Interstellar

Under the starlight in the deep blue sea
gliterry stars are made of you and me
two old souls ...
(I knew this when we met)
now centuries old...

We can't ever forget that we come from stars ...
There we shall return!
Life is just a blink of an eye
Earth is our sojourn!
It's a double edged sword when you sail away

I know that my sun will shine again

Someday, when love is all I feel
when love is returned to me
when love is truly real

Stone cold

You quote to relate your feelings and your thoughts
long ago someone forgot to care for you
back then your feelings didn't matter
now they do
but now you are stone cold
I think I hurt you too

If you can't feel, I will feel for you
If you can't heal, know that I am true
If you can't speak, I will speak for you
but please, don't be weak
weakness kills me too



Let it be me, let it flow through me ...
Until you hear the call of mind-blowing amazing love you can't resist
starving for that never-ending must have kiss

When you crave me like you never have before
when your very soul is aching to the core
when passionate dreams control your mind, pumping divine bliss into your every part ...

When you listen to your heart and you give in

when your every thought of us is wrapped in sin

remember, there is no such thing as a stone cold heart

if you can hate, then you can love
stop tearing us apart

Here is a Heart

Adelaide was a rock star. Boy she loved to play! She wrote a new song every single day til one night, when she reconnected with her past, forced to face a love she knew would never last, Adelaide became unhappy. Entangled and upset, feeling somewhat strange, her frustration grew, but no one ever knew how bad it was for her. The situation rearranged her life. Love felt like a sharp knife cutting through her heart. In many ways she wanted to escape to some wonderful other place, praying for much better days to come.

Inside her head the band played on, boosting the same old crap on her brand new gramophone, but to her great surprise, Adelaide came to realize she was glad that song was over. When it finally played out, Sonny came along one sweet December night. They wrote beautiful songs together, but somehow things weren't any better, because Rocket refused to diminish, crawling his way to the finish, searching for a way out of his hole, squeezing her heart like a f--ing  a--hole!

Caught in a trap, everything felt wrong and nothing
right; Adelaide couldn't concentrate on songs, day or night. Sonny thought everything was fine, but she needed a lot more at the time, thinking everything she ever heard from men were lies.... in her eyes flirting became weary. Adelaide, prepared to say good bye, had to end this, because she couldn't live a lie. That's when their cheery song turned to a drone, a classical piano tune went all trombone and harmony fell out of tune. Soon, there was very little left or not enough. The room fell silent to an accidental theft of love. Sonny totally freaked out (convinced the moon, the stars and planets were designed to dance around his grace), so romance went to hell (now Sonny says Adelaide's new place ) and squabbles killed the song writing, which brought on massive nail biting and serenades became grenades. Adelaide broke her gramophone, screaming she will never write another song, but not long after this she realized, the coolest thing about love is the surprise, not knowing what comes next ... the spaces in between the scribbled text... being true at heart and never fake..... that kind of love takes the cake!  

A thousand years

A drop of ice

Diamond tears
I'm afraid
I'm kind of a bait for your revenge
too far away ...

To be your love, all your love, all devotion

I break away, steal away

Drink this potion of my memory

Tell me how it's going to be

In the end

I realized, I'm not afraid
Whatever will be is not up to me
Intoxicate me 

Now you see, we

Break away, take away, all emotion
Steal away, run away

Every motion makes new memories

Tell me how it's going to be

A drop of ice

a crystal clear diamond tear
I'm never afraid
never a bait
I'm too far away ....

Come to me

COME TO ME

by M Katrin Daria

My mysterious love scrambled brain...

I shouldn’t, yet, I can’t abstain

A voice echoing in my head, blinded by love, gets me soaking wet

I'm crushing blue, offering my heart to you, so take it!

It is pure and true

Come to me, love, dive in deep, we have promises to keep

Single minded, mesmerized, I dream of your big beautiful blue eyes

Blue like the ocean, where I dwell and squirm

Come to me, let us reaffirm our love

Here in the sun, wet to the bone, on a sugar sweet high cream of a dream 

I exude a glow of happiness

Find me now! 

I'm a hot young mess

I'll sacrifice my life for yours somehow to unlock that tomb in a smoke filled room

when out of darkness I appear

soft summer wind, candle light, curtains blow apart, you're right, there is smooth

 jazz playing in my head

When you kiss me and we are transported to a beautiful beach where you gaze into my eyes, no names, no more guessing games, no more aching just to feel you close, one touch of your lips  - overdose

In a gentle sway of hips, our love feels true

No more wishing to take a sip of you

No more yearning to indulge in you

Done wishing, we just do!

How can this be wrong?

It feels too good

 

Haiku

Enjoy life and wine

 but never forget the love
in atonement

Ice Princess

I touched a horn in the winter snow
in the Appalachian mountains where I often go

Underneath the pale moon light I came upon a gracious sight!

Moving slowly, reaching out, I held my breath

In one gentle touch, without a sound, a miracle happened as snow flakes hit the ground

Then, the unicorn moved

 I stepped back 

I am no one, I'm a nobody ... yet, all of a sudden... can this be?

The unicorn bowed down to me ....



I'm not here ...

What is this thing?

Pretense or fear?

Depths of your soul are refusing to hear me!

I herald defeat, but not out of fear 

My truth is denied, demolished and ravaged when love finally arrived, but instantly damaged, bleeding and aching, was perturbed by your spear

No where to run 

No where to hide

I am not here

I am not here

Brave Hearts

dedicated to Aranka and Joseph Besserman

Life leads to many roads
This I know for sure

Each man is on a path with burdens to endure

We recognize the virtuous 

Only if we try

When the world is up in arms

God hears his children cry

There is strength within us

Challenging the brave, God stands by all heroes, Even at their grave

Triumphant adventures
Until angels return home
Then accepting brand new lives
Many angels grow

Together we live as sisters and brothers

Together we believe
Together we lead

Our fathers and mothers, magnificent angels
Together we suffer
Together we bleed

In love we rise

In love we fall
Exposing our hearts to God above all 

Enemy

RG

They say time can heal all wounds, but love should never leave any!

If you only hurt the ones you love, love becomes your enemy

Years later, I realized I truly mattered in his eyes

Difficult this truth may be, I might have hurt him terribly

Oh, c'est la vie!

I am still not sure, his love was pure

I never felt the same

Why ignite the stone cold flame that burned out a long time ago, when I can just say no no no 

I can't love anyone not right for me! ( even if he'd die for me )

It's time I turn to loving me

It's time I return to the sea

Madness

Sadly, I gaze upon my shattered eyes... 

This was love everlasting? 

Hm...

It's no surprise deep darkness dwells upon your crooked lips

Behold! Madness! What? More lies?

The company you keep is deceitful touch!

This pyramid is your monument

It isn't much

Safe inside these sacred clouds, where solemn nights creep upon me like a villain's guilt
I untie this bond.
I let go
Hiding in the dead of night! No more!

To and from the arms of heaven I have flown when
in and out of evil hands have I betrothed my dear porcelain heart

I weep mourning thy unbashful offers
As always, I am left behind
Picking up the pieces

What is left of me I sew into a packet of sweet potpuri
Your wrong becomes my right
I break the chains, opening my tired eyes to find my love remains

It's true

Alas! 

Thy everlasting love is fading

You are denied
For all eternity

Compassion

Why do some have and others not?
Why are some cold, while others are too hot?
If he isn't within us, then, where is God?

A Choice

In college, I met an amazing young woman named Olga. She was beautiful and intelligent and one heck of a chess player. One day we argued over life and death; weather there is life after death at all. 
I insisted life goes on. Olga kept saying: "When you're dead, you're dead." 

I hope, for her sake, that I was correct. I never knew our existential debate meant more than words to her. One day a mutual friend informed me Olga committed suicide. 

I often think of her. Could I have said something to stop her, had I known?
I wish I had a chance to go back in time. I would fight for her life and tell her that she's important, that she needs to believe each life on Earth matters.  
I would tell her that however bad things may seem at the moment the future is in her hands. She can have any life she wants. I would tell her happiness is a choice and the negative can only hurt us if we let it.

---------------------------------------------------

If I died, would you cry for me?

If I reach down from the sky, will you come to me?

Will I see your eyes tearing up for me?

You died, Olga

We cried for you

You should have heard me scolding you

I wish you were here, so one more time we'd fight

One more time you'd win
Transparent in the night

I wave a white flag in my dream
then sadness comes

you bow your chin

the flag becomes a bloody rag
your soul within
 a child of sin

Are you happy where you are?

Feel you less than mortal pain?

If the place you love can save the weak, should others then salvation seek?

Should I too attempt this dance, before God himself grants me the chance?

So quick and sudden you turned away

So young
Only you arrived

What went through your troubled mind from day to day?
You cut your flesh in moments so contrived
You're not forgotten
Memories sink deep
Frozen in time the clock stopped ticking
Late at night, you drifted off to sleep
Now everyone you loved at your grave kneels weeping

You welcome death, the so called other side

No more breath
Nothing more to hide

In your satin bed, you took a wild ride

When we argued about life and death
Your pain must have been deep
I never knew
I never even had a chance to tell you, to wake you from your sleep

No good bye
You closed your eyes
I stayed

I recognize your plight, but Olga, I can't apologize
 I choose to stay and fight

Nam Myoho Renge Kyo

Imagine for a moment the sun is not only your light, it is your guide
the end of a tunnel, a way out of darkness.

Imagine all the beauty in the world, mountains, oceans, wildflower fields
even the horizon, however great
none compare to the beauty of Nirvana

Allow your thoughts to travel

become a beam of light

think not on pain, suffering or posessions, let go of fear

take flight!

A Toast!

Our living room sofa is old and worn, why mom wanted leather, I can’t say...

I'm comfortable at home, I feel serene, in a warm blanket, sipping vine, listening to an evergreen
 





It's a first night into a New Year’s day and I'm finally free of my daily grind,
at least over the holidays

Now, admiring our Christmas tree,  brightly twinkling back at me,
decorated in memories, bought, received and found,

embedded in my brain by color, taste and sound
I'm thinking, where will I be a year from now?
 

Four years ago I had a father, now it’s just mum and I somehow...
My little brother is getting married! It’s true, I suppose, life goes on.... I don't know much, but I know one thing: Whatever we expect from life, whatever it may be, we must believe in something, so I

believe ... I believe in me.

Here, here! I'll drink to that on this glitzy night!

Shine on Christmass tree! Shine on sweet moonlight!

I shall do my very best ‘til next year, when once again I rest next to a brand new tree, making another silly wish and foolishly, I'll wish I were a fish!
 

If only I could dwell upon the mighty ocean waves!

Flipping my long tail, making a big ol' splash! Oh, yes!

Covered in scales, but I guess who cares, when I'm glistening and gliding in the air...in and out of water, free from all restrain! Rejoicing, ignorant of pain…

God, why have I never known such bliss? Why have I never felt as free?

Can it really be so easy, that with a little fantasy, there can be a brand new me! Well, if it's such an easy task, what on Earth am I waiting for? I'll pretend it's next year now!

Forget 2008, here’s to 2009! (gulp, gulp, gulp)  ... hoping that my special wish comes true somehow.

 

Thief!

RG

Thief! 

That very heart you steal is but a figment!
It's not real!
It's not a declaration of my love, when you take my heart against my will!

I drop a tear.
My heart grows cold, dies

 
Steady pulse draws to a halt, overlapping beats, exhaust....
No longer ticking/toking at its cost
Your heart grew fonder, while my heart paused
Have we wasted love?
I wonder...

 
On this forbidden morning I am lost

Too much of my love dwells in your possession
Too much of your love turned into obsession
Say it, you desperate, wretched villain! Say it!
Basking in affection, sitting on your throne!

Should my remaining zest be spent on cruel men of your sort?

Deep love as was my own?

Or will you, uncanny pile of darkness, once more rip apart my world? 

Then to the devil with you, bastard!
Heartless! Gutless! Cold!

I recollect my thoughts on Love, seeking guidance up above.
Oh, come new dawn!
Approach me!

Slap me in my face!

Let some new love scorch me!

Transplant a new heart in my old heart's place!

When I close my eyes each night

I pray for a more meaningful new sight than this old carried, when you filled my cup with stones.
They, so deeply buried, cut into my bones

I bled, I'm bleeding still

With these heavy rocks, set in my lower deck, I am sinking deeper, tired, feeling used.

Sprinkle on sandy beaches just to change my mood
(laughter) blinded by love, oh, this is wild....I'm so confused!

I really thought it was a figment when you stole, but no, the first is real and now

for ever more

you are the only way I heal

In two dark souls I must discover light.

Come strength, hold me, I am weak
Instead of leaving you, I ask you my dear Love: "Is this all that you have taken? Do you want more when we awaken?"

( inspired by John Donne's Valediction and a few movies ) 

Wait for Me, My Love

Original version:

The kettle and the tea

Sea of happiness

Old slippers, side by side

His favorite velvet dress

Heaven turned to hell

Be with me he cried

Coming! Replied my empty shell, just before I died

Buried in Love, hand in hand, it's happiness enough

We fly across this land

Inseparable souls

A much needed relief

Indeed, we are dead, but finally, we live

Second version:

The kettle and the tea in sea of happiness
 Old slippers, side by side
 her favorite velvet dress

 Their heaven turned to hell
 "Be with me!" he cried
 "I promise" replied her empty shell, just before he died

  Decades later, still apart, aching with her wounded heart
  she kept her promise when she followed love
 
  Now happiness, when hand in hand, the inseparable souls fly across this land
  in much needed relief

  "Indeed, we are dead, but finally, we live!"

Afternoon in the Garden

for my mother <3

Martyrs, angels, sweets beyond compare
Overwhelming beauty, ever fair

Time, nor any other measure can't surpass
This heaven's first glance upon my eyes

My everlasting Love
You graced the Earth
You reveled in your past, then, gave me birth

Oh! What a dream it is to hold your lovely face!
I pray to never, ever, let us part!
I kiss your cheek and long for your embrace
I stare upon you, my gentle work of art ...

Feeling blessed to watch this prize now dreaming
I run my fingers through your almost reddish mane
Inside screaming: "Gray! Do not!"

I keep you, precious, from falling to disdain
Napping gently on a day so hot
I cherish each moment
I cherish this time, when I am entitled to call you  - mine
Quietly weeping, I turn to the sky
I whisper a prayer
My prayer is denied

I hold you, my jewel, for as long as can be
I leave you the peaches you collected for me to sweeten your dream
so that this moment won't end
I am holding an angel ...
and I am touching her hand!

If I could bake the perfect cake
I'd slap you on top like a decoration
No!

I'd smudge you across the sides like jelly
No!

I'd layer the cake with you and chocolate
No!

I'd blend you Into the mix for flavor
Yes!

From the base right to the top
In the filling and the dough
Like the icing all around
I could lick you very slow

You'd be the taste in every part
My most profound approach to art
A luscious cake all made of you
and the best thing is - that I could eat you too!

Balance

Her sound is quiet, her light is dark
Her good and bad tear her apart


Her cries are pointless, her deeds don’t count Happiness and sadness fill her heart


Her charms are wasted
Her destiny unsure
Her same old – changes
Her sharp vision is a blur


She’s competent
She knows not what to do
She is ordinary, if only that were true


Her sentimental gestures are her quaint disturbances
Her plaintiff is her defendant in strange acquaintances


Her various resentments and her everlasting love
Her practical adventures of a world that's not enough
Flawless contradictions
keys are black and white
self controlled addictions
devastation
love

A Beethoven sonata under a chiffon candlelight
a crystal clear chandelier in her filthy, run down atelier
a taste of a sweet blueberry in the summer or an apple in the fall
ice cold snowball winter fight
a spring dance or a ball
just another day
my anniversary
I’m a realist
I’m dreaming
I’m whispering
I’m screaming
Inside the mirror it is me
I’m everywhere, but I'm not here
I’m a butterfly, drowning in a desert sea
I'm free at last
a honey bee






Cacooned in my deep emotions, poisoned by a healing potion
I'm gullible, yet clever
I’m forever
I am never
I am Belzebub
I’m God
I’m a baby
I am old
I’m hot tempered
I am cold
In my promiscuous abstinence and my intelligent ignorance
is my I incoherent perfect sense


It’s madness, all around me, above and below
Inside me is a perfect glow I’m a red giant
Absolutely! 
No, it isn't true
I am certain that I have no clue
I'm not too much of anything, but I am one with everything
I’m often wrong and sometimes right
I’m an early morning sweet good night
My present absence is white as night
I lied, it's not, I’m dark as light
I’m a head of my time, but overdue
Hence, this, with Love, I ask of you: Can you say name?


I am not your master, not your slave
I’m very different, but the same
I’m stuck in between black and white
I’m not completely day or night
I can kill a person, save the world
I have no value, but I'm worth more than gold
I am earth, fire, water, air
Too afraid to try
I dare
I’m generous, but I never share
I’m alpha
I am omega
I’m polluted, but I'm pure, fragile and unbreakable
Undecided, I am sure
I am the biggest mystery - exactly who I seem to be.
I’m not a dog I’m not a frog
:)
Balance is my name!
