Tiden: poetisk refleksjon om tidens helbredning

Although the English language is by far more descriptive and “alive” (in my opinion), my mother tongue is Norwegian – who would have guessed when my poetry collection book will be fully in English? Jokes aside (yeah you know 2022; global world, Internet, and SoMe), here is a short poem in Norwegian…

.. and I was going to say “don’t get used to it”, but you know – never say never. PS: see below for the translation in English, but please keep in mind rhyme does not necessarily translate that well.

TID (Norwegian)

Tid leger ingen sår,

Den bare tikker og går.

Skal livet smile,

Må du lære deg å deale.

.

TIME (English)

Time heals no wounds,

It just ticks and moves on.

If life is to smile,

You must learn how to deal in life with style.

Sunshine for You: Share a Smile – Feel Less Blue

Sunshine for you

Sunshine inside and out,

That’s what I’m all about.

Be the sunshine when you can,

Like it’s part of your plan.

For one is never fully dressed,

Without a smile on one’s face,

Even when it’s rainy days.

Despite these facts,

A smiley face can be just an artifact.

Thus, here is a little spark and shine,

For you to, hopefully, feel more fine..

Whether we feel happy or blue,

Let’s share a smile me and you.

‘Bend or Break’: Guiding Your Way Through Life’s Hurdles

Bend or Break

They say we bend,

So we don’t break.

But what if that is a mistake?

Maybe we need to break,

To truly awake?

.

In any case,

I bend,

‘Cause it’s my trend.

.

And I smile,

‘Cause it’s my style.

.

And I’m in the sun,

‘Cause it’s fun!

Calling All Queens (& Kings): A Celebration of Strength and Diversity

All Queens should have a date night,

So bright,

And full of delight!

.

The date is with food,

‘cause that is a good mood!

Add some wine,

And you’ll be fine!

.

As a Queen, you should,

And surely you would,

Treat yourself good!

.

So dress up for you,

And don’t feel blue.

Rather fall through,

On your high-heel shoe,

A promise to you,

To stay true.

.

True to your heart,

And your art,

Because you are smart,

(and true to your heart.)

.

Woman in heels posing, leaninf behind
Woman in heels posing by the water

So have some wine,

And be perfectly fine.

Put together,

Light as a feather,

And enjoy the weather.

.

Your crown might not show,

But you and me both know,

It is tough.

/

Queens and Kings, the 8th of March we recognize the Queens! The whole week should be our scene, or even the year! The 8th of March marks International Women’s Day, and although we should mark it, let’s look at the broader picture. Let’s not congratulate women for their gender, but rather put diversity, equity, and inclusion on the agenda. Let’s discuss and also not agree on everything; let’s agree to disagree. A huge part of diversity and inclusion comes from different perspectives and having different opinions – which is good! Agreeing on everything is not the answer, but rather reflecting and asking critical questions to evolve into a better future.

That being said, love & light to all Queens & Kings / CG

Success

If you want to succeed,

You better believe.

Because if you believe in you,

You might find your dream come true.

But it does not happen overnight,

Nor in a dream by night.

.

Yes, if you are to succeed,

You better believe,

Have the courage to try,

And no deny you will fail and might cry.

They say it takes sweat, blood and tears,

But if FAIL is only First Attempt In Learning,

Do a 180 and get on your feet.

Who knows how many tries in the heat?

But if you want it enough,

You will find the way.

For in the end,

The success will be sweet,

But it is the journey and whom you meet,

That will make you feel complete.

.

So if you want to succeed,

Then you better believe.

Take the steering wheel,

And be ready to work a great deal!

Poetry

‘Mad Minds’

This world is mad. Mader than the hatter. And though they said the best people are…. Do we really think so when we see the scars? There is no such thing as love anymore,

no relationships, only situationships.

“Everyone” has not only a person but persons. Married, but ladies on the side. Here money rules them all. Capitalism and a broken generation. Respect and trust are not to be found. Yeah, everyone fucks around.

By not even a click of a button, but a face recognition to open the phone. Only a few swipes for you to feel like you’re on a thrown. A new conquest for you to have… only to break their backs.

But not only backs are broken, souls are hurt, and hearts have finally spoken. Hearts have shattered and emotions gone, for if you are to survive you must be the cold-hearted one….Or so this life has shown.

What happened with chivalry? Words of kindness? The forehead kisses, only

for the one?

…What happened to the love?

If you care, you are even mader. For emotions are to be abused, don’t fall into the trap or you’ll end up bruised. Yeah, in a world where money rules them all, you can’t let yourself fall. For if you do, shame on you. The fault is yours, and yours only. So if you care, leave it behind. Go and find that money mind. Then you’ll survive and thrive. As crazy as it sounds, that’s the only way to the crowns. If you care and don’t manage to find that other mind… go through the door and leave this world behind.

Go fuck someone to unfuck yourself. Fuck all the fucks away. When no fucks are given and money rules, you have finally found the tools and jewels.

But in the end, down the line, you’ll find another mad mind. An empty life is what you made, from the mistake of only getting laid.  

//

All the best,

Where should I go, before I wander off to nowhere?

The date of publishing and launching my book is approaching! Very exciting times I must say, and I’m so eager for you all to read through the poem collection of “The Broken and The Divine” ;trying to capture life and love, loving life and soul searching through life’s corners and nature’s wonders. The book has been written over a heartbroken summer… but let me tell you:

We often say love hurts, and that we make beauty from pain. But I will refrain, that trail of thoughts.

It is not the love which hurt, with all its passion and warmth; love will heal.

It is the pain of love leaving, the sadness, anger, and darkness we feel; which hurts us until we squeal.

Love will heal… and in the process of healing, we leave the beauty we see within art and poetry. It is a beautiful thing, this healing. It is not beauty from pain; it is beauty from a healing soul where sadness leaves and something else takes its place. It is where words play a beautiful rhythm, and someone dances gracefully – when sunshine and light enter with open arms; When love yet again enters life, but a different love this time; self-love.

Because;

They say spread your wings,

And you’ll learn how to fly,

But what if that is a lie?

Maybe all you have to do is believe,

That you are more than you seem…

Or think…or understand.

Something which lies underneath.

So…

Underneath it all, who are you at your core?

Send your interest in the launching of the book here! Then you will receive notifications about the date of publishing and a special surprise if you buy the book.
