avaintakin kätkettiin ja laivaa lastattiin

It is my namesday today, or however you hippies wanna spell it! I got a congratulating (in Finnish) email of which I was happy. To celebrate the occasion, I'll put out a bit of a childish poem, written sometime this spring.

one can dream

another lonely night
at the dis co
There was a girl
sad eyes, slow motion
I was that boy
staring in the corner
watching,
as another boy took his chance
as I never found my place

see, I kept on searching
there was no one to be found

so I return to this
lonely night
at the dis co
looking for a place to stand
   so I would, for once
be standing so tall, so proud

with the One who isn't
well, one can dream
dream

To celebrate further, you may listen to Putte-Possun nimipäivä (the namesday of Putte the Pig, a rather classical Finnish (?) children's song). There's a link on the right on that page you should click. Not that I'm actually having a celebration of any kind, except for drinking cocoa plus enjoying the rainy weather and my new layout plan for pilpi.net.

a low high

It's all wonderfully hazy now in my world.
I wish I could show it to someone.

I'm wearing a flu tonight
Avoiding responsibility? Isn't it ever enough
will anyone ever have a rest

Not being comprehensible enough though I'm talking in public
afterwards they come and thank me of how sincere I was
having understood not a word

I'm floating here, I'm safe perhaps
perhaps on this second I shall trust, God
That's the only direction I seem to have

This is for you, for that no one
who everyone talks to
from my hazy heated head

Truths are haunting me inside
the ones without a name
without a label to express
the puzzled face of the one who knows you best
my rebellion against communication

hotfall

I'm not scared mind you
thinking of a new life
with my own boundaries,
no I'd never let them go

I'd fall, never fly
fall endlessly,
a puppet on a string
nobody

on the other end, my Lord

socks

I broke a thermometer today
my sick girlfriend is cleaning up
she shouldn't be up
What I think is nice enough
she thinks is a mess
I keep reading Jewish and atheist claims
about my Lord not being
I stayed sick today
well really, she is

too many imaginated meanings

no
go now
let me go
drop it
off

oh,
give in
come on in
take it
on
