Here I stand contemplating
About that forfeited opportunity
To steal myself one last kiss
Feb 2016 · 922
I will stop missing you
Flo Feb 2016
Three long years
Longing for each other
Waiting in incertitude
Maybe one day...

Small Mountain Range
Flo Jan 2016
Isolated in a small mountain range
This is my hideout, my saving shore
This is where I grew up way before
Nothing here ever seems to change

Hills and valleys taking their turn
Meadows and creeks filling them out
A wonderful scenery there is no doubt
Laying in grass without concern

A small mountain range
Hidden inside the heart of Germany
A name most have never heard certainly
It's too little to be known, how strange

It's quite pretty here
A place where the air is still pure
Silence and nature, a stressed minds cure
A perfect place to disappear
Everyone has that place where they can go, when life goes stressfull. A familiar place, used as a hideout to escape our common everyday problems.

Running out of Love
Flo Jan 2016
It's been three years
There is no doubt
Our stressed mind clears
Love is running out

I loved you dear
I really did
But now I fear
Come here and sit

Lets talk about how it was
And talk about what it will be
What has been the cause
That came between you and me

I can't be with you, I'm unable to stay
Pretending there's love is becoming too hard
Day by day
We're drifting apart

Now that you know
How I truly feel
We should let go
And let time pass to heal

I want to thank you
For all the love you gave
There is nothing that I could do
I will treasure this time and keep it safe

The impatient Poet
Flo Jan 2016
It takes time to find the right words
Conceiving them so they may blossom
A construct of words, a piece of art
The perfectionist hidden inside a poets heart

Though impatient he is
Eager to find the most beautiful words
He's rushing it, he's writing too fast
A bad poem he wrote, he's seeing aghast

The impatient poet retries again
A simple relapse it won't happen once more
As he's rushing, he didn't learn from the past
Poetry needs time, he noticed at last
I tend to write too fast and too eager to find the right words and when writers block strucks I don't give myself enough time. What more is there to say...
"Poetry needs time, he noticed at last"

Rebellious
Flo Jan 2016
The feeling of morals and values dwindling
Step by step
As the minutes go by
My mind working strenuous
Trying to forget the past
Decisions I've made
Lose significance
Suppressed by decisions as bad
Maybe worse
Trapped into a facade of being perfect
The need of breaking out
Showing off the
Abysses deep within my soul
Not able to patch that hole
No love in this world
Seems to be strong enough
Stop forcing me to be perfect
I'm not, neither do I want to be
When the night begins
I leave my perfect mask at home
Two sides within the same soul
Two sides of the same coin
Tonight the dark is taking over
Beware...
It's hard to be forced into being perfect all the time, to be responsible, to fall in love with the right people. Sometime you just feel to revolt and show them and rub it in their face that you're not perfect and neither do you want or have to be. It's important to learn from mistakes so let us make bad decisions and hopefully learn from them. Our mistakes play a big part in forming our personality. They are a part of life and some need to realize that.

Trying to be a good Poet
Flo Dec 2015
I'm trying to be a good poet
Using powerful and beautiful words
A scheme looking like art
I have seen it many times
The truth is
I'm not there yet
My journey has just started
Words are not as easy to find
Writers block
The sickness of a poet
Too often leaves me struggling
The appearance of my poems dull
Without much creativity it seems
Yet every kind response
Everyone that takes the time
To read and leave a nice comment
I shall say thank you
It may be a long way to go
But you show me
I'm on the right path
Since 2015 is coming to an end. I just want to thank everyone, who encouraged me, who liked my poems took the time to read them and leave a nice comment. I would have never thought to get such great response. Overall I just want to say thank you.I hope everyone has a lovely new years eve and stay save folks!

Bittersweet Memories
Flo Dec 2015
Last night I had this dream
A dream engrained in my mind
I dreamed about you girl
I finally saw you again
After all these years
Spinning you around
As we danced on the streets
Kissing your soft lips
Seeing your beautiful smile
Holding you close
As I once used to
A dream showing me
What we once had
What will never be the same
A thorn inside
Piercing my heart
Sharp pain
Bittersweet memories...

Rain
Flo Dec 2015
There is humidity in the air
The clouds melting together,
Blocking out the sun
The wind is getting stronger
As I'm sitting on the front porch
Drops of water like tears
Dripping from the sky
The rain in all it's might
Trying to wash away
All of our mistakes
All of our pain
The question is
Will it be enough?
Flo Dec 2015
Ask anyone and most would tell you
They'd love to travel
See the world
Visit foreign countries
Is that the dream?
Never call a place your home
Constantly moving, meeting new people
But you'll never open your heart completely
Think twice before you leave
Your sweet little hometown
Dec 2015 · 661
A simple word of advice
Flo Dec 2015
I have known you for quite some time
You seem to be a riddle
One I can't quite figure out
Never opening your heart
Yet searching for love
I know you are scared
But isn't it the time to be bold?
Girl sometimes we have to take risks
In order to reach for what we desire
A poem I wrote for one of my friends...
Dec 2015 · 458
The Question
Flo Dec 2015
Your love might be real
But I know
He is the most important person in your life
And that will never change
The question is
Can I share the room inside your heart
Or will the lack of space crush my own
Sometimes our significant other leaves or gets taken from us and there comes the time to move on. Nevertheless they leave their marks, if we want to or not. Eventually we fall in love again. The poem deals with the question: can we love two people at a time?

Cloud 7?
Flo Dec 2015
Your presence, your love
Lifts me upon cloud seven
Though I'd rather spend my time
With someone else
Perhaps on cloud two
For I am to afraid
Of falling deep
All the way
Again
Sometimes you are just too afraid of being happy because there is always that possibility that you could lose it all.

Sweet Sarcasm
Flo Dec 2015
How could I ever express myself
Without your subtle tone
Without your sweet scorn
Pointing out the dull remarks
Of other individuals
I love sarcasm and I love using it!

Bygone Moments

Simple Rose
Flo Dec 2015
Lost in my thoughts wandering
Following a road without destination
A rose standing aside the road
So beautifully misplaced
The way the stalks part
Spikes along the way
Until they reach the top
Where a blossom
Is showing it's most beautiful shades of red


As I keep on staring
I finally come to realize
This is life
This is who we are

We're growing up
Each time the stalks part
It's another decision we have made
The spikes being the pain
Along the way called life
Until it reached the top
Where we can prosper
No matter the pain we have been experienced
One day it will wilt making room for others

Can life be really that simple
Like this beautiful flower
Standing alongside the road?
It might be...
Written without knowing, where this was heading to. So that's the result. I hope you enjoy.

Fading
Flo Nov 2015
Baby I'm fading
You're like venom
Spreading inside, infecting my heart
It's making me numb
I'm trapped
Inside your cruel game of love
You won
isn't that enough?
No...
You have to break every piece of me
Some people just have the ability to drive you crazy.

Escaping into poetry
Flo Nov 2015
Writing is my escape
It's my thoughts taking shape
I'm no writer
No poet either
Just a simple guy
Standing underneath the same sky
A human being like you are
No matter if you're near or afar
I'm writing from the heart
All the way from the start
A late night poem written from the heart.

Common History
Flo Nov 2015
After more and more time we spend
With each other
We start to feel connected
Bonded by the same occurrences
Linked by the same pain

You know how I feel
By feeling the same
Always knew what to say
No need to be ashamed

We're sharing a lot of history
Been experiencing quite a lot
You might be the only one
That truly understands
My chasms caused by society.
Sometimes there is only that one person, that can really relate to what you're going through.

Dreams
Flo Nov 2015
I dream of the ocean
I dream of the white beach
I dream of the twilight
When the sun drowns in the sea

Sitting by myself
My fingers play in the sand
As I stare into the distance
The reflection of the moon on the water

The feeling of security
The feeling of complete relaxation
This is paradise
Please don't wake me up
Everyone knows the feeling when they have to wake up and leave sweet dreams behind.

How time changes
Flo Nov 2015
Back in the days I saw the kids
Playing outside
Enjoying their every moment
underneath the sun

We used to play in the dirt
No one cared how we looked
We ripped our jeans
No boundaries between us

We did not know the definition
Of colour, religion, race
We did not care
We were innocent

How I wish those times were back
The childish ignorance
No hate, judgement, discrimination
Some of us should take that as an example
Just another poem on tolerance. Children don't care about skin colour or other apearances. Sometimes even the youngest can teach us a lesson.

The best of me
Flo Nov 2015
I try to push myself every day
To be the person that I want to be
Sometimes things get in my way
But don't you see
Every time I fail
I just have to continue on another day
Push yourself to be the person that you want to be, to achieve what you want to achieve. Don't give up. Tomorrow is a new day, a new chance...

Vicious Love
Flo Nov 2015
Vicious love
You've caught me again
Holding me within your claws
Tearing up my heart
You know I can't love this person
Yet you make me

Watching me break down
Under the pressure of distress
There are so much better options
For me to fall in love with
Yet you seek out the impossible

Divided by thousands of miles
Our hearts kept far apart
The feelings are real
But there is no chance
For I have gone too far away
Again...
For all those, who know how it feels to fall for the wrong person. That know how hard long distance realtionships are.

Why won't you
Flo Nov 2015
Why won't you tell me everything's ok
That all the struggle got pushed out of my way
Why won't you tell me the truth
I do not need your lies to sooth

Why can't everything be the same
Who is the one I have to blame
In this everlasting change
Why does it have to be outside my range

It is so hard to accept
The truth that we cannot adept
To all the changes happening in our life
To all the incidents catching us by surprise

Won't you tell me everything is ok
for I do know it will never be that way
This poem deals with change and the struggles that come with it.

Never turn back
Flo Oct 2015
Never turn back
You might be afraid of what you see
The demons you hide breaking out
Following like ghosts

Never turn back
As all the moments you dearly regret
Are coming back in mind
Tears that have been shed running down again

Never turn back
For what lies in the past
Is only detaining you from moving on

October Morning
Flo Oct 2015
A whiff of Frost on the greenish grass
As I step out into a cold October morning
The leafs have long been fallen
The air so pure and cold
It hurts my lungs as I walk along houses
Of strangers that I've never seen
The solitude gives me certainty
I let my mind wander
How I love the cold times of the year
Just a regular morning...

Depression
Flo Oct 2015
Deep inside where all the pain is hidden
Being afraid to talk to others
Showing weakness is forbidden
Needing help, nobody bothers
To show any sign of sympathy
There are a lot of people out there, who need help. Yet not a lot of people take the time to actually help and take the time to listen. Watch out for those, who hide a lot of pain under fake smiles. Sometimes the people that smile the most are the ones carrying around the biggest burden of them all. Not everyone is strong enough to make it through by themselves.
Flo Oct 2015
Looking into the windows along the streets
Who am I?
Who is that person staring back?
Familiar looking but do I really know you?
What is really on your mind?

Tell me your deepest thoughts!
I wanna know everything about you.
What do you really care about?
What do you feel inside?

What is causing all your pain?
Who are you slowly falling in love with?
What are your greatest fears?
Will i ever get to know myself?!
This is s very odd poem. It is supposed to reflect the question of how good you know yourself. Take a moment and look inside yourself. Take the time to figure out what you feel and truly want.

Friendship
Flo Oct 2015
Our friendship was rusted
Over this long time dusted
Without connection
Or much affection

The past times were rough
We've been through a lot of stuff
Did not know what it still was
We both needed a pause

But remember one thing
No matter what happens you can always ring
I will open the door
Will be your saving shore

My dear friend
I would never pretend
Everything I say
I truly meant it that way
This poem is about an old friend of mine. We had times, where we did not talk much. But she knows. Whatever happens I got her back. This poem is about true friendship. It does not matter what happens. True friends will always be your saving shore in times, where terrible storms are threatening to drown you.

A players poem
Flo Oct 2015
I can't hide this drive
I just want to feel alive
Don't mean to hurt no one
But now that i have gone
You are in tears
Trust destroyed for years
Try to suppress this urge
My soul i try to purge
Failing every time
Here i sit and rhyme
Was raised this way
Unable of letting love stay
Moving from one to another
Any feeling of guilt i smother
Will i ever change?
I was debating on wheter to post this poem or not. This poem is not written on personal experience. I tried to see things on a players point of view. They often hurt people not because they want to but because they are unable of setteling down and accepting love. I write about things that I see are happening around me. I see people, who cheated or broke up but they did not necessarily mean to hurt people but just could not be satisfied with the love they had and thrived for more. It was a weird poem to write and it is not meant to protect those, who cheat and hurt people but to give people something to think about, what the reason might be why some individuals play and hurt others. Of course not everybody does this on accident. However I hope you still enjoy my poems and I was able to give you something to think about!

Piano
Flo Oct 2015
Note to note across the keys
My fingers jumping as if brought to life at last
Finally bringing my mind to ease
My fingers moving incredibly fast

I barely see the notes
It all comes automatically
The entire world around me floats
Feeling so ecstatically

Music is an amazing thing
No matter the kind
Let's go out play and sing
I would not mind

To see all those faces filled with joy
Even though i am talking here about the Piano. It is generally about instruments or music in general. It is for a lot of people including me the best way to relax and calm down. There is no language barrier. Music brings people together. Go out and play some music!

Love yourself
Flo Oct 2015
Everyone is talking about heart break
Most of your guys hearts ache
Love is not a simple thing
It's often the cause of this oh so painful sting

We try to compensate our emptiness with affection
It's only distraction
We have to love ourself first
To protect our heart from the worst
How can we expect people to accept us when we can't even accept ourselves
It is just a thing that I see most people struggle with, even I struggle with at times. It is very difficult to accept ourselves at times. Maybe sometime we do not worry about those little flaws on ourselves. Mostly these are the things that differ us from the rest and makes us special.

Tolerance
Flo Oct 2015
How hard can be a way
Of peace and tolerance
How come I see every day
People, who take every chance
To find a reason to discriminate
Colour, religion or gender
Why does it have to be so much hate
Why can't we treat each other tender
People so narrow-minded
Continuing to stir up trouble
Throughout their hatred they've been blinded
Here we stand in front of rubble
Let's pick up the pieces and built up a society based on equality
This poem is meant to be a plea. A plea to everyone to try contributing to a society, where people can be equal. To go out and start making a difference. Everyone can contribute. I really hope that one day we can look over the boundaries such as religion, coulour, *** or ****** orientation and treat each other the way everyone deserves to be treated.

Emptiness
Flo Sep 2015
A hole inside my heart
Big; hollow; dark;
Has always been there
Never thought I should care

Covers up over time
Naive were the thoughts of mine
To think about a better place
With hope and love no pain and sorrows

Things I can not achieve
No matter how hard I try; imagine and believe
Still a hole inside my heart
Big, hollow and dark
Emptiness

We are trying to overcome
Our problems and flaws
We think they hold us strong within their claws
Wishing we could change ourselves
Knowing we will fail trying
This is my very first poem I've ever written. It also is one of my favorites. It can be interpretated in different ways. It is about trying to change the world for a better and seeing oneself failing in the process to do so. It is also about trying to change the very own personality to a better but finding oneself unable to do so and proceeding in falling into old habits that were thought to be overcome. Pain is playing an important role in this poem, which can sometimes knock you down. However even in the darkest moments one should not give up.

Why?
Flo Sep 2015
Always going after the ones, who don't care
The ones we love, a love they don't share
Playing and using us
It hurts but but we can't see
Feeling empty useless and depressed
Why does it break our heart inside our chest
Knowing they would be this way
Why do we want to make them stay?

A hidden smile
Covered by a sea of pain
Don't give up

Shallow
Flo Sep 2015
You were unable of seeing the great personality within
Did not care you just want to use him
Playing with his heart before you leave
He should not have deserved this grieve

In this town he is good enough
Whispering into his ear telling him that this will change
These words sound tremendously rough
Knowing he is not good enough no more feels entirely strange
He really liked you
Your feelings however were always shallow
Leaving him behind moving on to the next best victim

Humanity?!

How can we eat while others starve?
How can we sleep at night while others don't have a place to sleep?
How can we deny help facing those who lost everything?
Saying we don't have the funds
Yet we waste food and money.
Locking out those who are desperate for help
Closing our eyes
On which point did humanity die?
Regarding some european countries closing down their borders keeping refugees out.

Too afraid of getting hurt again

Receiving nothing in return

No love that you could share
Why do I feel so conflicted

Alone in the dark, no time for sleep

If only
I could change myself

Words
Flo Sep 2015
Words can harm, soothe or charm
Very differently they can be used
By people, who might not be enthused
To look after what they are saying

Many people, who are getting hurt
By unwisely chosen words
Words as powerful and deadly as weapons can be
Too late to apologize and say sorry

Be careful using the word
As you might regret, whom they hurt
Actioms that can not be undone
Horrible the consequences may be
