It could be like this,
she says, disguising her pride by
raising one thin eyebrow
in what she hopes
is an eloquent manner
giving him the pains of
hiding
best as he can
the loving smile that wanted to pop onto his face
and beam, fully, at her;
It could be
just like this:
and he reads it

Already somewhere
in yet darker corners and still
slightly hidden
sights
some are mumbling
about love returning
about something
utterly
rejuvenating yet
slightly painful
returning
into
a stream of life blood
a stream
making it
for the first time
as it should be


A thunder growling in the distance
but it is not threatening

A beaming smile
now coming through
against all odds
inevitably

A dashed blasted, beaming
most beautiful
smile

I feel you in my backbone
always there
always
I feel you
with all I have
never go away
never leave me

a voice makes the desert trees shake
and sand curl around your navel
in an airy breeze
caressing the relief outline of the Wakhan mountains
on your skin
the hot core within tranquil
this is
a night of peace
the stars' sincere presence
as soothing as ever

How come the snow burns
holes in my hand today?
How come it turns not

Still drunk

"You taught me the courage of stars
before you left
How light carries on endlessly,
even after death
With shortness of breath
You explained the infinite
And how rare and beautiful it is
to even exist"

A young child sat
On the branch of the Apple tree
Wondering, watching
Trying to make Sense

Now she breathes
Finishes her Apple in Peace

Before she'll climb down

Nodding.

Now I'll Join.

You brace yourself take
A deep breath
Before you open

A live dog INSIDE, gazing up at you
Half embarrassed half
Amused about you FINALLY
making Up your mind.

"I was the shadow of the waxwing slain"
said once a clever voice

I now am caught by words repeated
and sit
and stare

and do not dare to move
when I should do

As if I had a choice!

Or do I?

Thank you for
Having my back
For soaking my skin
And touching my neck in a way
I'm okay with

For surfacing gently
And going back under
The water where my hands are
Clenching so hard
And for
Opening them

A girl in the streets, *****, untidy hair a scary look on the face plays
a violin facing
all the while
the man who hates it

One by one he
cuts
her strings but she
keeps playing without a single
alteration on her face

Not even after the
very
last
string has - with a final thud - been cut in half
does she stir

And only when -

It's only then that he does realise
grows pale and with wide eyes feels something sting:
the sound never came from the instrument.

He exhales
gives in
surrenders to the
vibrant sound surrounding
his every cell and hair and thought
bathes
in what ought to be
for so long

Les yeux...

No: eyes that pierce my heart
and - sorry for poetic nonsense - drive
sharp darts into me

Eyes that do close exclusively at night
when mine do so, as well

Eyes that - I wish it wasn't so -
exist with double weight and double size
only in my imagination, in my vain, god-forsaken brain!

Eyes -

One second, love, I need to concentrate
I need to memorise -
Do not distract me so - do not...


Ah no!
This is the same **** thing, the same **** pair
of home made lies

I'd rather not part this time, though.
No - I would rather stay.

But look (I look), why don't we keep in touch,
or stay, as we have always been, apart: but one?

For I can say that much:

an aching heart is half as painful
if it knows that it is aching.

for then it also knows
the nicer part

the pain that equals
love.

Calmness
Irritates
It seems
Cause everytime
I meet new people
They ask
Why do you speak in such a
Low voice
And I wonder
If I would shout and boast
Would they ask
Too?
It's tiring. It seems that it truly Irritates people at partys. I don't get it. Next time I'll ask them, hmhm and why is it you are shouting so much?....

A ghost has touched my fingertips
they ache, they shake with fear

Into my feet it flows
and gets hold of me,
grows

This is no joke, love
we should run
before it is too late or before-

what is that?
you shake your head, you're not afraid?

Then I will run alone,
as I use to;
as it has shown to be
my safeguard system

not for me, my love:
for you.

Behind the sharp line
Of the red horizon
There lies a city, and it is called Real.

People of Real
Only show their faces
While picking flowers
And walking through brains.

Children of Real
Learn very early
About the black cloud that lingers
Above their horizon.

And they are warned
Not to dream about it
Or to touch it, ever,
For it is not Real.

The cloud they call Liar
For there live the liars –
It is a dusty place
Where dark crowds reside.

And if one day a child
Crosses the horizon –
People of Real
And people of Liar
Will change their opinion.

The heart simply
Knows
While the mind is busy
Coding and decoding

The heart patiently
Waits for the mind
To adjust to its
Rhythmic beat

Singleheartedness,

Is when your eyes
automatically dissect
true words from false ones
And detect the
blind spots

And then

I lift my arms
or else
my arms are lifted

the spinning

slows

and
what?

I took a blow
right on the way
but take it in
with gratitude
or at least
I pretend
to be okay

No, Honey,
I am not yet used
to what you say
is my most normal state-

I hate if you speak like
it's all so easy-
Me Feb 2015

smarter than some poeple
think.

better than a night without
a drink.

better yet,
and still I will forget
this wonderous tale as soon
as I-Phone five
sends its betrayal
to the precursor.

Night
lights on

remember?

How can you?
So tenderly have I disguised my story
from your childish dreams
your shaking grip -
that I can breathe now

Why does the City never sleep?
Because it has no one to sleep with.

with my back still split open
and a head full of paper planes i sit

and dream of foreign lands and days that would
give rise to different things than i already know

pale fire lurks
in corners of my brain
to be extinguished
for it is not mine:
this light!

so i will leave this page
as my hand reaches up
to grab the coffee cup
and an unholy smile
crosses my face

to sneak back to its place
of origin

to crawl back
yes; to leave
cross references behind

and find its own soil.
*I am soooo booooreeeed and should be doing something completely different!!!
PS: I stole the pale fire from somebody else, too!

Help me she says
in a strong voice
and strong is the choice
she made.

Abandon him, she thinks,
I will,
and the chill
that runs down my spine
will freeze not only
my lonely feelings.

It will ignite the urge
for simple ratio;
a thing which, from the depths of my heart
I - upto now - so
despised.

Everything
Hurts
And there's nothing
To make it go
Away because
Going away is
Exactly what

All the time

what a horrible dream that was

As easy as the wind can make
The leaves shake,
So am I able to conjure up the image of your face
In my head.
And all the time, too.

Nothing in-visible to me,
Nothing you do goes unnoticed
But will always be accompanied by
a little counter movement,
A tiny expression on my face.

My Fingertips touch
the Sky and stretch

My feet are glued
so strongly to the

shoot roots so deep
into the Earth
that everything

now melts

with no regrets.

Clinging to the golden needle
I pull and pull
As hard as I can.

But I cannot shift it -
It won’t move
A single bit.

So I get up
And turn my head
And look to the other North.
**a true story**
Me May 2018
We empty plates and dishes
sheds, pots and frying pans,
entire lands, and jars.

We spread our blankets
in the funniest places.

We speak of things
we've never seen or felt, or known.

Thunder and Lightning
turn their shiny faces towards us
and laugh.

Who is this, growls the Thunder.
And under his obedient brow
the Lightning lifts an eye:
This
is
who
the
earth
is
for,
he speeds downward, ignores the Thunder's distant crack
and slides into the earth
before he rushes back.
A leaf is a leaf.

If that's a spell I speak it

If those bright eyes of yours

I'll gladly hear it
Every word with all my heart.

I'll sneek into
The darkest corners of your rooms
And make 'em brighter
So that you' ll
Have
To
See
Them.

And then
Once seen
They will be nice
And cosy.

And your house won't feel
Like having something strange
Inside its belly
Any longer.

Gazing over the lands
he stands
and - withholding breath - waits
for the long war shout
to spill out of his lungs.

Sirens have summoned him
to that place
hiding their holy faces
as he paces behind them.

The message was carved
not in stone
but right into his bones
as he saw the bodies
of his companions.

The long, loaded cry
escapes his throat
and at the horizon he sees
numbers and numbers of men
coming for him
and only for him.

The sirens have long departed
and the demon - standing like a rock -
has started to breathe.

I can't change my heart
Who can?

A warm, wrapped-up love soaks all
that is me -
To remain.
Nada es para siempre.

I can't believe it.

A lot
a lot a lot
a lot of
other people's
Fear
circulates
around you
and desperately seeks
to find your heart-
And you
at times
will open it and
let it in
Step by step

cut the globe
