In the quiet corners of my mind,
echoes linger,
words unspoken,
wrapped in shadows,
like whispers lost in the wind.
I reach,
fingers tracing the outlines
of invisible thoughts,
yearning for a glance,
......
I spend days thinking of you
And nights dreaming of you
Your smiling image is stuck in my eyes
And your voice is buzzing in my ears
It’s fascinating after so many years
I’m still reminiscing of your sweet apple pies
When you used to spoon-feed me
And wipe my lips with kisses of honey.
I tried to forget you, to move on
......
It sprouted from unseeming waters
Grew so large making me afraid
Afraid of ever loosing it
The thought of it suffocating
But hope I have
Of a long journey together
One which is neverending
From seconds to years
Treasuring the time spent
And memories never to be lent
......
How long will I live with this?
My heartaches are too much
Every day I wake up with numbness
And every night, I end up in tears
On my pillow
There's nothing new about this
It happens day after day
Only a voice will wake my happiness
If it is yours, please, let it be so
Thinking about the one I saw in my imagination,
A kiss carried by the east wind,
Shook my body, trembled my existence.
In the garden, I dozed off in her chest,
Her words engraved in my soul,
Her lips sealed in my aching heart.
Once I was starling voice at dawn,
A flock of chimed echoes on my tongue,
Wheezing whistles on choralled lawn,
Each verse a mimic so sweetly sung.
Now I’m a lyrebird lost in the brush,
Framing my solos in shadowed boughs,
With heart unfolding in trembling rush,
A lonesome lilting with hidden vows.

Blasse Sommerluft
streichelt mein altes Fenster
Kindheit duftet sacht
aus vergilbten Tagebüchern
weint das Lachen von einst.
Whispers of a place,
I have never truly known-
still,my heart aches there
where the sky folds into mist,
and dreams remember my name.
In the silence of my time,
You came and turned my world upside down.
O girl, let us stop and weep,
For we saw each other on the marble stairs,
Let us go home and kiss.
In the silence of my time
I felt your body against mine.
You shone like a diamond,
You flew like a swan,
......
Thinking about the one I saw in my imagination,
A kiss carried by the east wind,
Shook my body, trembled my existence.
In the garden, I dozed off in her chest,
Her words engraved in my soul,
Her lips sealed in my aching heart.
