Your sinful mouth is my tomb, intoxicating its sweet bloom, for all my virtues are put to sleep. I drink uncontrollably from its well and sink freely into its depths, gazing blissfully into hell. My hot flesh glows in his breath, I tremble, like a spring rosebush kissed by warm May rain. - I follow you into the wild land of sin and pick fire lilies by the roads, - even if I can’t find home again…

'Sinnenrausch' by Else Lasker-Schüler (Translation)
He was a man of many ideas He brightened up even those in their darkest of times By shining his whimsical offtimes and sometimes "outrageous ideas" Now that he is gone, the "out" in the word describing his ideas Now seem "in" and "new seas" To try and sail partial paths of some of his intellectual "ideas" To honor a "never ending" flame By not allowing society's air blowing To put my life's flame out. In utter disbelief that he is now gone. I know he is up above me and watching me. "To see if I can make it?!" I shout "That I can. For your honor, even more!" I'll achieve my successes and let go of my crazy doubts. "If you can make it this far, I shall go even further." In your honor, my friend and spiritual brother, "to  victory and to the beyond" "Thank you for entering my world...." For one never sees another's true beauty until they pass. Not this student. All along, I have been the one who listened in class.
