Reliance

Reliance

Never give in or budge. Go to the top.

Can’t beat them, join them. Move or get passed over.

Solid as a rock. Firmly stand ground.

Now linked together as one. Still stand when you fall.

Up or down, all is intertwined, ha de Gött!

Want and Need

Want and Need

Want it, got to have it!

That young hot wife to drive off with, in that shiny red sports car. Hair flying in the speed wind.

That brand new phone, backside covered in camera lenses. Join the click party of the happy fit people.

That endless holiday, far stretched tropical white sand beach. Beer served by minimalistic dressed waitresses.

That top management job, private jet to close those big deals. Bank account flooding over by the minute.

That stare from the nightclub queue, sweeping passed. Arms wrapped around curves.

Need, not much.

To live, love and be loved, a family to hug.

Friends, beer, a laugh. Music and a bite to eat.

Don’t cross the stream to get water, ha de Gött!

Concert hall

Concert hall

City reflections. Gates of shiny steel and glass.

Doors to fine arts. Symphonies by strictly dressed musicians.

Stroke of strings under soft chin. The Artist of the orchestra.

Art reflections. Gates of shiny steel and glass.

Doors to rough reality. Cacophony by the vibrant city.

Everyday walking by, a motley crew. The Artists of life.

This is really the doors to the Göteborg Stadsteater, Gothenburg Theater, but the doors to the Concert Hall opposite the plaza are not so photogenic. Artistic freedom, ha de Gött!

The Question

The Question

Love and marriage, go together like a horse and carriage

So they sing the tune

They lived happily ever after

So ended the tale

Rings, a car, children, a house, a mortgage, piles of bills

Love concur all, so the Bible says

But the sinister question, that can end it all

Honey, do I look fat in this?

Wishing

Wishing

All I want for Christmas……..

Someone been very creative in the boathouse.

Wonder what the old fisherman wish for with his longing stare into the distance.

Maybe he wishes that his wife will not learn about all girls he has in every port.

Could be he wish that there, for once, were some tobacco in the pipe.

A more practical wish to be able to fix that hole in the boat.

My guess is that he simply wish that Santa to stop tormenting that accordion!

Just remember that if you smoke, Krampus will come instead of Santa! Ha de Gött!

Lines

Lines

Lines in the sky. Airlines. There in the skyline, high flying.

Commercial airline race. Line up in the blue haze.

Underlining our freedom. People connecting white lines.

Smoke lines to adventure. Draw the line till she choke.

There’s always two sides to a coin, ha de Gött!

Frozen Apples

Frozen Apples

Just like Adam and Eve

Should I pick and eat

Sun kissed but frozen

Would I know it all

Or is it just the Serpent Sun

Lure me

To bite my teeth off

Be curious, but not dumb, ha de Gött!

Leaf in Snow

Leaf in Snow

Autumn transforms into Winter

Frozen water crystals

Scarce light in long nights

Silently swirl down

Dress in bright white

Like a snow white bride

Snow is fun, ha de Gött!

Guitar

Guitar

Picked up, his guitar today
wrapped my hand around its neck
slide my fingers along the strings

Picked up, his guitar today
scuffed up frets from his music
finger tips on his favorite chords

Picked up, his guitar today
the weight in my lap
heavy, as my silent heart

Picked up, his guitar today 

Cherish the music in your life, ha de Gött!
