From the day that Michael learned his own name, he was a quiet child. A little, blond-haired boy who didn’t talk unless he was asked to. His parents’ friends found him adorable, and sighed: “That must be every mummy’s little dream…” The truth was different. Although they never said so, his mum...

You’re across the counter, sweeter than a fairy. Giving me my change, and there, I cannot look you in the eye. I wish and wish for our eyes to meet, but afraid you’d look away, I only feel my heartbeat while blushing, blinking at your waist. The warmth of your hand against mine...

One day when I feel a little better, I take this opportunity to visit Ebba. It is snowing heavily. My hands are tightly knot in the bottom of my pockets. I can’t feel my arms, they’re like jelly; but that is better than the feeling they are being torn off. At work, I was not capable of doing...

Wash me away I walk down to the river The sun is shining in my eyes My eyes are red of fever From swimming at the nights And when I look upon the sky I lift my wings and fly I’ll never trust my instinct It only makes me cry to sleep I’m lost into eternity Sinkin’ down the deep...

Television Poem I can’t think of any fun Cause rain has chased the sun. All the flowers have closed, and they are what I love most. I want to fly to another place, where I can watch the sun and gaze. I will feel the flowers bloom and know the summer’s coming soon. But still wet...

A Mother's Wish ”Mom?” I whisper out in the dark air. My bed is burning, and all I can see is almost invisible shadows everywhere. Shadows, and I can’t see what they really are. I don’t remember what my room looks like, except for that my bed is beside the opened window. A cold breeze...
