Downstream
Me Oct 2019
Eyes closed
and rushing
downstream
towards something
you want
and are
scared of

But on the way
the current washes
off the fear so that
you'll definitely get there
whole and
bright
and clear
God the way is so so so hard somedays

Bleeding hands,
dear rub
your  face
analyse over and over
       what is there to ask but
one thing:
do you
really wanna cling to this
do you
Ask the question that implies the answer;
Ask from the place of the answer to help this part get to you.

The Body of Water
Me Aug 2020
You let yourself be touched in the gentlest of ways,
a feather caressing your skin from your fingertips up to your shoulder and on til your cheek, letting loose a sensation that reverberates
out from the center of your chest into your whole body
and out from it.
It makes you a lighthouse, an involuntary beam of unrepressed, most intimate joy.
A most honest feeling.
The water beneath your feet is crystal clear now,
truly reflecting icy blue and silver, not cold.
It brings almost as much joy to you as this caressing touch.
And you want to show it, point it out, share the knowledge of it, that is. You are eager.
And you don’t have to worry that you might not find your way  back.
And you already know why. You have mastered the water,
as it taught you how to, tirelessly and in so many ways.

World's Best Technology
Me May 2020
You are
A masterpiece a super
Seismograph
And now
You do not only register
The scary earthquakes
Now you can
Rediscover
The complete power of
Your full technology
If you are human you have super powers, whether you know it or not :-* You are asked to make use of it.

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

Loving Stir
Me Aug 2019
In your hand
a purple blossom
grows and
opens
and reveals
the sleeping
peaceful
Universe
and how it sighs
and curls up in
your warmth
and how you blew onto
its tiny face
to wake it up
and play-

The Inner Translator
Me Sep 2020
You hand me
words that I translate
into colour for you so that you
can understand
I loosen them up
break, gently, their hard lines and shapes
so that their energy becomes one
you can handle
so that this world becomes
one you can handle,

Swallowed
Me Sep 2019
Picture a vast
wild sea
rough and waves
as high as
skyscrapers
ice cold water
and sharp edged
riffs

what is it
I ask from
you?

I ask you
to

jump

and become
the sea
with every bone
every muscle
every single of your
eyelashes and words
and breaths
become
the sea

before it calms down
and washes you
to the shore
and let's you off

and your eyes meet
all you constantly
dreamed of

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.
Me May 15
Darkness as
The quiet potential

For light

Waits
Surrounds you

Patiently

Tolerating all labels and fears

The Bridge
Me Oct 2019
Such a stunning piece of work
it has become
and glowing
in the bright sunlight

Only here and there
are some spots that need
mending
still-

an ill feeling of
half-presence befalls me
every time I step
into such a spot-

But only for a second
before I kneel down-
hot and panting-
next to my toolbox and start
filling in the space
and thus connecting-

      This Bridge is not
a simple gateway to get
from one place to
another

But rather
is it in itself
a connection piece
Me Aug 2019
I want to write
a poem for YOU

who has suffered so much
who has seen
so much
and was- for so
so long-
not allowed to see

For YOU
who was always there
sometimes in a dark, dark corner
sometimes out
in the daylight and
dancing

Who never really left
just went
somewhere else in order
to survive

For YOU
who was there before my tiny feet
were touched by the doctors and nurses
before my mother looked into my eyes
for the first time
before I took my first
oxygen breath
before anyone could know-

For YOU
and for the fact
that you are with me
even in times where
I did not believe in
anything
when the waves came rolling so high
and the rain fell so heavy
and the storm blew so hard
I couldn't even
see the shore

This is for YOU
and for me
and to honor
the most beautiful
fact of all-

That it does not matter anymore
whether it is for YOU
or for me
because
we
are
not apart
anymore.
credits for the title of this poem to Toni Morrison, and love.

The end of time
Me May 15
She sits next to you now, on the dusty
Brick wall munching a green apple
Unperturbed
As your thoughts about time
Are still rattling

So,
She states, looking at you
I have been
Here beside you all the time,
Haven't I

Your brain snaps

She winks.

Then, with a click,
Your brain takes it, got it

Move.
Me May 2020
If you
Externalize
Your pressure
Dear
It will
For sure
Push back to you
And you will feel
Awkwardly pushed away and not
know
Why

Humming of the Hope Squad
Me Apr 2020
Everything gathers
inside of you
quietly waiting
with such a heartfelt

the silent agreement
tell us
and we explode into colour

Wake Up
Me Sep 2019
Stretch
your backbone,
Love,
You' ll need it

defeated and
in corners lie
your enemies

you look through all
your withered poetry and find a piece
that states:

There lie my gorgeous troubles,
the Loveless and the Judges


Breathe out
and know that
you have laboured well
to get this piece of truth
out on the table

that, stubborn and ferocious as you are,
no label will stick hard enough on you
to soak you back into their games

Time to wake up and say
to those who prefer playing
that playing time is over-
that grey suits will not help
to cover up, disguise, a sleeping mind

That, with a BANG, you'll wake them
and make them shake til
every
single
molecule
has chosen to light up
in color.

There go my gorgeous troubles;
the Loveless and the Judges

~
BANG!

You see
Three old men
Sitting on chairs, smoking and
Having a coffee in the sun
And say
These lazy *******
Not realizing
That you are the lazy one
Who lets his freedom,
Voice
And love
*******
Out of fear of
Taking
Responsibility.

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
Me Apr 2019
From it
there reaches out a long
green
arm

and pulls me in, or out

reliably that arm was there
before I was
and knows my mind

There'll be a point when you
exceed a line
of being asked
again
but when it is instead
a well known fact that you
will always answer
yes
I do believe.

From this point on
no grief, no pain or sorrow
will ever knock you
down again

To embrace you -
Nothing else.

Postcard from Here
Me Sep 2019
A pilgrimage does not
start on the pages
you may as well walk
around blocks and into
grocery- and coffee shops

As long as you can say
for sure the way came
from your heart
and you did not
let anyone dictate
a starting point for you

everything's well

Have coffee
cigarettes and cake
on your own path
have everything that makes
the aching fear come
out

Take good advice and
money, wisdom, sweets
take all this from your friends but don't make
doubt to be a thing to take on

And maybe you will meet me
on your way
and maybe we will chat or have
a cup
or maybe you'll walk past
and that is fine with me

And at the end maybe
you ll meet
Yourself
shake hands
embrace
and turn around to see
that is was worth it.
Me May 15
I see you and I write this
To acknowledge
And appreciate your love and pain
And I will do everything
To heal you 🌀♥️

a voice makes the desert trees shake

the hot core within tranquil
this is

the stars' sincere presence
as soothing as ever

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

There is a room
filled with
green light and fog
and it is
unconditional
and it is love
and we are there and you
ask me
what about things like
war
the kid that died
the crimes in 36th street
the beers and that
unpleasant argument last night
are they
outside the room?
I tell you
No
nothing's outside
the room
and if it is
it's cause
you put it there

In a silent
Corner of Universe there sits
A young, shy Figure of light
Knowing

Not absorbs -
Him

He waits there, patiently
But with an eager Heart
Til you give him
The Signal

Eager to Show himself
Before your very own Eyes

Down the Cellar Stairs
Me Jun 2020
I climbed down the
Stairs into
The cellar last night finding
Half of myself on the floor
At the bottom
Listening while
This half could
For the first time
Explain to me what
He did down here
All the time and I could
For the first time comfort
This part that is so
So dear to me
Like I needed to
I think we both
Climbed up the stairs
By now
Together
