An empty pit
It is not hunger, it’s not thirst
An empty pit, I thought at first
But it is filled with hot cold air
A feeling not easy to bear
Climbs from the stomach to the throat
Like this one song I never wrote.
Give me my peace, I beg you kind
Have been long stupid, also blind
That I forgot to run away
And then you called and you said „Hej
Will you drink with me tonight
The stars are beautiful and bright“.
Friend, what are you doing with my heart
Is it all worth it, all the art
I can create because of pain
This just drives you and me insane.
Confess, I do remember well
Smoking hot lips and your hair’s smell
The night seemed endless every time
You got the vodka, I the lime
And then we danced and also kissed
Memory hits me with her fist
And then we walked along the night
Drunk till the early morning light
And we arrived right at your bed
Where you my lips and my hips fed
You loved the music more than me
I still can feel the jealousy.
Friend, what are you doing with my heart
Is it all worth it, all the art
I can create because of pain
This just drives you and me insane.
Today, it seems, centuries have passed
You are a memory at last
My mind just wants to make me feel
As if all this was never real
A dream from someone else’s sleep
the first love cuts and it cuts deep.
My body still can feel your thrill
And even if I do not will
I keep on meeting you in dreams
Too often, even though it seems
I like to feel this hot cold air
A feeling not easy to bear.
Friend, what are you doing with my heart
Is it all worth it, all the art
I can create because of pain
This just drives you and me insane.

Endlicher Sommer
Sie geht aus der Haustür
Die Sonne scheint hell
Der Wind reißt am Kleid ihr
Der Schritt wird jetzt schnell.
Sie breitet die Arme
Wie ein Lächeln aus
Und fliegt mit dem Wind
In Gedanken voraus.
Der Tag bringt den Wechsel
Sturm, Regen und Licht
Und wenns auch noch warm ist
Nach Sommer schmeckts nicht.
Der Herbst ist im Kommen
Das ist jetzt ganz klar
Zeit um zu Danken
Wie schön Sommer war.
Spazieren und schwimmen
Barfuss und am Strand
Unter Sternen gelegen
mit ihm an der Hand.
Zeit um zu schweifen
Durch Stadt, Land und Feld
Besuche bei Freunden
Was kostet die Welt.
Doch bald werden dunkler
Der Tag und’s Gemüt
Sie wird es noch wissen
Wie alles geblüht.
Den Wein will sie trinken
Den Sommer gebraut
Die herrlichsten Farben
Sie leuchten so laut.
Der Herbst, der darf kommen
Sie spürt es genau
Denn Farben sie leuchten
Besonders im Grau.

Daydream at night
And then I remember I stood in the field
Sun tinted sky all gold and I healed
Soft blue corn flowers were all I could see
All pain and all sorrow lost hold of me.
It seemd like a dream, as I walked through the wheat
Until I felt water touching my feet
I opened my arms and I swam through the pond
Where I then found the magical wand.
And all that I touched and all that I saw
Could heal as well, and death lost it’s claw.
Humans stopped fighting, earth silently sighed
When all wars ended and all envy died.
Cornflower’s blue turned dark and I found
All things and beings, maginficent sound
Night stars appeard, the moon showed his face
Saw humans dance, with peace and with grace.
A symphony played by dreams and the love
I will always have for all the above
For humans and flowers, the sun, stars and moon
Sleep, make me sleeping, not wake up too soon.

Poem to an unfinished painting
​
To look at you
oh, to look at you
oh, to look at you
oh you, my wonderful muse,
my pain, my joy, my mirror
my vanity, my tragedy
my sin and my salvation
To look at you
just to look at you
oh, look at you
look,
how the sun reflects on your skin
how the stars sparkle in your eyes.
how the rain lingers in your hair
look
look
how they draw you in delicate lines
how they paint you in techno-colors
how they mold you in white clay
I look at you
in the surface of the pond
I look at you
in the windows of the mall
I look at you
in the rearview mirror.
I look …
at me.
