how much can you Miss someone
how much can you Reject someone
how much can you Hurt someone
how much can you Love someone
how much can you Search for someone
how Blind can you be
how long can you just say "Someone"
how long can you miss someone
without recognizing it
without Recognizing him
how long can you just Miss yourself
what if someone IS yourself
what if someone misses you too
what if someone loves you too
what if someone tells you
i love you
what if you give the wrong answer
what if someone forgives you
everything
what if you finally
recognize

Just some thoughts I had several years ago when I was uncertain about being in love

teach me to sleep
and wake me up when time
awakens
when it stops, sleepwalking
r u n n i n g    a   w    a     y

sunlight finally closes its pervasive eyes
day's brightness fades

blurred and indistinct sentiments are drifting through your wandering mind
all shrouded in this overall languorous darkness
warming you, up to your core

your tired and heavy body is resting in your steadfast bed
wrapped up in this cosy protective blanket
warming you, up to your core

gently close your droopy eyes
fleet glances turn to profound thoughts
deep
and deeper

weightless particels of distant foreshadowing dreams pour in
weaving you into a strange but yet familiar world of boundless adventures

sleep offers you its shoulder to lean on
a vague feeling of
f l o a t i n g    a   w    a     y

Es ist Unglück

Es ist nichts als Schmerz

Es ist lächerlich

Es ist leichtsinnig

Es ist unmöglich

It is nothing but pain

This is one of my most favourite poems. It is written by Erich Fried, an Austrian poet who lived 1921-1988 and was politically-engaged against fascism.
I'd like to share this poem with you because I love its beauty and truthfulness.
In case it is not okay to publish it here since it is not my own, please tell me and I will remove it immediately.

imagine you are sick
cold
alone
sitting in a coolish train
lonesome
thinking of your soulmate
somewhere
train departs
scenery flahing by
thoughts flashing by
too numb to cry
ice-cold nausea
smile on the lips
eyes closed
searching for rest
music on
your song playing
promising solace
pulls and drags on my inside
intense
consuming
i'm holding on tight
too numb to cry
searching for rest
smile on the lips
don't want a song
but a warm embrace
too far away
too far
away
and distant
scenery passing by
thoughts passing by
inside passing by
too fast
too agitated
not tangible
elusive
too numb to cry
ice-cold nausea
smile on the lips
far
away

(original: )
stell dir vor du bist krank
kalt
alleine
sitzt in einem unterkühlten zug
einsam
denkst an dein seelengeschwisterkind
irgendwo
zug fährt los
vorbeisausende landschaften
vorbeisausende gedanken
zu taub zum weinen
eiskalte übelkeit
lächeln auf den lippen
augen geschlossen
ruhe suchend
musik an
lied von dir
trost verheißend
zieht und zerrt in mir
heftig
verzehrend
klammere mich fest
zu taub zum weinen
ruhe suchend
lächeln auf den lippen
will kein lied
sondern eine warme umarmung
zu weit weg
zu weit
weg
und fern
vorbeisausende landschaften
vorbeisausende gedanken
vorbeisausendes inneres
zu schnell
zu bewegt
nicht greifbar
flüchtig
zu taub zum weinen
eiskalte übelkeit
lächeln auf den lippen
weit
weg
This is going on in my mind while listening to one of my boyfriend's songs called "Trance" (he makes electronic music, see "Winter's come"). The sitution in which I listened to it for te first time was not so good, as you can guess ;)

a little walk outside

look at the sunset light, gently wafting through the chilling air, and take a deep breath

feel the warmth of dim glowing nostalgia

listen to the fading susurrus of some last remaining leaves aloft between frail twigs

do you perceive their hushed conversation with all those carefree drifting snowflakes

heralds of the coldest, of the calmest of all times

rich in hazy grayness
rich in homely coziness

are you excited about upcoming burts of dull childish laughter, scattered by agile winds, amongst bright shining white plains

searching for a name of this feeling
expectation
excitement
wistfulness
anticipation

all at once

welcome wintertime
My boyfriend makes electronic music so this refers to one of his songs called "Winter's come" (some other poems of this kind will follow)
