Panther

(English text after the Norwegian text)

Poem dikt phanter Norwegian blogger blogger prosaist forfatter poetry orkidedatterart

I natt var du en panter.

Et av de vakreste dyr i verden, men også

et av de farligste.

Listet deg rundt i mørkets natur

med glitrende pels og lysende øyne.

Du jaktet.

Sirklet inn ditt bytte.

Stillheten er til å ta og føle på.

Du strakte ut din pote,

vasket den forsiktig,

før du plantet den i det våte underlaget.

Du luktet ut i natten.

Slikket deg om munnen

og hoppet opp i nærmeste tre.

Øverst lå du og så utover landskapet.

Følte på sult, hunger og lyst.

Du må drepe i natt for å overleve.

Du lukket øynene, en panter var din skjebne

i dette liv.

Du ble angrepet, knuste kyss og hjertet revet ut.

Ingen magi.

Ingen vakre ord.

Ingen som bryr seg.

Ingen savn, bare kaldt, mørkt og vått.

Stille går du fra stedet.

Denne gangen mett.

Du vant denne kampen.

Du smyger deg hjem.

Legger deg ned.

Slikker dine sår.

Du vet at det ikke er lenge til

neste hunger

neste lengsel

neste lyst

 neste kamp.

Dø eller overlev…

Panther

Last night you were a panther.

One of the most beautiful animals in the world, but also

one of the most dangerous.

Listed around in the nature of darkness

with glittering coat and shining eyes.

You hunted.

Circle your prey.

You can feel the silence.

You stretched out your paw,

washed it gently,

before planting it in the wet surface.

You smelled in the night.

Licked your mouth

and jumped up to the nearest tree.

At the top you looked over the landscape.

Felt hunger, starvation and desire.

You have to kill tonight to survive.

You closed your eyes, a panther was your destiny

in this life.

You were attacked, smashed kisses and the heart torn out.

No magic.

No beautiful words.

No one cares.

No one miss you, just coldness and darkness.

Quietly you go from the place.

This time satisfied.

You won this fight.

You sneak home.

Lie down.

Lick your wounds.

You know it’s not long to the

next hunger

next yearning

next desire

 the next battle.

Die or survive…

  2. I’m sure there might be a slight language barrier and wish I was more fluent. First I wanted to thank you for all your support and kind words! I may have to hunt for it but was wondering if you had an about you page?
    My writing may jump around a bit but so does my mind so I go with it LOL

    1. Don’t think about the language, I translate, but sometimes it gets weird when I do, but hope it goes well anyway🦋
      It is my pleasure, I have been a big fan of your writings and words, they are so beautiful penned.
      That was weird, I have a about me page, but I can’t find it by myself… well-I don’t know where it is, but it is not much about me there anyway. I have a free site..I am sorry🦋
      You make me smile, thank you.
      Maybe I do, email you. Enjoy.

  6. The law of life in animal nature is that heartbreaking to us. Kill for life. A cycle that they have to fulfill and you shed them with verses that carry that emotion of living their lives. How good your poem.
