HOPE
I would like to take
the paths of new hope
and erase my footprints behind
me because your escort is
superfluous before the rising sun.
I would like to walk
the land of solitude
for years
and walk on
the silence of the
pathlessness liberated
of all your words and
deeds. I would like to be
born again
bathed in purity
of my soul
and stand
in front of the starry sky
as a newborn.
And pardon
my rude words
and be patient
because my loneliness
is your loneliness, too.
You are my other-self.
You do what I m afraid of.

EMBRACE MY SILENCE
Embrace my silence
With your arms of happiness
And wrap my heart
In threads of silk
And don’t let the southern wind
Erase a smile
Of the gifted hope
From the fallen.
Embrace my silence
And you shall hear
A heartbeat
And clatter of longing
In the silence of my infinity.
Embrace my silence
And call me by my name
In this night of suspense
And I shall come
Like a fairy
All in white
To open your eyes,
Which shine
Like burning stars.
Your eyes
Are like white lighthouses
In the fear of my depths.
Your eyes are like eternal diamonds
In the colours
Of glorious life.
