I do know (Rubliw)

We will
meet each other
on a bright summer day
or in the chilly winter May
and all this great love between you and me
will be lasting eternally
and the things that bother
will fade away
with love.

You do burrow right into my soul

You do burrow right into my soul
through every barrier that I have made
and when you are near
every resistance crumbles

and I see a kind of grace in your eye,
a kind of sparkle that entices and speaks to my heart
and with you time gets wings and does fly
as if to my life you are destined to be a part

and to you all kinds of resistance is weak
while your presence is driving me mad
and even the look, the expression of your face
talk without words

and have a serious reality to it
as you are in my pulse and in every breath
as if you are made to fit
to be a partner even beyond the limitations of death.

Jeopardy (Rubliw)

Pests like
Ebola, Aids, do strike
and crime is running rive
while in jeopardy is each life.
The great Day of Judgment must draw near
on the faces of people I see fear,
some do still live in bliss
the future is
unclear.

This kind of love I have not known

Like a thunderbolt from a blue sky
you came suddenly into my life
and now that you are my wife
there is great heartache in each goodbye

and day and night
I do miss you when you are out of sight
and when you are gone
I am alone

and this kind of love I have not known
before you did become my very own.

On another earth

On another earth
in another place and time
you will again be mine
but while your adult offspring
try to run your life
our marriage lays in shatters

and from their birth
they acted as if being divine
but to me they are without spine
and still the birds outside do sing
while all around me there is strive
and to them it does not really matter

but on this world you are heartbroken
while everything with meaning is falling apart
and the hurt lays unspoken
as a cruel kind of art

that you do not deserve
and to nothing there is any method, reason or rhyme
while the clouds of destruction are gathering
and although we are apart you are still my wife
and your children do gather

in their own kind of celebration
while I keep praying to the Lord of creation
to intervene but He is hidden in the shadows,
stays totally unseen and life moves on
and from my life you are gone.

On the other side of known reality

I

On the other side of known reality
there is a dimension that threads the world bare
and far away of the natural conversance and knowledge

reality is fabricated
and outside the terms of time
there is a place where another reality begins

and on the other side of midnight
time is totally lost
and somewhere in the late night

the subconscious tries to reach to it
and in dreams does built a magic carpet
that can find a bridge to it,

to a world that suddenly does appear
but usually with daylight does again wear out
and does disappear away into the nought.

II

Sometimes however unknown objects are seen,
people witness lights in the sky that does blind them
when unknown forces work in on nature
and people do believe
that other space beings want to find them

and others do want to measure energy fields
as proof that other foreign entities are on this planet
and its as if they do know something about these strange things,
are trying to do scientific research to unknown knowledge

but it is know that a great war rages each day
between Michael’s angelic host
and the evil demonic forces of Lucifer
and sometimes the war spreads far and wide

and man stays caught in the middle of it,
when words and actions
lets the destiny of each human being
hang in the balance.

Death

To some people death comes serene
but I have seen it coming
with great fear and pain
as a unknown something
wiping clean life’s scene
shattering the lives of those still living
again and again
and yet to some it comes silently as a sleep
while in its dark mysterious phantom some does weep
as still nearer and still nearer it does creep
as a end to things and to life
or a interlude to a new beginning
of that which lies unknown.

The ultimate question

The ultimate question:
what is love,
why does it exist
and why sometimes not?

Or was it life?

It all depends on how you look at things:
by the heart or scientifically.

The garden of my heart

The garden of my heart
is empty when you are gone
and its as if every plant
that I have in it does perish

and although
I do give great care to everything
something essential is missing

and I bring everything to inside
and wait like a winter
on a new beginning

and it is as if the sun is away
and as if the frost
does extend deadly cold fingers
while you are missing.

King David

The women sing
David has defeated Goliath of Gath

and the Philistines flee
when David is king
as they are scared that he is going to obliterate them
and David and his Israelite army is formidable

as a omnipotent God is guarding him
with whom at times he deliberates
and God says to David: “you cannot build my temple
as on your hands there is blood”

and ten thousand men fall before him,
ten thousand men and many more
but David has got remorse over his ways
and stays trusting the decrees of God.
