Rubbles, twisted steel
coloured rags scattered on roads
wailing voices, quiet tears and desperation,
the camera eye
reporting for hours to the world -
it’s so far away here by the telly
turning away sending the SMS rescue
changing the channel
a little tremble in the eye
quickly rejected
ah shit snow tomorrow again
put another log on the fire darling.

Saving dreams in jars
for rainy days
fireflies hand signs

No use
Posted by ashthor on January 13, 2010
They let him keep
the working clothes
and unemployment benefit
at least that after 30 years of work
he still wear his working clothes
as if can not understand
they do not need him anymore.
He can look for jobs from now on to judgments day,
old workers are not in demand
no one will touch them
he cling to his working clothes
since they had no use for him anymore.
-
a world shuttered
old and full of experience
they do not need us anymore
-
Inspiration from present life and folksinger Iain Mackintosh with words of Eric Bogle “no use for him”

Spring
Posted by ashthor on January 12, 2010
Dark branches
with glittering white
a restraining gage
Winters prisoner
longing for freedom

The squirrel landed above
a rascals face appeared
I emerge under powder snow

Double violin

A burning violin
show the way
through the night
lost hope regained
my love and I together again

Monday
Posted by ashthor on January 3, 2010
Waking up this fine Sunday morning
realizing
a new year ahead
as well as yesterday was
and tomorrow will be
So what is all this fuss about?
Last day in December,
and first day in January?
A grumpy nonsense talk
tomorrow is Monday
another working day

Leonard
Posted by ashthor on December 29, 2009
Listen to Leonard
again
amazing words fill my mind
again
to sweep my soul
by dark words
spark of light
in any direction
who by fire
will take this dance
again
reclaiming power
listen to Leonard
again
take control of my life
again if ever

A star came and went -
do you remember why
bells calling out for Christmas day?

COP15
Posted by ashthor on December 20, 2009
All the world’s children
to Copenhagen went
and played in the yard
complaining to each and everyone
“you didn’t do it”

The Haiku version
All the world
at Copenhagen
I wish they had done it

Life goes on
Posted by ashthor on December 18, 2009
Already gone ahead
but many will accompany him
the last few steps
By a friend’s funeral today.
