there are rumors
about me
loving you

people must have gathered
my thoughts
my longings
sweet desires

like feathers
flowing on my breath

into one direction…….

you stretched your arms
a flash of lightning
and I could fly

my shadow is chasing light
along banks of the night
I just surrender to the clouds
and kiss yesterday goodbye
climbing the rays
up I go
until
I'm safe
in hands of tomorrow
andfeel how my radiating soul
that has found its source

I'm at home

a calm twilight
caresses the shores of the gently flowing stream
golden reeds whisper their evening song
so peacefully

a single call of a bird brings no distortion
it’s a lullaby for the sun going under
flowers fold their leaves as in prayer
waiting for the night to cover them up

and I
I sit here
wishing nothing else

layers of dark
cold sadness

a sacred and profound
inner experience

emptiness
shows the strength
to be filled again the

brilliant
like
a diamond

until
I could
see through you

carrying you
like a devil
on my shoulder
whispering sweet lies

want to stop

my head says yes
my heart says no

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

I pray for heaven
and there you enter

Along the edges of visible light
I walk the path of oblivion
balancing the edge of existence
wind flows ink together
on sheets of blank water
I draw the images of my long journey.

A desire that I only now understand
appears to be a life regained
and then I see how slowly
the red hues of the sun merge with
an immense cooled sea at the horizon
it’s the place where light merges with darkness
and finally will radiate again
where shadows rise a new.

blue eyes talking
beams of forget me nots

the chambers my heart
occupied by you

all those yesterdays
playing mind tricks

missing you
is missing a part of me

L’aube

I woke up
in a purper glow
my lashes full of tears
or was it dew
gently caressing my eyes
to give me vision

they eat
light
and emptiness
wrath weighted
on butterfly wings
was blown away
fear evaporates
into choice
of coincidence
the life meaningful
is born renewed
virginal white
warmly flows
into blushing rose red

silently,
the journey
from here
to there

heart
light in weight
above
fruit bearing bowl

bread,
uncovered
awaits

faithful
to nature
force
and power

immortal
is the soul

life is short
so extend it
with dreams

the night
just stars and a floating moon
a map to heaven

last night
I wrote a fairytale
the perceiving of you

I shaped flesh
around the structures of my bones

how lucky I was for that moment
when I loved my imperfection

whatever you reflect it’s me
whether I like it or not
whatever I reflect it’s you
whether you like it or not

For a moment,
just a moment
there was a belch
of unwanted tenderness
the body responded
thoughts were
still adherent to the dream
desire, floating
as in the morning
beyond brightness.

your lips
your lies
double trouble
your hips
your eyes
you are
double trouble
so I beg you
no trips
no ties

take me to the land
where we are free of distinctions
no east, no west
take me to a land
where silence speaks
but we are speechless
take me to a land
were only love is our karma

a shattered mirror
reflects all my faces
but
It’s just me
another you
with all the faces of the world
