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.

Because
Me and You Mar 2022
You think you throw bombs
and they destroy me
I throw flowers back
you think in your head
everything makes sense
you think I'm too dense
to reflect
I throw flowers back
You think you invaded my home town
you did not
you think your force overthrows me
I throw flowers back.

Wrap me up

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.

Never Even
Me and You Jun 2014
We are even;

A scar for a scar
A heart for a heart
I put yours in a jar
You won t part, love!

A smile for raised eyebrows
A dream for a chat
My blood flows, kid
We ll both feel bad
In the end.

The end for our start
Hold! All systems go
We are not so smart, love
Our hearts won t know
Where to start or to end,

Give me your hand, sweet
Let us go.
I hav no control

Can I Be Both
Me and You Jan 2020
Can I be both
the center and
the ray

the middle
and the outskirts

and is this longing why
it hurts so much

and why you asked me
to expand?

What Eliot Says
Me and You Jun 2015
"His  soul  stretched   tight   across  the  skies
That   fade behind    a   city   block,
Or   trampled   by   insistent    feet
At  four  and  five  and  six  o’clock  ;"
From: BLAST 2, war number, T. S. Eliot, Preludes.

Very very impressive.

Brave love
Does not creep around corners

Brave love looks fear
In its ugly face

Brave lovers
Do not turn around

They walk on
Alongside every
Imagined boundary.

Waves
are crushing down
on me

The tide
is long gone

Houses -
wood -
cows and children
pass by

Your hand reaches out
and hurls me
into the wooden boat that is drifting along.

Oh heavens, how I've missed you !

Nofretete
Me and You Mar 2022
You pick up your pen
nightly
to get off your chest what lies on it
heavy like a stone
and you write
inch by inch
bit by bit
what needs to be written down
of all the horrors your eyes have witnessed
all the beauty that you remember
your hand shakes
pouring ink all over your page
and yet you get all the numbers right
all the names and ancient signs
You pick up your pen again this night
tonight
and you write honouring all ancient women' names
in the soft moonlit room
You put down your pen
out of breath and sweat pearling down your chest
knowing
you wrote
another night
against all odds
for the life of them

Evening thought
Me and You May 2014
Body
feels like

sunny side up.
...and i am not talking about my freakin breakfast kids.
Me and You May 2019
Everything
lights up
everything else
at the same
time

We close our hearts
at first
cause it's so bright

The light is frightening
much more
much more than darkness

Nothing is nameless
anymore
and at the same time
carries the same name

My heart is Yours
and with me
I take your pain as if it was
my own

And You know what, my Love?
And gladly so!
Me and You May 2014
I am a file to waste your time
I have no style
I do not rhyme

I am a poem that makes no sense
I do not know the future tense
nor do I care about it

I am a piece of golden ****
that clings to you like sticky paper
to be remembered later when -
in moments of appropriate silence -
you are the one to burst out laughing
and throwing up your hands with violence

When asked to please explain yourself you smile
cover your eyes to disappear
and see that this -

though silly it may be -

has changed your life.
Laugh now -

You will see.

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 :)

Rage
Me and You May 2019
I woke up
raging
inside fire

that desires to come up
and out

Be loud
be  L O U D
and be allowed to do so

Ah this fire
This is a digital shout. I don't always understand what is going on inside of me, and getting it out like this is always good. Always.

You are not afraid of
a sharp blade
any longer
for you trust the purity
of your intentions
and the heart
that has never failed you
" [...] My heart tells me that Gollum has some part to play in it, for good or evil, before this is over. The pity of Bilbo may rule the fate of many.'"

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

Love
Me and You Dec 2019
You come to me
in felt moments
little shivers
from the future
or what we call it
walk through me
take
my hand and comfort
the brave kid
that waits for us
in the past

We'll do this,
You tell me,
until the loops grow smaller and smaller and
finally merge and we all
meet
in the middle
to smile and share
a cup of tea
and sit in peace
together
What a ride

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...?

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.

A Form of Self-Respect
Me and You Jan 2021
Don’t wash your hands too early, dear
Look
with all you are
with your whole eye
on the battlefield

The bloodstained ground the *****
fights after fights
that occurred

Don't devalue
discredit
belittle
Yourself by disguising
this
Scene

It lies behind you now
Don’t wash your hands
too early
Wait
til you're ready to turn
Your back on it all

True Love
Me and You Apr 2021
Once you do love
your whole self
unconditionally
because you have set out to discover this
you'll
find
everyone who really
truly loves you
in your own heart
love does not know
seperation
This is the gateway to freedom, I peer into it and am it. One foot still on "safe" ground, making sure making sure making..... <3 Come along

True Love is not property. You cannot withhold it, no one can withhold it from you. You don't need to possess it. Because it is you. Happy Easter <3

Loneliness
Me and You Mar 2022
A Tagging on my sleeve
a feeling
like
I cannot put my finger on it
crawls up my legs
into my chest
and rests
I feel lonely. I have friends and something like flatmates, but I still at times feel terribly lonely.

Running wild wild he
now steps freely
own yellow eyes now in use of his own good
wild wild she is now
running freely
between pear trees under
yellow skies
wild wild they run freely
under gaze of Moon and Jupiter and Mars
wild spots in blue oceans
on a canvas of stars

in your heart and you know
you wait a little longer
