Phoenicurus
how do you know
you’re a phoenix
when you’re born from ashes?
naked and fragile
fallen out of the sky
into a grey abyss
without the memory
of what you are
closer to death than life
what is left
when you’ve left
your past behind?
when your identity
has been plugged from you
like your feathers
nothing
nothing but silence
and darkness
only a spark
beyond the realm ...

Hypocrite Society
Me?
I’m a poet
but nobody knows
there is a depth in me
that rarely shows
the man that you can see
is only a fraction of the whole me
under the surface
a place so vast
I couldn’t describe it
even if you’d ask
words are just not up to the task
so, I hide behind my mask
and you?
I would like to know you
but it’s hard for me to see through
‘cause y...

The center of everything, in the middle of nowhere
the midpoint of the universe,
the center of everything
in the middle of nowhere
that’s you
space is infinite all around
think about it
your thoughts chase
the ever-extending boundaries
with the speed of light
but the limits are impossible to find
they are set by your mind
no need to be a scientist
to know, what can't be known

The blank page
what a beautiful sight
the color of possibility
is called “white”
an empty space
is a little appreciated
frame of grace
many words in mind
but the right ones
hard to find
the pressure is high
to fill the void
time’s flying by
not until every word
is written down, a writer
stops to frown
like an hourglass after time
the pages ...

Communication
Two people
who know what they want
and express how they feel
don't fight.
There's just no point in arguing about feelings.
You don't choose your feelings
so you can't be judged for having them.
So why keeping them from others?
Express yourself!
It helps people understand.
It's called communication.

The end of the chain
the madness is carried
from perpetrators to victims
from link to link on the chain of misery
where victims become perpetrators
and perpetrators create more victims
on and on it goes
history shows
that the chain extends
‘til the bitter end.
there is so much madness
coming from our race
sometimes I wonder
do we use the word “inhuman” in the wrong ways?
we ...

The man and the sea - Part 1: The Stranding
After the ship broke
the man found himself in the middle of the sea
drifting into the unknown in the dark
clinging to a piece of tree
the man is physically strong, he needs to be
cause his mindset is weak
and now that no one can see
he lets out a tiny weep
by daylight, the man spots land on the horizon
he heads off and crawls
but she, the sea, won’t let him ...

Runner
I’m sorry I couldn’t be there for you
I didn’t notice I was still running from the past
had blurry vision cause my pace was fast
unable to build anything that lasts
bonding never occurred to me
I was so desperate to be free
running I did, away from the past
now I’m alone
the first will be last
afraid to let you close
cause I might get attached
like with t...

Thundersoul
If you could compare my soul to anything in nature
I’d say it‘s like a thunderstorm
people have mixed feelings about it
there are positive and negative feelings involved
some fear it for its destructive potential
some admire the lightning show
tension holds it together
that it’s trying to release
an inner state of unease
it’s contrary in all of its parts
the heat...

Freedom
Freedom is a common term
it’s often said but seldom seen
the idea is easy to get
but hard to grasp
that’s what it’s all about
if you reach for it
you will never get close
accept the fact that you can’t catch it
the hurrier you go
the more you get left behind
it was always right here
it ain’t hard to find
somewhere between the boundaries of life
and ...

Struggling in veins
Two hearts are beating in my chest
one is right on time
the other's left behind
one is young, open and blind
the other‘s tired, beaten and confined
they are twins of different age
both hunter souls, locked in a cage
one is thirsty for blood
the other has had enough
though they are two
neither can rest
the constant battle puts both to the test
but wil...

Cloudy Eyes
I have it all
locked up inside
my soul tries to hide
and I can’t find the reasons why
once I was whole
pure spirit, body and soul
the umbilical cord cut
and ready to go
into an unbiblical world
I didn’t know
the years passed and I passed out
locked in a cage of everyday life
I forgot there once was
a fire burning inside
suffocating ...

I don't mind
I don’t know where I’m coming from
and I don’t know where I’m going
if I don’t know this
what do I know then?
driven by insecurity
my mind tries to fill the void inside
searching for something that is real
getting trapped in the web
running in a wheel
make up your mind
and let the shit flow through
what’s important will stick around you
holding on to s...
