Honesty
Me Nov 2020
How does the light work
Says the bird to the other
And does it hurt to get
Caught in its radiance

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

Deliver
Me Apr 2020
All muscles

all bones
resonate
let go
you don't have to
hold on to it

Red Moon
Me Jul 2020
White lines marking
her skin she
tilts her head
slightly
narrowed eyes
knowing alright
once more through it
with patience
and strength
moonlight keeping
her company
Me Nov 2020
You look at Yourself, at what you are, how soft you feel, how gentle - and you think - can that be can that really be here -  and you start growing around Yourself grow around until every inch of this gentleness is now
protected until
every cell and non-cell knows
You are supposed to be exactly this way and right here where you are
until you intertwine
with what you protect
know it inside out and
embody it without
hiding without thinking without
fear
Just
Being what you always were
Here and Now.

Downhill
Me Apr 2020
With every step you gain confidence.
The night air smells of oregano and rosemary and dust. As you reach the lower, flatter area again, you are surrounded by more green.
The poppies’ red is more difficult to make out without daylight
but you add the shade of bright red
from your imagination.

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 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

A Story of Three
Me Oct 2020
A girl with soft hair cut
herself in three parts once;
One to break forth
and live
through every wild adventure,
one to pretend
to hold her back
to never lack the challenge,
and then the third to have
this story
written down and merge them
back together
like feathers falling from the sky
before your feet
and have you read this,
Dear,
and have you
read this

Learned Things
Me Oct 2020
During the Long Night
a snowflake got caught
in your dark hair
shimmering in silver light

During the Long Night
You always knew
how to conserve a spark
how to share its light

Self-Appreciation
Me Nov 2020
Your shield and sword merge
into one thing being
a dead sure

I'm tired of shielding myself or even filtering **** out. I am what I am.

Old Wounds on Fire

Everyone's judgement except
My own

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!

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]

A part of me still

at the sight of

The Flight

Coming Home Now
Me Jan 2020
A ship
In sight
Happy to reach
The harbour
Which it has longed
To re-disvover
All my poems seem to repeat themselves by second version of themselves. I don't find it weird any longer :)

Voice
Me Apr 2020
On a warm spring day you are walking along a riverbed, thinking. What is the next step. What is it. You are not waiting for a thought to appear to tell you when and how to take action. You are waiting, in truth, for your being to drop the last layer, to get ready and accept the power. The power of your very own voice, to create the world you want.

Once in a while
To hide instead of

If only just
To catch

The Golden Scale
Me Jun 2020
A golden
Scale
Reflects
From where it lies
There in the stream
A gleaming
Single
Ray of light
Directs it so that
It
Precisely
Hits
The iris
Of my resting eye
And
By its
Sheer power
Makes me
Shiver

Buzzard Hawk Dance

Into my view today
Dancing in the air
Before the

A relieved
Exhale putting
A smile back on my face

It'll mend

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

Me Mar 2020
Crescent moon and Venus watch
as the soles

and the palms of your

freely
caressing most
beautiful silky
skin
and a white blossom from
within
opens up

I am

Leading Towards
Me Jun 2020
What is and was and will be

I can handle this
Your
lips between
my legs the first time
I remember
I can actually
handle this

hundreds of
intense
impressions
memories
at a time
I can
actually
handle this

Us
both on a
rocking ship
you holding
my camera
I will
handle this

You every
year making
fig jam for me
flinching at my
stupid joke when we run out
haha-
We can
handle this

You handing over the
binoculars to me
watching
goats in the middle of
nowhere
We will
actually
really
handle this

Baby
Your eyes
saying
everything's connected
and I pull back
just a little
thinking
will we
handle this


You
looking
at me
and nothing
is out of place
nothing else needs
to be
added

We will
actually
truly
handle this,
Love
We
will
actually
handle this

Mercury's Airy Steps
Me Feb 2020
Rushing by
in dust clouds of
red and white he
touches
your shoulder
and you begin
to follow
oddly innocent
Me Aug 2020
Carved into land into soil there run
Veins of steamy wagons
Noisy vehicles
And trains
Along the arteries
Flowers grow
Courageously
inbetween it all
And You-

Through all the noise I hear
The beat
Of the heart
Of the Earth saying
Look
Saying
I want
To feel
The naked soles
Of your feet walking
My skin again

You explain look-
Time changes...
Of course you
Both smile knowing
haha, does it
Fit your hand into hers
into his
Shake it off
Loose your thick cough and free
Your lungs from steam and dust
You did it
Many times before and will
This time
All the more free yourself and others:
A brother is who sees what is at stake
When needed
Greetings

Inside the Cave
Me Mar 2020
[...] If there were shadows on the walls they would be dancing around what appears to be the most outrageous scenery in this whole liquid universe, the one spot of color which could be seen as color: in the center of the deep water lake, the still and tense water, there sits, like a satisfied child crossed-legged and full of sweets, a pink lotus blossom on a bed of its own green thick rubber leaves. This stunning sight contrasts everything else of what this cave accommodates in an almost exaggerated manner. It is a shrill primal artefact in the purest and most humble surrounding.
The flower is there by itself, unaccompanied by any other blossom or plant, and yet it could not be more at ease with its exact position and situation. The mere sight of it is the most pleasant image - if only due to its convulsing inadequateness.
33 · May 2020
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
