Various Thoughts at Different Times


April 28th, 2001
winter so cold *
        nature so bold
i'm feeling so old *
        and drowning in sorrow
that my life has to end *
        don't know where to go
my confusion is endless *
        and i feel so defendless
so vulnerable *
        and in despair
have not explored all that i wanted *
        am not ready to sink into non-existence
into this never never ever *
        have no more resistance


April 28th, 2001
youth is gone *
        innocence being killed
maturity set in *
        just to begin
anew *
        approaching the golden years
and there are only fears *
        consuming my every being
not seeing *
        any future ahead
so i've made my bed *
        as they said ...


April 28th, 2001
summer outside *
        embracing everything around
except me *
        i am an outsider
looking in *
        inventing a second existence
a world of what could have been *
        and is no more.
fantasies are playing wild *
        in my heart, in my mind
their outcome not always kind *
        pity on me
but why should this be? *


April 28th, 2001
my inside is hot *
        i'm in rage a lot
can't deal with it *
        am restless
feel reckless *
        want to run my fist through the window
hurting myself *
        while tears are falling
down my face *
        need drugs to dull the pain
of being mortal *
        and what's to face
torture so overwhelming *
        my soul is in pain
why why why *
        is this happening to me ...


June 29th, 2015
my time has run out*
        nothing to talk about
endless silence*
        surrounding my heart
and make me part*
        of NOTHING ...


June 24th, 2015
a blind man who can see*
        his priorities re-arranged
his senses heightened*
        his feelings stronger then ever
who else can he now be*
        to me
the same - I didn't change*
        I accepted this reality
and so did he*
        with grace and sensitivity
it makes no difference to me*
        never ever
although his heart is broken*
        his mind is strong
remaining is hope*
        he wants to belong
to the one he loves*
        who cannot give
what he desires*
        too late, too soon?
standing yet on another crossroad again*
        life repeating itself
over and over again*
        it will never end
it just will never end ...*


June 14th, 2015
oh my dear god*
        I am falling apart
of what I have learned*
        and no wisdom gained
for what I have yearned*
        definitely not for the faint ...


June 8th, 2015
I FEEL LIKE A WRITER, A HUNTER, A POET, A PAINTER, A MUSICIAN *
        NOT BEING IN THE POSITION
OF BEING EITHER ONE *
        TO TURN MY SOUL LOOSE IN ALL THIS MADNESS AROUND ME
TO BE OR NOT TO BE *
        LIKE SHAKESPEARE CITATES
TO BE ONLY ME *
        IS THAT ENOUGH TO BE FREE
OF MYSELF?*


June 10th, 2015
feeling you is feeling me*
        tasting you is tasting me
all of you is all of me*
        will we drown
or will we breathe*
        will we frown
or be at ease*
        stronger then a hurricane
will it ever be the same*
        will it last until we die
or will we fry*
        in our passion for each other
no matter the reality*
        it is going to be
it is going to be*
        I am your dream lost at sea
do come and rescue me*


July 2015
YOU ARE MY PAGANINI *
        I AM YOUR SYMPHONY
YOU ARE MY VIOLIN *
        I AM YOUR BLUES
TOGETHER WE WILL WRITE HISTORY *
        AND ALL THE WORLD NEWS
WE ARE DREAMING TOGETHER *
        NEVER MIND THE WEATHER
OUR SONG WILL SOAR *
        FOR EVERYONE TO HEAR
BECAUSE YOU ARE SO NEAR *
        TO ME


July 2015
his eyes are dead *
        the life he led
the price he paid *
        is living life by the drop
and nothing will make him ever stop *
        NOTHING ...


July 15th, 2015
I am what I am *
        I am what I am not
I am a chameleon *
        which changes a lot
its colors, its terrain *
        They are never the same
I am a kitten *
        I am a lion
And I am dying to let you know *
        that you've never seen this kind of show
BEFORE ..*


July 15th, 2015
DON'T TRUST *
        EVEN YOURSELF
IS THAT A WAY TO LIVE *
        TO PUT EVERYTHING ON A SHELF
BACK INTO THE CLOSET *
        AND LOCKING THE DOOR
PUTTING A GUARD *
        AROUND YOUR HEART
NOT BEING ALIVE *
        NOT CARING
REGARDLESS WHO *
        REGARDLESS WHAT
AND KEEP LIFE'S DOOR *
        FOREVER SHUT


July 15th, 2015
I still can have my cake *
        And eat it too
I thought the matter thoroughly through *
        This time I will pretend
Again *
        I've always done
Why change now? *
        But can I live
My tortured soul *
        Nothing making me whole
To be a shadow of a ghost *
        To put on a show
I really can't host?*


July 15th, 2015
Why so dark my friend *
        You wallow in self pity
Me *
        Happiness is no guarantee
in our lives ...*
        October 2015 –
it was a vision of the past *
        not ever going to last
not even a moment *
        in our turbulent world
so so far away *
        had nothing important to say
except unimaginable lies *
        adding confusion
made no contribution *
        no impact
leaving nothing behind *
        not even a breath
a shade to mankind *
        no terrible loss
it didn't exist *
        it was an invention of a dream
of nothing after all *
        it was infatuation one wanted
not brutal reality *
        couldn't one see
I was chasing the wrong tree?*


October 2015
thunder clouds *
        grey to darker than black
confusing forms of danger *
        looming at the horizon
waiting to strike *
        the innocent and lonely
the helpless and non*
        heltered
gripping tight on what's to come *
        surreal blending stripes
racing across the sky *
        unexpectedly
a song arises *
        a choir lamenting
sounds so strange *
        yet so inviting
a sudden bolt of lightness *
        growling of the heavens
a melody so striking *
        empowering nature
to fight this spectacle of thunder and lightening *
        a sudden hush filling the air
waiting for the next disaster *
        bending down in waiting
like a bride for the groom *
        and there it is
frightening close *
        all the nerves on earth are shaking
will this threat ever go away? *
        no no bellows odin
your are mine forever *
        I am the power
I am the god *
        I am your past
settle down with me *
        until the morning sun will arise like a fireball
erasing the darkness *
        burning off your fear
sounds of silence *
        so very very near
where are you mother of light *
        have you abandoned the night
and wiped away the darkness? *
        I am waiting ...
