sleepily thinking of you
reaching out my hand towards
the empty place by my side
knowing your thoughts
are not longer with me
poem
Apart
moon
colourless
so far, so near
lovers
apart
Breeze
gentle zephyr
fugacious kiss
touching lips
entangled hands
playful caresses
deep ardour
your embrace
surrounding me
Nacht Gang
träume – nachtgang durch
landschaften von andersheit
deine hand in meiner
komm! hör den herzschlag
spür meine melodie
schau meine gedanken

your hand in mine
come, listen to heartbeats
feel my tune, see my thoughts

Anmerkung eines Augenblicks
Seltsam, deine Tinte
in meinem Schreibbuch zu finden
die Spuren deiner Füllfeder
in meiner Handschrift zu lesen…
Erinnerst du
diesen Augenblick…
Anmerkung eines Augenblicks
English version: Traces of a Moment
Traces of a Moment
So strange to find
this special ink in my notebook
reading the traces of your fountain pen
written down by my own hand.
Do you remember
this blink of a moment…
German version: Anmerkung eines Augenblicks
Haiku: After Sunset
starry summer night
don’t you hear my song anymore
sad melancholy
Haiku: Sunny Eyes
sunny eyes, sad soul
only love seizes the truth
in a moment’s gaze
Haiku: Lush Roses
lush roses blooming
an intense scent of love
sweet sweat in the air
Haiku: Dark Heart
dark curtains, hot lips
wandering hands, bodies touch
soul fusion, heart break
Haiku: False Dreams
false cricket chirping
touching skins, blurred memories
forsaken bodies
Haiku: Breeze of Sorrows
burning summer breeze
cats lazily chewing birds
merciless sorrows
Tanka: Enticing Melodies
green mead, frail blooming
birds’ enticing melodies
when you grasped my hand
dragging me into your dreams
swift overwhelming journey
Haiku: Night’s Clarity
distant tune creeping
into flesh, night’s clarity
throbbing heartbeat hurts
