Two of my poems:


This day


Take a good look at the date
Only once you live this day
It’s a small piece of your fate
That can be used and also may
Be filled with joy and will to strive
So the deeds of today tomorrow will be
Proud and encouraging memory
It’s up to you, your inner drive


Rejoice when you’re looking at the light
Rejoice when you hear the wild wind blow
Thank God who gave you sense and sight,
A heart to love, a mind to grow


Gladden those who are in sorrow clad
And make them understand
That life is too precious to stay sad
There always is a new ascent
Fight for what you feel is right
Help those who need a helping hand
Be loyal to comrades by your side
And keep the faith right to the end




The deciding feeling


The sense of life
Cannot be found with the mind
The sense of life
Only your soul can find
The luck to love
Cannot be invented
The luck to love
Only your heart can tend it
To be loved
Cannot be won by force
But your own love
Can be the source




PS I already posted these poems at different places (with other pseudonyms or my real name).

I add some more poems (juvenile ones, written long ago) which I posted on another site where I can't find them now – so this will be a secure haven.


It’s over


The ending of a heartfelt love
Is like enduring a dark death
It’s as if all light died above
It makes you feel the abyss’ breath
It’s a farewell of souls forever
It’s an ice-cold hand touching your soul
Whose merciless haunting endeavour
Lets hope-killing shock take control


It leaves your soul so naked and cold
It crushes your chest and your heart
Ahead you can see the black future unfold
And you wish you would depart


To let her go is easily said
But it’s cruel all in all
It comes the time you wish you were dead
And you just feel your free fall


Open up your wings, my soul
And raise yourself to newborn hope
Throw off this grief that took its toll
That blinded you and made you grope
Fly to the light, to the sun
Let your innermost darkness behind
Leave the tracks where your thoughts have run
And let your feelings unwind




I do regret


Only now can I see
What you mean to me
Once we were one
But now you are gone
But when you did go
I did not yet know
That my life would be
So empty and lonely


I could have stopped you that night
Could have hold you tight
But my pride won the fight


Please come back, come back to me
Please come back, come back to see
That I have changed, and have changed my mind
I won’t be tough but understanding and kind
Please come back and heal my heart
Let us make a second start




Primordium?


Did I awake inside a dream?
Do I see mind-wrought reality?
Is this just another dream,
And the rim of my own fantasy?


All I see seems known to me
And I feel joyful like an elf
It’s all enchanted that I see
Is it the world? Is it my self?




Xanthe


No book tells as much
As one of your smiles
It’s a lasting touch
That enchants and beguiles
My heart into dreams
It’s making me feel your soul’s embrace
And your sparkling eye’s bright beams
Are putting a smile upon my face


Intuition at hand I walk through my life
But doubts and questions seem so rife
What is my duty? What are my rights?
Where do I find beauty? How to stand all the fights?
What is for real? What’s only show?
What do I just feel? And what do I know?
One thing that’s for sure
Is that I love you
And I don’t only know it
I’m feeling it, too
There’s a tingling inside
And pressure on my chest
My heart’s beating fast
I can find no rest


Love is just a little word
But now that its demand was heard
It takes me away like a mighty bird
To a place where our souls unite
Where all is pleasure and delight




A picture of beauty


You are like a princess, nice
Your rosy mouth is so delighting
You have fascinating angel’s eyes
And their expression is exciting


You’re like the morning
Fresh and bright
You’re like the sunshine
Warm and polite
You’re as light as a feather
Dancing in the sun
In the dreamlike weather
Which for good has begun


You came out of a fairy-tale
For you greet, and praise, and hail
You stepped into reality
To captivate my fantasy


The four elements of earth
Enjoy to celebrate your birth
You’re the beauty’s daughter
And welcomed by the water
You’re the bliss of the fire
Which burns high in desire
The sun joins the air
And they are pleased to caress
Your golden hair
The earth tries to grow
The most beautiful flowers
So they can join in to show
That beauty empowers
