I stop thinking
before I forget to live this incredible beautiful life

Tomorrow is another day

I think….

soft music is playing
while my thoughts are drifting
I am instantaneously  
taken to faraway places
where dedication prevails
and we
understand each other without words

paper carefully ***** my words
sentences are formed
liquid and dark as velvet
like flowers of silence

tones of a gentle song  
are showing the monologue
born out of my being

it has been
a long time
when I tuned the strings
and wrote the arrangements

and still I’m busy
bringing them to perfection

freezing cold
an empty cemetery
gravel crunches

fullness
of the everyday
stripped of the core
the skin remains
empty
and so extremely light
it disappears
by the wind
without you noticing it

I burned my fingers
when I tried to shut your
firespitting mouth

I should have done it with a kiss

now it hurts
when I want to touch you…

smiling from head to toe
love is tickling me
