…and in the morning when you turn in
I’ll be far to sea.


Oh my love,  it was a funny little thing to be the ones to’ve seen…


I need to lose these poses
Reset my charms
To when I left the factory in your arms…

winter song

20Dec09

This is my winter song to you.
The storm is coming soon
it rolls in from the sea.
My love a beacon in the night.
My words will be your light
to carry you to me…



It is not enough for two people to find each other, it is also very important that they find each other at the right moment and hold deep, quiet festivals in which their desires merge so that they can fight as one against storms.  How many people have parted ways because they did not find the time slowly to grow close to each other?  Before two people can experience unhappiness together, they have to have been blissful together and possess a sacred memory of that time, which evokes a kindred smile on their lips and a kindred longing in their souls.  They become like children who have lived through the festivities of a Christmas night together; when they find a few minutes to catch their breath during the pale, drawn-out days, they will sit down together and tell each other with glowing cheeks about that pinetree-scented nighttime full of sparkling lights…

Such people will weather all storms together.

I am convinced of it!

~Rilke to Salomé,  September 5, 1897


Home, home, home…


Sometimes, when sailors are sailing they think twice, about where they’re anchoring…
