to shine on through(Arnold Melleby, 06.27.2021)

 it`s midnight

and I don`t have a slightest clue

where I`m at or where I`ve been

but, at least I know what time it is

it`s time to get outta here

wherever I may be

whenever I`m tired

I seem to feel awake

even if I`m pure as a glazier spring

I feel as dirty as a muddy old river

you wanna be like me

I don`t think so

get outta my way

moody 

if I`m in the mood

travelling

if I find myself on an airplane

and amorous as a honey bee

if I don`t get stung

as far as spelling 

the ultimate four letter word

mine`s more often spelled starting with an `h`

and ending with a double `l`

come on, now

give me a heavenly break

give me

what it takes

to shine on through

to you

and the world

I`m so lonely

can`t you tell

come on, now

give me a heavenly break

give me

what it takes

to shine on through

mornings after

I can still smell the smoke

and see the first flame

through the ember of it all

come on, now

give me a heavenly break

give me

what it takes

to shine on through

to you

and the world

I`m so lonely

can`t you tell

come on, now

give me a heavenly break

give me

what it takes

to shine on through

honey, where are the bees(Arnold Melleby, 06.19.2021)

if there`s a picture to be taken

it will be

taken

if there`s a longing for another tomorrow

there will be another

tomorrow

as the butterfly makes another attemp

to land

followed by yet another flyover

before it finally succeeds

and makes landfall

descending deep into your

soul

then there was en early morning

time to write the ultimate will

the will of the unwilling

the scene is set

but the audience stays clear

honey

where are the bees

when we need them at the most

honey

I love you

but it`s hard to tell

where shadows will rest

it`s hard to tell

if our love

will stand the test

I know so well

the difference

between heaven and hell

I know so well

I have a story to tell

somewhere between 

darkness and light

there`s a red line

honey

where are the bees

when we need them at the most

honey

I love you

but it`s hard to tell

where shadows will rest

it`s hard to tell

if our love

will stand the test

honey

where are the bees

when we need them at the most

honey

I love you

but it`s hard to tell

where shadows will rest

it`s hard to tell

if our love

will stand the test

of time

divine angel of blood and desire(Arnold Melleby, 06.06.2021)

a diamond soul

lost in your karma

trying to make a right

but, according to you

always turn wrong

turns out

you slept through it all

you always told me

you`d throw in 

the sadness for free

and guess what you did

you have a right 

to keep up your decibel

and anything you say or do

will ever be held against you

fallen angel

how much further

will you fall

I used to follow you around

like the little kitten

that I am

when I am allowed

although I prefer, as you know

to be in charge

divine angel

will there ever be consolidation

divine angel

will there ever be a reuinion

please, tell me

divine angel

of blood and desire

looking around

there are no traces

nothing in the dark

reminding me of the light

you may have left behind

a frozen skull

left beside a trail

in my forrest of redemtion

I had to take the walk

I had to do the talk

I had to smell the past 

I had to stand tall

divine angel

will there ever be consolidation

divine angel

will there ever be a reuinion

please, tell me

divine angel

of blood and desire

divine angel

will there ever be consolidation

divine angel

will there ever be a reuinion

please, tell me

divine angel

of blood and desire

blood and desire

what else is there
