charge
this charge
polarised again
with energies
of new beginnings
woven in the waves
floating in the currents
of tides and out
of that heart
fulfilled with
my inner truth
as man
expressed or sublimated
in the dance of my life
while it exists
it'll be part of the whole
with its invisible impact
with its seminal energy
living its own life
direction
and striving
…to win
what's playing
hard to get
polarised again
with energies
of new beginnings
woven in the waves
floating in the currents
of tides and out
of that heart
fulfilled with
my inner truth
as man
expressed or sublimated
in the dance of my life
while it exists
it'll be part of the whole
with its invisible impact
with its seminal energy

my work
the work I do
my work
my inner work
is not to reduce
or to deny
categorise as false
and to argue
as convincing
as I can
my work
my inner work
is not reductive
but synthetic
my work
my inner work
this analysis
does not mean
endless rationalisation
but to undo
to loosen up
the fixed perceptions
the work I do
this inner work
is to listen and observe
I don’t deny
your experience
your feelings
and story
the way you...

walking paradox
my inadequacies
and personality shortcomings
you’ve experienced towards yourself
have nothing to do with you
but with me – only me
yet you were the only one
experiencing them
as I’m completely different
with others
…and in the months after
I proved that to myself
(another paradoxical opposites in search of integration)
“All generalisations are false, including this one.”
― Albert Einstein

destructive hope
this is a different kind of hope
your eyes are beautiful as they are
they live their own life in my head
and I’m still drowning
inside these green rings
losing myself exploring

I’m the shaman
with a duty to restore
to heal to dance
at the sound of ritual drums
summoning your sight

a new pair of eyes
a pair of new eyes
in a stained paper bag
I’ve found today
I almost poked out mine
almost cried them fully out
pushing away my captivation
but it’s still so strong
so beautiful
still full of love I can not kill
I put them in the fridge
just in case you’ll like
to take a look at me
again one day
and see me differently
with this new pair of eyes
...but I know you wouldn't
and I'm still bargaining about
our imminent death as a couple
in a stained paper bag

a thousand words
falling back into the trap
the sullen boy
is seeking for his mom’s attention
attracted and provoked
by the screaming girl
another narcissistic wound
with its longings and obsessions
cleverly formulating
an artistic scorn
they say
a picture worths
a thousand words
but why you keep putting words
to your pictures
as if you’re only capable
of shooting incomplete sentences
and unarticulate ideas
filling them

longing
I listen to the talks
nowadays
I listen to the talks
all the time
they are on and on
blacking out
the inner conversation
to overwrite
the sick words
the wrong beliefs
the exaggerated
that what drove Her away
the many Hers
being devastated
the privilege
thank you
the wound
the privilege
to read
rewrite
reread
the stories of myself
to deal with this inner life
thank you

repetition compulsion
all these years
I’ve been on the quest
of saving someone
the infantile dream
I started as a child
to save my parents
out of the chaos of their lives
needless to say
I failed
I failed once
I failed again
and then again
and once again
with 4 [1]
my repetition compulsion [2]
has reached a full circle
am I going to repeat
compulsively again?
these futile attempts
to save people
to make them shine
to put them in the place
to shine forth
as diamonds...

nocturnal
as he woke up to the light
the brightness of the day was clouded
the growing walnut spread its young twigs
higher and higher reaching up
his second floor balcony
the overwhelming shadows…
he broke the garden scissors
in attempts of trimming the intruder
letting the light in
just as the dust began to settle
in the darkest of corners
the silently applauding neighbours…
he cleaned the house
and went to bed too tired
forgot to feed the cat
forgot to close the doors ...

figure it out
each of these memes
is an actual insult to love
yet another
simplified
attempt at manipulating a response
you’re so cool
so sexual
so demonstratively hurt
by the uncool violent oppressor
when have you been rejected?
…excluded… even once
do you even start to grasp?…
you know nothing…
so oblivious and casual about the pain
of being gutted and hammered
seeking your immediate gratification
of revisiting our sex life
you...

hope to be wrong
I might not be right
but I better express myself
say what I think…
and how I felt…
on the first* occasion
I’ve kind of closed my eyes…
what is a one small mistake?
I’m writing it off
it was just one encounter… what the hell?
even if it bothered me… that’s just once
I gotta be a little forgiving
but then it happened twice*
then I knew
I should be a little awake
what the hell? – I’ve been wide awake for months now
and I should remember both times
