Dichotomy
What is this thing
that everybody claims to know
but no one really does?
What is this thing
that everybody claims to feel
but one rarely ever does?
What is this thing
that keeps the world going
or so it seems?
What is this thing
thats everywhere
yet nowhere to be found?
What is this thing
that has my most sincere faith
yet I can never believe its existence?
What is this thing
that makes me a romantic now
and then a cynic?

Shadow
What can I say
of the cherished house I lost
or the ones I found instead.
Should I say anything
about being cheated
or being the treacher perhaps?
Where can I find
the images I see
yet lose sight of.
Can I never find
those memories of yester
my mind wouldn't recall?
Why shoud I cry
for the cat that stung
my hand, leaving it cold.
Should I not cry
even for that infant
I found dead in the bag?
Who should I ask
about the crying child
on her way to Jungfreu.
Should I care to ask
the name of the snow covered town
I walk around without getting lost?
How am I to learn
what are you trying to teach me
if you insist on being so cryptic.
How should I know
what you mean to me
when I know not who you are?
of the cherished house I lost
or the ones I found instead.
Should I say anything
about being cheated
or being the treacher perhaps?
Where can I find
the images I see
yet lose sight of.
Can I never find
those memories of yester
my mind wouldn't recall?

for the cat that stung
my hand, leaving it cold.
