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!
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

Anam Cara
A thousand times we met at this
Raw and beautiful place in the wild
Pondering spiritual topics
Reading stories and poems
Sharing mysteries
Guardians of each other's secrets
Now our ships take different directions
I have always encouraged you
To follow your inner calling
To embark on your hero's journey
But I overrated my ability
To cope with your departure
In your absence
I feel naked and vulnerable
I have forgotten all the lessons learned
My Anam Cara
My once in a lifetime soul friend...

Life is but a Dream
At night
Embraced by the velvety night sky
Caressed by silver moonlight
My soul paints dream pictures
On the canvas of wishes and
Limitless fantasies
A wise woman
With healing hands and second sight
On the back of my unicorn
I roam the woods and
Gather magical purple flowers
That only bloom at night
A medieval bard
Chanting poetic words of
Adventurous hero's journeys
Passionate love affairs
Bittersweet stories of
Longing and separation
A shaman in the rain forest

Snow-white
Free fall
Oh my goodness! I am falling!
Nothing to grab hold on
Petrified with fear
I close my eyes
Mother why did you let me go of?
Zero gravity
No more free falling
But lightweighted floating
I am dancing gracefully
Pirouetting like a ballerina
In my hectagon tutu
Far below
My brothers and sisters
Cover the ground with a
Glistening white blanket
Wait a moment!
I will come and join you!

Enchanted Heart
Wise old trees
Whispering mysteries
Tiny plant devas
Buzzing around wildflowers
Healing water of life
Flowing above gnarly roots
In small cascades within
The magical forest of my heart
I roam the wilderness in my chest
A willow basket
With little gifts in my hands
I feed the wildlife and
Leave gemstones for the fairies
I radiate loving kindness
Scooping of the abundance
Of my overflowing heart
All of a sudden
You cross my mind and

Life of a Tree
Deeply rooted in the womb of
Mother Earth
Branches stretched out to the sky
I connect this planet with the
Spiritual realm
Being a tree I am more awaken
Than I was in my life as a human
Once I was an insecure woman
Full of doubt without self-esteem
Now I live in widening circles and
Trust in nature's cyclical unfolding
Every spring I am reborn
In full bloom
A bride of the man of green
Soon after I give birth to
Sweet summer fruits
Before autumnal storms
Ask me for the death dance
And I let...

Serendipity
All my life I have been craving
For love
For happiness
For peace
The light in my soul was dimmed
In my darkest hours
I started to write
Poems and stories
Lost in deep self reflection
I forgot my desperate yearning
I paid attention to my inner light
It grew continuously
So I shared it with others
Watching the receivers bloom
Provided me happiness
The little flame in my heart
Increased to a blazing fire
So I radiated loving kindness
In return people opened their hearts
And gifted...
