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.

Just dry enough to be able to see
Destiny?
Is something we can not change.
Luck?
Is something we can not rely on.
Love?
Is something we have to live.
Sorrow?
Is always a part.
Fear?
A common compagnon.
Tears?
We have to kiss dry. Not away.
Just dry enough to be able to see.

Pain and dimension free
What if memories never had a life
Or dreams would never come true
And hope remained unborn
Pain and dimension free
You think she would spend the time she has here on this one?
Or buy an other life by paying with tears
What if love worked on-off?
What if good and bad were black and white?
And Yes and No would just be perfectly enough, why do we need maybe?

Appease my hunger, I beg you
Why can I not breath if you are not here
My sight becomes blurry with every minute I wait
The blood in my veins clots with every breath I can not take
My cold sweaty hands paint your name in the snow
Can not swallow the things I want to tell you
Can not tell them neither
Weightless I float with my feet in concrete yen
Kept on the ground by the weight on my chest
This is not love this is hunger for it
I die of thirst for affection from you
Love so deep that is hurts, so titanic and buries my life
Nothing is worth a single...
My sight becomes blurry with every minute I wait
The blood in my veins clots with every breath I can not take
My cold sweaty hands paint your name in the snow
Can not swallow the things I want to tell you
Can not tell them neither
Weightless I float with my feet in concrete yen
Kept on the ground by the weight on my chest
This is not love this is hunger for it
I die of thirst for affection from you
Love so deep that is hurts, so titanic and buries my life
Nothing is worth a single...

Nothing special
Standing under a highway bridge
November wetness creeps between the zippers
A concrete column leans on her back
An 34 year old life on her shoulders
Alone in a crowd, a silent scream she didnt even heard her self
Washy grey eyes seeing nothing but the down spiral she fights every day
Blurry flashes of others joy and a taste of already breathed pleasure
The sound of a city full of wet lonely grey
I saw her waiting for nothing special
My feet still so alive from the last dance for this night
Sharing a smoke was what I offered ...
November wetness creeps between the zippers

Slip on your drivel
You gabble on and on
No interruption no point
Yapping out your insecurity
I would give my arm for a break
Soon I will cut off my own ear
You fill the room with pointlessness
Your talking wastes precious air
Watch your steps
Check the floor
You might tumble over my legs
Or my brain so sore
A broken jar and a nose bleed for free
Will cure me from your drivel
And set me free
No interruption no point
Yapping out your insecurity
I would give my arm for a break
Soon I will cut off my own ear
You fill the room with pointlessness
Your talking wastes precious air
Watch your steps
Check the floor
You might tumble over my legs
Or my brain so sore
A broken jar and a nose bleed for free
Will cure me from your drivel
And set me free

I wonder
If just your glance
Millions of nano flashes
Ocillate my mind to trance
Turn all my sanity into ashes
What would a touch do I wonder
Boil my blood I guess
Turn my breath to thunder
Rearrange my atoms - not more and not less
Millions of nano flashes
Ocillate my mind to trance
Turn all my sanity into ashes
What would a touch do I wonder
Boil my blood I guess

We can do it all, can we?
How can we believe we can fly underwater
If we cant even go on the streets hand in hand
Why would we think we could ride a dragon
If we cant talk with eachother when we want
We dream of a family together
But cant even meet your friends
What makes us imagine to conquer the world
If we dont have the strength to break out of this tantalizingness
How comes that we plan a future
If we not even have the moment
Why we do that all?
Because we are in love
If we cant even go on the streets hand in hand
Why would we think we could ride a dragon
If we cant talk with eachother when we want
We dream of a family together
But cant even meet your friends
What makes us imagine to conquer the world
If we dont have the strength to break out of this tantalizingness
How comes that we plan a future
If we not even have the moment
Why we do that all?
Because we are in love

I can not
I can not
**********
I screen the horizon
For signs from the future
Blurry sky , glittering sun
Rising or descent i dont know.
I can not see
Only feel the crisp wind from the sea, the ocean of life
I can not hear
Only sense the vibration of the new,
Swelling beats of the tunes of fate
I can not move
Only try to stay in place
Holding on the hopes we have
I can not speak
Only look in your eyes
And I know you understand
**********

Sclerotic memories
Sclerotic grey memories of the ease with your wife
Fossilized impressions of your own smile
What happened to your so well planned life
Can you even remember how happy you walked down the aisle?
Archived adventures in her leather skin binding
Can you recall the beginnings end
How did it come she stopped minding
When did you started to like to offend
When was the last time you called her a friend
Where do you go to find affection
Did you not see how she did constantly bend
Crying at night for all this rejection
Are you...
Fossilized impressions of your own smile
What happened to your so well planned life
Can you even remember how happy you walked down the aisle?
Archived adventures in her leather skin binding
Can you recall the beginnings end
How did it come she stopped minding
When did you started to like to offend
When was the last time you called her a friend
Where do you go to find affection
Did you not see how she did constantly bend

How far can you bend before you break?
How far can you bend before you break?
How long can you carry on,
how much more can you take?
Why cant you admitt to yourself
Why do you still hidde from us
When will you leave the range
When initiate the change?
Where do you want to fall?
Unseen and hard?
Or do you dare to let go
and fall into my arms?
How long can you carry on,
how much more can you take?
Why cant you admitt to yourself
Why do you still hidde from us
When will you leave the range
When initiate the change?
Where do you want to fall?
Unseen and hard?
Or do you dare to let go
and fall into my arms?

Anymore
Once we spoke the same language
I dont understand what you say
Anymore
Once we had the same visions
I dont see what you do
Anymore
Once we heard even the unspoken
I can not listen - you dont tell
Anymore
Once we had a future
Even the now is not real
Anymore
Once so close
We do not know us
Anymore
Once we loved
I do not
Anymore
I dont understand what you say
Anymore
Once we had the same visions
I dont see what you do
Anymore
Once we heard even the unspoken
I can not listen - you dont tell
Anymore
Once we had a future
Even the now is not real
Anymore
Once so close
We do not know us
Anymore
Once we loved
I do not

greedy alone
My wrist so numb
The yoniverse so sore
I think of you and
Still want more
The yoniverse so sore
I think of you and
Still want more
