[untitled]

on those days
when I take the bus
to work
from son
through hølen
to vestby
the best
travelling musique
through the headphones
for the ears to hear
waylon jennings
or
the soundtrack to almost famous

Autumn (The Same Old Bullshit, Never Ending) Pt.II

autumn
another word to call it -
Fall
the Fall
yes, the Fall
falling apart
everything
when things fall apart
not the fourth album
from the Roots
yet my life
...
the weather
these weeks
gray, overcast and foggy
like my mind
fitting the mood
drowning in thoughts,
stress and anxiety
gone -
far too lost
loss of time
time -
slipping away fast
life wasting away
wasting away the Gods
given creative talents
into nothing

Autumn (The Same Old Bullshit, Never Ending)

the Fall
thirty-one days
four and a half weeks
a month
the days just seem
to bleed together now
time is passing by fast
nothing
is really happening
boring times
it's been
all the same
old routine
stuck
in second gear
thinking, thinking,
and re-thinking
writing, writing,
and re-writing
a month's worth
of thoughts
twenty-seven and a half pages
it all seems
useless,
pointless
stress, worry,
anxiety, and sickness
life -
it feels
like it's all
piling on at once
too much
to take on.
one birthday gone by
and another to come
the ending
of thirties
passing a four year anniversary
ending of a job
weeks of
cold, dreary overcast,
fog, and rain
the early days
of darkness
are coming now
with only
a weekend holiday
to Vilnius
to look forward to.

Ending of the Thirties. (The Last Year)

my thirty-ninth born day
the last year
end of my thirties
an october saturday
and I was born on a saturday,
in the morning
outside
it was typical norsk autumn
cold, gray overcast,
heavy fog and rain
...
next year -
the four-zero.

Just Another One of Those Poems.

autumn october sunday
it was a rainy morning
the air outside was chilly
in the afternoon
the sun tried to show,
fighting to shine
from behind
the clouded overcast
with patches of crisp
clean blue sky
the ipod played on shuffle
I stayed sober
drinking only water
eating cheese filled
green olives and peppers
sitting at the vintage writing desk
writing thoughts
the last year of my thirties
losing another job
with the balcony door open
that crisp cool autumn
october air
I stood
in the balcony doorway
looking out
over the quiet street
of lökkeveien
and the wooden houses
of Son - a small seaside village

indian summer friday
late september
a warm day
with clear blue sky
the swedish countryside
small towns of
Töreboda, Mariestad,
and Tidan
me and my cousin
high on christiana tea
ancient world,
centuries old
viking stones
with runic carvings
driving the two lane
country highway of the 202

[untitled]

a mid-august saturday
skåne, southern sweden
drunk on
beer, cava, and whiskey
a four and a half kilometer hike
through the woods
along over grown trails and
narrow dirt roads
out to small country roads,
dirt and paved
walking by old farm houses and barns,
wheat fields and pastures
stopping briefly to pet cows and horses
the sky was clouded gray, overcast
with slight drizzles of rain
- not long lasting
the wind blew strong
a chilly late afternoon
on the way to
an old world school house
for a dinner with family and friends
