called it my country
in a letter of love
: years ago

return for grief
ain’t my land anymore
magic is gone

land of my father
land of my fathers father

birthland of one
new home for one other
after years of displacement

peace for both

completeing the wheel of life
baby – child – man – old man

and babychild : after loosing the past : again
w/ no past

fathers father wife : the perfect mate :
wife, friend, partner

until the end : strong and lovely helping hand
+more : the mind, the eyes, the ears, the mouth

and it’s summer in winter
24°C in the shade : warm wind and nite’s mild

when i walked through the city
heard the babylonic voices
saw the nations and nations
religious and atheists
smelled the scent of million kitchens
different : differences

but : magic : gone
away w/ the wind : poof!
flight back home to come

// 1st way — the romantic version

I met you and you met me — some days ago
«What a nice woman…»
and you and I were talking all night long
I gave you my number but didn’t get yours

So I waited for your call
and you wrote a love letter
(not really, but hey, this is the romantic version)
and we decided to have a date on sunday afternoon
and we talked again and again
just to be near to each other

Maybe this way it started
to be a romance — just in my mind
maybe there I started
to have a crush on you

I saw you in my mind by my side …
walking over clouds
soft and smooth
our hearts on fire

Mother, woman, girl
just the perfect bride
the one I dreamt of
the one I waited for

// 2nd way — the dark version

Deine kleinen großen Augen blicken mich an.
Es ist spät.

Wir sitzen – erst so kurz – seit Ewigkeiten hier.

Der Abend hat vor Stunden uns in sich aufgesogen.
Meine Hülle hat sich vor Minuten eine Zigarette angezündet
drückt sie aus
wie ein Insekt

Mein Geist ist von Deinen Augen in einen Bann gerissen.

Ein Bann
– kalt wie Eis
– heiß wie Feuer

Mein Mund will Worte für Dich formen.
Doch …

Ach, was ich zustande bringe ist nur ein leises Wort an Dich –                 
»Du …«

In meinem Kopf ensteht ein kleiner Traum – eine große Welt.

Deine Augen blicken mich an
Augen wie Sterne

Du wirst zur Königin der Nacht
beherrschst Welten der Träume
Welten der Phantasie

Meiner Phantasie.

know you now a unspecified time
have you seen first @ the café
— «wow» – your eyes in my mind

crushed @ you
maybe more …
i don’t know

if you’re looking tired
just the same
banned thru your presence

here today
gone tomorrow
irreversible heartache

it comes 2 me
like a flash
day before yesterday

picked a card
not gambling
just 2 see what happens

checkmate!
just 2 moves
queen beats king

princess plugged off the power
lines down
no dial-tone

called myself gone
2 lonely ways
dusty route

thirsty for love
drinking wine instead of water
waitin’ for your lips + get drunken by your voice

impressed by your will
2 make your way
close 2 the edge

«… the fallen will rise one day …»
this time will come
me happy again forever

layin’ next 2 you on da bed
so close so far
sleepin’ dreamin’ of you

woke up next 2 you
you’ve slept like a little child
harmony + silence in your closed eyes

soft touch by chance
can’t get enough – never
waitin’ 4 your words

backwards wouldn’t be more hard
can’t see sense in your behavior
blinded by iReality

walkin’ XXL [1]
thru the valley of darkness

happy minded
and filled with endorphines

gonna meet my 100% girl
do I?

saw you before I met you
just in my mind – and didn’t knew it

what’s your wish?
won’t you tell it my ears?

speak the spoke
to make me yours

just as it
like you dream

if I’m not your 100%
let me go

sorry for that trouble
and thanx for that fish/wish

spellin’ love differently
doesn’t makes it true

bigger dreams
higher flies the bee

who’s tellin’ you that?
and who’s who?

who’re you?
and when was the flash?

electricity for different people
makes them feelin’ XXS [2]

nuts, my brain is breakin’
walnutshells my ship is sinkin’

storm by storm
here goes the rain

follow the line
welcome to the wall

breakin’ in
feelin’ free to paint my life

choose the way
to next days luck

rest a while on my side
stay until the sun rise

make the moon smilin’
and the stars shakin’

b-sides for flip-sides
track the track

route to your personal
wished well luck?

flashbacks flushing back to past
smellin’ better times

and the best before the end:
you don’t have to taste it

just take it
or it’s gone

nihon [3] sendin’ the sun
while your awaking on my side

did you sleept well, love?
