a skinless stack of bones(Arnold Melleby, 01.28.2024)

did you ever know

did you ever care

to breathe the same air

I brought into the room

for you to breathe

did you ever

care that I was there

for you

a skinless stack of bones

aiming my way

sets the undertone

demanding my attention

drifting away

across the bay

out of the way

come what may

a skinless stack of bones

a skinless stack of bones

a skinless stack of bones

lookin` my way

a skinless stack of bones

lookin` my way

did you ever know

did you ever care

to breathe the same air

I brought into the room

for you to breathe

did you ever

care that I was there

for you

a skinless stack of bones

a skinless stack of bones

a skinless stack of bones

lookin` my way

a skinless stack of bones

lookin` my way

in the poverty

of my wealth

a skinless stack of bones

a skinless stack of bones

a skinless stack of bones

lookin` my way

a skinless stack of bones

lookin` my way

darkness(Arnold Melleby, 01.23.2024)

unveiling a prince of darkness

the one you never thought 

could belong to you

a being you never knew

existed

a piano playing

in the backdrop

of a real facade turning fake

it all sounds lovely

until the layers are removed

one by one

did we really have it all

or did we both have issues

standing tall

looking above the window sill

to see what was going on

on the outside

a paranormal paranoia

making up

for sleepless nights

if I could turn back the clock

I`d turn it forward

hey, this is the way things go

around here

darkness

such a devine possession

if you have something to hide

the good side of my heart(Arnold Melleby, 01.23.2024)

a deamons head

caring for the ones

never cared for

is it right to say

he`s got a point

well I don`t know

I`m not quite there

gotta smell the sphere

turtles and diamonds

spread out on the beach

turtles knew why

but the diamonds just drowned

is this all it takes

to get it and what it`s worth

I don`t know

but I`ll stick it to the good side of my heart

tonight

a deamons head

caring for the ones

never cared for

is it right to say

he`s got a point

well I don`t know

I`m not quite there

gotta smell the sphere

turtles and diamonds

spread out on the beach

turtles knew why

but the diamonds just drowned

turtles and diamonds

spread out on the beach

turtles knew why

but the diamonds just drowned

the good side of my heart

is taking charge 

tonight

blah, blah, blah(Arnold Melleby, 01.22.2024)

when to belong

when to be lost

when to belong

to the sky

at any cost

cool and dark

is where I wanna be at

for now

smiling at you

as I drive by

your favorite place to be

waving as I pass

your beautiful smile

do you

or don`t you

count the good days

or just the mondays

as they unfold

I do not know

and I do not care

to find out

you gotta meet prepared

any day

any way

blah, blah, blah

the sun rose any way

that day

blah, blah, blah

the sun set any way

that day too

clouds drifting by

no stopping the rhythm

that keeps it all going

in the meantime

we`ll settle for blah, blah, blah

los angeles(Arnold Melleby, 01.22.2024)

blend in

if you can

blend out

if you can`t 

hey, tiger

did you miss the early morning call

don`t worry

no reason to get up

no reason to stand tall

I did it all for ya

blessed, troubled and in a bed full of roses

did you ever picture you in a setting like this

lies, desperation and all that goes with it put aside

this is what you get

a nest built

without a single, tender thought

from you

now,

where do we go from here

questions asked

answers never given

look what time is

gotta go somewhere else

don`t know where

but gotta go

a standard answer

that made LA

what it is

today

blend in

if you can

blend out

if you can`t 

hey, tiger

did you miss the early morning call

don`t worry

no reason to get up

no reason to stand tall

I did it all for ya

space and time(Arnold Melleby, 01.17.2024)

a desert wind

is blowing through the air tonight 

a desert wind

is taking charge of the sphere tonight

blowing everyone and everything 

on the ground away

everything you`ve ever learned

just took on a different meaning

taking you back to places

you thought you`d never been

taking you back to places

you thought you`d never seen

just give me space and time

and we`ll be as fine

as forever

has paved our path

out for us

through space and time

If you had it all

I wouldn`t be anything

to you

if I had it all

you`d still be everything

to me

differences attract 

creating togetherness

leaving loneliness alone

just give me space and time

and we`ll be as fine

as forever

has paved our path

out for us

through space and time

space and time

and we`ll be fine

space and time

and we`ll be fine

space and time

and we`ll be fine

don`t mind if I do(Arnold Melleby, 01.17.2024)

doors open

doors close

in spite of the fact

some say

a wall is just another door

you go through in life

you say

care for a coffee

at a nearby cafè

I say

don`t mind if I do

the chat went on

coffee turned to wine

leaving the sheets of my bed

screaming for air

but it just wouldn`t be fair

to stop in time

to let the beast out of the room

you say

care for a wild ride

on my Harley

I say

don`t mind if I do

tight black leather

shades to match

smiling in my direction

as you pick me up

air cooled engine revving

between your legs

screaming for more of, everything

you say

care to sell me your soul

I`ll pay you with forever

I say

don`t mind if I do

bought, sold and paid for

is what I am

do you remember

what I was like before, then

do you remember

or has the hunger left you

looking for someone else

so I say

can I have a raincheck

the winds have changed and the sky is dark

you say

don`t mind if you do

unhurt me(Arnold Melleby, 01.17.2024)

 a saw a bird

and later heard her twitter

nothing much ado 

but listen

the evening meal

bits from the soil

and the roaring ocean

twinkled with rays of the mighty sun

gastroerotica for two hungry souls

leaving nothing to the imagination

before, before, yes before

we set sail

bailing out on nothingville

entering the open seas 

and wilderness beyond compare

why you may ask

because we dare

wishing you were here

you hold the key

please, please, please

unhurt me

drinking tequilas and laughing

into the sunset like there`s no tomorrow

is who I am and there`s no wonder

I adore the likes of a certain you

well out between two oceans

the water making it hard to tell them apart

I heard the bird twitter again

but it was not around to be seen

the sail flapping in the wind

my mind stranded in search for land

you hold the key

please, please, please

unhurt me

you hold the key

please, please, please

unhurt me

unhurt me

unhurt me

please unhurt me if you can

diabolical angel(Arnold Melleby, 01.08.24)

 

asking death to come out of the tomb

would probably be too much to ask

even for a diabolical angel

like you

so I go

come to me

I go

come to me

there`s not a sight

I have not yet seen

do not fear

bringing your truth

to my eyes

my angel

my understanding

of love

my understanding

of all of the above

my angel

what are wings for

if you can`t fly

there`s a place

deep down inside

that I`d like to take you to

a place you can run to

but never hide

my diabolical angel

do you know the time

or do you not care

is it all yours

what you`ve put your eyes on

is it to late 

to pull out

for the ones you touched

my diabolical angel 

my diabolical angel

my diabolical angel

is there still a chance

to see what`s real

looking through your eyes

my diabolical angel

my diabolical angel

are you for real
