You are for the moments,
I am... for years.

- The Shepherdess

On a rainy January 9

Today I am the pink, I am the punk.
Today I am the cat.
And the Japanese girl who knocks on your door
On foggy nights.
I am the one wearing newness today,
On my ears, body, heart and mind...
Today is just mine.
Today is Red Wine's.

- The Shepherdess

You were intriguing. And I was 'shrouded in mystery',
They believed we were made for each other.
What they didn't know was my 'mysterious' heart got trapped
By your chords of vagueness, carefully tuned.

- The Shepherdess

The face of the Sun

I want to die and see the face of the sun
I want to cry till the world disappears in a fog of tears
And only you are left, and I am bent
In humble supplication and dignity
In the starry splendour of Judgement Day
In the beautiful wrath of your compassion
And the assurance of your exacting forgiveness
Liberation comes in a day
In the silent trumpets and fanfare of repentance

~Scio amo

The Morning Brakes

The Volvo bus driver slams on his brakes and the man with a few extra pounds sitting opposite me is on me; his bag making a purple impression on my knees; his pen drawing a blue line on my arm.

- The Shepherdess

Lovers?

Then with forgotten promises in our skin

And fake “love you” on our lips

We float under the half moon…

Lusting for the bitter taste of land,

Effacing every chance to reach it.

- The Shepherdess

Reconnaissance

Many lips I had kissed

I had caressed many souls

Effaced were many faces

Inking stains on my parole

Sanity prevails

After the storms

Thank you, my glowworm.

Lumiere. Liberte. Liebe.
