Now I don’t know what to do anymo'.
I am deep below my own trench,
and still falling into the deep, dark below.

Will I ever hit the bottom?
The point where there’s no further down—
only up? I know I feel like a clown.

But still,

No more confusion.
No more sadness.
Only hope and happiness, I guess.
Peace of mind.
With all the past behind.

I feel lost. I don't feel like me.
I feel like I’m falling.
I feel empty inside me.

- THE END -

A poem from the heart of the fall—when you're too deep to see the surface, but still quietly holding out for light. Written from a place of despair, and maybe… the start of healing.

The wind blows as I sigh in a pained breath
Watching the moon brood as I sink into its alluring strength
So pretty, the pale moon contrasts with the sky
a light like a satellite, slice it in half like a knife
Shining through it all was my smile
shimmering in the summer weather, observing the scene in front of my eyes

Leaves from a dropping tree hide most of the existence
The swing of the past gravitates in a motion of the present
Shadows dance like a ritual
bringing back the captures
trusting the lore
Darkness fills the orbs
spells of the shores
mingle into my thoughts
swayed me away
to the mediocre array

Never would the willow eye be open
Never would the cracking hearts be broken
nausea of a sick addiction
choked, cardiac, into a numbing pain
Kind words for a mouth of thee
left nothing of purpose in those minds of machines

Let the pain go
Watch the stars above
nothing's there to hold
nothing's there to guide anymore
The digital clouds the beauty
Now left a hellish lot of duties
Why did you take away the only sunny ray of stars from the midnight
forever in misery like a lost traveller in the forest's nights

no guide
no light
weeping to the moon, who will never forget
Therefore, it's too young today
just like you were once
When the stars were still aligned
Except, when were you really young?
A question, a few healers solemn
Why is my mind doing this
Bringing up the past
Thoughts of
You're not getting bored
Are you?
I'm not too much
Am I?
Sorry
I just worry
You're just gorgeous
In my eyes
The only beauty
I crave
To have around
I keep thinking about you
Only to instantly dismiss it
I fear falling for you
I don't wish to get to that point
The point where I fear
Losing you
I don't know
At this point
I feel that
I just want you
To claim me
Make Me Yours...

cast a shadow here
set the scene, light spot! over here!
place this one about twenty yards away…
…background
and now slowly... too fast!
towards us head on... cut!
we forgot the bouquet of gerberas for her
have her hold them at a slight angle in front of her with a self-satisfied attitude… or something
wait now
ladybird... what was it again?
“snowflakes”?
“conflict moon and sun”?
“a rotating mirror”?
what is that supposed to mean?
what was I thinking?
where do these belong?
in which place? to what purpose?
what am I doing here? what are you doing here?
where did you come from, why are y‘all standing still now? stop the staring, at least don‘t forget blinking! creeps!
the pile of props is leaning more and more
starved, curiously waiting for an instruction
there it is, no fear!
however the vision...
must have seemingly gone lost on the way here
… it‘ll find you again. promise.

Lost in darkness in my life, in his eyes I found my light
When everything is wrong, he makes it right.

   "Whatever?
    Whenever?
    Wherever?
    Forever"


She­ said

   "Never"
Guess her name

Happy or sad,
You play the character,
Until you're completely dead.
Ponder on it,
Live your life around it.

The courage to speak of it
Doesn't come from a beautiful place.
Yet you stayed inside that
Uncomfortable dress.

You think of her the whole day,
Still, you choose the mask
When she appears in your way.

How sad it is—
You often cross her path,
Yet never look at her face.
Instead, you focus only
On her shoelaces.
Still, your character smiles
Through this pitiful day.

Lies and lies you say—
What good has your character
Done till this day?
“He never desires everything,
He never asks for anything.”
His wishes remain unwritten,
Yet his prayers are often heard.

I sip on a drink
My demise firmly in hand
Desperate to not think
But my demons stay on-brand

lost in a dream
the sandman spins his tales
weaving wishes, vivid yet fleeting
so simple and yet.....

shuffling through motions
to pick myself up
grasping for the sun, wind, life
[warm cold alive]

a deep breathe
a waking sigh

farewell, my king of dreams
