Philipp Reis (Deutsch/ English/ Español   (Sentanka)

Übertragung von Sprache
Mit den einfachsten Mitteln
Über große Entfernung 

Versagt blieb ihm der Erfolg
Viel zu früh kam sein Tod


Transmission of  voice
By using the simplest means
Over long distances 

Success...

..for him 

   A little something in the 
 scintilla of soporific smiles you left me
 beneath dulcet gazing twirls
  of ballerina stars amongst a moonlit lullaby,
 sitting in the quixotic corners...

There’s a burning yen nomadic deep within entrenched,
to absorb fresh environments ambrosial on foot,
where incidental hue or august colour wash abound,
or that March bloom tantalising shady patch,
with its dreamlike mystic wide-flung allure,
some blue pigment dawn...

There is an urge within me to wander randomly,
to explore in vivid detail each kaleidoscope,
incidental hue or pristine colour I encounter,
or just as likely that tantalising shady patch,
with its dreamlike mystical allure so faraway,
this blue...

Emotional sequestration perseverates
     across thine time warped
     weft wise wold,
sans interpersonal stagnation

     flourishes as oft twice told
tale a boat amidst derelict hollowed

At age three she was the baby who couldn't feel afraid
A life track was set out, just the way she was made
They tested her at eighteen, with images of blood and gore
No galvanic skin response,...

Night falls in neon showers
Here in the nocturnal simmer of summer
slick city blacktops spark electric.

The juiced-up take to their cars,
pull into fast food haunts
where glazed eyes
return to two-way mirrors,
others fall without noticing
into a numb subliminal...

The air was metallic,
it had the taste of long spilled blood,
the smell of copper pennies.

A red-eyed sky prowled through bare trees
wind-smears sizzled over steel pylons,
a galvanic hissing ignited unseen frights.

Heat and cold were deranged
by magnetic...

When Nature frees the lotus
   (This year's debut emergence)
      From their sleeping seeds,
   When they begin to cress the surface,

I shall stand with broadened smile,

As if Old Father Time cast down his hoary gaze
to shed a tear of amber upon the world,
to freeze on canvas this instant of perfection,
this loving shadowplay of aged man and young girl.

Galvanic analgesia 
Settled my 
Nervous jangle, keys 
Rattled in echo chambers 
Ravaged the still of the 
Sultry craven day 
And the nocturnal torpor. 

Abided hush in cotton wool, 
Silenced by her aura, 
Dampened me down,...

Peering into my rear mirror,
Galvanic glitter diminishes into
The blind side. No longer tantalizing,
Runic tunes can't tickle my tongue.

Over crystal clear aquamarine under
Robin egg sky, mighty eagles fly high.
I hear nested birds - Chirp!

As skewered wind...

Beyond traveling miracles of disbelief

Resides a current carrying a leaf

Echoed in caves ravishingly defined

Ablazed memories trailing behind 

Topaz fields lingering mineral scents

Haikus of nature with concurring assents

Transcending divinity allured by magnets

Amorous affection drawn...
