Oh boy, oh boy

Oh boy, oh boy
Whats been happening
The year flew by
In just a sly

Moment

Yet to all astonishment
I see it clear
Behind me almost
The lessons where
Not least but foremost
A learning venture
Off hot temperature
As I

Mature

And as I stumbled through

2010

I met the one or other Friend
I met some courage
I had some strive
But last not least
I kept my drive...
And fasten seat belts
Here I come
2011
I'll be a fan!

Burn Witch?

If people think they can do that in the name of God then they

are so wrong. Its just like the churches with their richdom

that get terribly on my nerves. There are so many poor people

in this world suffering! Jesus or God and whoever we

respect in any Religion would not do anything like that. I

think that being a GOOD Christian is being a GOOD Person first

of all, its about sharing and caring and not about killing.

Even today the Bible and other Holy Books are being

misenterpreted. There have been so many Holy Wars aswell, and

what do the Commandments say? Though shallt not KILL!!! Yet

people kill people everyday. What amazes me most of all is

that some people think they can ACT FOR GOD! We cant, we never

have and we never will. People must learn not to be

hypocrites. People must learn to respect what other people

believe! Spirituality we must grow and have much more

understanding for our fellow man who might not be Christian.

People must learn not to be judgemental, because it leads us

nowhere. What we should all remember is that we are all

entwined with each other. From the stars to every living being

on this planet. Any time any tribe, any animal any growing

thing perishes, vanishes from existance we all suffer a great

loss in the chain that binds us together. The Univers is great

and vast and we have a lot to learn. I hope only that everyone

on this planet can be brother and sister, likewise respected

and loved.
I think when we can achieve that, then the Gates

of Heaven will open up and we will understand that we are all

one SPECIES! May these words come to you louder than a

thunderous AMEN!!!

Rivers whispering

There where the rivers whispering runs

Warmed by your eyes more than the sun

Where your gentle hands are holding mine

We sit and talk and tell us what we love

In the river fishes jump with joy

The birds above sing us their lullaby

Oh, how I'd love to be there now

And even, said we not a word all day

Our souls would understand

Resting Soul

Morning Dew

As I open my eyes

and look into the sky

Summer morning

I'm still yawning

I let my thoughts wander

And thank the Lord

Now and every day

For he showed me love

He gave me strength

And when I'm touched

By emotions

My heart reaches out

And I still stand at my window

Look out at the sky

Think of the Lord and the Paradise

Look at the fields of flowers

In their coat of dew

And again my thoughts

Wander of to you

You Lord of the Heavens

You Lord of the Earth

I thank you for this

Beautiful Paradise

The power and the beauty

Every day

Again and again

Amazing

Whistle

I just could'nt figure out how Tom was whisteling.
He slightly opend his mouth and whistled tunes without moving his lips.
I was eight at the time and I dont know what I wanted to prove but I guess I needed to show that girls could whistle too.
On my way home from school I got so carried away with practicing whistling just like Tom.
I stopped at an Appartment  building accross the street from the Tennis Court, and went behind the building in to the garden. I sat on a bench and continued my practice.

At three o'clock I heard the churchbell and thought: Oh my god, Grandma must be worried she expected me home at one o'clock.
What was I going to tell her, that I got carried away trying to learn how to whistle, she'd be mad!
I walked to the street. On my way there I met a couple I had an idea. I walked to the couple and said: "Would you mind walking home with me, I am late and Grandma will be so angry, would you be able to explain to her that I practiced how to whistle? The couple laughed whilst I demonstrated what I had taught myself for the last three hours.
To my Grandmothers astonishment  she openend the door to me and two complete strangers. Grandma was looking at me with a stern look on her face. The strangers then told her what happened and Grandma had to laugh.
When the strangers had left Grandma said: "If you ever decide to learn something again on your way home, try not to get carried away so I dont worry, but most of all don't talk to strangers like that! This time you were lucky and they where nice but you never know dear, you never know!"
I did'nt really know what Grandma meant by "you never know..." Later that evening I was listening to the radio, hearing that a little girl got kidnapped!
I got the message!
I was lucky...I whistled away!

TEARS IN MY EYES

Sometime when I look back
when I look at pictures
on my shelf
tears  run  down my face
for there are so many memories
that never fade from my mind

Now there are only the pictures
no one to touch
though
with all the memories embedded in my mind
I can still feel the touch
of each one I loved
I love

I know the love will never leave
as it has once been
its still clearly here
it has found a place safe
in my heart
in my soul
where all I love sails in freedom

I shall save the love
for you
for me
for everyone
the love that was
the love that comes
no one can come running by and grab it away
from me
its mine to give to you

And even though
one says that love can hurt
I say love cannot hurt
love is a beautiful feeling
sometime its just being there
sharing with others
with a mutual understanding
and caring
about the utter harmony
that lays within
Love

Love is all about sharing
love gives the answer to the question
why am I here
and what do I have to be here for
I am here because of love
and it has been passed down to me by the ancestors

Even love between lovers
cannot hurt
the hurt is only something you self-inflict
because of a loss you cannot bear
but you have to live with it
yet you can drink from the memories
of the moments of love
for even if its not there to touch
it will always touch you

and the tears that run down my face
are not tears of hurt
they are tears of loving memory

I catch them in the cauldron of my hands
I look at them
they sparkle in the light like tiny stars
and in my mind
I make a brew of love for you

tears I wouldn't want to miss them in my eyes
from time to time
because they make me feel alive.

A Tryst with Self...: Whenever You Come

A Tryst with Self...: Whenever You Come

A Tryst with Self...: Potato Chips

A Tryst with Self...: Potato Chips: "I wonder, when and why You buried me in thy soil of lie, Let me spring with joy Ploughed my spirits with trifles of coy Seeded me wit..."

Anything can happen

I heard shooting

shouting

ran out on my balcony

my son on my hand

my daughter on my arm

what was happening

what was going on

my  brother shouted

get down get down

watch out for stray bullets

what was going on

a war?

a government overthrow?

so it was

the military forces had taken over

crying women

screaming children

men afraid to say the wrong things

No water

No electricity

No food

All no good

nothing changed

queues for food

cries of hunger

Military torture

many off to the mortuary

Politicians

even friends

shot dead

what a dread

20th century

Exodus

who ever could fled

went away to a foreign land

to try

to live again

a new beginning with nothing

Homesick

trouble was

Home was sick

wondering even now

after 28 years

how many people suffered this

who live in exile still today

I presume it will always be hard to say

and still today

some people suffer these same things

somehow somewhere

on this planet

and if I could and would be mighty

I'd spread the word of love

so father hear me you great God

let them hear the word of love you have

let them see that killing is so wrong to be

put down all weapons

Let it be...

PEACE ON EARTH

Crossroad

I'm at a crossroad
confused

I have no answers
nor could my soul find solutions

I feel the heat of truthful approach
rising from my sincere desire
to share for life, build friendship and love

I fan from within me the embers of passions flame
The love, the love I feel for him
dream of how it would be together
all dreams, all fantasies and yet the thought...

I feel the sting of emotions
like a poisoned arrow
shoot through my innocent heart
I cry to gather my broken spirit

My heart burns yet I choose to laugh
I will laugh for my love
I will laugh for the decency of my heart
and tomorrow will be as bright as it should

I rest pure and sincere
honesty brighter than celestial stars
I need to pass this twilight zone
still my heart is filled with romantic folly
as I succumb to his every wish

He is my soul-mate
my love for him truer than I say
I bow in grace to him

I will walk through the desert
to find a fountain with water
to cool me from this temptation
of wanting to be with him

but not even that can calm me down
only he can brighten my route
I feel the bitterness of love
but he came to sweeten my youth

I know what honour is
and his achievements must be honoured
bless him with pure adoration

And my laughter is stronger than
a thunderous Amen...

My Soul is drowning

Here I sit
On my bed
Stark naked
Only my blanket
Giving me warmth
Whereas it is you
I want
To give me warmth
To kiss my tears
Away
Though they are invisible
To the naked eye
My tears
Yet my soul is drowning
In them

It went to far
And now you don't know why
And now you don't know how
And now I don't know why
And now I don't know how

We seemed soul mates
We were one
Now the birds don't sing anymore
The fish have drowned
The wind Is still
The ocean not in motion
The leaves don't move
All is like a stand still

With the wish
To turn back the time
With you...

Beneath the skin

Pure as the sun that burns my skin
the scent fresh, tangy, sweet
The blood of youth washed away
into yesterday
Yet my heart wispers sweet words
of love to me
You're the one who sent them here
for me to hear
I wander around searching for my soul
tarnished by the hurt I had to hold
Hoping to escape this torment for
eternity
Where can I shed my sainted skin
Just close my eyes
and escape to paradise

Let me touch your face
to make sure you're real
Let me taste your tears
to make sure that you feel
Let me swim in your eyes
to make sure you're true
Let me drown in your kisses
to be sure of your love
Let me hold your hands
to be sure it's me you want
Let me in your world
cause mine has faded away
Let me in, please let me in, please let me in...
Beneath the skin

African Revolution

I stand at the ocean regarding the horizon

It takes me far across the sea

vivid vegetation, forests miles high

hills, vision never ending

the endless wide open roof of heaven

not cramped like over here

but here the stary nights of winter

would compensate the ones I missed

"Hey can't you watch your step!"

I hear in my mind  as I recalled

a  soldier grabbing a young man by the shoulder

"Move, get down, 40 sit ups!"

"I, I AM, I AM THE UNIFORM" and you are nothing

...and in my head 'not true when we cut we bleed'

ITS ALWAYS RED...!!!

Soldier cussing the boy

more soldiers getting off a van

people gather to see what's

HAPPENING!!!

me among

"Get up, stand on your head"

said soldier to victim

the boy was being tortured

made to nothing but a number

the boy showing fear and anger

I hear my voice:

"Why do you do that?"

"What did he do?"

"SHUT UP"

"He stole from the store!"

I hear my voice:

"NEVER, saw him pay right infront of me

I was there I swear!"

"IF YOU DON'T SHUT UP I'LL ARREST YOU!"

I ran away  20 soldiers after me...

I was quick, I was young, I was gone

nothing I could do

but  the commotion did...

he was quick, he was young, he was gone

I hid, heard footsteps

the door

my mom

"Come to the office, dad wants to speak to you!"

"What for?"

"Let's go, don't worry!"

it echos in my head, not far away across the sea

HELL, UNIFORM in dad's office

"Yes Sir, I want to marry your daughter!"

I turn, SLAM DOOR

Sea of milk

The pale moon shines on us

The room smelling of fresh jasmin

The bed is ready for love

You kneel down beside me

As you kiss my brows

We're both just shy and charming

Kissing mouth to mouth

Gazing in each others eyes

My thighs encircle yours

Carried away by passion

My limbs entwine with yours

Like tendrills of fragrant jasmin creeper

My ankle bracelet rings with pleasure

I draw my limbs together like a bud

Full of desire your sweet words

As you slide into my lotus flower

In gentle rythm we draw taut

In gentle rythm we relax

You grasp my ankles

And fasten them just like a chain

Behind your neck

As we make love

Our hair is soaked with sweat

I coil up like seaweed around your arms

You grasp my tongue between your lips

And dive toward my holy glint

As I drag you down to the bottom of my abyss

You let yourself drown

In the ocean of pleasures

When passion ebbs we rest

Forehead to forehead

Bodies yoked

Not long before

Desire stirs afresh

Clasping each others hands

You grab my waist and pull me close to you

Caressing each other from head to toe

You slide your hands between my thighs

Got me purring like a cuddly cat

Your hands caress my nipples

My hands caressing yours

The flowers dropping from my tousled hair

My giggles turning into gasps

I bend to kiss your tender lips

My nipples pierce your chest

My hips begin to churn

My kiss lingers on your neck

You cup my foot into your palm

And caress your angels limbs

I lean back on the wall

You clinging to my neck

You grip my buttocks with your palms

With sculptors adorn you caress my temple walls

You lock my legs around your waist

I'm sitting in your cradled hands

My arms around your neck

As you sink passionately into me

Embracing me with force

And thus we make love

My seed flows into yours

Your seed flows into mine

We kiss each others secret parts

Our overflowing love temples

I shelter with you

You shelter with me

House by the Sea

In the wake of the morn'

I run barefoot
through the sand
the coast enhanced
by morning light
Seagull flying crying

in the wake of the morn'

The air I breath
fresh and clean
the wind blowing
my hair wild
my eyes clear
my heart full of joy

in the wake of the morn'

You come chasing
me from yonder
in the sand we fall
we cuddle, kiss
sandy skin
fresh and shiny
from the sand

in the wake of the morn'

the sun shining
on you on me
the faithful lovers
your braids tangled
your eyes alight
reflecting your soul

in the wake of the morn'

flood sets in
sea water bath
washes our skin
sinking in our kisses
we get up and run
to our house by the sea

CRY BABE CRY

When you're down and under

thoughts that wander all confused inside your head

think the world is going under

why is it, in all abundance

there are those who must still suffer

just like you

right now

right here

even in the greatest Kingdom

there's still space for purest poorness

when you see not in nor out

when your meal becomes the garbage

when you think all friends have vanished

come cry babe cry

cry your heart out on my shoulder

I shall give you bread fish and shelter

I shall give you all you need
