POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
If not to fight against the monsters inside us, why do we write?
Growing up
The little bat has spread ist wings
and wants to fly away.
But since the day will soon begin,
it is told to stay.
Its mother says, "Don't you dare
to try and sneak out now.
We love you all and we do care
about your life and all".
But as the mother leaves its child,
she can not see a spark
where deep down in the shadows hide
two eyes, glowing in the dark.
And after she has left the place
the little bat again
spreads its wings, leaps through the haze,
was never seen again.

Confession
I mustered up my courage
and I told her how I felt.
A moment of silence between us.
Our eyes met and she opened her mouth.
"Thank you", she said, "Thank you very much."
She smiled.
I loved her smile.
"I'm sorry, I don't feel that way for you."
"Thank you!"
and I told her how I felt.
A moment of silence between us.
Our eyes met and she opened her mouth.

"I'm sorry, I don't feel that way for you."

Immortality
You said, immortality meant never dying,
But now I know that you were lying.
As everyone fades away,
we have to always stay
and never can we sway,
but my heart has gone astray.
You told me we will see,
who's free and who will never be.
Who was it, that never knew?
Was it us, was it me and you?
As times change and the world rotates,
and everyone we love leaves this place,
we stay together, live our lie.
And all along we hope, that someday we will die.
But now I know that you were lying.
As everyone fades away,
we have to always stay
and never can we sway,
but my heart has gone astray.
You told me we will see,
who's free and who will never be.
Who was it, that never knew?
Was it us, was it me and you?
As times change and the world rotates,
and everyone we love leaves this place,
we stay together, live our lie.
And all along we hope, that someday we will die.

Mirrors
A mirror shows what's left inside.
We have no fear, we have no pride,
we touch the glass, it is so cold.
We go right trough, we are so bold.
The feelings that we hide are old,
they are not something we still hold,
we do discard what we don't need,
we change our view with every beat.
A wooden frame holds what's still dear.
Images engraved in here.
Memories that no one wants to keep.
We take a step and we will steep.
Behind the mirror, our own world,
we can achieve what we just want.
But we can't hear a single word,
we...

We walked...
We walked a path between those trees
and never did we think about
what fruits they bore and how their leaves
fell every fall onto the ground.
We walked this very lonely road
and all the time above our heads,
there shone the sun, daylight so broad,
we never thought about our deaths.
We crossed the river styx in time
and never did we waste a word.
The words I didn't say and now are mine
are words that you have never heard.
And all along you have been hurt.

Leave
Snow is falling to the ground,
I cannot hear a single sound.
your pouty lips, your smiling eyes,
I hate to think of your good-byes.
Leave the house just as you came,
remove the picture, leave the frame.
Take your clothes and leave no trace,
I hate to see your lovely face.
The trees stand tall, they faced it all.
The seasons change and so do we.
But you and I, I don't know why
will always be just you and me.
I see your footsteps in the snow
and I run after you, you know.
But as my pace slows down, I cry.
And I stand...

Waiting...
In the end we still let go.
I don't know, when we cross paths again,
but I just want to let you know,
that I will wait until the end
for you.
My hand is letting go of yours,
and slowly we will drift apart.
I didn't think that I would feel
as cold. This is so hard!
I want to see your smiling face!
I want to hear your soothing voice!
I want to touch your lovely hands!
I want to kiss your lips so badly!
As you go on and live your life
I will stay back and wait for you.
I dream of all the times we spent,
and hope that...

Als die Zeit gekommen war
Here comes the beautiful german language :) For those who understand it:
Als die Zeit gekommen war und ich fragte, was nun sei,
kamst du zu mir und du sagtest: "Jetzt bist du für immer frei."
Doch da ich dich nicht verstand und nicht wusste, was du meinst,
konnte ich auch noch nicht sehen, dass du immer um mich weinst.
Nichts ist mir von dir geblieben, nichts bleibt weiterhin bestehen.
Niemals werde ich in Zukunft wieder deine braunen Augen sehen.
Als der Wind durchs Fenster strich und dein weißes Bett aufwühlte
wusste ich noch immer nicht,...

The spirit of the weak
They do not know how to defend.
They usually simply bend
under the pressure of the strong.
I think this world is wrong.
The revolution cannot wait.
If they don't rise it is to late.
They must revolt they must be one.
If they unite, they can be one.
They have to rise this very day.
The strong lead them too long astray
to strengthen their own holy might.
I think this world's not right.
The spirit of the weak was humble,
but today they will crumble
the houses of the strongest men.
The weak will shout: "We can!"

Don't you cry
When I swore to never see you crying
I hoped we would not change until the end.
But as times go on, we have to live on
and nothing stays the way it was before.
As your tears are flowing like a river,
I break my oath, come to you, hold you tight.
When I can't be there to shield your heart,
I just have to make sure that it stays safe.
I want to hold you, feel you, want to kiss you,
but I know you can't endure the pain.
So I hide my tears and show a smile,
and stay as we are now until the end.
Let me be your pillow, when you're...

Times when I just sit and wait
Times when I just sit and wait
times, when you just wait for me.
For every lie I told, I paid.
Now that I am gone, I see.
A light has shown the way.
There are things we never reach.
Go straight, do not sway,
believe in god and preach.
Show me that you love me too.
Let me see your inner light.
I do what I always do.
Everything will be alright.
As your lips and mine will touch,
as we die of too much us,
as we kill the pain inside,
as we die of fright.

Warmth
Sitting with you
next to the oven
feeling the warmth
of you
Holding your hand,
feeling you near me,
hearing your heartbeat,
slowly
fading
lights
Silence
Sitting here with you
again and again
holding your hand
cold
sadness is killing
killing is sadness
hearing no heartbeat
feeling no warmth
of you
next to the oven
feeling the warmth
of you
Holding your hand,
feeling you near me,
hearing your heartbeat,
slowly
fading
lights
Silence
Sitting here with you
again and again
holding your hand
cold
sadness is killing
killing is sadness
hearing no heartbeat
feeling no warmth
of you
