Svanhildur Njálsdóttir Poems

When the sandman calls your name
will you be prepared to come?
Are you going to fall to his will?
Close your eyes
...

I am a song
Sung among
the jolly rangers
of stranger plains
...

Kiss me please
under a falling star
a dying sun
kiss me please
...

Come fall with me,
Over the sun and under the sea,
Stay under cover,
And drown with your lover,
...

I am the watcher
Looking in throw the glass
The tails that it tells me
In my tapestry I spin
...

The best poem in the world
will never be read
when everyone is writing
The best song in the world
...

Tonight I fall from heaven
The slippery serpent embedded in my silvery soul,
Tonight I fall from heaven,
My murderous mind filled with malicious means
...

Reach from the sun to the moon in the sky
holding close the light liquor of life
falling down the shaft of corruption
to crawl up with bleeding hands
...

All I want is for you to sing to me
Set me free
So please
A word to the wise I came to be
...

Burn the roots
but keep the roses
Treat the wound
but keep the scar
...
