right now



this is not a work of art
any more than the clouds that float in the sky
or times that pass on by

this is not a poem
it's merely a gust of air
flowing through my hair

as i sit in my window thinking back
i forget the warmth and golden rays
playing on my face, greeting my hand
i forget the very fabric of which
i am a strand

david holmberg

I'm a Swedish artist with many fields of interest.My poems are often about spirituality, philosophy, love, emotions and sometimes they are even a tad nonsensical :)I have a history of depression and alot of reflection about my self, conciousness and the world. I am introverted, honest and love to delve into the different realms of art and spirituality!My poetry is very personal and I never try to mimic any other poets.While I haven't explored the stilistical forms of poetry so much I try to work with expression and painting a picture, try to keep it as free as possible. Although I might try out different forms in the future should I feel to. Aaaanyways welcome to my page, hope you enjoy yourself! Any feedback or just spontaneous reactions are much appreciated! :-) more…
