Life passes you by
When you sit still,
But when you move,
Then life moves with you.
***
Please believe in all you see
In all you hear
In all you smell
In all you taste
In all you feel
And in all you know is real.
***
As an adult
If I could but see
With the eyes of a child,
Would I not be the happiest man alive?
***
Yesterday’s tears are tomorrow’s smiles.
***
Just because
We do not perceive something with our eyes,
That does not mean
That it does not exist.
***
Half on nothing
Can not be perceived.
***
The soundless tears
Are the most painful tears.
***
If things can’t get any worse,
Then they can only get better.
***
Days only differ
When we do something different,
Days will always be the same
As long as we are the same.
***
Our tears can be precious,
But when they fall on emptiness,
Then they are wasted.
***
Better is the light from Heaven
Than the light from the flames of Hell.
***
If you have lived in Heaven
You surely don't wish to move to Hell.
For when you have lived with God,
You surely won't appreciate the company of the Devil.
***
Death is relative,
And living is only part of fantasy,
The days no longer last as they used to,
Shorter and shorter they become.
***
That which hurts me the most
Is that which sets me free.
***
In times of war
The true face of man is revealed.
***
If I wish to be your true friend
I must look at the colour of your soul
And not the colour of your skin.
***
Precious are the moments
That never return.
***
To learn is to conquer
The world of unknown.
***
When I hurt
Death is my only friend
And when I am happy
Death is my only enemy.
***
To understand
Is to walk on a path.
To not understand
Is to tumble down a hill.
***
Silence
Is but a word
That is never heard.
***
I cry
But my tears soon dry,
For I know
That today will not last forever
And tomorrow shall soon come.
***
The distance between us
I feel in my heart.
***
As long as I feel pain
I know I'm alive.
***
When you know
You must speak
But when you do not know
You must be silent.
***
The opposite to secrets, lies and deceit.
The opposite to all hidden,
All strange and obscure.
One word,
One meaning,
Truth.
***
Though I see a dark sky
I will not crawl up and die.
***
To be stupid, is easy.
To be clever, is easy.
But to be stupid
And pretend to be clever
Or to be clever
And pretend to be stupid
Is the hardest thing of all.
***
The night is not just time,
It is all the morning
Does not reveal.
***
You have to look to find.
***
Knowing,
Is not always understanding.
Listening,
Is not always hearing.
Living,
Is not always being alive.
But death,
Is always death.
***
There are never
Enough words
To say
Just how you feel.
***
If I was not speaking,
I would be listening.
If I was not writing,
I would be reading.
If I did not know,
I would learn.
***
The mind and the heart
Rarely agree.
***
If you have no will to live,
If you have no need to survive,
If you have no lust for life,
Then you have nothing.
***
The time that passes
Tires us all.
But we are tired more from the knowledge
That the time that passes
Is never enough.
***
How can I make
All of the right choices,
How can I say
All of the right words,
When I am but a man.
***
Misunderstand not those who cry,
Tears can come easy
To ones eye.
***
Though I cry,
My eyes are always dry,
For my tears can not been seen.
***
The world is on fire
And I can feel its flames.
***
The rain is coming,
The sun shall stop shining,
Hope is leaving,
Despair knows its way well.
***
Tomorrow’s promises
Will always shine through
And the darkness will forever surrender to the power of the light.
***
The beginning of life
Is the end of a dark age.
***
Pictures can be cruel memories
When they remind you of the happiness you once had
And now have lost.
***
Time passes,
Pain goes,
Laughter echoes.
Can you still hear my cries?
Do you still know my smiles?
Can you still be for me all that I need?
***
Freedom must be screamed
And not whispered,
For whispers remain within the confounds of a room
While screams break down all boarders.
***
Winter has come
And the cold has began,
There is no sun
And everywhere black it has become.
***
I cry in the morning
And I cry at night,
For the distance between them
Is not even a baby birds’ first flight.
***
From time to time
I remember,
From time to time
I forget,
But I always feel.
***
Death we long for.
A sweet and peaceful sleep.
Our own escape from a cruel world.
Misery has made its final appearance.
Let us hope we all go to Heaven.
***
A synonym to life
Is nothing but death.
Hand in hand
They travel throughout the land.
One needs the other
In order to survive.
Where there is a beginning
There is always and end.
A synonym to death
Is nothing but life.
***
Imagine your mind
Totally empty,
Imagine yourself thoughtless,
Just imagine
And if you can
You will prove yourself wrong
For you had a thought
Even if it were only your imagination.
One day it may be the only thing
That keeps you alive.
