Fists & Cups
Hans Peter Feb 2018
I worked in a kitchen
a long time ago
I started with the dishes
worked up to kneading dough

nothing was ever labeled
and everything was in bulk
had to  get out product
no time to stand and sulk

the chef was always yelling
and putting everyone down
he'd say if you can't keep up
Why do I need you around

the recipe called for a cup
we had no measuring tools
if you don't know how much you need
go back to the dishes and fools

a cup is the size of your fist
I don't know why you got hired
so I made a fist and pondered
and now you know why I got fired

Stupid Secret
Hans Peter Feb 2018
I had kept a stupid secret,

But never considered it a lie,

But when it was discovered,

We didn't see eye to eye,



I miss hanging out with you

It makes me very sad

I really want to go back to

Whatever it was we had



I'm grieving for our friendship

The way it used to be

I'm hoping time will heal this

I can only wait and see

There's beauty
Hans Peter Feb 2018
There's beauty in your aura,
There's beauty in your face,
There's beauty in your presence that's never out of place,

There's beauty in your movements,
There's beauty in your walk,
There's beauty in the things you say whenever we get to talk

There's a beauty in your anger,
There's a beauty in your calm,
There's a beauty in the way you touch me on my arm,

There's beauty in your pain,
There's beauty in your moods,
There's beauty in the way you cook all your delicious foods,

There's beauty in your presence,
There's beauty by your side,
You have so much beauty that you'd never be able to hide,

There's beauty in your silence,
There's beauty when you speak,
There's beauty in the way you make my knees go weak,

You have so much beauty,
I'm grateful that you share,
And it is that same great beauty that laid my soul to bare.

Your Beauty (unfinished?)
Hans Peter Feb 2018
your beauty speaks volumes
but that's not all you are
if it was only about beauty
I could love you from afar

Lost my Mind
Hans Peter Feb 2018
I told her I had lost my mind
she said it won't be hard to find
Show me the place where you last been
and hopefully they will let us in

Follow me, I said in kind
she led the way I walked behind
'How will this work if I'm in front'
'I have no clue', me being blunt

I see it there right in front of me
I don't understand why you can't see
this place that has grabbed my soul
and laid it's claim with a large flagpole

She turned around and looked at me
it's then she realized what I could see
losing my mind is not so bad
I feel more complete than I ever had

— The End —
