Poet Introduction
I talk before I think. Talking and writing makes me think. So my words are no truth, they are the blocks I build so I can walk on something. Weird enough, English is not my mother tongue, so I get some distance between feelings, words, and understanding.

The man and his suitecase
Once, there was a man. He traveled life. He had, as many, lots of baggage. Sometimes he left a piece behind or picked up another one. He carried a lot, and it was hard for him and for everyone who watched him on his journey. He passed some lovely and many ugly places. But he kept on traveling, taking care of his luggage. On his way, he learned, that he has the right and the freedom to leave baggage behind. He saw, that he could travel lighter and even pick up new things on his way. He realized all he needed fit in one suitcase. He only kept the most precious items. He picked a book with the...

So many tears
Those currains of tears do not let the rays of sun come in.
And I so so need the warming touch.
Those rivers from my eyes distingish the last glowing inside me.
And thats is all I have left.
This rain in my face is washing away the colours I so need to see.
All those waters are blurring away the shapes I need to hold fast to.
But when I stop crying, what happens than?
Will my face turn into a dolls fasade?
Will I be the same?
Should I wish for it to stop or just let it continue untill there is nothing left.
And I so so need the warming touch.
Those rivers from my eyes distingish the last glowing inside me.
And thats is all I have left.
This rain in my face is washing away the colours I so need to see.
All those waters are blurring away the shapes I need to hold fast to.
But when I stop crying, what happens than?
Will my face turn into a dolls fasade?
Will I be the same?
Should I wish for it to stop or just let it continue untill there is nothing left.

You
You are not there for the once that need you.
You are there for those you need.
You are there for those you need.

The unwanted light
No more I can be your satelite orbiting you.
Can not be your moon that is allowed to come and go as the rules tell him to do.
Can not be the twinkeling star anymore and glow for you when the clouds allow it to see you.
No more I can give you my warming rays when I rise and climb the sky.
Can not give you my beauty when I bath in the horizons blue.
I want to be your inner light and know I will never be.
Wrapped in the fabrics of tears I will wait until you open those curtains or untill they silenced my fire for ever.
Can not be your moon that is allowed to come and go as the rules tell him to do.
Can not be the twinkeling star anymore and glow for you when the clouds allow it to see you.
No more I can give you my warming rays when I rise and climb the sky.
Can not give you my beauty when I bath in the horizons blue.
I want to be your inner light and know I will never be.
Wrapped in the fabrics of tears I will wait until you open those curtains or untill they silenced my fire for ever.

As
As unavoidable as the passage of time
As inevitable as metamorphosis of the moon
As unpreventable as the seasons sequence
As certain as the sun will set each day
As doubtless I will be able to say
My love was true as long as it lasted.
As inevitable as metamorphosis of the moon
As unpreventable as the seasons sequence
As certain as the sun will set each day
As doubtless I will be able to say

Five senses and a curse
Smell the bitter truth
Hear the shadows hunting you
See the picture behind the mirror
Taste the warnings in the sky
Feel the words between the lines
And all together is a curse that feeds on the beauty of the moment.
Hear the shadows hunting you
See the picture behind the mirror
Taste the warnings in the sky
Feel the words between the lines
And all together is a curse that feeds on the beauty of the moment.

To us that leave behind
We are steady we are streight
We accept and understand
We know values and weight
And we know when to end
We are true without masks
We do not break we do not bend
We face and embrace your musts
And we grow stronger each time
We adapt but stay with our identity
We know where we are but we do not whine
We believe in final serendipity
We accept and understand
We know values and weight
And we know when to end
We are true without masks
We do not break we do not bend
We face and embrace your musts
And we grow stronger each time
We adapt but stay with our identity
We know where we are but we do not whine
We believe in final serendipity

The last time
I felt it the moment when the end began
When I made love to you and you were not there
And I told you and I believed I wouldn't care
Your body was mine your soul wasn't neither your heart
And I knew this would be the last time
My dragon in combat for the last fire breath
Until the inevitable leap to our emotion's death
And I squirmed under your empty gaze
Fighting against this pain; I began to
Silence the flames with wine
Breaking slowly will and spine
Trying to curtail the smoldering with smoke
Waiting to finally faint and choke...
When I made love to you and you were not there
And I told you and I believed I wouldn't care
Your body was mine your soul wasn't neither your heart
And I knew this would be the last time
My dragon in combat for the last fire breath
Until the inevitable leap to our emotion's death
And I squirmed under your empty gaze
Fighting against this pain; I began to
Silence the flames with wine
Breaking slowly will and spine
Trying to curtail the smoldering with smoke

we could not be more dislike
You and I can't be more dislike
My breakfast is as heavy as your ego- bike
You float on the surface, but want to be deep
You think are exclusive, but hell dont be cheap
I like to smoke
You drink a coke
-Zero ofcoz, one of these low fat good in bed nice chat take any bet
And believe you can measure a personality by its drinks
You move your porsche in 2-dimensional space
You win every conflict with our pretty face
The dog that you think is cute
Would serve me as doorstops dude
For the price of your fresh smoothie to go
I...

Silent end
Sharing the bed but not the humor
Is it just a cold or a tumor
Make you come but not laugh
Being together and still just a half
Talking and have nothing to say
Constantly thinking yourself away
Forthing the day to come to end
Waiting for breaking but all u do you bend.
Same moon as it always has been
Same shoulders but u can't lean
As time goes but so does the hope
In creeping spiral good-bye-slope
Is it just a cold or a tumor
Make you come but not laugh
Being together and still just a half
Talking and have nothing to say
Constantly thinking yourself away
Forthing the day to come to end
Waiting for breaking but all u do you bend.
Same moon as it always has been
Same shoulders but u can't lean
As time goes but so does the hope
In creeping spiral good-bye-slope

she wanted too much
get me the moon she said; and he did
get me the stars and planets and he did
get me the sunrise she said and he did
All that was left was the dawn and they could hardly see each other.
get me the stars and planets and he did

Little seed of happiness
Cold winter wind make my eyes closed
I open my palms and let you go little
Seed of happiness; fly and thrive else where.
Fly to a place of your choice and rest.
Maybe stay and grow or travel further to the next horizon.
My hands were not the right place for you
My tears were to salty
My breath too cold
My shadows took the light you needed
Go little seed go and grow
I close my eyes and when you take off in the air - you take a piece of my heart with you.
Feed on that untill you find your bed.
I kiss a shell of protection on you to stay...
I open my palms and let you go little
Seed of happiness; fly and thrive else where.
Fly to a place of your choice and rest.
Maybe stay and grow or travel further to the next horizon.
My hands were not the right place for you
My tears were to salty
My breath too cold
My shadows took the light you needed
Go little seed go and grow
I close my eyes and when you take off in the air - you take a piece of my heart with you.
Feed on that untill you find your bed.
