when we are close

feeling close is what i need
having someone to wait for me

Foreign Landscapes

Foreign landscapes still
After moving into the wrong direction
try, try, try and
work, work, work

Sonnet #31: Knife

His feelings turn from good to bad to evil
When he is walking by the riverside
As he’s a witness of some brave upheavel
He wants to join it but he needs to hide

Train To Oblivion / Zug ins Vergessen

Riding the train to oblivion
The land of the trapped without oxygen

Sonnet #26: Aurora

The heavens fall for clearer nights to come
Unsettling for the inner freedom’s past
While darkness covers Earth to frighten some
The Northern Lights in green and blue move fast

Sonnet #25: Peace

When every drop of hope seemed spilled with ease
By narrow minded people without thinking
The enemies of freedom make their peace
Don’t hesitate to drop your glass of drinking

Necessary Evil / Notwendiges Übel

The wheels rattle over the cobblestones like lasers dig into tattooed skin. Removing what should no longer be there. I already know that.

Loitering Without Intent

Standing still
Drawn into a picture
That wouldn’t move
But I was moved

That Special Smell At Any Corner

Berlin is dirty
Berlin is loud
Berlin makes promises
Look at those clouds

Berlin After Sunday

Passengers passing by
Some with masks
Some without them
The daylight hits the soul
