There Is a Fence In My Bed
A 38th parallel separates our pillows
I try to touch her and she bellows
We are like strangers in our own bed
Help me break the Berlin wall in my bed...

My Wall of Berlin
I wish I could tear
down the walls between us, but
everytime I
manage to break some bricks I
need to realize that you
are the one who makes new ones....

Freedom's Perfect Recipe
we will be free

humanity is learning

at superspeed

the fall of the berlin wall

together with smartphones and facebook

free trade agreements

and crushing crisis

perfect recipe

for freedom....

A free-spirited soprano from Berlin,
Would delight in drinking a bottle of gin,
     She would then test her voice
      With her highest note choice
  And try to shatter the bottle it was in....

(To the tune of My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean)

For six thousand bucks, O'Dewey and Cheetum
Will have your book sold from Leeds to Berlin
They've closed shop and now party in Vegas
Lord, how the money rolls in!

Premium Member Definitely Not Rummy
There was a young chap from Berlin
Who stressed lack of sleep was a sin
He would get out of bed
On condition, he said,
That breakfast included dry gin.

The Startled Flight
"J'adore le genre de personne d'avoir 
 une maison pleine de canines!

Vouloir glissent sur les nuages 
 en Berlin!

Pour les nuages me guidera - 
 vers un nouveau chemin!

Les Montagnes et les vol qui 
 me guide...

Les nuages et le vol qui
 me guide..."...

Her
I want to taste her.
Not anyone specifically,
I just crave to know 
what it all could really mean.
I would fall for her. Knock down these Berlin sized walls I have up. But my world sucks because Her is just a figurative way of discribing something that may never come....

Larks Fall
A lark smiles and chats
With sunrays in Ankara 
Hunter shoots it dead

Vengeance in a truck
Mows down people in Berlin
In Christmas shopping

Pain in pink ribbons
Thorns in vengeful souls stubborn
Sun and moon look on

Premium Member reindeer fly a new hybrid
Biologists and zoologists from Tokyo to Berlin worked on a new hybrid.
Unaware she was unique to the world, reindeerfly zoomed in the night sky.
Her hooves were sharply pointed, her wings were delicate said Fred.
Botanists and chemists were in awe, in disbelief as we saw her fly by....

Grosse Hamburger Strasse
While I clung on the 
memory of yours, while I 
waited for your noise 

to make I was stopped 
by the motionless on the 
Grosse Hamburger Strasse.

Berlin became my 
second skin and I happened
to turn into a 

pale improbable
heartmark on its murky and 
woe-coloured pavement....

Fernsehturm In Berlin
On the sky's hummock
she is like a ziggurat; 
a gardener of 

stars who takes care of 
their shining watching over 
their sparkling glimpses.

My only hope that 
maybe she intend to look
after our little

and unfortunate 
star too. The dim one under 
whom our love was born to beam....

In Berlin
In Berlin, like dust
we arrive riding on grim 
winds and then, when our

feet touch the ground, 
our shadows become one with 
the dancing shades of

Alexanderplatz
on a stormy Monday Eve
we, at last, gather 

our shattered pieces
to make ourselves whole again.
For in Berlin, we find peace....

Der Flug Nach Deutschland
Boston is for leaving.
Torgau is for brothers
Weimar is for mourners.
Dresden is for lovers.

Leipzig is for players. 
Meissen is for Sisyphus.
Frankfurt is for patience.
Berlin is for the two of us.

Ride the bus down,
board the flight across the earth.
fly "der Flug nach Deutschland"
and hold on for what it's worth....
