Jay birds
Me and You Oct 2019
This morning I was called
out on the balcony
by two insistent
jay birds

Apply bird's eye
Me and You Oct 2019
A wooden boat
with coloured, ragged sails
like a patchwork rug eagerly patched
together by two children
floats downstream

From here you see
all the way the boat has come down
has navigated through some
really critical points
and shallow water

Through some serious storms

And you smile benevolently
when you see it bravely rambling on
and sometimes lose direction
or so it seems

On the boat
on its slippery wooden planks
you stand holding on to
the mast and see
something else

There you see
howling waters coming
towards the fragile looking  bow
sharp pieces of
rock and massive bark floating by

You see the horizon and the unknown
behind it
the potential
Niagara Falls

You hear the bashing sound
of the water masses
the roar terrifies you
paralyses-

Apply bird's eye, dear

What is that you hear?

Apply
bird'eye
and float
downstream

Downstream
Me and You Oct 2019
Eyes closed
and rushing
downstream
towards something
you want
and are
scared of

But on the way
the current washes
off the fear so that
you'll definitely get there
whole and
bright
and clear
God the way is so so so hard somedays

Step One
Me and You Oct 2019
A lot
a lot a lot
a lot of
other people's
Fear
circulates
around you
and desperately seeks
to find your heart-
And you
at times
will open it and
let it in
Step by step

What the Truth is
Me and You Oct 2019
Nobody told me
what the truth is
because I guess
the truth reveals
itself-
just like a person
******* step
by step-
and knows
when you
are ready
you are ready when you want to be

A Language for You
Me and You Oct 2019
how sticks and stones
sometimes
connect with you

how different notes
of fragrance
put you into
another place and time-

how feathers
fabrics
woes
are talking to your eyes
and how

in wind
and water-
and in light-

how there are
calming sounds
of peace and knowing

and just how gentle
(and how smart)
they guide you

through the night

The Poet of Inis Mór
Me and You Oct 2019
In reality
a captain
with crooked head and proud-
a proud guy
of the sea-
thank you for
your nice welcome
piece of poetry
I really liked it-
and thank you for
connecting
that poem there
with
me
Thank you Robert :)

Dance
Me and You Oct 2019
Is it
necessary to cut
all the chords
before
I really
dance?

Yes, says the voice, cause otherwise
you're just a marionette

What if I'm scared?

Then be scared, it says, be scared
and be with it.

Crystal clear
Me and You Sep 2019
No more lies
or games
no shame taken
on

I am
what I am
and will
with no fibre of me
adjust
just to make you feel
better.

Swallowed
Me and You Sep 2019
Picture a vast
wild sea
rough and waves
as high as
skyscrapers
ice cold water
and sharp edged
riffs

what is it
I ask from
you?

I ask you
to

jump

and become
the sea
with every bone
every muscle
every single of your
eyelashes and words
and breaths
become
the sea

before it calms down
and washes you
to the shore
and let's you off

and your eyes meet
all you constantly
dreamed of

Abundance
Me and You Sep 2019
you stay still,
listen,
and then utter
your honest wish which is
to share your
overflowing
Love
with someone.

Postcard from Here
Me and You Sep 2019
A pilgrimage does not
start on the pages
you may as well walk
around blocks and into
grocery- and coffee shops

As long as you can say
for sure the way came
from your heart
and you did not
let anyone dictate
a starting point for you

everything's well

Have coffee
cigarettes and cake
on your own path
have everything that makes
the aching fear come
out

Take good advice and
money, wisdom, sweets
take all this from your friends but don't make
doubt to be a thing to take on

And maybe you will meet me
on your way
and maybe we will chat or have
a cup
or maybe you'll walk past
and that is fine with me

And at the end maybe
you ll meet
Yourself
shake hands
embrace
and turn around to see
that is was worth it.

Enter: Flood
Me and You Sep 2019
Holding
holding
holding the strings together
of the net which is
already ripped
you are so
devastated
clutching
the wet fabric
and yet with almost
99 percent by now-

you see the picture
of torn down stone walls
houses
bridges
bricks and cans and garbage bags
all tied together in a sac
of string
and how a kid
with fatal look and scissors
approaches -

you **** well know the kid will bring you freedom
you
****
well
know-

why hesitation?
why delay?
cause things take time til their decay can be
accepted-

look up
and see the waters rolling in
look up and see
the flood

let the kid
cut
the last remaining string
and roll with it

The Bottom of Faith
Me and You Sep 2019
There'll be a point when you
exceed a line
of being asked
again
but when it is instead
a well known fact that you
will always answer
yes
I do believe.

From this point on
no grief, no pain or sorrow
will ever knock you
down again
Me and You Sep 2019
Take the freedom
to borrow my eyes
and look through them
on things
it may bring freedom
to you and
me

The Center
Me and You Sep 2019
Deep
deep
and even deeper
is a light
planted like an
anchor that
never
never goes out

You do not
need to be
in doubt about this

Don't hurt
Yourself, Love
It is
always
there

The Pact
Me and You Sep 2019
Earth Calling

Do you not like to dwell
on my soil anymore
do you not know how much
I laboured for the mountains
and the trees to give
some shelter
so you could hide in them
do you not
in a single second stop
and think?


      In a giant
      buzzing place full of high-pitched buildings
      playgrounds with no
      hiding space and barbed wire
      fence
         a density takes place that's of
         another world
         gives rise to loads and loads of
         cloudy thoughts that lead to
         cloudy politics and building
         walls of glue and bricks to block out
         what seems other-

While Mother Nature ravels on
and moans about such silly
helpless creatures
who bread us and then leave into a realm
of materialistic faith that
crumbles
yet if one stops or stumbles
across a shiny apple,
just shrugs or frowns in
disbelief-
he cannot treat it as a sign of
brief and honest earth connection-

      and hurries in a frightened pace
      off to the next brilliant distraction
      while the poor planet grieves-


Earth cries and
sighs in her green nest
and asks the Universe for
just a little rest from those blindfolded
human things-
so it is Universe who
brings relief
to the blue planet and its stars

and while the fox and bat, the Milky Way and Mars
are busy watching
they see a pair of black hands reaching
down toward the Earth
caress her soil and plants and fields
for it is worth it-

     A shooting star flies by
           smiles for he saw
     out of the corner of his eye

     a vision of two pairs of hands-
            one green, one black-

              and keeps on shooting
             across his well known track
                  keeping in mind the image

                
                                                       of fingers interlocked

Everything's Connected
Me and You Sep 2019
I'll never forget
how we sat on the sofa
and you bravely looked
into my eyes to
declare:
everything's connected!

No Fear Left
Me and You Sep 2019
A sharp knife in
her hands she separates
that which does not belong-
which rejects
integration

She highlights-
like the lines pointing
towards emergency-
the puffy artificial stuff

the rough parts-
those that give you a
real headache trauma

all drama, all that sticks
to you and makes you
heavy-

drop it now
go on
be ready to
explode

Waiting for your eyes
to open
really is the
hardest part
it is tough.

Winter was coming and left
Me and You Sep 2019
Do not take things
too literal, my love
see all the other levels
so that you are
allowed to move beneath
the stuff
and break free
:)
Me and You Sep 2019
It is dark
it is night
and you do not
keep your eyes closed

you chose to see
you know now you
are going to meet
unpleasant people
unpleasant things roaming
in that dark

but you are not
scared anymore

not sneaking through little
openings and escape that
honest dark room

you are going to
stay until
every creature and every
memory in this darkness
has shown up
and passes by your side giving you
an understanding
high five and
leave

so that you are moving
freely again
free for the
light
...
the night king
aplaudes
bows in respect and
dissolves

Burst - Welcome Home
Me and You Sep 2019
Sprinkle
sparkling stuff

explosions in the        
air but          
good ones

no brick rests upon      
dusty brick

no rules restrict us      
any more

burst      
    
my love          
in sunlight

  stretch  

your arms and    
lungs

I love you.

Courage

is when you
know that opening your eyes will
attract the night king

do it.

Pick that Apple
Me and You Sep 2019
She hears too many voices
stands in stupor
hand reaching up
and in that pose
is frozen

chosen not to trust
her inner voice
the only one that counts

and so she stands a while-
hand up and clinging
to the tree
eyes fixed upon
the apple-
when

a sudden breeze
brushes her face and makes her
blink
enough to interrupt the flow of
fear and guilt and shame
enough to plant into her ear
the humming sound
of color
enough to make her spirit sink
into her hand and
make
her
grab
the fruit

Pollute her not
it hums
and leave her

retrieve your rightful place
my love
and munch away
your apple.

Glendalough Fairy Tree
Me and You Sep 2019
With your coloured ribbons
you look so nice and
friendly
and when I touch your skin
it makes me wonder
what people ask for

and I step back to get
a good look at you
and wonder
what will I ask for?

And when it comes to me it is
the most peaceful feeling
ever-
that I ask for
nothing
because I know
everything is already
in motion and
coming to me.

The House full of Candles
Me and You Sep 2019
She lives in
a house full of candles and lights
one for each happy thought

He walks by and feels
the warmth of her fire
on his skin and stops

and knocks on her door.

Head in my Hands
Me and You Sep 2019
Ignite
a spark
from the middle

and show
the world
its colours

Come
smile your Buddha smile again,
it makes me so
unspeakably
happy.

Wake Up
Me and You Sep 2019
Stretch
your backbone,
Love,
You' ll need it

defeated and
in corners lie
your enemies

you look through all
your withered poetry and find a piece
that states:

There lie my gorgeous troubles,
the Loveless and the Judges


Breathe out
and know that
you have laboured well
to get this piece of truth
out on the table

that, stubborn and ferocious as you are,
no label will stick hard enough on you
to soak you back into their games

Time to wake up and say
to those who prefer playing
that playing time is over-
that grey suits will not help
to cover up, disguise, a sleeping mind

That, with a BANG, you'll wake them
and make them shake til
every
single
molecule
has chosen to light up
in color.

There go my gorgeous troubles;
the Loveless and the Judges

~
BANG!

Reverse Birth
Me and You Sep 2019
Have you ever wondered if
in every ****** act men try to climb,
want to climb back
into
the mommy's womb-
but simply do not fit
all the way in?

From up in the Tree House
Me and You Sep 2019
Everything is so
touching
already from up here
so tell me, Love
How, how will it be from
within?

The Child and the Lion
Me and You Sep 2019
She lurks
around the corner meeting
the Lion's yellow eyes
half smiling half
keeping his power in
disguise
so as to make her step out of
the shadow

Her gaze through
wooden planks
from high above not yet
daring to confront herself
with that Lion
with that Power?
Always measuring his
every step-
Not yet
descending?
What the...?
Sep 2019 · 72
Enough
Me and You Sep 2019
I owned a lot of things
that are not mine
and did for very long-

Now I ask you
to take it back.

And if the dark disgusts you
maybe take some time
and start by promising
that you will not
push all your ****
to me
again.

Or I will promise
to myself
that I won't take it.
Sep 2019 · 72
Reclaim
Me and You Sep 2019
Reclaim those parts
that you don't claim to be
part of Yourself

Restrain your brain
and start empowering
your mind instead of
spamming it

Stretch out your
arms and widen
your territory of
downright responsibility

Reclaim your ****
and shove it through the light-
and own it.
It is time!  No ******* excuses.

What else
Me and You Sep 2019
My hand moves
On its own
Between
My legs
And rests
Before it begs
My heart
To skip a beat.

Warrior Girl
Me and You Sep 2019
Unbroken
Holding a green
Felt pen in YOUR right hand-

Holding it up
Like a weapon

We start, and keep, and continue drawing
Green into people's hearts
To crack them open.
I know it took me a while.

The Meeting
Me and You Sep 2019
When your truth climbs out
Of you
When finally it slips out from your mouth
Escapes your throat -

If you expect
Everyone watching
This brilliantly frightening
Spectacle
To celebrate and to applaud with you-
Then rest assured, my love:
The only one your truth is
Looking for
The only sound she longs
To hear
Is your hands clapping
Your lips smiling
Your heart
Beaming

If all the world
Still plug their ears
Still shut their mouths
Still
Keep
Their
Eyes
Sealed-

YOU will not.

And clap, clap, clap
Echos the confident sound
Of your hands clapping

Echos back
From the tenement halls.
For now.

Morning Comes
Me and You Aug 2019
A trembling breath
in the cold night
and the little cloud that forms
in the cold air-

And then
for a long second
nothing-

Before-
in a BLAST and WHIRL of sound crashing
of bright light
flooding in-
it dawns on you-

The only thing
the
ONLY
thing
you ever have to do
is

be
Yourself.

Popcorn
Me and You Aug 2019
Kind of like
Universe saying
(eyes rolling):
What in the world do I have to move
to make you trust

you must-
you must not fear
a single bit
what comes your way;

I throw
a bucket of
nature's best flowers
on you
I send out
my animal helpers
make them
approach and watch
over your steps

and however long it takes
until you trust-
believe-
and wake up with
a radiant clarity that wipes
out all gloomy thoughts
-
I'll stay
and watch
and
hold
your
hand.

What We Do Together
Me and You Aug 2019
A sleep
of thousand years or more
in warmth and stars and light
and before
night
was there-

A sleep so gentle
and so genuine

And yet such a huge
happiness
inside my heart
when you came here
and woke me up
to play-

How you said
take your headphones off
and how we walked
then ran
then jumped and laughed
so much-

And how I showed you
that just with a soft
and careful touch
you wake a sleeping flower
and make a million colours
reappear.
Aug 2019 · 76
Loving Stir
Me and You Aug 2019
In your hand
a purple blossom
grows and
opens
and reveals
the sleeping
peaceful
Universe
and how it sighs
and curls up in
your warmth
and how you blew onto
its tiny face
to wake it up
and play-
Me and You Aug 2019
I want to write
a poem for YOU

who has suffered so much
who has seen
so much
and was- for so
so long-
not allowed to see

For YOU
who was always there
sometimes in a dark, dark corner
sometimes out
in the daylight and
dancing

Who never really left
just went
somewhere else in order
to survive

For YOU
who was there before my tiny feet
were touched by the doctors and nurses
before my mother looked into my eyes
for the first time
before I took my first
oxygen breath
before anyone could know-

For YOU
and for the fact
that you are with me
even in times where
I did not believe in
anything
when the waves came rolling so high
and the rain fell so heavy
and the storm blew so hard
I couldn't even
see the shore

This is for YOU
and for me
and to honor
the most beautiful
fact of all-

That it does not matter anymore
whether it is for YOU
or for me
because
we
are
not apart
anymore.
credits for the title of this poem to Toni Morrison, and love.

Kite Runner
Me and You Aug 2019
My heart contains
So much
It sometimes
Frightens me

And my chest tightens
Full of sparkling needles
That pierce inside out
~
But when I stop
And think
And see-
It also contains you

And your heart-
In a momentary fight-
Also contains mine

This makes me free
Of fear
Of bonds
Of lack of time.
Love to you.

Expand
Me and You Aug 2019
How everything-
How pain
And Love
And fear
And light
How everything starts off
In the whirlwind
And is twisted
Until your heart expands
And nothing is
Without a home or left
Outside.

Seaweed bath
Me and You Aug 2019
Thank you for
Having my back
For soaking my skin
And touching my neck in a way
I'm okay with

For surfacing gently
And going back under
The water where my hands are
Clenching so hard
And for
Opening them

Spotted you
For a split second
Blue feathers
Golden belly-
It made us
Happy

And you? Did you notice really?

Fox Woman
Me and You Aug 2019
Follow
We do
Unaware of her
Strength and her
Passion

And wonder why
This wild animal
Does walk in front of us
Fully commited
And planfully
Full of
Love and
Passion.
We were watching wide-eyed in surprise

A gift
Me and You Aug 2019
Clothed in
fancy stuff
in vans and converse and with
Hands full of labels, shapes and
Stuff-
He still remains
A kid of sun
and water

as he is jumping
over rocks and stone
with a holy confidence
that brings the smile
back on my face
And gives me rest

Animal Power Up
Me and You Aug 2019
As path
and walk
and feet
brought me
up on the rocks
I followed

and on my way
encountered
horse

and sheep

and seagulls
and-

a pheasant

and the dog

It's odd
to feel you
on the way

It hurts
to be
so utterly connected

And as I said
Now, every time we stray
from our path
they'll gently
push us back
always with open eyes
and open hearts
Thank  You :)
