Long Bist Poems

Under the cadence of footsteps on worn cobblestones,
At the café where steaming cups held time hostage,
Eyes met and lingered, a glance stretched into an eternity.
A young American, as if sculpted from sunshine itself,
And she, like...

The English is followed by the German original
 
I should have kissed when I had the chance
Taken you with both hands, held you closely while we danced
I should told you that I miss your smile

My chair, 
at times over 
the past twelve weeks
my prison cell. 
Seven weeks more 
before my sentence
is completed.

my chair is going to be
my time machine.

Not flashy and gaudy,
with a Christmas display
of flashing, colorful...

I bring this stone,
so smooth as ebony,
so you are not alone
and in my memory.
As it once was,
when we were family.


Your grave,
a nameless place
between some lonely birch-trees
and some fern,

Ich sehe dich an
im Sterben
du wartest nur ab
nichts essen
Mir wirst du fehlen
Mir ist doch langweilig

nichts essen
weil wir dir Gesellschaft leisten
du brauchst sie aber nicht
denn du schläfst
wirst nie erwachen
du...

Schmerz, den ich nicht glauben wollte. 
Denn ich wusste nichts von deinen Mühen;
wie verloren du bist in deinem Bild.

In deiner Hand war Komfort eingraviert,
wie süchtig du die Schwachen...

The sparring mind requires a venue fit
for wide ambition’s pointed blade—the craze
of poignant poetry’s unbridled wit.—
Masked)by the wily writer’s wire-meshed gaze,

the soul unleashes on the stage of writ 
a flurry of pen strokes, a wanton...

Baby Ich Liebe Dich so wie du bist,
So perfekt, so wie du mich glucklich machen.

We are miles apart,
Ocean seperates us both,
These feelings of mine,
are for you.

I wish I could be closer,
to figure everything out.
When we first met,
it was too short.

And you were so beatiful. 
Thought I died and went...
