsidedownInthe middle of thesickpalesphere of everyday life take.The question comeswhatare youdoing in this world?
In your heartyou wish yourself away
Do youthink life is tooshort?
If youcan't take your thorn
Howcan youfindhappiness behind thenextcrest?
In your heartyou long forthe corner of home
Whereyou canget love andaffection
Youwanta life withoutall thefuss
Butlonging hasits ownlanguage.
Of course,the gaze canignite theflame of love
Butmanypeople'slives still seem to be burned
Sometimesyou wish youcould go somewhere
Wherethere is love and acceptance.
When thelonging feelstoo hard
Remember that afterwinteralwayscomes spring
Andthe sunlightsupyourlifeagain Take care of theraysthatlight up your day.
Keep going
Thereisnoskill in easy sailing When theskies areclear andblue
Thereisnojoy in merely doing Things that anyone cando.
Butthere is greatsatisfaction That is mighty sweet to take When youreach adestination That yousaidyou couldnot make.
Theone

It goes outinspace anddisappears.
It wassoquiet andstill around me
Ienjoyed thetwinkling lightofyoureyes

It felt like we were in astate of bliss.
Time andspace stoppedaroundus

Itried to break free from this enchantment until our bodies collided again.
