“Mirror, mirror in the wormhole” Gun Roswell

Mirror world 

As through the vibrating looking glass I go
Time itself will come to a stall
Then, I let myself gently into the abyss fall 

The world of my own reflected
On the other side upside down detected
Something so similar but different than never expected 

I find myself in a parallel universe
When I had set the gear in full reverse 
Then I touch the liquid and the image is disturbed 

It’s almost as looking into a mirror
Everything getting so much nearer 
The image is slowly getting clearer 

When I finally reach my destination
There really is no more comparison 
It’s all too different by definition 

But it’s fine for the time being
As my alter ego I am seeing
With the same quirks, is quite freeing 

Knowing some things never change
Even in another and different place 

I still carry myself with the same old face 

The lizard who died

“Sad little thing it was” Gun Roswell 

The lizard who died 

The lizard splashed into water
Guess it forgot it was no sea otter
Drowned into the crystal clear blue 
It gave a new meaning to ‘just do’ 

The kind man came and lifted the body
Of this creature who appeared so oddly 
Out of no where it came from
And into another place without torment 

Bon voyage and happy trails
To the lizard with a tall tail! 

Lemons of life

“When life gives you lemons, peel one up and eat it like a sourpuss” Gun Roswell 

Lemons of life 

Sour said the fox of the grapes
As it did not like the funky taste 

It’s far too hot outside right now
But then again, yesterday it snowed 

My face is too ugly for television they said
So why not try getting a job in radio instead 

I’m constantly worried of every little thing
But taking a shower makes me wanna sing 

When life gives you lemonades
Take them back to the store to exchange 

Coffee always in double

“Never enough coffee” Gun Roswell

Coffee always in double 

With a big size cup as this It’s really hard to miss
The caffeine addict within me 

Coffee, on the double
Coffee, please make it double
Coffee, cup size, better have it double 

As the healing liquid I get in front of me
Life always looks so much better I believe
And the i drink my coffee until late eve 

Coffee, never enough
Coffee, never too much
Coffee, thank goodness for such 

Coffee, a most precious gift
Coffee, how you always up me lift
Coffee, nuff said, peace! 

Black and white with some grey

“Those shady greys are everywhere” Gun Roswell

Black and white with some grey 

The sky so gorgeous over my head
I cannot tear my sore eyes away 

Despite this monochromatic view
I choose to stand here’s and drool 

Painted images with black and white
Make a beautiful tableau of the skies 
Lurking greys are in the shadows
But only for the effect as the wind blows 

Even without colour the picture is so vivid
With my camera going quite livid 
Palm trees and cloudy sun filled skies
This is the place where the true beauty lies 

Walk on the rocky pier

“Beach, finally here!” Gun Roswell 

Walk on the rocky pier 

Take a short walk along the long pier
Dip your toes into the water when you get there 
Feel the summer breeze on your burning skin
Let the holiday feeling finally sink in 

Stay a while at the very end of the pier
Let the sunny rays wash away any fears 
Of letting go of the mundane And embrace the upon coming fun day 

Take a slow walk back to the beach 
Then turn to look at the glimmering sea
Just remember you can always return 
Until it’s time for the leisure time to adjourn 

Recycle

“Always recycle” Gun Roswell

Recycle

Abandoned, discarded, of no more use
Maybe, we all have just a too short fuse 

When something is broken and no more works
Then we just run out and buy a new one like jerks 

Why not mend it, fix it, or make some repairs
Or just save it and use the parts as spares 

If a neighbour or friend might need dome, then just share
After all, it’s better than throwing things away

“Friends of many colours” Gun Roswell

Pink friend

Sometimes friends come in many shapesSometimes even their colours may vary
Sometimes you may be lucky to have a double set
Sometimes you’ll end up with just one really good friend 

But, never you mind, just try always to be kind And never, ever stop trying
Be open and inviting in the world so wide
And who knows where those friends you’ll find 

Peephole

“Life through a peephole” Gun Roswell 

Peephole

Through the tiny window
I watch the outside world
As the soft clouds by flow
And I wish onto them to be hurled
To fly like the birds in the skies
Or take a ride on a horse divine
To for it all and then fall
Fast asleep and dream for more

But it’s not for me
For you see 

I am the watcher
Behind the scenes
I am the onlooker
Never the participant 
I am the ever loner
When the others live
I am the one keeps the record
While the others sleep
I am alway here
Behind the peephole
Watching, learning
Sometimes even yearning
Go, be a part of it all
But as time for me has stalled
As I am the one
The caretaker of it all 

Life is a beach

“Life on the beach” Gun Roswell

Life is a beach 

When thinking that life is a soft and sandy beach
And you’ll do your damnedest to it early on reach 

Then once you get there, to relax and take a seat
You’ll realise, that staying forever might the perfect image bleach 

So, for now, let’s just make a holiday of it
Forget for a while all that daily shit 

Enjoy the ever fading moments of the promised paradise
Before leaving only to return again, at lest that’s the advice 

And after the thoughts are settled
And you have neatly nestled Just dive into the inviting cool blue waters 
And frolic around there pretending you’re a sea otter
