Grønn prikk

Snøen krymper seg,
skitten asfalt titter fram,
solen gjør den grå


Gjennom persiennen, 
langs ved gatene,
står hus som kikker
på hverandre


Lyset skifter,
åpne store landskap, 
pøser på, 
mørket jager


Underveis
og innimellom,
tenker jeg
erfaringer gjøres i natten, 
om å bare være

Oslo, mars 2010

Mange bekker små

Langt der ute
er havet, 
med vakkert glimt i øyet,
med frådende kjeft,
med historier i sin mage

Gjennom vinduet
står et stupebrett,
ta sats,
bli med
Jeg gir faen, 
ser på Andy og Marilyn
i stedet

Oslo, mars 2010

Monomann

Tåkelagt står du der,
helt på siden av
de andre
Teenage kicks er din fantasi,
drømmen stjeler troen
på virkeligheten
Du er langt unna sannheten

The Way It Used To Be (Pet Shop Boys)

I'm here
You're there
Come closer
Tonight I'm lonely

Come here
With me
I want it
The way it used to be

What is left of love?
Tell me, who will even care?
So much time has passed
I'd still meet you anywhere

Water under bridge
Evening after day
What is left of love
Here that didn't drift away?

I can remember days of sun
We knew our lives had just begun
We could do anything
We're fearless when we're young

Under the moon, address unknown
I can remember nights in Rome
I thought that love would last
A promise set in stone

I'd survive with only memories
If I could change the way I feel
But I want more than only memories
A human touch to make them real

Another day, another dream
Over the bridge an empty scene
We'd spend the weekend lost in bed
And float upstream

I don't know why we moved away
Lost in the here and now we strayed
Into a New York zone
Our promise was betrayed

I was there, caught on Tenth Avenue
You elsewhere with Culver City blues
Then and there I knew that I'd lost you

What is left of love?
Tell me, who will even care?
So much time has passed
I'd still meet you anywhere

Water under bridge
Evening after day
What is left of love
Here that didn't drift away?

Don't give me all your northern pain
Don't sell me New York in the rain
Let's leave our promises behind
Rewind and try again

What remains in time
That didn't fade away?
Sometimes I need to see
The way it used to be

Miracles (Pet Shop Boys)

Clouds drift away
when they see you
Rain wouldn't dare
to fall near you here
Miracles happen
when you're around
Somehow the grass is much greener
Rivers flow faster and cleaner
Being with you
no matter where
sunlight breaks through
and suddenly there's

A bluer sky
whenever you're around
You always bring
a bluer sky
a brighter day

Thunder is silent before you
Roses bloom more to adore you too
Miracles happen
when you're around
The sunset is deeper and longer
The scent of the jasmine is stronger
Stray dogs don't bite
Birds start to sing
Lightening daren't strike
You suddenly bring

A bluer sky
whenever you're around
You always bring
a bluer sky
a brighter day
Birds fly
even higher in the sky
Sun shines
It's a new day
