Sometimes it scares me
How fast these waters rushing
Sometimes it stuns me
How the people keep hushing me down
...

It is a chilly morning
as i lie under these
blankets paging through
my dreams to find
...

I am a wild garden
Untamed and oh so free
Been sitting here
With the moon and the cats
...

You simply love to love
And your earth brings out my heaven

Your finger tips
...

Birds
calling back and forth.
The water is still
reflecting the sky and trees.
...

Silence is a journey
Over which my heart it travels
Great distances
Dark landscapes,
...

Last night
I dreamed with you
Running my fingers
Through your fine hair
...

Oh moon
Who hangs in the sky
I wake up late—
the sun hasAlready risen,
...

Thinking of you
You´re simply in my thoughts
It's raining outside
And with every raindrop
...

early morning wake-up
the sound of an oven heating
stale baquette.
I have not written in over one year
...

Radio babble babble -
Desk swept clear. Yesterday's table.
He had dinner with me last night.
Proper...yes, ever so proper was he.
...

Sunday evening
Standing on the balcony,
Scenes of India slowly pass in front of me
Telling me a story of another time
...

Earth red and sun glows
We´re searching for real gold
I know holding you´re thoughts
Knowing you´re with me
...

In a world where dreams have slipped away
All our sorrows come to stay
I believe in this one single word
...

Crystal flakes
Catch on tongues
Lying in await
Hurried people
...

moment of moments
love overflowing
moon which shines
dancing
...

You are my oak
You are my poem
You are my willow
...

I take your eyes with me to the park
Words come pouring through me
Am I the vessel for your words?
Are you the vessel for the the images I see?
...

Picking up dead brittle flowers along the dirt road
Crushing them. Throwing them gently to the North Wind.

BLUE... the shadow of dust lining your petals.
...

Crystal rain
All is silent
Clock ticks
3 different times
...
