Best Gerhard Poems

chilled souls demands constantly for war
continuously seeking the path of evil
will to power overgrows their being
dark shadows threaten in black clouds
on their grim ground grows no compassion
hate sow death and destruction in violent acts
grenades don't fit into an enlightened world
angels of light are a harbinger...

Death, existence, come and go,
Like a tidal undertow…
Waves that toss us, winds that blow,
Raging storms and biting snow,
Hunger, anger, joy, and woe,
Hellish heat with burning glow…

Saints and sages ‘in the know’
Quibble bookish quid pro quo.
Artful seekers high and low 
Chase illusions to and fro,
Board their...

the starting point should always be light
rose petals are the romance of life
everyone knows the universal language of love
focus on the melody of simplicity
search the calm lake and not the eddies
stop seeds of inspiration into the earth
in silence as the farmer on an evening field
the...

a tear fights his way through desolation
the purple summer flower is snapped
hope expired to memorial
green fields are hermetically sealed
mud splashes fouling soft cheeks
the worst in humanity has been reached
childhood dreams buried by cruelty
salt burns painful in bleeding wounds
monsters shuffling around
nailing hard steel in bare walls
behind...

the present hides itself secretly
behind invisible walls of fantasy
my fingertips explore a statue
so vividly before me
I bury my fear among the pedestal
and you can come from your base
find a resting place on my warm grounds
let the bronze melt into love
reveal the emerald color of your...

I recognize your inner blossom
the desire to grow blooms luxuriant
future buds along the love-river
sunlight resident in hopeful hours
every caress becomes a golden memory
in a waterfall of heart-desires
old shady places are left
at a birds-flight of joy
wait translates itself into drops full of pine
on a wild sea...

time crawls like a spy through lives
sneaks unwavering through the undergrowth
only the deepest can handle it
rusted nails hide in knots
we move into a hologram of suffering
where observations give us wings to growth
I met you on the hill of unity
where emotions turn in reflection
under the banner...

CHRISTMAS ALLITERATION

Silent snowflakes softly fall,
Whispering wishes, one and all.
Brightly burning Christmas cheer,
Melodies of rejoicing reaching the ear.4

Twinkling tinsel, trim the tree,
Gleaming glittering lights, so merrily.
Sleigh bells sing, as reindeer roam,
Through frosty fields they joyfully comb.8

Warmth and wonder in wintry air,
Crisp and cold, without despair.
Candles glowing,...

from remote distances sounds the cry of hope
I hear your voice straight through all the despair 
as a guide that leads near capriciousness
you show your balance in dance gestures
before my face you rise like an angel
your echo resounds love above distant rice fields
sons and daughters...

lightworkers slowly change the world
the autumn-sun shines heat-rays in depth
time is just locked from our peace
awareness moves breath to universe
you live in a world of your own creation
positive thoughts flourish on a divine way
cosmos combines strength in every life-cell
wonderful view sees the beauty in nature
everything...

love expecting the soft talk
the sultry and hoarse from the whispering voice
a comforting word near the evening-lake
where treetops cast their rest
memories reflects in blue
portraits regain the good times
I offer you the archives of my soul
the images of the past move underground
every life-picture knows dearness
sensitive and...

red autumn-light caresses deep feelings
I explore your face tenderly and affectionately
every place deserves warmth and attention
I gently wipe the tears from your cheek
drape you with deep comfort my sweetheart
free yourself from the cage of your pain
experience the autumn silence with me
and bend rusty bars of...

What the papers didn’t say

We read the octopus is an intelligent animal, I’m not sure if this is true but they can be trained to
play with dipping bottles filled with water. The sinister side is the female octopus, who after sex 
takes her partner's fertilizing...
