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 heart
I want to love you endlessly
free your soul from petrified tears
and immortalize you in my fire

@ Bianca & Gerhard...

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 full of emotion
this storm will never lie
and I reap the fruits of your tree

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 scenes reigns vipers
ruthless sounds die away in the cosmos

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 felt in the language
a hug and understanding are worth gold
nostalgia mixes with desire

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 of universal truth
your love encapsulated in resonance
indisputably the most beautiful thing that is conceivable
two travelers on the way to their destination

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 fatigue
enter the meadow where compassion is alive
and see the presence of affection
my treasure will know no end
I breathe in the name of enlightenment
