The Snail's Trail
Me Jun 2020
A sparkling
sticky trail on a
wet forest path

A morning between
broad-leafed trees and
speedy bugs

Blackbird couples
skimming
the leafy ground

Soft
eager rays of
silver light
separated by
red tree trunks

Reflecting back from
the snail's trail
tracing it
like your eyes do

The Opposite of Life
Me Jun 2020
The opposite of
Life is not
death but
stagnation,
Honey
Once you get this you'll be
absolutely safe in
every
single
situation -
knowing:
your system
evolutes
HA!

Reclaim Your Place
Me Jun 2020
Make the
current
yours
you always were
a child of
water
no fear,
Love
step right
into
the stream
flow with
what flows
with you
and trust
your mind is just
playing protection

The Fool Directs
Me Jun 2020
The fool
directs
every move from

most
loving
playful care
one eye
teary
of compassion
the heart bigger

The Bonfire
Me Jun 2020
A bonfire in the
dark confronting me with
pure essence
stirring
every bit of pain
in my heart
and
afterwards
familiar tickling
warmth

Detoxicating
Me Jun 2020
It's hard to expect
people to treat you
Kindly and act
peacefully if
they themselves want it
so much but never
knew how
in the first place

It's hard to see at first
that Your role
is not
to receive from them
but to
give-
if you choose-
'cause you can
Next time I 'll just say I feel disrespected and don't leave.

Thyroid Butterfly
Me Jun 2020
My doctor goes
crazy about
my thyroid
flutt'ring
here and there not
giving
any
steady
values to be
accurately measured
I soothed her today
saying
thinking
It's just
Life calibrating
my body balancing
itself
It's just the
Butterfly Effect
She says ok but
please
get yourself another
appointent
I smile we
both know
It's just my body
calibrating itself
It's just
Life
calibrating -
No pills will cure your balance, Dear.

We Can't Breathe
Me Jun 2020
The City feels dense. Dust was
whirled up
stirred-

I can't breathe.

I see it coming.

I can't breathe.

I see paranoia
I see people
doing what they are told

I can't breathe.

I see fear
manifested
externalised

I can't breathe.

I hear voices singing
repeated songs
I read
repeated
memes and phrases

I can't breathe.

I see
millions of
masked faces
masked children who
were forced to play
grown-ups
premature
stuffed into lives
too scary
yet

I can't breathe.

I
see
behind every mask
a pair of
child eyes

They cannot breathe.

I
walk
steadily
stretch out my
hand
to
pull

off their
mask


Breathe.

I say


Breathe.


LIVES matter.
I am shocked.

The Confident Child
Me Jun 2020
A playful kid shakes
An outstreched
Shaking hand of
A hesitant being
Smiling confidently
Take it easy
Saying
The gap will
Melt away like
Ice in summer

Are You Ashamed
Me Jun 2020
Are you
Secretly ashamed of
Humanity
Are you
Thus
Disgusted by a part of
Yourself
Too
And reject
Your own
Humanity
The inner being that
So urgently wants to
Connect
I am. I want to change this. 💔

Some days
Me Jun 2020
Some days
Everything

And there's nothing
To make it go
Away because
Going away is
Exactly what
It had to do
All the time

Down the Cellar Stairs
Me Jun 2020
I climbed down the
Stairs into
The cellar last night finding
Half of myself on the floor
At the bottom
Listening while
This half could
For the first time
Explain to me what
He did down here
All the time and I could
For the first time comfort
This part that is so
So dear to me
Like I needed to
I think we both
Climbed up the stairs
By now
Together

If the Wolves Ate You
Me May 2020
If the wolves
ate me
they'd have had a
good reason
and I know they won't
eat me because
they are
neither starving nor am I
interfering in their
territory
If the wolves
ate you
they'd have had
a good reason

Just Let Go They Say
Me May 2020
You need to
Feel
The pressure first and see
Why
It was there
And maybe you'll
Discover
That it had quite
A purpose
All that time
I just realized that it was probably those people all the time who keep urging you to "just let go, flow, drop your guard" and **** who made me create it in the first place. No point in forcing it down. Rather, be thankful for its protective function first.

Collision
Me May 2020
Did your
Soul and Person,
too
collide and did it
propel you in
the utmost struggle
as well
Did you
like me
see yourself out of
facets of
disrupted glasses
did you
trust
everyone more than
your
inner
self
Did you,
too
grow and grow and
grow without
your outer knowing
for such a long time
Did you
throw tantrums whenever
facing
a new
thick
layer between
the two
Did you
like me
understand
only now
how
marvellously great and
powerful
you have become
through this

It's there for
A reason

Electricity Flow

Heart and

At the moment knocking
Each other out
Like an electric current
One little electron
Just not agreeing

Buzzard Hawk Dance
Me May 2020
Four buzzard hawks came flying
Into my view today
Dancing in the air
Before the
Azure blue sky and triggered
A relieved
Exhale putting
A smile back on my face

Simple
Me May 2020
The heart simply
Knows
While the mind is busy
Coding and decoding

The heart patiently
Waits for the mind
To adjust to its
Rhythmic beat

World's Best Technology
Me May 2020
You are
A masterpiece a super
Seismograph
And now
You do not only register
The scary earthquakes
Now you can
Rediscover
The complete power of
Your full technology
If you are human you have super powers, whether you know it or not :-* You are asked to make use of it.

Waiting for the Rainbow
Me May 2020
The rain gets
Stronger now and drops
Noisily
Onto the glass roof top
While first rays
Of light come through
And we
Like kids
Are waiting for the rainbow

Of Going Home
Me May 2020
How you said
whining
You want to go home
How I got it
then
and answered
You can go home soon
How this was
probably
the hardest thing
I ever did
Hospital scenes

Hospital Scenes
Me May 2020
A part of me still
flinches
at the sight of
hospital scenes
tubes and white sheets
blood stains-
it's not the hospital though
it's
the memories

Out of the Woods
Me May 2020
Out of the woods stumbles, falls the most lovable creature,
beaming red face half smiling half bewildered and tears everywhere, scratches on the cheeks and forehead and even on the nose,
thick eyebrows covering beaming eyes.
You take first
hesitant
steps
, walk towards the tree line, where the grass melts into the soil and touches the tree trunks.
This face, beaming; Your eyes, still a bit fearful to meet.
But oh you cannot really wait.
You take more steps, walk a bit faster now,
watch your own feet as their pace quickens…
still quickens…
How your heart opens, reaches out
I feel like a deer!
May 2020 · 36
Surrender
Me May 2020
Your mind goes
Not strong enough
to do this
not strong...

your head almost
exploded
but
you are not strong for
knowing it
you gain strength
on the way

Of Hugging a Devil
Me May 2020
He'll follow you nonetheless
in the shadows
so you might as well turn
face him
see how
crooked and helpless
he looks
how he took on the shape
of your enemies
Go over
Love
hug him
embrace
the stuff you have
externalised
Make this poor devil
stop the chasing
I think all the mess started when we created a figure to be responsible for all the **** we never wanted to face. I also think it is time facing it :)

Embracing
Me May 2020
I am a woman holding
a sword and able
to fight
I am a woman commanding with most
harsh and assertive words
I am a woman making
the sharpest decisions
I am a man knowing
all of my feelings
I am a man holding space
for a woman
I am a man loving
without conditions
I am two hands reaching
out for each other
I am
an embrace
long awaited

[I am the mother and the child]

Still a Bit Impatient
Me May 2020
I grab
your hand pull you
through the door
merge
to fly
in black and white
night skies and wait for
daylight to come
Me May 2020
The puppeteer thinking
all along he's
in charge and power while
all the puppets know very well
and play along for his sake since
without them he'd be
just downright lonely so they
let him off the strings
slowly and with
utmost caution
and only when they know
he's ready

And he is ready now
Me May 2020
Wearing a crown quite often
makes you feel very
lonely
and burdened

A weight on your head that
if you be honest
never fully felt
yours
in the first place

Now
sharing the weight
handing over a little
splinter of
this
very
crown
does feel

so much lighter
and just
May 2020 · 29
Feeling
Me May 2020
These days
when I say out loud
or think
I miss you
what I mean is
I can't wait

I love you.
May 2020 · 23
It's YOU
Me May 2020
It's not any
outside force that decides
does the spin top drop
or not
it's YOU
Babe,
all along has been
Me May 2020
If you
Externalize
Your pressure
Dear
It will
For sure
Push back to you
And you will feel
Awkwardly pushed away and not
know
Why

Love Liberates
Me May 2020
Love
after all
has the power to
fully
liberate you
My mother's death taught me this hardest of lessons.
You can only let go what is in your heart already ❦
Me May 2020
Holy Christ how
the hell could we
for so long
leave out
of this gesture
the Mother
how
on earth
could we think
this would work
Just spontaneously was VERY outraged last night about this.

The Crying Man
Me Apr 2020
Do not hide
a single tear dripping
down from your chin
do not listen
to the jealous
insecure choir
be male
be delicate

Again,  crying has nothing to do with showing weakness; it's showing yourself in a vulnerable state which to me is the opposite of weakness; courage, and a statement to others to do the same.
Apr 2020 · 69
Assertive and Gentle
Me Apr 2020
A fierce
little woman always
so so assertive always
having to hide
cut it down
always sliding along
the edge of self pollution
Enough!
head up Love
and
chin out
be female
be assertive

We all have masculine and feminine powers inside, and  we are always allowed to use both. I think men  could learn that assertive women are not a threat to their masculinity, but rather a friend and equal partner in creativity.

Masturbation Ritual
Me Apr 2020
It's not all just
hips moving
Love
it's more than that and less
mechanical

A dream of two palms
touching
a spark
ignites the whole of
universe

And later
panting
two kids having run
a long way
smiling at each other

How come this feels so
warm and familiar
and new
all at once

In the Field
Me Apr 2020
You hear this, listen.
I sit, naked, covering up a bit. I sit in a field, and no one sits with me yet. I stand, sit or both in turn. My skin feels so open that every thing comes like a blow.

I felt like this so often during the past few months, maybe even years. I felt like this, and did not feel like this.

I was naked in the field and unshielded because I could. I was naked because I knew I could be, and that you were there with me, always. I knew it and did not know it.

The eyes closed, the eyes open, half open. And the knowing, always there, but sometimes just like a distant scent, afar, in the background, to be grasped only with utmost gentleness.

This knowing grew, and so did my heart. Until now, it seems to let everything touch it, again, and feel for everything.

I am naked in the field, and I see everyone else, naked, being there with me.

Eyes open or not.
Apr 2020 · 32
Is it just that
Me Apr 2020
Is it just that
all things now
come together
Is it just
a warm confirmation
Is it
what I hope it
to be
Is this
a question,
Dear
or is it already
your answer
