not letting grow what we may have lived all the „ifs“ and „whens“ and „shalls“ and „thens“ and never know the love she’ll give we never managed to reach our hands we didn’t even start to fight we never wanted to have this sight we thought we didn’t feel right the spring let the seeds grow the stream brings more water down look at those rocks how they get formed by the water time changes their shapes - and even their places they shine new in the old and remain where they‘re told always in the water so bold our feelings fly away like the winged seeds of the dandelion reflecting the sunshine but floating apart and leave all that is unanswered alone with the fear: to be or to feel it could have been a real dream to stand in the same river, together to let the fresh water touch us be the same and yet grow old always change but yet remain yet, we let all the unlived memories go the river takes it now we will never know what we could have become with our hands together in that late spring day but now all stands still the water flows but waiting for what?

Panta rhei
We fought this fight, a fight we could not win. Our past’s scars still hurt, this fear of flight we carry like sin, while our hearts burst. I believed — but I lost. This cage inside me hurts the most: to lose thee. And now I see, the pain remains

Scar
i am losing all my senses! in this eddy water of senseless senselessness I fall, oh, and how i fall - sightless again i am lost and the ashes of the purifing flames cannot found the brightness the regret and the openness are enemies and fight against the time. pain and tears wet the burnt ground like in a tragic Shakespearian piece the look to the sky while we fall for not to see the decline of what we have become tell me, what did we want? what have we become? shadows of lost memories which float into the nothing and leave us gone and drained. and all that remains is an undreamed dream

Undreamed
the child feels the sun its senses smell the summer breeze! the sparkles of a past life in a dream- and seas a glimpse of one memory stand up and run! run away and dive through the seas of marbles- and feel ! feel this buzzing song sing this life along but just don’t… no pain- no „won‘t“ then he wakes up his closed eyes stare at the unknown of his tale unspoken and untold only ashamed to dare his life in a cup of lost dreams

Tears
i stand and stare into the rippled water- to see: who? my thinned shell shows my hole, my skin is tired and drained . fragmented is my whole I see that day. The smell of a scent, the taste of the air! The sky was so blue, my depth was so true and opened for the new! That day is lost and gone my hope forgotten under a stone in what i have become. the sun is up to go- so cold! my evening shadow on the crackled way is barely visible now the ache that torments my thoughts and let me fall with no hold to a straw.. no clutching at all! to find: who? am I? where is he? lost im waves of memories carried from the lightness of the past but almost nothing‘s left my blurred picture in the distance wanishes in the nothing that is what remains

Nothing
I am lost in these words, words of confusion and storm— a storm of claws which go into my heart. I am lost in these feelings surrounding my subconscious: fears of oblivion, tears to live on- into the nothing. Still lost in this cage of my heart—yearning to escape and **** my enemies inside of me. But my enemy is- me.

.
the sun fights against the spring mist- and lets the breeze go i’ll barely be the child and the old man. I gaze in the distance. an old man in the child, the child in me. the sun i can’t see the hope of the summer warmth rises all the hairs of my cold skin. but the sky forbids the openness of my feelings to take the blue heights the fresh morning washes away the mud of the rivers long gone for a second all stands still no wind floats over the hill no breath, no movement no colour I see in this lonely moment my mind circles endlessly in the white of the fragile breeze the sharp teeth of the icy air deeply bite into my face tears freezing into memory and leave only a hint in the skin like trails of the past i was- but never been free of me i sink in the torment of my lament my tense muscles loosen my eyes slowly close

Lament
in the middle of my dream, my ghost haunts me I hear my shadow scream, with an aching echo- let me sleep! let me rewrite that script of my role in that play i am so tired of my fights undone in the middle of the dark, the moon shines pale! and the sea ripples its touch but the hollow face of my past keeps on chasing all that was, no smile remains i am audiance and actor. in the middle of the pain, the words stand still! black ink - still wet. those dreams as dominoes touched by my breath to fall. can‘t you just remain? my friend and companion in the middle of the road I am alone- no warmth, no shelter the hero falls the jester laghs the last act begins all wait for the end but the curtains don’t fall
