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.
Me and You Mar 2020
Trust
evokes trust
evokes trust evokes...

El viento te toca
Tu corazón se inflama
con un exhala de miedo
y alegria,
quando las calles, de nuevo,
se llenan de gente
jugando
Me and You 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 and You Mar 2022
A poem without words with nothing that
hurts
your fragile skin
a poem that connects what
within
still beats for peace and freedom
A poem dedicated to all those who must flee from their own homes.
Me and You Jul 2019
How all colours
Merge
And we can see
A rainbow
Connecting sky
And earth.
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
Me and You Feb 2021
Your stomach wakes you with a shocking
twist you just
docked on to the borders
of that encoded
hurtful spell
a wall of shame
protects
your innermost core
Painful. What to do? I guess work through it... <3
Me and You 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
Me and You 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 and You Jul 2013
And from the afterlife of death
derives this soft, sweet note:

Dear children of the planet,
spend your time wisely
but please do  cope with me as though you liked
what you are soon to see;

I am , alas, a sentient creature,
comical this might sound,
and under all my darkened features
you find a sentient heart.

Who* then, you might now ask, did take you
on the final trip?

I tell you this:
There is no journey from your land onto the other side
that I do not accopany;
but mark, although this might seem strange to you,
indeed I can see now how your eyes wide -
the crucial clue to the whole matter is:

What you now think is only for me true
and apt, is also what all of you do,
once crossed the line between your world,
and this.

Just like I am a Shadow in your mind
so are you of identic kind,
in mine.

*This note was naturally burnt immediately
after the churches of the world had spent
three days and nights
oppressing all upcoming fights
and riot deeds;

But what oppression needs
is more than that:

for this was not the only note, death's single letter,
no!

After three days and nights,
horizons were invaded with birght shining papers
with those same words
enough to read under all lights
next all bed sides of pairs of eyes
that feed on sentient words
from equal sentient beings.
Me and You Aug 2019
In your hand
a purple blossom
grows and
opens
and reveals
the sleeping
peaceful
Universe
and how it sighs
and curls up in
your warmth
and how you blew onto
its tiny face
to wake it up
and play-
Me and You Apr 2019
He dwells
and sits just at the shore
and frowns
at his own image.

A pilgrimage he has experienced;
a journey, sometimes with, sometimes without good friends

And off all fences and all walls he jumps
and always will.
Though dark his skin and dark his eye

his name shines just a thousand times
for that.
I believe he is actually a really nice guy.
Me and You Jul 2019
And YES
my forehead feels
as if
about to break
open

and Yes it sometimes
freaks me out

and then
it stops-

Now, tell me Love
I guess I am allowed
to be
******* afraid
at times

To run
if only for a while
and NOT face ****
that's thrown at me
as side effect

as all that catches up
on this ferocious drift-
Me and You Apr 2019
A purple path
unfolds
beneath my feet
and in the heat of my emotions
before I couldn't see it

a mother ghost
leads me
and leads me warm
this time

I find that
in this little time
I really made progress

confess, my love,
that you made progress, too.
Me and You Mar 2012
He is the one they told me about:
Iron fist, black head, no wings
Only strings
Which he ties around your feet -
If you try
If you try to creep
Out of his reach.

He is the high blurred figure
And the dark man
Beside the grave
He is the grave digger, love.

But also,
He is you
As your face turns
As your eye burns
In the dim light.

Realising -
They have told a lie -
Don't cry.
Me and You 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
Me and You Aug 2019
Me
One of the
Truest things
I ever said was

that I love human beings
and back then I
did not think
while saying
that
at all -

In a small part of my
mind
I might have already
understood it
back then.

One foot in sea one
on shore
you
secured
your Being
down to the
roots
of the roots
and up -

out from your core

While on the way he frowned saying
crap
I forgot my
paperback we'll go
fetch it

Not a problem,
she said, we're not in
any hurry
things don't change
that quick
Me and You Jan 2021
You sit by the forest and weep
a deep
deep
feeling
of loss

a world
turning inside out
for the first time
in your life


                                                              ­          You sit by the river and cry
                                    untying all knots with shaking, coop'rative hands
                                                           ­                                  a dance of your
                                                                ­                             true molecules


                                                     ­

Rushing by
in dust clouds of
red and white he
touches
your shoulder
and you begin
to follow
oddly innocent
Me and You Mar 2021
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.'"
- Gandalf's words, J. R. R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

What is it that lies
at the core of humanity
Me and You Mar 2012
I am the body
of a poem
that stops

when you drop
the paper

I am not sound
when your lips
quit performing

when your fingertips
start to touch
my inky lips

then am I truly alive.
Me and You Jul 2014
If fear be you,
Then I will flung my arms wide open
As to embrace the coming pain.

I raise my arms and hands
To catch the lightning strike
That reaches out and makes
No single warning sound.

I lift my gaze up to the clouds
And wish for rain,
And from your cold breath spills
Colder disdain.

If in my body warmth arises,
I will disguise each single sign
So that your ice caps will not melt;
Not now, nor at another time in space.

I will be jerking off in silence
Not to offend your violent glance;
Undress I will exclusively behind
The shadow in the darkest shady place.

I promise this, my love -
Excuse the word:

As long as we shall live
I will remain a solid ground
I will not give up hope;

I be there for your feet to treat on,
For eyes to pierce and burn my flesh;

I be your scapegoat
In good times and sorrow,
And I’ll be still here if
Tomorrow spears are thrown
At your cold face.

Remember this, though:

That you are nothing but my muse
Here to abuse for any purpose;
And that my work grows on your back -

If you excuse again my honesty -

And that, at last, your vicious icy soul belongs
To no one but to me,
Agreed or not.
...urgh - I am scared of my own writing!

Is that a problem???
Me and You Feb 2021
Orion still
hunting the
Pleiades still
gracing
the night sky and Sirius -
ablaze with light -
still witness
to all this
while you
see everything
for the first time
and I am glad
you see it
"The moon and the Pleiades have set,
it is midnight,
and the time is passing,
but I sleep alone."

This is the Midnight Poem, an ancient fragment of poetry, author unknown.
I come across it while thinking about the Alhambra, the court with the lion fountain... a poem in the wall... and then the poem mentions the Pleiades... and then I look out of my bedroom window and see it. Speechless.
Me and You Sep 2013
So what if I don't like a poem
and say so?

So what if I don't like people to rhyme
to bridge two edgy lines?

Why, if this rhymes then it is just
due to my humble arrogance -

my love of irony -

and if you like,
just if you really want,

then be my guest and shake yourself
free from those lines
(from all those lines in fact)

and smile,
and now: forget about the rest.
Me and You Nov 2020
There's a woman sitting
on a chair in the garden thinking
is that all right are things
really going
alright thinking
there's a boy squatting
in the grass in the backyard not kicking
the football thinking
is this all going well is it
okay that way thinking
there's a girl looking
at the corn flower not moving thinking
is everything really how it should be are things
going how they should thinking
there's an old man pausing on his  daily walk squinting
into the last rays of sunlight thinking well if this is
alright and fine thinking
     there's a baby popping out of
a mother
not thinking already
loving all that offers
itself in this place already sensing
this is going to be
a hell of an adventure sensing
     somewhere an old man
suddenly feels
an impulse to keep
walking
A boy slaps his own thighs gets up howls
into the evening light kicking
a ball a woman letting out
a breath she was holding lifting
her can to water
the flowers a girl
sets herself back
into motion
a smile on the face somewhere
in space a green planet
has gained new
confidence
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.
Me and You Jan 2021
A house
not as empty
as you may think it is
I'd fill it
with a sun and moon
and stars if you wish

But first
you
come in here
Me and You Apr 2016
Body
NoT funny-

See, this poem will be CHAOS;

Sliding along in front of my
eyes
a shiny cabinet of dusty and non dusty Polaroids
like you used to Show me
like your photo art and huge light
in the cellar

move me now
they do

the cabinet opend and my veins fill with the blood of my
childhood
pulse paces up
mum calls from upstairs to stop reading practice and come up
Food gonna get cold

next slide
pacing through the cold autumn forest and behind me a huge
deer
but I am not scared because we know him
we seen him many many times before in autums here in the wild park

cklick
you in your motorbike Fashion and helmet that used to scare me
make me cry because I cannot see your face
and the other Polaroid where you wear the full gear in front of
your motorbike

click
Flash - Flash - Flash
move you up the bed
up
up
I help you; you cannot do it anymore, not always
says mum, not a good day, she saiys
she lying?

click
you and me and my childhood friend in the local Swimming pool
and you unashamed bottom turned to everyone
pulling up your Swimming Pants

click
Flash-flash
you turn and Keep turning
not seeming to know where your room is
your room and your bed and thus the place you spend
most of your days and hours now

crack
goes my heart
crack

the next Polaroid is one
where I did not exist yet

where you and mum slide down the map of
Southern France, maybe Provence, in your White Reno? Or Alfa Romeo? Or any other
car you had back then.

And now;
crack - crack - crack
goes my heart
and yours and maybe our family's heart

But I will Keep you in
and I will hold you up and if I ******* have to pull off
your shoes again then I might as well, dear, I might as well
do it.
I hope this is gonna help, like, so as to get it off my chest. Please let it help.
I love you.

How a box
bursts open
and out comes
everything
that troubled you
into the light
and you can see
it really has
no power over you
at all
Me and You May 2014
In the middle there is a black stone
With white lines written on it:

This will give you a new name
And new hope.

And as the pretty sound of these words fades, i hear a new sound.

It is the bright laughter of two children in rhe rain -

And the light begins to shine infinitely
Me and You Apr 2019
There are two ways to Life,
the way of Nature
and the way of Grace.

   Place your head in my hands
and I'll see that
we don't have to choose.
Me and You Nov 2019
We made
a board game
together
today
from scratch
and called it
on the Rainbow Cloud
and were-
I think you just like me-
extraordinarily
proud of
ourselves
Well done, Sweetie! ♡
Me and You Apr 2020
I like it much more when you
Are naked and not
Caring about it

You sit
among
a crowd of strangers
Admit you like
their unasked
Presence
Unasked, unmasked... 😘

She speaks
truth
only
and feels
the immense
resistance and
defence
the guarding
of locked-up things
that call her
over the heads of
the defender
okay so
not the time yet

she has to repeat
to herself and the things
not the time
yet

...
Me and You May 2014
true poetry is of such nature
that every
single
letter
hurts

blood has to spill
from tongue
and lips

it grips you
by the nerves
hits
you
so
hard

that any other thing will  be
just something else.
Raise your glasses, my poetry friends.
Here's to infinite needlessness!
Me and You Jan 2021
They whisper about the new King and how
he is a bit odd
in several many things
and different

Their heads bow
nevertheless
to address this man
who does not know how
to suppress a stare
to swallow down
any feeling to ban
all signs of insecurity
from his face

They kneel just once
before they are pulled up
in an awkward ****
a strong
slightly shaking arm
commanding them upward
level with an open face
in awe of
what had just happened

A wordless command
You will never be Bystanders
ever again

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

Slowly, very slowly, the child stops fighting, starts to lay down shield and sword and crawls out of its dark corner, shifts towards the light [...]

a fish flies
through the night air
hardly remembering
he was not born
a bird

a word swims
through the ocean
almost remembering
its destination

a grim old man
feels his heart turn soft
and decides to go
with it for once
Me and You Mar 2021
It's frightening so
so frightening to be
open and bare and the mask
fluttering in the
air beside me
a moment from
floating away
Me and You Mar 2020
The moon has shown its crescent form; pale but warm light through milky clouds in the night sky. It felt crisp, and yet like soft touch. The moon beams at you, and your heart jumps at its kind expression.

nothing to say
I sit
in the dark place with my back split
open.

But no time
believe me darling
and the wounds will heal.
No inernet at home, nothing in the kitchen, people I don t want to be with... and thus: this night time escape
Me and You Feb 2012
In the twilight
I feel safe
For this is the only place
Where we can shift

Between two lands.

A sharp knife in
her hands she separates
that which does not belong-
which rejects
integration

She highlights-
like the lines pointing
towards emergency-
the puffy artificial stuff

the rough parts-
those that give you a
real headache trauma

all drama, all that sticks
to you and makes you
heavy-

drop it now
go on
be ready to
explode
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
