Fill the Silence
Me Mar 2020
This is
a new kind of
silence that
asks you to fill it
this time with
YOUR true
wishes

This kind of silence does not
tolerate the neon light

This kind
of silence
was waiting
for your gaze

don't be afraid
The Sound of Silence 2.0, or rather, consciously perceived :)

Allowing

Jumping in and
out of

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.

It will tare you to pieces regularly, it will take ages on one day and and seconds on another day, it will boldly and mercilessly confront you with layer after layer after layer of
Thick
Fear and then
That which lies beneath this fear, with all the shame in the world of touching nice things, with a heavy leaden guilt that has been hiding so well you barely recognise it, with a sadness so untouched and so exposed you barely dare to induce something else into it, with a
Fire
That scares you to the bone and at first catapults you into running, again, in awe and total, unspeakable - and unspoken -  horror.
All these bits are from a short story, from, I don't really know what it will be, to be honest.

The Tale of Your Eyes
Me Feb 2021
[...]
And are you are you gonna
come
Home this time are you gonna speak
it all out the way the words are there now
are you
spilling over and are you
letting go of this age old story and
release
it to be exactly that now
A story
that you may not even want to revive for your children because the
fear
that they have to know they need to know because what if
is now
gone for good
replaced
by this massive
thing which
and it takes a while to accept
a while to
sink in and realize

is  L i f e  itself
Life that always supports
always holds ground
and never fails you
Life that
comes up with the sun and the grass and the sea
and everything else
right in front of your face
never ever pulls away from you in truth
This
is Life and this is
the only story
worth passing on

Within you there is a new kind of earth
being formed
with a new clear fresh
sea
although it is not other
A sea you dare set sail on
now
and share
and the sound of the waves crashing on the sandy shore makes
your eyes water
your heart almost
explode
of joy
Can you see it
See it
You exhale
slowly
your hair ruffled by the warm wind
What a journey
you think
What a long journey to get back here
and find everything
even more beautiful than when I have left off

The Shadow / La Sombra
Me Feb 2021
[…] And a huge shadow moves through the core and climbs out of the sea, dripping, two eyes in the middle of the face because he did not know how to make eyes. He climbs out, looking for you. So that you adjust those eyes, and cover them with your palms if need be. A shadow that would vanish in an instant if you’d give the signal.
And will you give it.
Will you.
And do you hear me… you hear me.
[…] Y una sombra enorme se mueve por el núcleo y sale del mar, goteando, dos ojos en medio de la cara porque no sabía hacer ojos. Sale, buscándote. Así que ajusta esos ojos y cúbrelos con tus palmas si es necesario. Una sombra, que se desvanecería en un instante si diera la señal. Pues, vas a dar la señal. Vas a hacerlo. Me escuchas… me escuchas.

You've touched a fountain buried
so deep
it surges
through you
greets
every single cell
transforms you

Me Mar 2020
About halfway through you know, the way is there, but it unfolds from your insides. It is the most intimate path anyone can know, there for only your feet to walk on, and yet connected to every moth, every silky feather, every wanderer on the road. It is yours because you saw it. It spirals out of your own heart, sometimes emerald green and delightful, sometimes pure darkness, horrid images and torn faces, sometimes red and wide and patient.

About the good Things
Me Apr 2020
The good Things...

Do you deserve them - do you not deserve them
It is not even a question; it is an obstacle. Just another boulder to be dissolved;
but slowly, cautiously. Because this
One
Last
Boulder
Has been placed there with fearful force
And by many hands labouring
To block out the things
To have a buffer
Basically
to gain
time
to be able to get
Ready-

Now you know. You can breathe.
No force needed, Love.
Take your time and
Get
Yourself
ready

The Things will be delighted

Spring Inside of You
Me Jul 2019
I'll sneek into
The darkest corners of your rooms
And make 'em brighter
So that you' ll
Have
To
See
Them.

And then
Once seen
They will be nice
And cosy.

And your house won't feel
Like having something strange
Inside its belly
Any longer.

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

I like to picture
the world as a
meadow full of
most colourful flowers
and my heart opens
writing this
and the child in it
jubilates and smiles
at the embarresed faces
who deem this poem
to be too childish
I'd like to
hug you

Surveying the Field
Me Dec 2019
If you're so quick
you'll have to stand and wait
until the snow around you

and other flowers
show their little heads
to keep you

Til then
imagine
and await this
happy moment
It's fine here, come out :)

We Are the Silence

Who dares
disturb

No neon lights

Come take
my hand
disturb the Sound
of Silence
for a bit.

A smile
that forms

on my face
without me

Nobody stared at me for that.

Internal Painter
Me Oct 2020
Your eyes scan
a person's face skin hair
first, and describe
in detail
every property;
your eyes scan
each person
refusing
to stuff them in
a category
for the sake of discourse
I have a friend who's very pale, one whose skin I'd say is light brown, one whose skin is pinkish-pale and freckled... they are not white, they are not black, first, unless they choose to be.

Look left, look right. What is it that is really going on? What is this running about?
You look down to your feet. Where you have stopped, a nest of bluebells has grown out of the pavement and bravely snuggles into the holes of your white sneakers, its friendly and courageous purple almost seems to be greeting you. Only, you don’t hear it yet. The sidewalk has burst open in a kind of slow motion, and the roots of a nearby plane tree have cork-******* out of the concrete to breathe the air. Two ladybugs sit on a fresh cherry blossom, looking up to you.
Now look back, think. What is all the running about?

What a Sight
Me Oct 2020
What a sight;
the big tree bending
his crown towards
the ground just to make sure -
is he still safely rooted
connected
to the earth -
for all this time his trunk
felt irritably numb and so
and so
he couldn't know,
he couldn't
know
Can you empathise?

Helping Hands
Me Apr 2019
Going home
can hurt so much
that you may be obliged to touch
a strangers hand
to make it.

And even if the gap seems wide
and dark
and deep
just be aware that-
very much like me-
in you there lies a brilliant seed
that grows
and shows the stranger
just then that you need
help.
<3 Thank you.

See, my Love
sometimes it really
is not you
who fears the things
inside
Sometimes it's
other people
who do not like to be
reminded
of their own
homemade troubles
and of how much
they press the lid
onto the jar

Of how-
with all the force they have-
the hide their scars
because they think
they need
active protection

whereas
you feel

you want

to stretch out hands
and touch

The paper boat
drifts off and catches
speed again

It's little paper walls

then turns

and in my hands it burns down all the fear and grief
and dries itself just with the fabric of my sleeve

and we walk on.

By the Window
Me Jan 2021
It is dark. Night. The girl opens the window,
looks up to where she knows Orion's belt resides behind the clouds.
She thinks now she understands time.
She thinks she sees time growing out from her heart
in an illuminated spiral, flashing green,
and not ever the other way around.
She imagines the stars looking back, benevolent and still sincere, still there, in the night sky.
Still there now.
And now.
And always.
Time is nothing you have. It is something you are. You cannot run out of it.

It's hard to expect

Next time I 'll just say I feel disrespected and don't leave.
