angels and dust(Arnold Melleby, 08.25.2018)

I fired up on the porch
the sky lit up like open fire
starting off at the Cat and the Fiddle
ending up at the Rainbow

sex on the floor
just to make you feel like a whore
when the morning came
the slut was gone

she put on a salesmans face
looking like she could
save the human race

yeah,
she put on a salesmans face
looking like she could
save the human race

you wanted a part
of my business
you paid me with
your nonsense
making no sense
to me

but, I`m still happy
being happy like this
should be forbidden
to be
making no sense
to me

singing
I`m good
I`m the best
there is no
second best

singing
I`m good
I`m the best
there is no
second best

the wine is setting
when the moon is rising
with the sun
lighting the trail
of the eternal horizon

If I was to speak
I wouldn`t put it
any other way
but, I came and expected
champagne and oysters
but, all I could smell was
frozen peas
and constipation

whenever great poetry is written
whenever great words are spoken
I`ll be there
to be one of the chosen ones
singing like an angel
with dirty feathers
thinking lies
is a better way

angels and dust
angels and dust
angels and dust
I am the only angel
in this room

angels and dust
angels and dust
angels and dust
I am the only angel
in this room

so, cheers
to all the indigenous ones
you took
and you didn`t even bother
to write a book
about it

you see a sky
left to dry
you see a sky
left to die
stil left
of right

angels and dust
angels and dust
angels and dust
I am the only angel
in this room

angels and dust
angels and dust
angels and dust
I am the only angel
in this room

fuckin` a

dorment(Arnold Melleby, 08.20.2019)

clear as silence
clear as ice never melting
clear as the dawn
that chose never to wake up
but remains in a dream never dreamt

to even offer a thought and accept
that anything wrapped in plastic
is good for you
breaks my heart

a crying shame
to nature
a crying shame
to humanity

dorment
lies the DNA
dorment
lies the key
dorment
lies the answers
to all questions asked
too late
dorment

meet your maker
meet your tender light
crashing into the eve
look into the eyes
that never look back at you
meet your soul

dorment
the only place
that thrives
without light
dorment it shall remain
dorment

dorment
lies the DNA
dorment
lies the key
dorment
lies the answers
to all questions asked
too late
dorment

dorment
lies the DNA
dorment
lies the key
dorment
lies the answers
to all questions asked
too late
dorment

for evermore(Arnold Melleby, 08.19.2018)

you read between my lines
before I write them
you walk the storm
before the winds find you

you state your lines
before a single word is written
you seek grounds that the earth
yet has to create

deep, deep blue
the deepest ocean
of them all
a limitless mind

you came as I went
a vigorous hunt for my tail
following my trail
now your obsessive ocupation

I know better
because I don`t know
any better
I hail a flag
that is yet to be seen
by others

the tears I cry
you will never see
as I`ll always and forever
be one step ahead

as they hit the ground
they`ll nourish my seeds
growing a wall to protect me
for evermore

the tears I cry
you will never see
as I`ll always and forever
be one step ahead

the tears I cry
you will never see
as I`ll always and forever
be one step ahead

for evrmore

body language(Arnold Melleby, 08.07.2018)

you shut up
to speak the line 

what does it take
to become your own 
evil twin
I guess only you know
and, of course
your twin

body language
body language
bady language
don`t say a word
everything will be okay
body language

she felt her
veggie head
could explode
like a shotgun fired
on a melon
from a close distance
a dead on hit
boom
her thoughts scattered
everywhere

her dying compass
giving in
to someone else`s 
GPS

body language
body language
bady language
don`t say a word
everything will be okay
body language

endless fear
of a terrible loss
even reality giving in
to an insane fantasy
to rid the pain
stalling tomorrow to a halt

hey, everything is different
down on the bottom
and you can`t even swim

you shut up
to speak the line

body language
