Andreas Classen Poems
A red and blue tent on a green meadow,
The luring gypsy becons you in fiery eyed.
The deck has been shuffled and cut for you.
Turn the top card if you dare to see
...
There was the imminent threat of nuclear holocaust and the daily torture of disco.
I could still draw and design with the best of them.
...
My life right now is the grey of a window that just won't load.
Rushing into shapeless things to come
...
The burning marshland beyond Echo Beach:
Noise & screams,
...
(original english version)
A streetlight is my dawn.
They give me therapy for my soul
...
Reheat my corpse with a mo(u) rning shower.
I always knew oysters could be just some sort of cold fish.
...
No means no, so say yes when you mean yes.
I don't want to hear any more no from you that means I do want to
but I may not admit it.
...
Eine Straßenlaterne ist meine Dämmerung.
Sie geben mir Therapie für meine Seele,
Halden als Hügel,
Steinbrüche als Schluchten,
...

The Best Poem Of Andreas Classen
Jonathan
A red and blue tent on a green meadow,
The luring gypsy becons you in fiery eyed.
The deck has been shuffled and cut for you.
Turn the top card if you dare to see
Or stumble on blindly cradeled in dimwit ignorance.
So you choose to catch a glimpse of the undiscovered land.
The crowd howls out your name in the arena of pleasure.
You'll score most - steel balls in spike gloved fist.
Jonathan jumps first.
Charly stole the handle,
Charly don't surf.
Jump to your death to save your brother's life.
He tames the dragon to feed it to the worm -
Only in death he gives the water of life.
Jonathan slays the dragon.
With paralyzed legs you'll never walk alone.
Coach says: That boy gave a hundred percent. What spirit, what a man!
Charly will carry you to kingdom come.
You'll never jump alone.
