1. SAIVON KIMALLUS

Now thru
Weary waves
Passages
Beneath


2. POJAN KIISKI

Return to the black lake
To hide in these mother depths
Where you were born to utter beauty
Where you slept with watergrass

Lake's son with the water play
Beware the soil
It watches, awaits
Descendant play
Sale in depths

Return onto the palm of the billows
To the grasp of this mother depth
Where you descended to old echo
Vanished amidst watergrass


3. ULOIN

Be the furthest island
Reached asleep
Be vast waters
Widths to row

Be calm eyes
Glide of an oar
Be blithe's seine
A catch from my water

Be an arcane islet
Hed altar
Be lake's reflection
Adverse of the world

Be dawn pouring into a valley
Laurels lining the lane
Be a bank of hay
Scent on a road

Be a field of foxtails
Mid summer's mirth
Be a meadow there
A glade elsewhere

Be blossoms reaching
View of their yellow
Be herb's thriumph
Fragnance rampart

Be day's hallway
Arching tomorrow
Be evening's ease
Weight of night on chest
Be feasting drops
Descending rainy
Be morning dew
Rippling fount

Love me so love I feel
Love in pyre
Here in fire
Sear with love

But your love is thorned
And light fails
I am left scorched
I am left in ashes


4. PLENET PUROT

Teary wells
Shoveled in eyes
Churning
Mourning

Spring melts
Teary brooks
Muddy trenches
In eyes


5. SATEEN SOUTU

The dead pace
Of rowing rain

Cloud galleons
Ancient hulls rife with rain sail
Sunk on arid plains
To soothe skin

Cloud galleons
Run aground


6. HAAKSI

Thru swidden sways
A boat of bone

Fragile and grey
Havens the pain

Wrecked sides
Broken and bleeding

Lakes burn within
Calmly come in secret
Lakes burn within
Calmly enter saiva

The wreckage
Inept amid waves

Surface sears
Vents all the pain

Sorrow shoals
Engulfed by ill shores


7. SURUNUOTTA

Alive, awaken
Rowing's trail

Oar's stub fins
Longing for summer

Not a perch
Body drowned and pale

Sorrow scine
Trapping summer ray


8. SAVOIE

A childhoods song
Fury of a thousand choirs

In a dream the song fluttered
Storm of birds to the heartland

In the morning a new chord is forged
Sparks light the heart

Saivo, Savoie


9. VUOKSI

Would you rise again
Sweet lure of a rose

Would you flow again

Run of honey sparkle

Would you grow again
On mire and marshes

Or bend and perish
To woe burned ashes

Would you rise again
Hope's seedling

Would you flow again
Eager river stream

Would you rise again
Or descend to depths
And drown my shore
Wavering misery


10. PALUU JOELLE

No river
Could bring closer

No river
Could takae further

For rivers run
When fed with rain

Currents return
From strayed
Paths to rest

Currents return
Having crowned
Billows with crests


11. SEES

In these depths
Chanting abates
Choirs finally cease
Organ bellows drain serene

Make from me
A vale to chasm
Landscapes
To fall

Let heart brasses triumph
Come forth willow flutes
Let loose the legion drums
Thundering at the end

Then slowly
Sprewing to bloom
Growing into shelter
Willow thicken


12. SINISET RUNOT

Written onto me
Lake's blue poems

Words roam
Sleeps of thought

Seep to your days
To frail decade

Words meander
Dew on your skin

Drops seep this way
Drops seep thru

Water come here
Water find the way
