I knocked on the door.
She asked, "Who?"
I did not reply anything.

She opened the door
And saw nothing.
I cried because I'm old.
You said age is just a number.
I cried because I'm ugly,
Age has collapsed me, taken
     from me the looks of
     interest.
I cried because the end is near.

You have given me the looks
my soul seeks.

I cry now because you are
     far away.

“You Raise Me Up” plays
     on my heart.

There are tears of longing’s
     frustration
now until you happily walk
     off the plane
  
  toward our life.

when we will sing
     together happily

in
  
   God's Grace.

it takes me two times longer to fall asleep,
when you’re not on the phone,
                              on my pillow,
                              next to me;
i count the seconds.
I brought you to life
   in a poem. You'll never
   love in moderation. Love
   screams out loud and catches
   its breath and sleeps 'til noon.
   Then it happens next full moon.
There's been an
Eclipse happening,
For a
Long Long time,
Invisible
To
Mankind

Darkness slowly
Winning,
As the
Moon and earth
Are spinning

Reaching the full
Corona
Will seem,
Like all is lost
Inside a bad
Dream

Some will see
The ring of light,
Others filled full
Of
Fright

But,
The cogs are
Always turning,
New growth
After
Burning

What appears
Stuck,
All an allusion

A
New day,
A
New
Dawn

Optimism
Wears a
New
Crown

Remember
Remember
What was lost,
Given away
At such cost

The
Light shines
Brighter than
Ever before,
True
Love,
Opens the
Door

— The End —
