English poems

by Petter Musken

and she knows!

Poems written when the heart beats at it’s best. Showing that dreams can come true in the meeting between two people who have the courage to open up. Love meetings are the places where dream meets reality. Where the best part in a human is visible. All who have lived have experienced this. If one can create such a meeting there is hope for humanity. Then the divine has been visible and the earthly been more distant. When the rain falls or the sun shines there is a greater rain and a stronger sun, your own. Good luck on your journey.

The Lover

 

When spirits meet true flesh and bone.

The silence makes their heart to stone.

The letter makes the spirit fly.

The silence is a way to die.

 

This poem makes my spirit fly.

My thoughts and love have made me cry.

I long to meet your eyes at last.

For the lover nothing is to fast.

 

You sleep and dream another place.

But I am there in all your space.

You walk around in sun and rain.

I look at you in all I gain.

 

Be sure I think of you today.

Be loved in all you give away.

Be here with me another day.

Believe me when I say:

 

Spirits meet true flesh and bone.

Silence is a holy stone.

Letter makes the spirit fly.

Love will last and never die.

 The spirit grows

 

When souls from heaven meet on earth.

The steps they take can make a birth.

Of all the joy from heavens nest.

Of all the love they love to test.

 

Your soul has found me here.

My senses hear you clear.

Your open heart will show

and open heart to love.

 

More than space and time.

Opens door for door.

Finding more and more.

 

Coming through my space.

Showing your true face.

Leaving nothing back.

Find that nothing lack.

 

Soft and gentle.

More and mental.

Be there always.

Making doorways.

 

See you there

I am here

We are close

Nose by nose.

 

Let’s see how the spirit grows.

The Cone

 

The cone is hard but very light

It falls from tree, into my sight.

It tells me all is coming down.

And shows that beauty can be found.

 

Yes, this story has a clue.

I have fallen hard for you.

And the beauty that I see

Are made for you and me.

 

______________________________________________

 

My Rose

 

My rose for you is clean and bright.

It grows from ground into the light.

 

My rose is opening more and more.

It reflexes his Light into your door.

 

My rose has smells that no one knows.

It can be felt when you come up close.

 

My rose is me, and all I give.

It is the reality in what I live.

 

My rose is yours and all to know.

My dearest you, I’ll show you how.

 

______________________________________________ 

 

Lets be seen

 

 Lets fly in to the light.

Lets hold each other tight.

 

Lets love the one we see.

Lets grow till we are free.

 

Lets show that we respect.

Lets show that we reflect.

 

Lets move in our time.

Lets come what's yours and mine.

 

Lets cry till we are free.

Lets dry till we can see.

 

Lets follow our dream.

Lets hearts be on the scene.

 

Lets do it.

True love gives all at ones.

True love is your response.

 

The open heart will see.

The open heart will be.

The fear is not from God.

The fear is only odd.

The fear is nothing here.

The fear is not being there.

God has told me that:

He is seen true eyes of love.

God has sent me you.

My, God I found it’s true.

 

______________________________________________ 

 

The old speech

  

It burns so heavily in my brain

I hope some rest of me will remain

 

This meetings are doing me insane

Please let some love still be obtained.

 

How can you sleep and be so calm?

When lying into you, makes me warm.

 

Why are you letting time go by?

When this guy feels like his going to die.

 

Please see in mercy to my soul

Your response makes me hole.

 

You have keys that will unlock.

All the doors and some are shut.

 

Where you lay I’ll come and pray.

Where you stand I’ll hold your hand.

 

Where you sit I’ll sit near by.

Where you run I’ll run beside.

 

Where you’ll hide I’ll find you soon.

Where I hide there still be room.

 

Oh, my love I feel you near.

When I love, all is clear.

  

This was told by some who’s old.

 

______________________________________________ 

 

 Watering my rose

 

 The days will walk, one by one.

and my heart is warm, like the sun.

 

I see your words, where you are close.

I feel your warmth, yes, it shows.

 

I see your feet walking by.

My eyes are wet to, yes, I cry.

 

I shaved my skin for you to touch.

I feel your bless, you bless so much.

 

There is a life inside who knows.

The life inside, oh, it grows.

 

It touches all my inner most.

You are watering my rose.

 

God help me, I am just a man.

Who meet the most wonderful I can.

 

The girl who’s watering my rose,

The one I love, the one who's close.

 

______________________________________________ 

 

 The Man who dare

  

When the imperfect humans meet.

Words who misleads, land at their feet.

 

I who is among the one I speak.

Fell down and showed who is weak.

 

Words who mislead are in the air.

please forgive I had to share.

 

This man is now growing fast up.

The darkness around will not stop.

 

With you I like to share all I hold.

That is the benefit by growing old.

 

I know you can see this clear.

Here is your man, the man who dare.

 

______________________________________________ 

 

 Soon

 

Soon I shall smell the rose that is you.

Soon I shall hold the hand that is true.

 

Soon I shall see the eyes that meets mine.

Soon I shall be, there in your time.

 

Soon I shall hold your warm tender hand.

Soon I shall tell you just who I am.

 

Soon I shall meet your warm softly lips.

Soon I shall float into your kiss.

 

Soon I shall whisper soft in your ear.

Soon I shall call you all that I dare.

 

Soon I shall lay my body quit close.

Soon I shall feel, all of this rose.

 

______________________________________________ 

 

 Being there

 

Yours and my country are not so fare.

That is because I know where you are.

 

Now that I’ve met you, I want escape.

Longing to hold you is no mistake.

 

Filled with emotions, strength and glow.

Coming to show you, all that I know.

 

There is a time for all, my dear.

That is your sentence and I see that clear.

 

But why should time pass when I feel this love.

We should be staying together right now.

 

Being with you makes me hole and true.

Staying without you is singing the blue.

 

But then from the air your message comes.

One touch from you and you has my response.

 

 

You say: I wish I could give and receive a hug.

 

I feel it my dear, I feel like a nug as a bug.

 

 

And in your next sentence are this what you say;

Love you and miss you in every way.

 

What more can be said that will bear you through.

I can’t find anything, except being there with you.

 Mailbox floor

 

No passport was found at the mailboxes floor.

No money collected from the debtor’s door.

 

But phones have been ringing from people around.

The computers have errors and I can be found.

 

The day is now ending and you are close.

Thoughts you are sending smells like a rose.

 

I sit in a chair, in a comfortable rest.

Thinking of you, who are the best.

 

What are you thinking in your own space?

Maybe you have given me, my own place?

 

I’m sending a pray to the heaven above!

God can you see I have fallen in love!

 

And God who knows all have felt my pray!

He knows what I need and He’ll show me one day!

 

But now that I’m here in my earth-bound life.

I feel her soft skin to the naked of mine.

 

One day you’ll see that I open your door.

But first I have to look at the mailboxes floor.

 The Test

 

It’s not that easy

It’s not that hard

It’s only work

that will get me far.

 

When I feel lonely

In all I try.

I know it only

Will get by.

 

When I think

of the one I've meet.

She knows I only

will give my best.

 

And if I only

will give my best.

You know the story

and all the rest.

 

It is not that easy

It is not that hard

It is my life

It is my test.

The Duck Poems

______________________________________________

 

The Diving Duck

 

I will dive in to your world.

But I will surely not drown.

You will see me go down.

But that is just to be around.

 

______________________________________________ 

 

The Impatient Duck

 

Do I look impatient?

Or am I standing still?

Neither of you have the answer!

I’ll fly when I will!

 

 

______________________________________________ 

 

The Floating Duck

 

 Please catch me, darling

here I’m floating in the stream!

I’m wide-awake you see.

I waked up in your dream.

 

 

______________________________________________ 

 

The Fishing Duck

 

 

For me fishing is pure luck.

 

You see I’m not a diving duck.

 

I can stand in days until I see.

 

Fishing is not a natural part of me. 

 

 

______________________________________________

 

The Jumping Duck

 

If you think I jump of joy?
You’re right my dear, but I’m not a toy.
 
You see I jump to see you in your eyes.
And when I jump I realise.
 
If I didn’t jump at all, non-would see me.
I’m not that tall.
 
So here I jump away again.
This one will jump, to the bitter end.

______________________________________________

 

The Lucky Duck

 

 

It is not autumn it’s just some leaves.

Falling around from the bended trees.

 

Don’t let the weather surprise more.

This is the nature; it’s not a war.

 

Chances are come from all around.

You should be glad, look what you found.

 

Someone has told me that happiness grows.

It’s right in your face, see how it shows.

 

Stand up and walk, if you are a duck.

Peter is coming and he is your luck.

 

______________________________________________

 

The Old Ducks 

 

 

I’m not that strong to sit and wait.

I need some comfort, so don’t be late.

 

Yes, stroke my belly and kiss my head.

If this is not happening soon, I’ll be dead.

 

In my thoughts we have been doing this a lot.

Sometimes I’m sitting and sometimes I’m not.

 

When lovers are close and give what they have.

Then I don’t mind growing old that is not that bad.

 

 

______________________________________________

 

The Duck Behave

 

I am trapped and I can’t escape.

So I better be nice and wait.

 

But no one will see me here.

Hiding like this gets no one near.

 

Finally I realise.

My duck behave is no disguise.

 

 

______________________________________________

 

The Happy Duck (or am I a chicken?)

 

 

I’m singing and dancing from and island of love.

The baby I have meet have showed me how I grow.

 

The beauty of my dancing can God only see.

But the happiness I’m feeling is made for you and me.

 

 

______________________________________________

 

The Looking Duck

 

Shall I look from the right?

Or shall I look from the left?

 

Standing here about,

I will soon know what’s best.

 

It’s not that deep water.

But I can get cold feet.

 

The way I’m behaving,

show’s the man you’ll meet.

 

Some of me are hidden

But that’s not a lot.

 

The most of me are living

so I can give you all I got.

 

 

______________________________________________

 

The Prepared Duck

 
Look at this guy!
He is not shy.
 
He likes woofing around.
But he is not a clown.
 
Have you meet him before?
He comes to your door.
 
He’ll lie down at your feet.
The guy you will meet.
 
So you better prepare.
He will be there.

 

______________________________________________

 

The Deep Entrance

 

 

Come on in Peter, Dear!

It’s nice to see that you are here.

 

I’m sorry I didn’t tell you this.

You can fall down if you try to kiss.

 

You knew this woman was deep and true.

But you are diving into the blue.

 

Yes, my entrance is deep for you.

But I am here, tidily do......

 

 

______________________________________________

 

Countless times

 

Countless times

I have opened my heart

to meet you woman.

 

Countless times

I have left you,

like you left my heart, woman.

 

Yet another time

have I've been asked to open my heart,

like you have opened yours, woman.

 

Yet another time

shall two souls meet

at the edge of their banks

to look inward and outward.

 

Yet another time

shall two souls struggle their fight

to see their possibilities

and win their victories.

 

Let us kneel and pray that we must succeed

and that our looking inward and outward

will show us the way to Your Kingdom.

 

Amen!

 

______________________________________________

 

 Everything is fin

 

We struggle true our pain.

Always doing the same.

On and on we try.

Never saying goodbye.

 

Making the same mistakes.

When we know what it takes.

Blaming it on the same.

Man and woman shame.

 

Tears are falling down.

Some falls on stony grown.

Some in soil where growth

find it’s way to both.

 

The marry goes around.

In all space and time.

If we stay and shine

everything is fin.

 

______________________________________________

 

 Surrounded by Love

 

I am surrounded by this love!

Is it from Earth or from above?

 

It fills my mind, it fills my soul.

I thank you God the one who knows.

 

Somehow I know were it is from.

It is a gift from the greatest sun.

 

It shines and warms my lonely day.

It’s sent from Him to whom I pray.

 

He knows my heart, He knows my love.

He sees my fight and how I grow.

 

So if I struggle for the best!

He’ll light the fire and all the rest!

 

______________________________________________

  

 The Light Within

 

My source is from the Light within.

It strengthens me not to sin.

It opens up my thoughts to see,

that you and I are family.

 

It takes away the harm and hate,

And makes me want to reunite.

It makes me want to laugh and love.

It is from God the One above.

 

And with this source I live and play.

It grows within for every day.

It shows that I am more alike.

The one I knew before my fight.

 

I seldom have the time to rest.

But God is wise he knows my best.

And when I think I need a brake.

God gives me that with no mistake.

 

So as I grow from child to man

My love will last I understand.

And as I learn true all my pain.

I realize what I have gained.

 

______________________________________________

 

Close to You

 

You don’t need the armour anymore!

You can come out and rest from war.

The sun will warmth your skin into the bone.

You will be close and not alone.

 

You have to kneel to come all out.

It feels wrong, but it is right.

In this position you look true.

We see more of the real you.

 

It burns from outside and within.

It’s quite a test but you will win.

It is a birth of something new.

It hurts when you go through.

 

When you raise your head up high.

It’s still a way up to the sky.

But as we say here on the grown.

She is a queen and not a clown.

 

If no one fights there is no war.

Life it self showed you the door.

And when you stand up as a new.

All around stands close to you.

 

______________________________________________

 

Standing naked on the open grown

 

I am standing naked on the open grown.

Never mind what’s all around.

Being clear and not that weak.

My honesty I can’t beat.

 

All I have I got from God.

But you probably know that now.

There will be no life to live

without this freedom that He gives.

 

Knowledge is a gift and curse.

Yes, I know just how it hurts.

But there is no way around.

Standing here on the grown.

 

Oh, we want to run away.

Hide until another day.

But our will is all it takes.

It lifts you up from all mistakes.

 

Close to the fire you feel the heat.

The cold from behind is around your feet.

Turning around is just the same.

Coldness and fire can’t be blame.

 

You have it all just take it out.

Love and forgiveness is the way to fight.

Then suddenly you are not alone.

Standing naked on the open grown.

 

______________________________________________

 

The roses in the garden of You

 

The roses I pick in the garden of You.

The roses I smell show me the truth.

The richness in colour and smell makes me hole.

The richness in softness and Light makes me grow.

 

Your garden is full of all that I see.

Your garden is full of all that can be.

Walking around in this garden of life.

Walking around in the garden I might.

 

You let me in if I see what is close.

You let me in if I see Your rose.

There is more Light than flowers can give.

There is more Light than lovers can live.

 

Oh, yes You shine my garden of Light.

Oh, yes You make my daytime so bright.

Visions are clear in the sight that I see.

Visions are followed by dreams meant to be.

 

I kneel in the Darkness and bow my head.

I kneel in the Darkness to see what I read.

I watch it so close that I have to lay down.

I watch it so close that I fall to the grown.

 

From this place I see what You mean about life.

From this place I separate Darkness from Light.

I struggle and manage to lift my head up.

I struggle and then I suddenly stop.

 

There is no more Darkness there is only Light.

There is no more Darkness there is no more fright.

A warm hand is lifting me up so I see.

A warm hand is lifting me up in the free.

 

Smells and Light fills me then to my most.

Smell and Light fills me, yes, You are close.

God You have showed me the way to my self.

God You have showed me, I’ll be there at twelve.

 

______________________________________________

 

The warmth

 

It is smile and warm tears

that has shown me where to go.

All I promised I would live.

I’ll try to let you know.

 

It is people that I meet

who tells me something more.

What they think and what they feel.

can open up my door.

 

It is everything that comes

when I try to run away.

It will tell me what I meet

 when I will not face the day.

 

When all the boundaries rests

 the joy is what I get.

And you stand there in the light

and show me all the best.

 

______________________________________________

 

They made them self equal

 

They made them self equal

with the young murderer.

They choose to place them self up

as God.

 

The preventive reaction

and justice don

are words that displace

the fifth command.

 

But it cud have been me

I cud have fallen,

intoxicated my self

to do something wrong.

 

I understand those people

who demand her life.

But God let they feel

the opening doubt.

 

The life that is gone

will never come back,

but the life that can live

can show what is right.

 

______________________________________________

 

The spirit who lead

 

I am flying so high as I can.

Leading you towards a land

where sorrow and pain can’t be felt

and memories of darkness have melt.

 

You open your heart to fulfill

all that lies in your will.

Your trouble will soon fade away

and sunshine will fill up your day.

 

Everyone loves you around

no one wants to see you on grown.

When you are about to succeed

the spirit has taken the lead.

 

______________________________________________

 

To the One

 

 
Trying to bring down

paradise on Earth.

All my senses

show me how that hurts.

 
Meeting people

that I try to love.

All my knowledge

want to tell me how.

 
Opening my heart

to the girl I meet.

All my heartbeats

gave my no defeat.

 
Yes, I love you

on and on again.

All my longing

show you who I am.

 
Here I stand

naked and reborn.

All my loving

given to the one.

 

______________________________________________

 

The Call - That Never ends

 

I have been writing from my heart and spirit.

You have been reading how I try to live it.

 

I have been swimming in and ocean of loving

You have been in my mind in all my growing.

 

I have been longing for the one to be there.

You have been closer than all I’ve seen here.

 

I have been patient but my heart keeps beating.

You have been listening to your own beats within.

 

I kneel and fold my hands for praying.

And I wonder if you’re really staying.

 

I am touched by this divine feeling.

Is my life at change with you here in?

 

The reality I see unfolding.

It must be God who is calling.

 

______________________________________________

 

We can’t hide

 

We can run but we can’t hide.

God knows how long we have tried.

 

It is simple to be made.

But it’s a lifetime to be paid.

 

When you think it’s all gone.

It’s just starts all on.

 

It’s a marry-goes-around

It makes you so good and strong.

 

So if you try to hide and won’t pay.

You get a lifetime more to stay.

 

And if that doesn’t make you hole.

You have the eternity to go.

 

Hey Ho! 

 

______________________________________________

 

We will take the time

 

I am smiling

when I hear from you.

My heart beats louder

when your thoughts comes true.

 

It is said

that waiting makes you strong.

But sometime waiting

feel so wrong.

 

Life has learned me

that I shall listen well.

Specially when it is a woman

that does the spell.

 

When one gives

the heart away.

Then the receiver

is meant to stay.

 

If the two

have a different path.

Then the waiting

makes a better start.

 

Not everyone

is meant to be.

But everyone

has love to see.

 

With that in mind

I rest my case.

We'll take the time

and find the days.

 

______________________________________________

 

Invisible life

 

A short time we are given on Earth

before we disappear forever.

Dreams and longings gives birth,

but man is seen no more, never!

 

Even stones that we crush to the ground

and trees that we see all around.

Will exist when we have disappeared,

Yes, almost completely I fear!

 

It's not strange that someone doubt,

that God can really exist.

When all the near ones are gone,

and we are in a mentally twist!

 

You may see the growing of life,

when plants come back up again.

With roots invisible to eye,

they flourish and live in the land.

 

Perhaps the same goes with humans.

Invisible there is a life,

which once will shine in the sun,

and remove all of your troubling doubt.

 

Perhaps your life down here,

is just like a bad dream.

And death will give us new eyes,

to see what we haven't been seen!

 

Many have walked in front

and many will follow on.

The answer to what is waiting,

will come under the new sun.

 

While days and nights are followed,

we live in our dream.

We grow up from the Darkness,

we strive in our stream!

 

Slowly, large things are created,

patiently it flourish and grow.

Once, the fighting spirit will get it,

yes, once the fighting spirit will know!
