Poem 1

My heart has two names And a couple places to live Four beautiful blue eyes And any of them can be seen One feeling came first Along with the youth The other would come later Blossom into adulthood Winter and summer, Holding each other under Christmas lights, Sand lighten by the stars in an August night One gave me freedom The other built my cage I wouldn’t be able to leave it Not until today Two continents, inconsolable differences, Tradition, toughness, cold hearts A different way, a different mood Leaves of grass and snowy woods Meine Liebe, mein Shatz My dear or sweetheart I’ll keep you forever In this little piece of art
