Excerpt from "Romeopathic Treatment"
Rainstorm
Rain
Pearls down
Like falling
Tears
Distant thunder
Touches painfully
My innermost
And growing fears
Harsh wind
Sweeps leaves
Off soaking ground
You turn to me
In sleep still
Safe and sound
Lightning lights
The bedroom wall
A canon goes off
In the hall
You grab my arm
And hold on tight
Two frightened people
Seeking shelter
In a dark
And stormy night
* * *
New Year's Eve
Staying out
In endlessness
Praying
Giving way
To deeper feelings
Dancing with the waves
That roll ashore
Around our ankles
Bare
My heart
In touch with yours
For a standstill
Moment
A shift in air
Distant stars
Above us gleam
Light knowingly
My magic castle
In a dream
* * *
Sunrise with you
Even though
You can't
Be with me now
I see the sunrise
Through your eyes
The smell of fresh air
Stillness from the forest
Beneath relentless
Cloudless skies
Our spirits dance
Across horizons
Match to form
A golden band
Although
You can't be
With me now
I feel so proud
To be your friend
* * *
My girl
What words
Do I have
To say how much
I love this wind
Floating
Oh so easily
In an endless
Sea of
Senses
I feel the force
Of nature
And a longing
Sensuality
To hear the breeze
Spell out your name
My barefoot girl
My summer
Comes walking
Up the road
To me
The final threshold
Of a dream
Of flying
* * *
Words
Your words
Your
Tender
Loving
Words
I lose
Myself in
To find you
Tonight
The
Tender
Loving
Night
We lose ourselves
In to find
Each other
* * *
Jenny
I see you
In the stars
Tonight
So tenderly
The moon will be
Our satellite
I give my soul
To walk by you
For just tonight
Our world
Comes true
We meet in real
Imagination
* * *
Blue hearts
There is this
Tenderness
This caring
Motion
Of heart-felt joy,
A golden ocean
Filled with memories
Of summer love
Yet
Distant fears
These final parts
Have come to whisper
Through our laughter,
Breaking out
Into the blue,
Blue
Hearts
* * *
Holiday home
It's a
Moment
Of a glimpse
Of knowing
In this house
Dressed to melt
A summer garden
To fireplace
Moonlight
Forgiving
Dreams like
Blinding sun
Flooded rooms
With heart
Love
Came to meet me
In your body
Smells of
Steadiness
And passion
In your hands
I kiss
My fortune
Burning
Secrets
All
In this house
* * *
Fairy
You appear
Dragging your feet
Like a fairy
Like a ghost
In my worn-out
Nightsuit
Frosted eyes yet
Still half closed
I feel the opposite
Of homesick
An instant
Longing to be kissed
To watch
The way
You rub
Your eyes
So sleepily
Using the whole fist
The first black coffee
Of the day
Out on the porch
While the sun already
Rises
With you
I guess
I'm never safe
From unusual
Surprises
* * *
Suicidal trees
I'm
Afraid of you
Afraid
Of hearing your voice
After you have left me
Afraid of thoughts
Of how you're living
On without me
I'm
Hiding in the dark
With candles
And the music to
Which you liked
So much to dance to
I'm dismayed
Facing memories
Of our better times
Contaminating
My possible future
Afraid of
Suicidal tendencies
Scaring my wounded soul
To hell
I'm afraid
Of trees
Falling down
When the birds
Have left
For winter
* * *
Racing
Riding the wind,
Wide eyed surfing
The lights in darkness,
Mechanically suppressing the urge
To throw the head backwards
To become ONE
With the breathing
Tempting distance,
A speeding flip of intimacy,
Searching arms flung eagerly
Around me, craving
For completion
WE,
The living rocket
Once calmly released,
Breaking irresistibly
Through barrages at the boarder,
Compass needles whirling
Through a black magnetic field
* * *
Not a tear
Not a tear
I remember
Clouds of stupidity
And love above
The sunshine job
Not a black
I remember
Except for the nights
Flying
A matter of perspective
Of landing
The direction
I remember
Yet convinced
I gave you everything
Not a tear
