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
Me Mar 2020
You are not Other
than me but
utterly and
totally free to feel
special
nevertheless
No need
really
to stress Yourself
into the distance
Come on, people...

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

Outside the Storm
Me Jan 2020
Outside the storm moves
things to new
beginnings
and lures me
to finally come
outside
too

Epic
Me May 2020
Eve
Full of renewed
Confidence
Gets up and climbs
Over the garden fence
Me Jul 2020
On a bright sunny morning
Up in a field of chance
An orange-hooded creature shows
A vivid dance on a
White mountain top
Encircled in a cloud
Of greenish surging fog
Ad hoc thoughts
Throb through
Veins and arteries
And nothing there that might
Disturb the scenery
Dance!

What is Pain
Me Mar 2020
Pain
To me
Is Love
Returning

Soothing
Me Apr 2020
Now, now
calm down
Love why
should you be
the only one
doing everything
perfect
and
in time
Easy... one step at a time, I say to myself.

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.

The Heart of Hearts
Me Jul 2020
Inside of you sits
a beating heart
that patiently waits til it feels
safe to take you
right through the core and out again
all the time
reminding you
with every subtle beat
of all the other
beating hearts
all of them
beginning to remember
how well they knew
each other
always
to Jamadhi Verse; thank you for inspiring me to write this  :)

In Love again

Black and White
Silently
Caressing each other
Like shy lovers
At dawn

Take Space
Me Apr 2020
Take
so much
space
and then
take more
to grow
spread
all
your
parts
no need
to fear
the outcome

Perfection
Me Mar 2020
Sunshine. A small Spanish town in the mountains. Coffee. A table with three old men gambling and smoking and laughing. The town square lively with noise and kids' feet trampling and playing. Two women in a friendly conspiracy talk about their men. In the middle, a spot, and everything is right and as it should be. Freedom. And the sound of a spring with birds' song.
Patience.
Me Mar 2020
Through the
heart of the earth
not the mind you can feel
it's a kind act
coming
from motherly decision making
from taking you
into a place of
collaborative
self-responsibility

Simple and true
Me Jun 2020
The sky was
so blue I
remember lying
on my back next
to you
by the beach
And this is the most
simple poem and yet
the most
true
I love you
honey

Poppy Seed Field
Me Jan 2020
I wish
that you
sit in a field
of poppies
and read your
favourite books
and look
once in a while
or more
for me and everyone
and smile

I Tell You What
Me Mar 2020
YOU don't need
anyone to tell you
how to grief
correctly how
to comfort a friend in
need how to
perceive the last deed of the guy in the news
that tore a
hole in you
for no
apparent reason
You don't need me to act
the way you feel
is right and ample
you don't need any bearded guy in any
temple tell you why
you're here
You don't even need to
finish reading
dear
get on with it
go
play the way YOU
like
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

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

Grown - How I Thought
Me Feb 2020
How I thought that
pain has a limit and
how
at some point an
amount of it will be
reached an
enough

How rough words and
hurtful deeds reach
a point where
you tell yourself that
you have nothing
to lose and how
from that point
onwards
it really dawns on you:

Pain has no amount
no limit
no borders or edges
no catch phrase
nothing that
time can erase

Pain
is
and isn't
and once you fully and honestly
let it be
it becomes
the same

It becomes the
other side of
the coin that you
kept and cherished and-
til then-
could't see wholly
and now do

It means you grew,
Dear

The Fool Directs
Me Jun 2020
The fool
directs
every move from
behind the curtains with
most
loving
playful care
one eye
teary
of compassion
the heart bigger
than space
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.
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

Forehead to

The DJ
Me Jan 2020
Take off your clothes along with
your false believes, bank account, infiltrated systems
cough up your wounds and heal them
unwind
leave city, color, job, house and religion
far behind
just for a bit

and look: what do you see?

From here you can
climb from the ashes like a
free bird in the morning sun

Come up with your
completely own cute tale, my Dear
and spin it

You are the world;
move in it

The Heron
Me Mar 2020
Surprisingly
on the tip of
the tallest tree outside
sits a heron
still and looking
for the first time
I see
such a big bird
on this tree
and am glad
to have seen it
I said hi, too.
Me Apr 2020
Oh I don't
swing to your rhythm
old world
are you not
glad I came
to terms with this?
:-* **** it.

A long calm
Wave rolls

And reflects a bit of

Getting there
Who speaks in dreams?

Are naked and not

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 ❦

Ice and Fire
Me Jan 2020
How
like ice and fire
these needles
pierce my flesh
from inside out
and guess what's weird
it does not feel
like doubt or pain
but like
a healing

The Shadow Children
Me Jan 2020
I played with
Your shadow kids
And you didn't even
Realize
I felt them
And you all couldn't even bear
Their presence
I couldn't let go of them for
A long long time

Because they were so
Used to my
Presence

I hope you'll find them
And acknowledge
Their existence

They exist
For your sake
Reclaim them
And give them
A home
To my family's shadows.

Rose Line
Me Aug 2020
It could be like this,
she says, disguising her pride by
raising one thin eyebrow
in what she hopes
is an eloquent manner
giving him the pains of
hiding
best as he can
the loving smile that wanted to pop onto his face
and beam, fully, at her;
It could be
just like this:
and he reads it

Already somewhere
in yet darker corners and still
slightly hidden
sights
some are mumbling
about love returning
about something
utterly
rejuvenating yet
slightly painful
returning
into
a stream of life blood
a stream
making it
for the first time
as it should be


A thunder growling in the distance
but it is not threatening

A beaming smile
now coming through
against all odds
inevitably

A dashed blasted, beaming
most beautiful
smile
28 · Aug 2020
The Dream Land
Me Aug 2020
Somewhere in the prairie
A wolf howls
And it could be anywhere
But it taps you
Right on the shoulder
Belying
Time or
Locality

Love Has No Quantity
Me Mar 2020
I do not play
I-love-you-more-than games
I do not chain
the thing called love
to fear
It is
too dear to me
and thus I let it
roam

The Cave
Me Mar 2020
[...] The silence here is so pure that even the dripping of the stalactites cannot interrupt it or rather, it does not disturb it. The cave is space, it is wide and indescribably dark. The water in it has a certain tension; it is quiet but tense like an animal ready to jump at the lion’s roar and run for its life out of instinct. The water has memory and knows how to be, how to remain and evolve. It is here in this stone-cold silence without imagining ever not to be here, or not to be at all.

Loudness Counts
Me Feb 2020
If you shout
Loud enough
Maybe you'll manage
To distract
Yourself and everyone
Else from the face that
Waits behind
The mask
Oh society...
Me Jan 2020
In moments when I do perceive myself as
Other
Than myself I sometimes am
Truly freaked out about it

Rare
Me Apr 2020
Have you ever heard of
two people that
connect
by mere exchange of
barren fact and leave out all
emotion
Have you?

Do You Know
Me Apr 2020
Do you know how to
make the current rush
from your heart to your
toe and through
til your fingertips

Do you know how the world
likes to play with you

Do you know
all you thought
could be true,
Love

Feathers' Greeting
Me Mar 2020
Everywhere
on my way
I found
fluffy bird feathers
today
and smiled
taking them
as a greeting


:-*
Me Feb 2020
Not distant
but strangely intimate
and familiar

Kind words
a fire that visits
and surprises me then

Something from higher
spaces and yet
down-to-earth

At last I have learnt and
am learning
to fully admire
your workings

The Chaos Game III
Me Jun 2020
You feel like okay my fingers itch twitch like it needs to be written needs to, ah like, squeeze it all out and in between it feels tremendously like
***
And what if
No kid this time no what ifs
This time just running if you feel like it
This time
Just hum like a humming bird not like
A wrecking ball caught between two schedules
You now
Have full control
Of your body parts baby
No dealing with outer fury and
Guilt in order to make them shift
You have
Grown a whole
Incredible lot
Like a mountain on the move
And dealt with
Water whirling in the
Scariest form
No one now
Dare
Touching
Your untouchable parts and if so
Become
A tiger and roar like what not
Roar your guts out have them spill
In front of everyone right on
The coffee table
Does no harm to
Shake 'em up a bit
Once in a while-
Oh what
A lightened smile this casts
Upon your face
What a
Feast of learning
Celebrate
Yourself
My dear
Remember
It is
Chaos
It
Is
Always
Here
For you

The Ship Full of Water
Me Mar 2020
Full of water
now
what formerly consisted
of separate compartments
has merged and
is connected by
the soft flood
that has forced
the cells to
recognise their oneness

To a Poet
Me Mar 2020
And why not value
your writing just as much as you would value
your body
an orange
a cement vase
a jar of honey or
a metal instrument
why not
bend
reality
to your own needs
and wishes
this time
why not
rhyme
your world into
a state of
being
Ahhhhh!
