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!
Shame
Annoying traveling companion
Through the dark night of my soul
Torrential rivers of insecurity
Vast deserts of mistakes
A gaping abyss of failure
One day an angel in disguise of a boy
Stepped into my life
Holding me a mirror and
Rekindling my inner light
Reminding me of my true essence
My thinking mind
My loving heart
My intuitive sensitive soul
Guiding me towards a
Purposeful life
Through the dark night of my soul
Torrential rivers of insecurity
Vast deserts of mistakes
A gaping abyss of failure
One day an angel in disguise of a boy
Stepped into my life
Holding me a mirror and
Rekindling my inner light
Reminding me of my true essence
My thinking mind
My loving heart
My intuitive sensitive soul
Guiding me towards a
Purposeful life

Shadow Work
Haunting capricious shadow
Guardian of the
Dark side of my soul
Magically attractive
Gloomy and deterrent
Mighty old trees catch my eye
Rustling leaves whisper softly
Join us! Underneath our crowns
Your demons can play
Wild and naughty games!
Feeling uneasy I turn away
And spot a cave amidst
A bizarre rock formation
Sweet seductive voices
Tempt to draw me into its depth
Come closer! Explore wet stalactites
And mysterious passingways
Leading deep into the womb of Mother...

A Life Fulfilled
A Life Fulfilled
When I die
I want to go
Gracefully like
An autumn leaf
I will not cling desperately
To a barren tree
But leave this life
Light-hearted and free
Looking back at a lifetime
Full of compassion
Full of kindness
Full of love
Finally I let go of
And dance in elegant circles
Towards the soil of Mother Earth
Carried by a soft breeze of wind
In all my beauty
In all my colors
In all my light
In all my brilliance
When I die
I want to go
Gracefully like
An autumn leaf
I will not cling desperately
To a barren tree
But leave this life
Light-hearted and free
Looking back at a lifetime
Full of compassion
Full of kindness
Full of love
Finally I let go of
And dance in elegant circles
Towards the soil of Mother Earth
Carried by a soft breeze of wind
In all my beauty
In all my colors
In all my light
In all my brilliance

Hero's Journey
I traveled the world
Experienced adventures
Overcame obstacles
Transcended dark nights of the soul
Just to find my treasure
In your magical eyes

Strawberry Moon
There are nights
I am more wolf than woman
Gathering dreams and mysteries
I roam the woods
A delicate fragrance
Spicy and sweet
Lingers in the air
Awakening a burning desire
Echoes of unconditional
Devoted love and passion
Wash against the coastline of my soul
And kindle a fire in my heart
Gazing at the moon’s reflection
On the surface of the pond
I see a beautiful face
Impressive eyes looking back at me
I throw back my head
Howling with yearning at the

Flawed Beauty
Though my legs are paralyzed
I traveled the seven seas
On a quest in search for Atlantis
I climbed high mountains and
Roamed vast deserts to find my treasure
Accompanied by Peruvian shamans
I drank Ayahuasca
Supported by a wolf pack
I survived atomic winter.
I am a reader!
I had tea with fairies and plant devas
Talked to friendly beings in faraway galaxies
Embarked on adventurous journeys
On the back of my unicorn
I listened to the messages
The rustling autumn leaves
Whispered into my ear

Rhythm of the Night
I dance to the
rhythm of the night
with a veil of moonlight
and a necklace made of stars
I dance to the
yearning melody of my soul
moving my hips
in lascivious circles
I dance to the
beating drum of my heart
fiercely stomping the ground
dedicated to ecstasy
I dance to the
rustling of the raw beauty of nature
where is no one else
but me and the wild
I dance to the
sound of the blazing fire
of unconditional love
Come, and dance with me!

Once in a Month
Drawn by an inner calling
I roam the woods
Restlessly following a delicate scent
Lingering around the trees
Mylove-mylove-mylove
Fragments of memory
Echoes of unconditional love
For a man, a seeker, a lover
Keep rustling in my soul
Imissyou-Imissyou-Imissyou
Full of fear
The animals of the forest
Flee from me - not knowing that
I am the haunted huntress
Whereareyou-whereareyou-whereareyou
Groaning with pain
I sink to the forest soil
Look up to the
twinkling night-sky and ...

Enchanting Laughter
Gentle and refreshing
like warm summer rain
your silvery laughter
drips into the
greenhouse of my heart
making the plants of
love, kindness and compassion
flourish and grow.
To every person I meet
I give a flower of the
abundance of my garden
so that the
colorful beauty and
enchanting fragrance
may touch their hearts
and put a smile on their faces.

Tonight
Tonight, when I
dance around the bonfire
dressed in starshine only -
blame it on the moon!
Tonight, when I
chant ancient rhymes
to the rhythm of my heartbeat -
blame it on the moon!
Tonight, when I
roam the woods
howling with my wolf pack –
blame it on the moon!
Tonight, when I
lose my mind
and don’t want to get it back -
blame it on the moon!
Tonight, when I
whisper love-stoned words
of burning desire into your ear -
blame it on me!
