On the couch right next
To me so close that
Our knees touch but far enough
To not kiss.

Coke and tea and coffee
Do not make a perfect
Basis for us getting
More courageous.

But that's ok and even
More - it is quite good.

For ages have I not felt
This comfortable.
Me and You May 2020
East to West

It's not
Either or
But
And

Me and You Apr 2013
this is not a poem
it is a question

what makes you think you're so remarkably
invincible, and chasing rays of light until they die away?

what makes me cling to this
disquieting momentum, this moon-absorbing, hateful creature?

this is not a poem
it is a question

why can i not detect the seconds
of high voltage danger, and why-

why do i pour my heart
out to a stranger?

why

°°°

this used to be a question-

turning to an answer, though, and tapping
at my chamber door, pronouncing

with a clear voice - and with rain-drops bouncing off the window pane -

the word:

because*.
Me and You Dec 2015
Heart full
Of pure love for
People

Let every steeple now
Of every church play
The same melody

And let each ear
Hear what and why and whom
They love

At any time.

Nothing has to take shape
because you want it to
Nothing escapes you
if it likes

Nothing bows not to your
imagination
if it so wishes
Nothing can shake your schedule
upside down

Nothing can take you
by the hand and guide you
to Something you
with your restricted glance
have not anticipated

Nothing
can dance

and become
Everything

Now
Me and You Jan 2020
Now
Meet me
here and now
to take
my hand
with confidence
my Love

Don'tĀ Ā hesitate
to put
both
feet
on our path

and walk

Come lift your gaze
courageously
and look
at the
horizon

Walk on
Look
up
Happy new year
Me and You May 2012
I don’t feel like going
Anywhere
Without knowing
Where you are.

I apologize,
I know how this sounds
How you frown
Because you’ll never hear it.

I know I should tell you -
And in the meantime
We live parallel lives -
Tell you what drives me
To this place
Every day.

Instead we do not move
I say nothing
You are silent
Only the violent, fiery cuts,
Once in a while,
Are proof enough.
Me and You Jan 2021
A woman in orange cloth crosses
a dusty street
cluttered with
dusty fears and believes -
she straightens herself
nods
before she greets
all of them kindly
Me and You Jan 2021
From here you lift your gaze
see
a million silver stars
looking back
looking
ahead
you share their eyes
their hearts unfold
your natural language
everything talks
Happy new year
Me and You May 2020
How you said
whining
You want to go home
How I got it
then
and answered
You can go home soon
How this was
probably
the hardest thing
I ever did
Hospital scenes
Me and You May 2020
He'll follow you nonetheless
in the shadows
so you might as well turn
face him
see how
crooked and helpless
he looks
how he took on the shape
of your enemies
Go over
Love
hug him
embrace
the stuff you have
externalised
Make this poor devil
stop the chasing
I think all the mess started when we created a figure to be responsible for all the **** we never wanted to face. I also think it is time facing it :)
Me and You Jan 2020
My heart is swelling when I think
About all you did for me
Totally selfless
Also
It cries for you
Because I see that you dealt with the horrors
All alone
Not anymore now.
Me and You Apr 2020
I want to erase
Everyone's judgement except
My own
And say that today
It exceptionally
Hurts
To remember
Me and You Feb 2020
We'll grow into
where we
already were-
this time
with all our parts
and with our hearts
wide open
one day... ā¦
Me and You Jan 2020
One good thing before
I close my eyes tonight
A good-
Pleasant warmth
Around my heart
As I see
The ice
Is melting
Me and You Jan 2020
Some places in the world
Seem to be more than
Just of solid flesh and grass
And earth
They pull you into
A tremendous drift
Of living
Memory

If you are brave
If you don't close your eyes
They'll make you see why it is
You
And why
You are not bound to
Time and places
As they look

Why
If you like
You'll greet all spaces
Past and future
Me and You Oct 2012
If clocks slay time
what good is there,
I wonder,
for time to be slain?

In turning heads
in rising hands
in memory of only
a split image, of land that burns-

and all because
of this time-slaying,
blood-shedding mind of yours

and mine.
Me and You Dec 2015
Eigentlich gehƶrt
        Der erste Gedanke,
Wenn ich aufstehe,

Immer dir.
Me and You Oct 2019
Patience,
darling,
don't always look at
tomorrow
with
yesterday's lenses-
cleanse
your view
and leave the window open
so that your head
can feel
the breeze...

Me and You Nov 2020
It feels worthwhile now
Dear
to not fear
open doors and
windows

It feels
worthwhile to let
the

Sun

shine

in

Three bright figures stretch
across the night sky -
a pinpoint delivery
attracting
my restless eye
before I dare go to sleep
Me and You 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!
Me and You May 2014
Titles are caught
By little surprises
That reach out to grip
Their ends by a tip
Of the tounge.
Me and You Jan 2020
Outside the storm moves
things to new
beginnings
and lures me
to finally come
outside
too

Me and You Oct 2020
Something inside is beating louder, louder still. Hands fingers legs toes already spread as wide as possible and tense of knowing. Spread out and connected, less than a beat from-

This creature is just about to send a vigorous beat out - send it outward - crash - everything that it had acquired
everything out, accumulated within the vibrance of
this
beat
in unbending blazing green beams of fast light -
light that goes through - that does not even know any kind of barrier nor reflection - this light does not need to think to plan to manage - this light is send out to be
something so strong there are no words -

You do not need to fear it though. You do not need to fear it.
It is for you. To be where you are, it sings.
It sings, whirrs, with no mercy.

You think of vines of ivy and something else. Of the light,
traveling where ever it likes. Unapologetically.
Me and You May 2020
I cannot
lie
either
Dear
If one thing runs
through my veins:
It's truth
Me and You Apr 2021
Racing mind self left
behind and
momentarily blinded to your truth
let it be there share
if you like and my stomach
twists and clenches
Me and You Jul 2013
I don’t see how -
I don’t see why
There couldn’t be across the sky
A paper plane made of blue print
And floating softly,
Possibly?

No.

But why not?
Look, if heavy things fall down and drown
Within the rivers
And if, again, the earth digests
And fills its own round belly
With that same stuff-

Go on.

Then why not have in light and cloudy air
A paper plane that couldn’t fly
Without your will
And mine?

*After this one last conversation
You left my head and,
Hanging by a threat, I still delight
In this sweet memory
Of the impossible.
Me and You Jul 2019
You run
And run
And run
And yet you tell us not to go away
And keep us close
With less then just a wink
Of the eye.
Has no one ever told you
How messed up this is?
You experienced it yourself. Yet, even more so, no reason to do it to us!
Me and You Nov 2014
What shall I add?

                My heart is wide and big

In coldest times I saw

I may rely
       On my best friends.

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 and You Mar 2020
Imagine a kid
falling and hitting
her knee
and disguising
her pain-
Me and You Feb 2012
Thunder,
And my heart lies under
A pile of rotten gold.

Flash,
I crash the things and bash
The rules that brought me here.

Rain drops,
And I chop off the heads of the problems
And kick them to the edge -
Off, in the whirling bowl
Of elements and flesh.

Forever to be buried
Among the rotten and the dead,
There lie my gorgeous troubles;
The loveless and the judges.
Me and You Mar 2020
Mankind sits
in paralysing
indecision
while earth
and universe
are very clear

Mankind blocks
everything
out of an age-old
fear
blocks
every
message-

until
for now
they have to
hear
Me and You Nov 2020
A merciless clarity rubs
Your white collarbone *****
At your lips
Has your breath hitch before
One final
Twist of your gut
Me and You Dec 2020
An open hand
cannot hold
strings
Unfolded wings
cannot not fly
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.
Me and You Feb 2015
Maybe i am schizophrenic
Maybe i am crazy
Maybe life is something i haven't realized yet
I am on pills
I am not normal

I am beaming at my best friend's wide eyed awe
I shiver of sweetness when my boyfriend grabs the last slice of pizza
I tremble at my niece's grinning face when she has told a lie

What are you?
In which planet do you suspect a hot beating heart?
In yours?
In mine?

Whose heart is whose
Is not the question -
By the way.
Me and You Nov 2014
Can I just slip my hand
under your skirt, my love?

Just really quick?*

Next day he wakes up with a thick
black bleeding eye
and has the answer to that line
between his aching thighs.

Good luck next time.
Me and You Jan 2016
an echo maker stands
at the shore
lifting up his hands

hands

gath'ring up his strength
and with

the full length of his arm

catches
fish.

The field
bare
before you
a tip of your finger
reaches
for a light
touch -
and makes all of it ripple and cause
a huge
ongoing wave of the ocean
Me and You May 2013
How come you turned me into this:

sneaking around corners
childishly peeking through open windows
so as not to be seen
in an unfit state?

walking too fast and breathing
to slow to keep up with my racing heart
in my chest?

talking to myself when nobody looks
and fearing the nooks and crannies
you might be hiding in?

circulating around the same thought
over and over again
and forgetting what brought us here:

all beauty and lightness gone
all that uplifted us both,
done away with and over
and wiped out for now-

and all of this because I-
because I-

am lost for words all the time
and always-
and even in rhymes I won't find a solution
that could possibly put an end
to all this-

or a beginning.
never going to reach the addressee in any case.
Me and You Oct 2014
A tiny little piece of
poetry
to shake your evnin' hour -
♬
To send you just a little bit
of my outrageous brain
tonight.

I am afraid
I overact.

The mirror
Reflecting
Not reflecting
Has become
Your very personal
Point of Transit

As you grew into
Your true Form the scenery
Before your very eyes,
Too,
Changes and turns
Into the live version of what you
Always perceived
As remembering forward.

You are perfect, cause time has always been for you.

Kind of like
Universe saying
(eyes rolling):
What in the world do I have to move
to make you trust

you must-
you must not fear
a single bit
what comes your way;

I throw
a bucket of
nature's best flowers
on you
I send out
my animal helpers
make them
approach and watch
over your steps

and however long it takes
until you trust-
believe-
and wake up with
a radiant clarity that wipes
out all gloomy thoughts
-
I'll stay
and watch
and
hold
your
hand.
Me and You 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

A pilgrimage does not
start on the pages
you may as well walk
around blocks and into
grocery- and coffee shops

As long as you can say
for sure the way came
from your heart
and you did not
let anyone dictate
a starting point for you

everything's well

Have coffee
cigarettes and cake
on your own path
have everything that makes
the aching fear come
out

Take good advice and
money, wisdom, sweets
take all this from your friends but don't make
doubt to be a thing to take on

And maybe you will meet me
on your way
and maybe we will chat or have
a cup
or maybe you'll walk past
and that is fine with me

And at the end maybe
you ll meet
Yourself
shake hands
embrace
and turn around to see
that is was worth it.
Me and You Nov 2019
Glimpses
that nobody
verifies
and ice that's
see-through
though it cracks
slightly
underneath your feet

Breed your
ideas
they are
correct
though
premature

You're doing
fine
Me and You May 2020
If you
Externalize
Your pressure
Dear
It will
For sure
Push back to you
And you will feel
Awkwardly pushed away and not
know
Why
