Men seek to test their metal,
heading for the sea, exploring
experience's distant depths,
plunder from the sea.

Different dangers from onshore.
Diffferent challenges. Naked
and adaptable, learning
ruthless lessons, chancing the main.
'the main' - theopen sea

it was a crime
she loved, another woman's man.

she stared all day out of the window, to see them take a stroll
she saw him with another woman, and couldn't learn to control
her heart was stabbed a hundred times but a smile ran across her face
he would look at her inside the window but could never make a guess.

she cried out loud and cried out deep, and all she could do was to weep
and neither could she stay awake, nor could she ever sleep.

his woman was filled with disregard, disrespect and despise
and it would as well be hard for him but thought that won't be wise
she cut his name on her heart, her body, and her soul
she made sure he would never know the pain she had to hold
he told her to let it go and look for a new start
but she had known that only he would always rule her heart.

she prayed for him and looked away with only him in mind
what once took them years to put in place, did so easily unwind.

she burns herself in agony,
in love and in shame
she knows it well, he would listen someday
but she will never tell.

she loves him wild and loves him mad, like a wounded bird ever can
but all she will do is stare at him, he is, another woman's man.

Dear Soulmate,

Today is Valentines day. Our first one apart. I guess forever didn’t last so long... Normally I would write you personally, but you see my love, Valentines day is for lovers, not the memory of them or even love, that is still in the cage of my heart. On this special day you have someone new to celebrate with – I bet she is a very lovely girl.
Our time has finished and I accepted it. But I have to be honest too. That’s why I write this letter. The letter I will never send you, because I want you to be happy, even if it’s with her, not me.
Anyway, on Valentines day and yesterday, maybe tomorrow, maybe in a year – I want to tell you – I love you. As simple as it. You were my first love, the one you never forget.
I hope one day we will finally be on the same stage of our relationship – as a couple or just as friends. Because before you loved me too much, while now I have to accept you in someone else arms.

You were my cure
But I was the poison streaming through your veins
You were the pages I could write all of my darkest secrets
I was the cigarette that burned your lungs
You were my canvas I could paint on
But I was the tools you used to carve all fo your pain away

another poem came straight into my mind
with it majestic flight
with a mind of its own
my fingers write everything down that i know
awareness of my thoughts
that is what i should have
but they are far to fast
