Autumn magic 🍂 🍁
Lay me down on golden song.
To be gently kissed by a silk breeze of cold.
Shivering trees are watching.
Yellow orange lights,  flickering.
Giving a coziness.
Inviting togetherness going into the white.
A warm hug is needed as is a mug of hot cocoa.

Spring field
Sunshine breeze,
green land in nuances
Attractive

Pastel flowers everywhere
Waving
In my hair
I’m blending in with nature
Reflections in still waters
Under clear blue sky.
Colorful song in heart of mine.

Made by God
Raven black from lightless land.
God made fallen angel.
Important messages you bring.
Leave us broken minded.
Lost, still sincere  you are.
Sculptured like a twilight.
Representing what many of us are.
Two in one.

We all have two sides . A bad one and a good one
We all have a little bit of female and male inside
We all are  created by one Creator.
So don’t judge no one.
What you are today I can be easily tomorrow.

Turn back home
What color blue did the Divine originally created the sky.
What hue of green was the first tree.
What kind of human was created at first.
The kind made out of love,
for love , to love.
Who only wanted peace.
How come people turned so bad.
They don’t even care if children are sad.
Skies are less blue
Trees are less green
Human less humane
each passing day.

Apocalypse is near if we
go ahead
If things don’t change.
Starting with ourselves and the way we behave.
Let our Creator back into our lives.
Let’s give love to all kinds of children in the world.
No more wars
No more harm and pain
No children trafficking
All for greed and gain
No more famine and homelessness
Let’s do it together.
Respect humanity.
It’s time for us  to return home.

“ Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them,  for
the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these “
Mark 10 : 13-16.

A token of what was not.
I got one white rose
A token of his undying love
Immaculate and pure.
One by one the petals started falling
Now all I have is a stem with thorns
A petal from a rose falls without a thorn.
Now all I’m left with
is…
a token of what never was.

Being in love
Being in love so deeply
so beautiful and intense.
To be taken away
by the different winds
To a place unknown
a place far away
In the present tense
Take me wave of seas
to the horizon to be
Where heaven meets earth
Where my lover will be
Where no one knows
Where no one has to pretend
Where I can be in your arms
gaze deeply in your eyes
A longing to belong
as never known before
To let me take you in my arms
and make you mine.
To make a wish a dream come true.



Shell✨🐚
We all fall in love ,

Far apart
Hearing your whispers
in my ear
Like wind passing trees
Giving a cool gentle breeze
Written down feelings
Reaching the soul
Faling in love
over and over again

You can fall in love over and over again.
So don’t be blue.

Moonwatch
As night falls
And it’s my turn to appear in full.
I never know what comes by
What I will see
These eyes of the moon
Tonight it’s an adventurous night
I witness a play in the sky.
Out of the clouds
a big poodle appeared
accompanied by  a cow in the south
a big eyed robot was looking their way
Maybe they all wanted to play
Just as I was shining my light
on this stage
a big alien like cloud was coming this way
blocking my sight.
In a second my beautiful image will be gliding away
Driven by the wind
Dear poodle and cow will be no more.
Alien like creature
will be washed  away
when heavy rain falls.

Imagination,  clouds  in the sky and in your mind.

Fata morgana or not.
The mind knows
a thousand ways
to survive the waves
Coming like a tsunami  
To literally wash you away

The mind brings to mind
All the known mirages
As  seen by
desperate desert wanderers
walking in the heat
Showing the mind ways
Hope inducing images.
How not to drown

Never give up
Even while falling apart
He will show you tools
How to survive
How to rise up till you reach heaven.
All you need is faith!

Universal rose 🌹 🥀
At dawn of day
I peep between the  shutters of my petals
To see the light of early sunrise
What an enthralling world view
Through the curtain of mist
I see colors so startling
Charmed to just be
this rose in the making
What color will I be?
I don’t know…..
Who will fall in love with me.
Will my petals fall one by one
for the one who will treasure me
will I crown the newborn
celebrate birthdays
Or just a Valentine.
I don’t know and I don’t care
I’m here to be
for you.

Humans are like roses,
delicate
unique
in their own way
In need of love and care.

Forever evergreen.

Forever captured in lost memories.

Different living skies as long as we are.


Nothing more interesting then the sky.
Every time another picture passes by.
Promises it holds.
I’m mesmerized by this.
It makes me happy and often makes my day.

Sky, I can watch you for hours . Sitting and just observing how you constantly change your ways.
Interesting clouds, snow white to dark.
Reflection of life you are.
Covering the sun sometimes creating a sharp silver lining.
Blue, grey, pastel.

With global warming,
Ominous
all consuming fire in the sky.
Fright and we flee to safer havens where
softer heavens are.

Ceiling of life
I can feel safe under you
but also afraid when you look threatening.
Such bright colors, especially when the sun rises or sets.
Dawn and twilight how precious.
Not two times the same.

At night I look for the moon.
Hope you’re watching too.
Let’s take care of our nature.
It’s precious.
We need nature more then it needs us.

Don’t take from nature if it doesn’t feed you.

In life
Lucky is he who has
a warm bed  to sleep
Enough to eat, water to drink.
Water to bathe.
Luckier is he who has the blessing of health, friends and family.
Most lucky is he who has himself and faith within.
Blessed.

Dream rendez vouz
At the dawn of my dreams
When eyes are closed
My dreams are awakening
Into the deep I go
Deeper and deeper I fall
A free fall
Until I see you there  with a tender smile
wake a dream
When we both are asleep
In the silence of our dreams is where we meet
Where everything you longed for is there
Take me along on your journey
How I care
I know you’ve been waiting
Wake a dream for me
Wake your dream and follow me
As soon as my eyes close
I’ll be there for you
Come and claim me.

Homeless
Here I am
Broken to the bone
Everything hurts can’t breathe anymore.
God are You there?
Do You see me lying here
Do You still watch over me
taking care, protecting me?
I’ve lost my path in life left in  the cold
I’m on the road to living hell
searching the way back to home
Only heartbreak and sorrow
I’ve been in touch with the devil. Had him in my veins, my brains.
No where to go only places to hide.
Nothing to eat, afraid for the night,
That’s the time I got to think, miss them all.
Homeless
When will my time come for happiness and to be really free.
God are you there, are you near?

Piece of you
Poetry is a piece of the soul.
What lives inside you
So it’s a piece of you on paper.
To be read and respected
all the way.
When you die it still stays.
So don’t put it in a straight jacket
Let it move
Let it breathe.
Let it live even when you die.

Don’t regret.
Early morning rooster call
Sun is awakening, new challenge awaits
People wake up to start their routine,
not knowing…
In one little moment
everything can change

Promise the new day holds.
Good or bad.
Still always do your best.
Care and share
Say “ I love you”, while there is still time
till it’s to late.

Miss you
My heart aches,
eyes filled with tears
Every time I come home
My eyes search for you
I expect  to hear you bark
come to me with wiggling tail
Happy to see me.
Now it’s silent
I almost asked
Where is he?
Every time you would wait for me
to eat together
Yes it was stressful at the end
But how I miss you my faithful friend.
How I miss you when I come home and you’re not there.
Every time .

Music, the melody within
Happiness, sadness, passionate love ,
all kinds of feelings.
Hidden emotions deep within.
Coming to life, in a melody that
lives in our hearts
Listening to music can do the same .
Makes you feel, gives a smile
or tears in the eyes
Touches deep within
We recognize each other in just listening.
Brings us together,
makes one realize
how very much alike we are.
Different appearances
from different cultures and lands
Still it’s the same melody that touches our hearts.

Memories🌄
Scent and music
Both shortcuts to long term memory
Fragrance imbedded in my mind
Fragrance of a very special kind
Aroma of food or the scent of freshly mowed grass
Like parfume of the cherry blossoms
Rising up to heaven
Walking through the streets
memories of what used to be
connected with all senses.
A long lost melody
bringing  everything back to life right before my eyes.
Pleasure, pain and delight.
All feelings
like a long forgotten song
Stays  forever in the mind.

Precious memories stay forever with us. That’s a beautiful thing.

Silent bird
The bird sat still
For years.
One wing was free.
First moving wildly,
while the other was tied down.
The bird learned through watching.
Fed by the wind.
To survive this flightless life,
still full of light.
Never reaching potential heights.
Now set free he didn’t even know how to fly anymore.
There sits a still bird still.
Watching.
Wondering what it’s like
up there .

Reflected in so many things

A lingering love forever
It’s a deep gaze and  see you soon
Then you say goodbye

My sweet sun of paradise
Constant love of life.
