POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Expressing my feelings...Passionately
You don’t know why I smile
You don’t know why I smile...
You can just see me
Looking at the distance
For a while
You don’t know why I smile...
Right on I’m creating
Three poems at once
Deep in my mind
You wouldn't understand that
Even if I say to you
Except, if accidentally
You’re a poet too?
In that case
This feeling of mine
You already knew
You can just see me
Looking at the distance
For a while
You don’t know why I smile...
Right on I’m creating
Three poems at once
Deep in my mind
You wouldn't understand that
Even if I say to you
Except, if accidentally
You’re a poet too?
In that case
This feeling of mine
You already knew

Danube
My roads -
You follow them all.
Forcing me to go, to stand
In the face of my every fear,
Like your waters -
Deep and unclear.
I see you again, crossing my way,
Like a coming doubt.
The solution, I ask about.
Unknown you stay.
In my eye, I feel you anew.
Like a glittering jewel,
Pieces of light,
Tonight, ...

Enslaved
We are slaves
Of this body
Slaves of
Pain
Slaves of
Love
And it’s power
To obey us
We're slaves of our desires
Slaves of lust
We are slaves of sin,
As Jesus said
Slaves
Of time
Slaves
Of
This life
Of our decisions,
Consequences
Of our acts
In the end,
What aren’t we slaves of?
We break the chains
Just
By knowing
That
Of this body
Slaves of
Pain
Slaves of
Love
And it’s power
To obey us
We're slaves of our desires
Slaves of lust
We are slaves of sin,
As Jesus said
Slaves
Of time
Slaves
Of
This life
Of our decisions,
Consequences
Of our acts
In the end,
What aren’t we slaves of?
We break the chains
Just
By knowing
That

Back To Gothic
It’s all in vain with you
I give up
All I have given is left
To be lost
It’s all in vain with you
In circles we round
I’m a ruin
Of what I was
It’s all in vain with you
My life is a fail
I fall
Again, hard
It’s all in vain with you
I’m never enough, I know
’Cause I’m nothing
And that’s the only thing
We’ll become
It’s all in vain with you
I know it’s cliche
But there is no love
'Cause
You
Don't
Beleive!

Duchess of your heart
Lace gloves hiding my hands
My neck hugged by emeralds and diamonds
Embedded in gold, which I'm adorned
Stuning dress in burgundy color,
Decolletage far from small
Pure silk, custom sewn for this ball
What do you look at, my sir?
Are the jewels, what you observe?
Or the color of my eyes you would mention?
Did shine of gold catch your attention?
Or my pale skin, you would rather caress?
Why do you embarrass?
Maybe because of my tight corset?
Or is my smile just too direct?
The golden ring on...

You
You were icy cold
Hard
As a rock
I was fire on the inside
Uncontrolably
Moving toward you
You couldn’t resist
Insight
We touched
I got to your core
Melting you up
Making you flow
You boiled
At the end
You exstinguished me
Making flame by flame
Dissapear
And you volatilized
You won attack
Now I'm cold
And you
Hot as hell
And I know
It will
Take some time

Changes
Unharvested black grape clusters
Left on a scruffy vine
No more
Bees, neither wasps nor butterflies
Not even hornets
To suck the sugar juices
From it’s drained grains
The land of the grey
Colors fade away
Seasons shift
Cold winds
Chase away the living things
Penetrate through doors, under sleeves
To hide we must
Our flowers
Before the coming frost
Preparing
For a wedding
Winter will take Autumn
As his bride
Red
I’ll be wearing

Laugh & Tears
Reminiscence
Of a bold piano sound
Man playing next to me
As I sang
Lachen und weinen
Sharpening my tongue
With German
Young, searching for a strenght in myself
Unsure what's it all about
Years have passed
Laughter and tears
Not unknown anymore
Tears after breakfast
Laugh in the dinner time
Emptiness as I lay down
To sleep
Renewal as I rise
Crying of the
Mournful, banished ...

Love
1.
Love isn’t a thing
That you can pick up on the street
And throw away when you don’t need it
Love is neither a fun nor a game
It enobbles us
But it also
Demands
2.
Love and Suffering -
Inseparable sisters.
Hand in hand they go,
Living in the same home:
Human heart.
Is there anybody who wants Love?
She has a pretty face,
And laborer’s hands.
Poor, without a dowry,
She’s got only a sister,
Ugly old maid.
Who marries Love,
He’ll take the sister too. ...

Just one day
Let’s be friends
Before suffering eats me up alive
Let’s be lovers
Before we collapse
Let’s be honest-
However, dirty we’ll come out
The result – was our life good
We’ll know only at the end of the path
When it's too late to regret
Anyways, the deep will stay intact
Love me Just one day
So we have something
To memorize...

Writing poetry
The spirit of the tree
Soaks up the pain,
Composed on writing sheets.
It slowly dissapears
In oblivion,
And my soul is now cleaned.
And the paper,
Made for comforting,
Has been soiled
By a dream...

The Feeling
Something strange
Came across
Been there, and then
Gone away
Have I felt it, have I not?
I know I did.
But will I care for it?
That’s the top
