Mr.Texas Twister(Arnold Melleby, 11.28.2019)

you signed your name
left us all stunned
no warning
nor invitation given
the sky went all black
and you turned up
and showed us the coldest
of a shoulder
possible
an evil soltice
in reverse

Texas Twister
I love your power
Texas Twister
I love your determination
Texas Twister
I sure know
how to spell your name
but I hate you
damn it
you took my home

I heard the news
long after the fact
you learned about it
yourself
closer to me
than you are now

what an angel
what a saint
I saw you
through the eyes
of forever

what an angel

what a saint

help me
find a hand
to give you
a hand
from the other side
of the world

Texas Twister

I love your power

Texas twister

I love your determination

Texas Twister

I sure know 

how to spell your name

but I hate you

damn it

you took my home

I didn`t want to

to leave you crying

the echoe said

I had plans

I had visions

for the both of us

can you hear me

through the rubble

Mr. Texas Twister

-Dedicated to the one that held on to the toe as it turned cold forever

blood and tears(Arnold Melleby, 11.13.2019)

blood and tears
we`ve seen it all
through the years
I always ran too fast
moved too slow
I have no ownership
to all the ships that sailed on by
I hold no title in my hand

anyway
there`s always a way
unless you plead guilty
to all your innocence
is all up to you
I can`t hold the banner
for you
but, you`ve got to carry it
yourself

get real
siege the deal
and get over it
please
it`s not like
you have a choice
is it?
get real

I walked a mile
or two
for you
as well
it doesn`t take much
to forget
do you remember?
do you even care

I still have your number
and I may call you
even by your real name
as long as
the numbers need no math
I`m sure I`ll get on through
to you

blood and tears

we`ve seen it all

through the years

I always ran too fast

moved too slow

I have no ownership

to all the ships that sailed on by

I hold no title in my hand

get real

siege the deal

and get over it

please

it`s not like

you have a choice

is it?

get real

blood and tears

we`ve seen it all

through the years

I always ran too fast

moved too slow

I have no ownership

to all the ships that sailed on by

I hold no title in my hand

together apart(Arnold Melleby, 11.08.2019)

got s sheet of paper
got a pen between my fingers
ready to spread some ink
but nothing happens
just the silence
of my thoughts
ending in nothingness
and the paper stays clean
as bleached as it came
from the store

what do you want to tell ya
if you don`t know what`s cookin`
better take a look into these pots of mine
or, at least bother to smell the fumes
`couse, somethin`s gettin` ready
to explode

your will
is my way
and, hey
untill time
catches up with us
we`ll be

together apart
a pool of darkness
fills the room
every time
I think of you
and that`s why
this`ll always be
together, till death make us art

love is not a game
but I have no intentions of losing
there is no god
there is no satan
in the end
it`ll be
just you and I

together apart
a pool of darkness

fills the room

every time 

I think of you

and that`s why 

this`ll always be
together, till death make us art

together apart
a pool of darkness

fills the room

every time 

I think of you

and that`s why 

this`ll always be
together, till death make us art
