It is there - Midgard - The nine realms


Can you see it?

It is there with its days and its nights
with its darkness and its light
with its cold and its warmth
with its love and its hate
with its poison and its cure

can you see it?

right there in the middle
right there by the sea
right there being born
right there being destroyed

can you see it?

it is the place that falls
it is the place that rises
it is the place far away from the gods

can you see it?
it is right over there

it is the place
it is there
it is life

it is us.

This poem is part of my online collaboration with Nicky Mortlock´s The Nine Realms project that began on October 2014 and that is inspired by the Norse Sagas (specifically the 9 realms of norse mythology). This project involves near-on 50 Twitter poets, arts, musicians and sculptors, and will run online for 9 months culminating in a poetry, art and music exhibition( and even a Viking boat!) in Hanse House King’s Lynn, Norfolk, UK across the Heritage Open Day weekend, in September 2015.

Frostbitten mind - Jotunheim - Nine realms

Through darkness
and eternal sunshine

darkness and brightness
like never-ending dreams

frostbitten mind
awaits in another dream

thoughts
repeated

the pebble falls inside your mind

thoughts
                               repeated

thoughts
being broken
tongues
being broken

day and night
the mind is playing tricks

the night is long
the day is long

time stopping

the mind is flying in circles.

Around the corner - Helheim - The nine realms

Just around the corner

there is confusion
and the land shakes
there are cries
and it is raining
there is angst
and the land is dry
there is hope
and nothing seems to change
there is money
and nothing has a value
there is lust
and there are children disappearing
there is wind
and the three is shaking
there is greed
and the wolf is running free
there is knowledge
and we cannot see the sun
there is freedom
and there is nowhere to go
there is ice melting
and the winter is never-ending.

just around the corner

                there is hell.

Alone and afraid - Asgard - The nine realms

All alone
                smashing stones
                carving wood
                playing with gold
all alone
                behind a broken wall
                waiting for another spell

all afraid
                that the world might change
                that more giants might come
all afraid
                and the wolf is howling
                and the serpent is rattling
                and they can hear the giants’ steps

all alone

all afraid.
