MISTER LARRY NORMAN


sinner
rocker
roller
wordsmith
performer
leader
instigator
collaborator
confiscator
agitator
liberator
emancipator
infiltrator
soul survivor
but above all
a radiant servant
in the realms of the heavenly underground
backstealer of the rock and roll music
bringing it back to where it came from
the church.

Assistens Kierkegaard (Copenhagen)


I have been on a citytrip to Copenhagen to meet one of my favourtie philosophers. I visited his grave, looked for the house where he was born and all this inspired me to write this poem about the graveyard in Copenhagen. All kinds of famous artists are buried here. When the weather is fine, people from all over Copenhagen gather here, having a picknick or lovers meet here to sit down,have glass of wine together,talking to eachother etc. These were the words that came up immediately while i was walking on the site and saw what was happening before my eyes.





Making love between the dead
Kissing on the greenest grass
Where artists rest in peace
And lovers feel at ease

Philosophers and writers
Have found a place to rest
 young people found their way
To put true love to its test

I  hear her whispering in his ear
O my love my dearest dear
If you dare to kiss my lips
Beside this grave
Than i know for shure
Within your arms forever
I'll  be safe

WEAKNESS AS A STRENGTH

















Weakness as a strength
meeknes as a virtue
peace as an attitude
far before our time
there was this bloodstained cross
where a peacefull young men bled
bowed His head
and was as dead as dead
And in a tomb they laid him down
anointed him with oil and herbs
covered him in a shroud
and his friends cried out loud
while in a  dead end street a thief has fled
the religious leaders held their feast instead
The man who works with wood
shook his head and took his tool
and said...
“only a fool
only a fool. . . 
. . . has said in his heart there is no God”

Opposite dynamics



Opposite dynamics
living in the “now”
no past or  future either
always wondering “how”
How to walk this path of life
How to go astray
How to contemplate or strive
not knowing. . . 
how to pray
opposite dynamics
started of in paradise
somewhere in the highest heaven
lucifer felt out with a loaded dice
Opposite dynamics
look what it has done
we all fall down on holy ground
the scrub bush burns
take of your shoes
the stone is rolled away
let there be light
repent your sin
and face another day
Sing with me 
dance with me
pray with me these lines
welcome to the rising
welcome to the wonders
of the three in one
welcome to the rising
brother sister welcome...
welcome  to the rising of the Son.

Nightmare?





















Last night i dreamed a judas' kiss
That i betrayed my lord
And somwhere from a distance
I heard a lions roar

The kiss was lovely bitter sweet
And took my breath away
I saw his hand with holes
blood was dripping on the floor
It burned into my very soul
I realized i had kissed the door
To live forever more

I felt ashamed for what i'd done
I was in trouble deep
my sinfull state i was aware of
Even in my sleep

And than i woke
Was wide awake
Inside my chest
I felt a pain
I never felt before
I thought i had a heart attack
But it was jesus knocking at my door


Lay your hands into these wounds
feel free to touch my side
Beware for i will come again
Like a thief in your darkest night

I love you like i love myself
And i will set you free
Hard hearted stubborn dying soul
Just give yourself to me

Last night i dreamed a judas' kiss
That i betrayed my lord
I realise that this happens daily
Forgiveness ever more

SALTING THE EARTH






















Salting the earth
giving some taste
to whatever life men lead
stirr up the pot
spicing things up
giving all you’ve got
Praying out loud
Jesus come quickly
with a whispering voice
Shouting in silence
where are you now
yet knowing He still hangs  around
Shedding some tears
love one another love one another
consume all your fears
‘If God is our Father
and you are my brother
then why don’t we bother. . . .”
Grey shades fading
into the white
like the bloodstained sinner
will be cleansed
Shifting from time 
into eternity
eyes to the skies
finally welcomed
into paradise
Sing as a voiceless soul
praises to I am who is
who was
and ever will be
Alfa Omega
beginning  and end
i love to play
in His heavenly band

Rebel Poet Baladeer






rebel poet balladeer
showed us a way out of here
upheld finger  always
pointing towards heaven
knowing Father touch is there
crossed the planet 
with a guitar in his hand
walked right into another land
How i miss him
