Sea of lust

Sea of lust

by Kean Riber

I found myself in a sea of lust
caring not for if my life would be the cost

Endowed myself with passions of the heart
seeing not the waves turn from blunt to sharp

My sails raised for this portentous journey
and staked my soul to this deceitful tourney

I fought the storm with all of my grit
as thunder and lightning from the skies were lit

Great damage in vast my vessel did take
But continued on for my dear honour´s sake

Found at last the pure shores of manhood
there on the banks my lust in tears stood

Disciplined i´d made my heedless boyhood
Maybe now my emotion trust i truly could

I now had tamed both lust and emotion
ready to stir up a steadfast love potion

Found the women I this potion would give
prayed to Frigga that my loved with me would live

Drank the potion she without question did
and timeless love in her heart was lit

A bridge we´ve now build over this sea of lust
and eternal love has done us both harmoniously just.

The love thought

The love thought

The thought of love spreads like rings in the great ocean of the universe, encountering no obstacles, and with course set towards the ones your thoughts hold.

Just to be free

Just to be free

By Kean Riber

I once had a conversation with this old rugged man

He talked about life and all the things he once had

A pretty normal person he used to be

With car, penthouse and job you see

But then he turned it all down just to be free

How mad do you think i thought this man to be!

Now he just lives in an old cottage in the woods

Feeds of nature’s plants, liquids and fruits

Stunningly happy he seems to be

With no money, job or car you see

All this he does just to be free

Maybe not as mad as I thought him to be!

Living this way seems to have made him quite fit

Often in scrubs, fields and on rocks he´ll just sit

Mindful and wise he seems to be

Without drama, stress or worries you see

His mind indeed seems to be free

Therefore mad he can´t actually be!

Our conversations now seem to last forever

Filled with laughs, love and thoughts quite clever

Together happy we seem to be

With joy, caring and understanding you see

He reminded me how to live and be free

The sane part of my mind he turned out to be.

Wedded bliss

Wedded bliss

by Kean Riber

Two streams flow silently through the white winter landscape

The surroundings covered by a crisp icy cape

No life is found in their cold freezing water

Hibernation subdues both him and her.

The ice starts to melt as the streams close on each other

Small greens appear as the sun whispers come-hither

The sound of the sparrow signals new life

Winter and spring enters an uneven strife

The two streams gently meet as the sun shines brightly

The Empress in bloom stands as ever almighty

Small ripples arise where the two join together

Their essence becomes one by an unbreakable tether

He holds her tightly as they flow between rock and hill

The ripples turn to waves as they parched landscapes fill

The Plover kips joyfully upon seeing their might

Their coming together Springs most beautiful rite

Gaia comes to life in light of their wedded bliss

They give free their offspring as they tenderly kiss

In eternity they fondly together will flow

Winter will freeze them but together they´ll glow.

My dear friend

My dear friend

by Kean Riber

My dear friend
I fear you have no concept of love

You try convincing me of your kindness
But your actions never show it

You talk about generousity
But it seems to be only materiel

You sing in praise about caring
But your own seems only fleeing

You try to sway me to believe in goodness
But never give me true reason to believe

My dear Friend
Let me teach you the concept of love

Love is not to convince
But indeed to actually glow it

Love is not found in the materiel
It lies in true meditation

Love can never be just fleeing
For our soul is everlasting

Love is not in fancy words
It is beyond inside and known to only a few.

Dear Circumstance

Dear Circumstance

by Kean Riber

Dear circumstance
Bid me not to say goodbye
It feels not right
Indeed it hurts my pride
Spurs my guts to turn inside

Dear circumstance
Exert not your power over me
I feel not to bow
Let me just for once be free
For this my soul will be my fee

Dear circumstance
Have you knowledge I do not?
I feel not wrong
Tell me not these ties to cut
Oh! how wicked feels this plot!

Dear circumstance
Ask you me not to disagree?
I see your point
Bid you only to benefit me?
To turn my life from glom to glee?

Dear circumstance
I think to follow your aid
It pleases me not
Indeed my thoughts confused you made
I´ll abide, you left me no other slate

Dear circumstance
Your advice I now have taken
My feelings undecided
My heart to mind now a pagan
My fear that love forever be forsaken.
