POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
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.

And God wondered
I stand on the balcony and let the winter wind pet my face.
I close my eyes and see how crystal tears run down her snow-white cheeks.
Her eyes like jadestone-green deep crater lakes.
She seeks you, to hold her tight; her body glides in your arms.
You are there. Nowhere else. There for her.
As her head lays on your chest, her beautiful face turned around.
Red fairytale lips speak with out moving.
Your hands take her face and lift it up to yours.
Little silent kisses wander down her cheeks.
Time stops and space vanishes.
As...

I let you go
See; you never wanted it true
I kept on sounding realities ground
Praying I would be wrong - I knew
And now we can't deny what i found.
Loving you hurts me to the bone
To imagine you kissing strangers lips
It quenches my voice and fades my tone
I am drowning when you touch her hips.
I never wanted that you are mine
You are you and i hate birds in a cage
And you never sold me water as wine
So hush now; the world is your stage.
I kept on sounding realities ground
Praying I would be wrong - I knew
And now we can't deny what i found.
Loving you hurts me to the bone
To imagine you kissing strangers lips

I never wanted that you are mine

And you never sold me water as wine
So hush now; the world is your stage.

grain of sand
Here I am; nothing in my hand
The sky the volcanos the sea
All what is left is a grain of sand
No bird no dolphin not a single tree
Where I was; our hearts were burning
You were my sun my stars my moon
Now; an echo of the sound when you were turning
It came to sudden it came to soon
Where I will go; no ground for my tired feet
In my hand the relict of our unassailable fort
I now know what I never believed
Fortune is foul and love lives short
The sky the volcanos the sea
All what is left is a grain of sand
No bird no dolphin not a single tree
Where I was; our hearts were burning
You were my sun my stars my moon
Now; an echo of the sound when you were turning
It came to sudden it came to soon
Where I will go; no ground for my tired feet
In my hand the relict of our unassailable fort
I now know what I never believed
Fortune is foul and love lives short

Seeking Peace
As your strong arms try to hold me
I glide in the black cold water
As you voice begs me to hold fast
I feel the depth longing for me
As your tears blend with the waves
I form a freezing smile
As your eyes ask so desperately why
I can only answer I have to
As your heart breaks
I fill my lungs with peace
As you let me go
I find it
As you walk away from shore
You find peace too
I glide in the black cold water
As you voice begs me to hold fast
I feel the depth longing for me
As your tears blend with the waves
I form a freezing smile
As your eyes ask so desperately why
I can only answer I have to
As your heart breaks
I fill my lungs with peace
As you let me go
I find it
As you walk away from shore
You find peace too

ivory kiss
Mist embraced the clearing in the forest of the forgotten
Fires like wardens around the darkgreen pond
The cold of the night creeps along the old bushes up up the bony branches
Birds songs from outside quenched by the tears soaked moss
Damp silence fills the space between the old trees
A shimmer a glitter in the water
Like the rays of sun your hair
Floating with the rhythm of my tears
Your ivory skin reflecting the moon light
The clearing glows like our souls did once
Because of me you joined the water fairies
Because I...
Fires like wardens around the darkgreen pond

nothing
Nowhere to go
Came from I don't know where
Nothing left nothing to come
Nothing in my hands
No beginning nothing ends
Nothing left nothing to come
No one with me
All all one my soul tired and sore
No visions no wishes anymore
No space for me in an empty world
Bottomless with a sky too high
No stars to reach no moon to shine
I lost my soul and don't know where
Can't look for it forgot how it was
Nothing left behind
I drift I float all blind
What does it need to stand up again?
What can I do if I can't...
Came from I don't know where

Cognition
Desire for you
crunching grinding my heart to powder
Protective Iceberg
whining weeping louder and louder
Thoughts of loss
skinned sliced and salted my core
Unconscious cognition
Without you I can not live anymore
crunching grinding my heart to powder
Protective Iceberg
whining weeping louder and louder
Thoughts of loss
skinned sliced and salted my core
Unconscious cognition
Without you I can not live anymore

Run with the unicorns
I was the warden of the last flock of unicorns
Watched them day and night
Found the greenest luscious places for them to feed
I sang and told fairytales - all their to fulfil their needs
Glittering manes glowing under the full moons supervision
Their nostrils peacefully taking the clear dark blue air in and out
Thinking about my past I forgot that this story is not meant for unicorn ears
And I sang about you
About our love which never had a chance.
About the pain which has became a constant companion.
About the longing that eats...

The RED Ribbon
Walking down a wet crowded street
Despite all these people there was no one to meet
Down to my feet I saw somthing fragile and alone
A muddy grey ribbon sticked to a stone
I dipped it in the beer i was drinking
Trying to wash away all the dirt
Like a jellyfish, it was not sinking
I got the feeling someone got hurt
Slowly retrieving its colour again
The ribbon wispers its unfullfilled secret past
Just sadness - no bitter complaint
When dreams vanish and hope becomes past
It was a part of beautiful red satin dress

Snow white was different
Yes, her hair was black, her skin white and her lips red
Yet the hair was colored, the face pale since tired and wine stained lips
She wasn’t the beautiful princess
She wasn’t kind and every once darling
She wasn’t send away
She left the castle in free will
It weren’t seven nice busy little guys
It was people giving her what she asked for: pain, indignity and tears
Poison
It wasn’t the stepmothers comb
It was needles
Constrict
It wasn’t the stepmothers belt
It was self-imposed hunger
Deadly bite

Dream of a vision about a plan
A plan is made by thinking and might result in a product.
A vision is the result of beliving and might change the world.
A dream is born by longings and might turn into a plan or a vision.
A vision is the result of beliving and might change the world.
A dream is born by longings and might turn into a plan or a vision.
