it’s really autumn now,
still early though and in addition to a heavy rain
a fall of leaves is falling carefully too,
well, letting go. sometimes takes time

my thoughts, also wandering
some of them fall into the soft bed of my heart
gently, lovingly received
and bring a smile to my face

they are transformed, I know,
what a wealth,
all colours showing their beauty
and radiant in the light

Is there anything more that I want
nothing,
I let myself be nourished with that what is
because sun shines on my shoulders

all those sparkling tears
make way for a new love

like a river they flow
searching their way
to another heart

gently, gently
the storm has calmed down

the world is mine

i walk my path sun on my shoulders
and now and then a shadow of the past
balancing around the centerline

the world is mine

a day after the heat
a few licking flames
tormenting my body

I pray for cooling
desperate
but my tears just feed those flames

the pain is unbearable
I just want to dissolve
like water evaporates by the fire

His texts were like a zipper,
an opening to an old wound
where the worm ate sunrays in his guts

he made fire
underwater,
again and again,

until all extinguished
with one bang

Put down your veil so I can recognize you
show me your light,

your changing colors
without paint

I remember that white dress
like wings it was

you went a different way
there at the crossroads

you came, silently
returning not blurred
but immensely present

hold me, she said
against all knowledge
a rhetorical question

let me go, she said
against all knowledge
a rhetorical question

inseparable
the force of connected souls
eternity

the sky
she touched
the earth
he moved
it was
completed
