Ocean

The Foodie One Sep 2021

Ocean

I am floating
in an ocean of
Silence.

Words -
solitary waves
occasionally passing by

Caressing
my skinny mind
ever so gently,

I almost forget
I still
Exist.

Lego Castle

The Foodie One Feb 2022

Lego Castle

I am a
Lego Castle -
this Me, standing tall
for Everyone to see -
Is an Us

I’m made of
a million
of different pieces -
tiny colorful ones,
each different and unique

I was born One
and became Many
as years passed by;
Every new little piece
I made contact with,
changed me -

I haven’t lost myself,
I just
Grew;
And every time
I meet a new part,
It makes me a little more

Play Pretend

The Foodie One Jan 2022

Play Pretend

I'm a Mountain
I'm a Rock -
I am Everything
That I'm Not

Ain't it funny,
this little show
Of Play Pretend
what You are Not?

Yet

The Foodie One Apr 2020

Yet

His hands around my neck
Me, trying to catch my breath -
I haven't found it, yet.

In the darkest
and saddest
of Times,
It’s the tiniest
Spark of Beauty
that - still - keeps me
Alive.

Travel

The Foodie One Feb 2022

Travel

There’s a heaviness
lingering
upon my shoulders

I sit and try
to regain
my vigor

Just to find
my eyes
are slowly closing

Maybe I can stay
and rest a little
longer?

Glacier

The Foodie One Mar 2022

Glacier

I am Frozen
- Still -
in Space

Trapped between
solid Waters
and biting Winds,

All I ever
wished for
were some Wings.

I am, but -

The Foodie One Dec 2021

I am, but -

I am nothing
but
A body;

some Thing that
struggles and strives -
Keeps pushing

Through the darkness
and shadows of
Life.

Lost

The Foodie One Apr 2020

Lost

I am lost
in the breeze
of endless evenings -

Your laugh,
the playful gurgle
of singing ponds.

Shell

The Foodie One May 2020

Shell

I feel entrapped
in this shell
wrapping me around

It covers
- envelops -
every part of me;

But, inside
I still
Shiver.

Arms

Arms

Her Arms are the Castle
which keeps me from every hassle;
I'd stay there all day long -
no one to do me wrong.

Miracle

The Foodie One Apr 2020

Miracle

You were
my Sin
And my
Redemption -

All
at once.

Was it
a Miracle?

That, I still question.

- unholy pleasure -

Why I love You

The Foodie One Apr 2020

Why I love You

I love You because
you're like
Poetry to me -

filling up my lungs
with fresh, thin breeze;

I love You because
you make my Heart
skip a beat -

for it can't take
this drumming - crazy -
that's growing inside of me.

Fall

The Foodie One Apr 2020

Fall

I'm
falling from the World
like
falling from a tree -

Crashing
on the ground,
But still
on my feet.

Roots

The Foodie One May 2020

Roots

I've got
no Roots -

They've been ripped
Off
of me;

my Being,
a wandering Soul
sailing across
Seas of Desolation.

Strange

The Foodie One Apr 2020

Strange

Such strange creatures
we are -
Flesh and Bones
and Pain - and Ambitions -

From inside Desire
urges Itself forward -
Traps and enslaves
every Will in its chains.

Lullaby

The Foodie One Apr 2020

Lullaby

Sometimes
I feel so much,
that it’s almost
too much;

Enough
to lose control.

And when I do,
I numb it all -
Don’t wanna hear
the shattering
sound of my Soul;

“Dear, don’t give up
Just
give in
to the embracing Waves
that shake you within;

Let ‘em rock you
gently to sleep -
May the Ocean fill
the Void
you carry within”

Such sweet melody
whispers the Sea -

Its wise guidance,
a soothing Lullaby
I now cherish
inside of me.

To Love Somebody

The Foodie One Apr 2020

To Love Somebody

Leaving you
was
heart-breaking,
soul-breaking -
Everything-breaking.

But in the end,
I’m happy
I got to love you;

You got it, too:
to love somebody -
doesn’t fade from view.

My Dear

The Foodie One Apr 2020

My Dear

I loved You so much,
You would never imagine
What it felt for my Heart
to give You up - It’s still crashing;

I remember and I drown
in your dark eyes
’cause I found
I Still love You, my Dear -

What remains
can’t disappear.

What am I?
I do not know;
This thing inside
is beating, though.

She is

The Foodie One Apr 2020

She is

Oh, She is
so beautiful to me:
Strong and fierce,
no one could compete

And I can't think
about anything but Her,
So I close my eyes
and hide my mind somewhere.

<<Head in the clouds!>>
they say to me;
But tell me, my friend
Where should I be?

In my Heart
I cannot be free
And in my Soul
Pain and Agony

Only She
can liberate Me:
in her warm embrace
I finally am Complete.

Back to Life

The Foodie One May 2020

Back to Life

You
make me feel like
Putting
the pain aside;
Breaking
the cage I live inside.

Free -
Like a Song;

Like
a Bird
starting to Fly -

A Bird
returning to Life.

Screen

The Foodie One Apr 2020

Screen

My eyes always
wander
from side to side,

Checking for a sign
that tells ‘em to hide

Under a screen
of pretended Lies -
To protect me from
the cruelty of Life.

But, to Lies I prefer
Poetry instead:
warming my heart
with Love once again.

Guess

The Foodie One Apr 2020

Guess

I guessed
it was harder
to Forget

And easier
to Forgive -

I guess
I’m not good
at guessing.

Glad

The Foodie One Apr 2020

Glad

I once was scared
of feeling Emotions -
Thought they would scar me,
leaving only commotion;

But then Poetry filled me
with Joy running
beneath my skin,

And I realized nothing
could ever truly
break me within.

When Poetry came
and warmed me inside,
I was suddenly glad
I was still Alive.

I Want

The Foodie One Apr 2020

I Want

I want to cry,
but this wouldn't do -
For I can't spill
any more tears for You.

Metamorphosis

The Foodie One Apr 2020

Metamorphosis

Through all the creatures
that I have seen,
You are the most
majestic one:

Cheekbones high,
regal nose;
Scarlet lips
that make me cry.

Winter skin
framing dark eyes -
Poisonous daggers
transfixing life;

Yet, on me
that murderous gaze,
was soft and tender -
Vanished the haze

And the devilish grin
of Sin and Fun
turned into a kiss
as warm as sun.

Path

The Foodie One Apr 2020

Path

I do like you
a lot,
but there’s something
I forgot:

The Path
to reach Myself.

I can’t seem
to find
this "I" of mine
Anymore;

The footprints I left
are all blurred
and confused now -
The size of my feet
is useless
anyhow.

Snow is starting
to fall down
Again
and won’t stop
till It covers
everything around -

Till It buries
Me.

Will I let
the soft coat
Embrace Me?

Or will I shake it
Off
of Myself
when Spring comes?

This is still to be
seen;

In the meantime,
I’ll let the Leaves
Fall
for Me.

Revelation

The Foodie One Mar 2020

Revelation

In her words,
back then,
I saw a glimpse
of what We were -
and fell
for it again.

Time passes, mortals die
But Hope -
It will always
Rise.

And as her dark
and puncturing
Eyes
teased my Will
to stare back
High,
I couldn’t find
the strength to
Lie
to Myself
Anymore.

Listen

The Foodie One Apr 2020

Listen

It is frustrating
- almost infuriating -
to never Be
Listened to.

Don't know

The Foodie One Apr 2020

Don't know

I don't know why I feel
this pain right here - it's real;
Just tear my heart apart
and put it back at rest.
