Victory and loss
is for mere mortals
this is beyond life and death
this is pure equilibrium of souls.
Thanks for the inspiration, Carmel.

Hear me read it:
I talk
to many
people.
I’m known
to many
people.
I have many
colleagues
acquaintances.
The only one
I want
in my life
is you
everyone else
are puppets.
Still I am
un-noticed
not wanted
abandoned
dismissed
forgotten…
…by you.

Hear me read it:
Waiting for death
true love passed away
waiting to die.
I welcome death
as I live
death will be
my relief
the end will be
a new beginning.
Born once again
free from sickness
born once again
believe in true love
born once again
kiss for the first time
make love
for the first time.
I welcome death
when it comes.

I wanna be
the perfect man
in your life
the man who
watches over you
takes care of you.
I wanna be
with you
when you need
care and comfort
give you nearness and warmth
when you least expect it.
I wanna be
the one who nurses you
when you are ill
the one who wrap
you in warm
blankets and quilt
when you freezes.
I wanna be
he who speaks
with you
not to you
cry together
with you
hold
your hand
when you’re afraid.
I wanna be
the bedrock itself
you can hold on to
when the ground crumbles
the lion who protects you
when danger threats
and the eagle
who lifts you
above the abyss.
I wanna be
yours, my love
only your
perfect man.

Jeg vil være
den perfekte mannen
i ditt liv
mannen som
passer på deg
tar vare på deg.
Jeg vil være
hos deg
når du trenger
omsorg og trøst
gi deg nærhet og varme
når du minst venter det.
Jeg vil være
den som pleier deg
når du er syk
den som pakker
deg inn i varme
pledd og dyner
når du fryser.
Jeg vil være
han som snakker
med deg
ikke til deg
gråte sammen
med deg
holde deg
i hånden
når du er redd.
Jeg vil være
selve grunnfjellet
du kan støtte
deg til
når jorden vakler
løven som beskytter
deg når farene truer
og ørnen
som løfter deg
over avgrunnen.
Jeg vil være
din, min kjære
bare din
perfekte mann.
