Of Earth and Stars
Me Jan 2021
From here you lift your gaze
see
a million silver stars
looking back
looking
ahead
you share their eyes
their hearts unfold
your natural language
everything talks
Happy new year

Physics
Me Dec 2020
An open hand
cannot hold
strings
Unfolded wings
cannot not fly

How Do You Call This
Me Dec 2020
Breathe your mind empty;
I couldn't give you
different names though your
appearances differ
I couldn't
bring myself to call you
anything
A half-hearted try
you say,
already feeling
your face radiate
this smile that only builds from
knowing
I couldn't name you
anything else
Dec 2020 · 83
Like Breath
Me Dec 2020
A marvellous
flock of birds swims
in moving air and dances
as one
stunning
organism
I wish you could have seen this; if you are not competing, you can cooperate in a way that will leave you downright awestruck.
I wish for you all and myself to see, and to believe this.
Me Dec 2020
And then we part
into storm and chaos and we do so because
we can
because
we know

in truth

nothing

separates us

Enamorado
Me Dec 2020
An orange blue
bird
huddled outside under another
fluffy bird's wing gives you
an impression of wholeness
calm now
and swim
Light up

Anticipation
Me Dec 2020
Like a children's book -
I leaf through
all the coming adventures
and I wouldn't want
to be anywhere else
Dec 2020 · 113
Reunion
Me Dec 2020
On the peak of
Mount Kailash
emerges a hand
pulling Herself up
joining
the Dance
for good
Dec 2020 · 75
Do not be scared
Me Dec 2020
Because the fish
in the sea
never forbade themselves
to be aware of the water

Because the girl
in this world
always had eyes
for the bees and the leaves
of grass
and the air
You are always connected.

The Call
Me Dec 2020
There's a huge marble palace high
up above the clouds in the woods in the sky and beautiful birds
circle
its spires and fountains in this palace lives
a boy with pale skin not from
the lack of sun
with white lashes silvery
airy hair
A boy who runs plays jumps and one day
stumbles
into an unknown room
too dark to see his pale hands
Nevertheless
he permeates
the darkness
Eyes narrowed muscles only
half-tensed
A foggy thing softly
pushing tugging at
the corners of his mind
A memory
emerging
makes his feet
keep
the steady pace
into this room
towards a spot where
behind dusty curtains
a figure
curled up
sort of sleeps but breathes
gently
Pale hands find
Raven hair tug
lightly
Wake up, love
I was so pale cause you were missing
Dec 2020 · 73
Same Roots Same Sky Above
Me Dec 2020
I feel you in my backbone
always there
always
I feel you
with all I have
never go away
never leave me
"Heavy stones fear no weather" ~ Of Monsters and Men, Empire
...that's why I'm so outrageously courageous.

Who We Are
Me Dec 2020
I will not look at you with
the slightest hint of judgement
in my eyes I will never
want to see your face
disguised again
Me Dec 2020
A soft night waiting
for the nearing morning
charged
with gentle confidence
with quiet
inevitable joy
Dec 2020 · 71
I Belong
Me Dec 2020
Hammer in my right hand a bunch of
nails in the left
green vines bending towards my legs
I'm here
with all I have

I kneel down on the
cool muddy surface
caress
with decided clarity
the soil
the earth

I do belong
Dec 2020 · 76
Without a Second Thought
Me Dec 2020
what is love, what hate
what is a fifth grader picking up
a dead bird
what is your hand moving
to touch a bluebell flower
without a second thought
what your heart
in your word
what is love
what hate
how much weighs
your statement
in this cold winter air
how much
your warm breath
Dec 2020 · 125
Deer
Me Dec 2020
Compassionate eyes look onto
these white winter firs
in silent
agreement to wait
for whatever emerges
Dec 2020 · 73
Tundra
Me Dec 2020
At the edge of your perception borders
the image of
a fuzzy silhouette a figure
zigzagging through
tundra snow
in quiet speed -
a mental movement
reaches you
covered in still ice crystals -
a reminder
of just how far
feels close to you
Dec 2020 · 69
Fast Heart
Me Dec 2020
You might not believe it,
Love,
but this is winter
leaving
even if it feels like
you're right
in the middle of it

A Gift to Myself
Me Dec 2020
Stay true to Yourself no matter
If everyone else
suddenly breaks their promise
of self-respect and care -
You are your own comfort

❤️
What is your gift to Yourself these days?
Dec 2020 · 82
See-Through
Me Dec 2020
Nothing but a silk dress on,
a Night full of cellular stress
comes to an end -
nothing in the way
of your breathing
No hurry ;)

The Cave Men's Child
Me Dec 2020
The cave men's child sits
apprehensive
not really daring to make a first move
with all of the earth's turning
all of the creatures humming
outside the cave -
so Universe
intervenes
sends an image
of the night sky sprinkled
with silvery white scale-stars
on the pitch black
cosmic body
made of water -
a sign of intimate
Trust
for the cave men's child who
gets it
gets up
slowly
the right hand tinged in
rusty red colour
to make the boldest move -
a most beautiful handprint
on the cave walls
a slice of moonlight shining on it;
the most stunning canvas
of all time
the most courageous child
Dec 2020 · 66
Life Calling
Me Dec 2020
The pancakes are not cooking themselves, dear. Life is not living itself, without you. Get up get going everything calls. Everything calls for you in colour and sound and brilliant movement and you shall see it -

You lift your palms shaking bring them together no idea why you see

Life

unfolding calling and you are not
doing it alone
You lift your palms hold them
to your forehead

Life

Calling

Life

The Singer
Me Dec 2020
Braided hair around
her elegant head
she knows her feet well knows
her steps but does not care
so much cares more about
her music
her whole body
in unconditional agreement
amplifying
her Song
Dec 2020 · 48
Integration
Me Dec 2020
You're
allowed to breathe
with everything you are
You're allowed
to breathe and
take
Space

wrap yourself around
those obstacles
like water
til they
melt
These days something in me feels like I'm not allowed to breathe fully. I have to really breathe consciously to not stop halfway through. Some places feel thick.

Creating Peace from Chaos
Me Dec 2020
Nobody said this would
be an easy ride
nobody said so  
and yet
you're here
touch the water
dear, and let yourself
immerse

Towards the Surface
Me Dec 2020
The untanned soles of your
naked feet the most
vulnerable part yet facing
my palm now
I'll slowly embrace
the crocodile woman

Soundwaves
Me Dec 2020
All sounds
Speak
To your body you
Keep
None
Kind of a revelation for me.

Open the

It sealed in one

Sticky Fingers
Me Dec 2020
what a funny thing to do to
cut the globe
and spread it
and then forever ramble on
about this one perspective
Dec 2020 · 82
The Wind Itself
Me Dec 2020
You whisper your lines out
like an airborne feather,
light in the air
an inherent sense of where to go
not interfered with
by heavy objects
Nov 2020 · 68
Saturated
Me Nov 2020
a voice makes the desert trees shake
and sand curl around your navel
in an airy breeze
caressing the relief outline of the Wakhan mountains
on your skin
the hot core within tranquil
this is
a night of peace
the stars' sincere presence
as soothing as ever
Nov 2020 · 59
Universe Embracing
Me Nov 2020
You know
the Sound now
and why your head bows
and to what
and your Body can only
take so much

The Sound Wave
Me Nov 2020
Soft blue folds itself
around you
you don't need to
control it

whispers in your ear and the wave this
sound lays out for you
has your feet
trust
the path you walk on
Nov 2020 · 127
Are You a Night Sky
Me Nov 2020
Are you a Night Sky
protecting me from
bright
perturbing lights
intruding
my system
too early

Crossed Arms
Me Nov 2020
I asked for it I do not
want it
yet
I'd haunt me too much
not willing, unable
to share in a space
where the rules seem
so different

Innocent Creation
Me Nov 2020
A black stone
in a pond of white
sends out liquid vibrant

Through the Flames
Me Nov 2020
{...}
Fire almost burned away
sizzling
every stench by now every quivering unauthentic vow of love
every trick played on you
for the sake of
surviving

But you'll come out soon
and you'll reek
of smoke and you will choke a bit
on your own courage
But Baby, it'll nourish this
entire world

Nobody fake it you
will make it through the flames
Nov 2020 · 73
Self-Respect
Me Nov 2020
The flame of Self-respect burns
and no-one can turn it down
but yourself

The Cosmic Heart
Me Nov 2020
Ideas thoughts photons dart
at the sheer spaciousness -
that
is your heart there
in the middle

Orion's Belt
Me Nov 2020
Three bright figures stretch
across the night sky -
a pinpoint delivery
attracting
my restless eye
before I dare go to sleep
Nov 2020 · 63
The Lighthouse
Me Nov 2020
On a dark blue ocean wave rides
a red-white striped
lighthouse
beams
simultaneously
inward and out -
You cannot miss it

In No Time
Me Nov 2020
Little thin shy lines of green light
Stretch out their heads
Connect
If allowed
And send a beating
Pulse back
Have your heart melt
In no time

A mess
Dive down
Lovely

Physical
Me Nov 2020
A merciless clarity rubs
Your white collarbone *****
At your lips
Has your breath hitch before
One final
Twist of your gut

Summoning
Me Nov 2020
Night exhales
Her cold breath in your face
Telling you stories of fear

A nightingale shouts
Her little heart out
For your soul to hear
Where to reach

A rush through the air
Your head tilted back
By a violent grab of your hair

A little bird's flutter
Two lips that stutter
A motionless prayer

A story of Night
That likes to play make-believe

A young pounding heart
That learns within brief
It was played from the start

This tale
Just a dream
Of tonight
I honestly do not know what has gotten into me. Scaring myself a bit.
Nov 2020 · 62
The First Time
Me Nov 2020
In the middle of the middle
of no space
a pair of yellow, childlike eyes,
innocent and with
just a trace of oblivion,
opens
Is it open, or opens?
Nov 2020 · 56
Secret Companions
Me Nov 2020
A girl in the streets, *****, untidy hair a scary look on the face plays
a violin facing
all the while
the man who hates it

One by one he
cuts
her strings but she
keeps playing without a single
alteration on her face

Not even after the
very
last
string has - with a final thud - been cut in half
does she stir

And only when -

It's only then that he does realise
grows pale and with wide eyes feels something sting:
the sound never came from the instrument.

He exhales
gives in
surrenders to the
vibrant sound surrounding
his every cell and hair and thought
bathes
in what ought to be
for so long
Nov 2020 · 60
In Case of Suffocation
Me Nov 2020
On her penultimate breath she
pulls out the shiny
new old card in her deck which reads
I am sovereign
holding it up to show
to trigger
another kind of
mass-effect
Do not hide your very personal opinions. It's fine if they mean most to you. It's fine if they do NOT coincide with what you think is public opinion.
Nov 2020 · 70
Realisation
Me Nov 2020
You're ready, you say, oddly proud
take
my face in your hands before you draw
ceremonially
two lines with *******, two lines of white on each of my cheeks, nodding earnestly
smiling ever so warmly as if saying
I'll be only a few steps behind, if not closer for now
all the time
my eyes ask of you
all the time yes all the time your presence
answers, reassures
and I detach
not detach
and take a step forward into the snow
the cold where I can see my breath forming clouds
and it is not cold at all
it is not cold
Nov 2020 · 74
The Man in a Dress
Me Nov 2020
Standing proudly now in his
purple silk-dress, tall
and lifting
the sky on his back
come on,
he says
I think I am allowed
what an untypical sight he makes;
that proud face lacking
all signs of arrogance
