Don't ever leave me,

if you do so anyway --

I'm not alone, you

always keep me company --


I'm thinking of you.

Old love: smouldering

fire, or a layer of ice --


quickly freezing on?
Novel "De rimpels van Esther Ornstein - De geschiedenis van een verzuim" ("The wrinkles of Esther Ornstein - The history of a neglect", 1959, Simon Vestdijk), chapter 3-1

Collection "Inmost [2]"
Zywa Jan 2022
Skyscrapers collapse
Giant boulders are pebbles
to ice shove, castles
and temples do not stand

under anxious and angry violence
Every fear perishes
by itself, it cannot continue
connecting, and it splits itself

Laws are broken
but not the love
in which we live, free
from the chaos

taking space
for its own convenience
taking more and more world
but not our love
History of Humanity on Earth

"Marmor, Stein und Eisen bricht" ("Marble, stone and iron breaks", 1965, lyrics Günter Loose, sung by Drafi Deutscher)

In each other's eyes,

floating in each other's eyes --


floating together.
Collection "The Big Secret"

So much wanting to

be together all day: love --


Its start and its end.

I'm nowhere really

alone as myself: always –


he's awaiting me.

Love is pliable,

you cannot build with it, but –


you can build on it.

Darling, don't keep dreaming
of the Madonna I don't want to be?
Why

do you put me high
in heaven, just for you
and the children, too good

for others, maybe
for you too, you hesitate
every day to be with me

You'd rather attribute all kinds
of things you ever saw, to me
and you mess up my name

to the beat of your heart
a wanderer's drum
who secretly married me

Was that the real reason, your wish
to leave your doings
as they were?
Sara Lownds (Shirley Noznisky) and Bob Dylan, early 1966

Collection “Bruises"
Zywa May 2020
Don't come closer, don't
talk about all kinds of things
I love you

If you agree, please
let my hands speak
I love you

Questions are just thoughts
your body does know better
I love you

You can't prove love
though there is proof enough
I love you

My love is always there

but not always
available, yet
then there is yours
