POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm a reading- and writing-addict, and usually write poems, essays and stories in my mothertongue German. As I also love the English language very much, I started to write English poems some time ago. I am looking forward to reading YOUR poems!
If Only
If only every child
Had someone at their side who
Listened to them attentively
Took them seriously
Believed in their potential
Encouraged them
Always had their back and
Loved them unconditionally
This world would be a better place
Had someone at their side who
Listened to them attentively
Took them seriously
Believed in their potential
Encouraged them
Always had their back and
Loved them unconditionally
This world would be a better place

Cosmic Dancer
You don't have a name
You know nothing
You are a blank slate
There is a void inside of you
A void of infinite possibilities
A void of boundless resources
A golden thread in your soul spans
From mists of ancient time to
Present and to future, allowing you
Access to vaults of ancient wisdom,
Modern achievements and
Future manifestations of utopias
You are an eternal cosmic dancer
Whirling between the dimensions
Leading the circle of awakened souls
You are the bidge between the
Materialistic world and...

Don't Expect Me To Be Tender
A blanket of ominous silence
Lies over the town
The streets are deserted
Mysterious twílight breaks in
I cover the sun
With my wind black hair
Slowly I begin
Ruffle your hair
Place ícy kisses on your face
But don't expect me to be tender
I am not a shallow breeze
I am a raging storm
I am a howling wolf playing
Hilarious games with you
Ferociously I grab you
With cold wind gusts hands
Roaring I blow from all directions
Whirling you up into the air
Watch me disrooting trees and ...

Human Nature
Marveling at the full moon
Magically glistening in her silvery beauty
I see your face looking back
Your moonbeam eyes can read
My innermost being like an open book
I am the newborn lively fawn
I am the wolf tearing apart a lamb
I am the mother getting her child out of the war zone
I am the jet pilot dropping the bomb
I am you, in all your glory, in all your defeats
One soul in many different manifestations
Looking down on earth
With compassionate moon beam eyes
I am overwhelmed by the stunning colorful variety ...

For hours I've been sitting on this rock
Where you wanted to meet me
In the afternoon hours, and now
The sky is already dressed for soiree
In all shades of orange, red and pink
Where are you, dear, when will you come?
A hundred times I've brushed my hair
A golden wave flowing to my hips
Soft and silken like the
Legendary golden fleece
Longing for your hands' gentle touch
Where are you, dear, when will you come?
I climbed up a steep path to this rock
Hi above the river Rhein
A wonderful viewpoint of the valley ...

The Green Classroom
Lying on the soil of the forest
My refuge and my sanctuary
All my senses sharpened
Attentively observing the wildlife
I become a humble student of
All the mysteries of nature
Snail shells, ferns and hexagonal
Honeycombs teach me about
Sacred Geometry
From birds, howling wolves,
Rustling leaves and buzzing insects
I get to know the harmony of music
Nature's circle of
Birth, death and rebirth
Allows me insights in religion
Trees with their strong bonds and
Supportive relationships

Light at the End of the Tunnel
The day
The last unicorn returns
Phoenix rises from the ashes
And the lost boy is found
Is the day
Humankind takes the first step
Towards awakening
The last unicorn returns
Phoenix rises from the ashes
And the lost boy is found
Is the day
Humankind takes the first step
Towards awakening

Kissed by the Storm
Once I was a pile of sand
Something less than spectacular
Maybe, coming closer
One might have recognized
That the fine grains
Were shimmering softly
In all colors of the rainbow
Then you came into my life
A whirling tornado
Turning me upside down
And lifting me up to the sky
In mighty spirals
Making me lose my mind
And my self-control
Being powerful and gentle
At the same time
This storm was
Absolutely trustworthy
I felt safe and understood
Ready to fly with this force of nature ...

Courtly Love
Beloved Isolde, queen of my heart!
Sun is such a cruel torturer
Taking way too long
To trade places with Lady Moon!
The only light mote she be
To illuminate our rendezvous!
When I close my eyes
I see thou right in front of me
An enchanting smile on thy face.
Neither diamonds nor flowers
Compare to thy beauty and charm!
Hand me thy velvet cloak, beloved.
Our bridal bed shall it be.
I don't need any culinary delights.
All I desire is to taste the sweetness
Of thy heart shaped lips.

Imbolc Cleansing
O Brigid, your season has arrived
Bowing to you, Jack Frost retreats
Nature speaks spring language
The first leaves unfurl, seeds sprout
Animals give birth to their offspring
Blessed by your light, o Goddess of
Fertility, the eternal circle of
Birth death and rebirth starts anew
I call upon your guidance, o Brigid
All rooms are prepared and cleaned
The incense sticks are kindled
Now the time has come to
Smudge the house of my soul
I am afraid to face the darker side
Encouraged by your divine light
I open the...
