Love

Love is not a magic word
nor can you even hunt it.
If you'd walk many miles to find
you'd hardly ever meet.

You will find it deep inside,
when you are calm and still -
because its real nature
only quiet ones can feel.

It's there before your senses feel,
that is the way of love...
it leads the ones who thirst for it
to live a sincere life.

No value can compare to it,
and never does blind faith -
whoever gives a try for it,
was fooled by tricky baits.

Its nature is great purity
completely without rush and greed.
Who's brooding on possessing it
grows up a burdon's seed.

Different paths can lead you there
but one thing is unique to all:
Only with silence in the mind
one's drawn towards the realms call.

Rosenranke One only feels with open senses
- free from a thoughtful host.
The people of terrestrial quest
increase life damages cost.

To one, free like a child,
Love reveales unbint.
A life - free like the wind,
will henceforth be his friend!

To My Twinkling Star

Kerze When I was born, you've been attached,
you were already there for me and watched.
The heaven has sent you for the sake of my heart,
to keep an eye on me, to be my invisible part.

So often your watching turned to be
a mercyful life rescue for me.
That's why I laugh cheerfully today -
your light had shone the dark away.

Some times I've been down to the ground,
the exit to of my rope web was not found.
Still you were there to shine on my way -
taught me the fine arts - with your guiding ray.

KerzeI succumbed only to your amiable charmes,
you always held me safely in your protecting arms.
On my muddled ways - you were a loyal friend
my life dread is broken, you made it an end.

I thank you now wholeheartedly,
for leading me so faithfully!
That's why these candles shine today,
because you've always joined my way.

Affection

Two stalks tending to one another,
showed their love quietly and secretly.
A dewdrop had connected their relation,
because they lacked a touching hand.
The sun broke through in blazing light,
so they reflected in that mirror their inner face.

A tender, hardly noticeable thrill of the two
enveloped them in a billowy, courting round dances.
They rocked dearly full of passion,
united in the dance in a loving strength.

A wind stroke over the field from the broth,
which was illuminated
embers-golden and lovely from the sun.
The breeze murmurred softly
by an invisible direction,
its story in a well known melody...

Meanwhile the stalks began to tremble
they seemed to hover to raised worlds.
There, the pearl loosened its shining hand, that had connected the lovers
for a bright moment ... with eternity ...

and it glided away...

The stalks now are in quiet hope,
that in the same wonderful way
a new morning, a new dew will find them,
to unite them in love again.

United

Two seeds born from the earth's lap
looked at each other and grew up
securely dwelling in the ether - they are one -
the universe astounds amazed.

Their heads twinkle silvery in the wind.
they don't bind themselves, but...
listen cheerfully to one another.
Respecting each other they are so close,
they grow to the light, and...
can hike unitedly through their life.

Released Love

Ballon

Now, I can finally say it
it is my great desire
I must carry it no more,
the bond about my breast.

"I love you"...

Now, it appears so clear,
I love you -
just the way you are.
And this is wonderful.

No more hunting, no more quest -
whether my love is right.
None more mind after consent -
because the feeling is real.

No worries, no expectation,
not rule steers the manner.
and fidelity I only keep with the Divine ...
at this journey on earth...

Like this, the radiation of love can last,
no matter whatever happens!
Because this can just the way it is -
and no pain must pay...

"Love me"

You say that you love me,
but I see the question.
Behind your gaze I view
the unspoken complaint.

Rather say:
"love me"
this would be spoken frankly.
But this way you blow day by day
the flame of my love.

You say - you love me
Your ganze on my "shame"
I feel as bare as never
that is no real luck.

Rather say:
"I am hot"
this would be spoken frankly.
But this way you blow day by day
the flame of my love.

If you set me to prison,
you are blind for the depth -
you also cannot see
how close we really are.

Desire is not love,
And love is not desire.
And if you hang after your instincts
you have to worry about your love.

You see only me before eyes,
you see only my face.
But you are blind for your own beauty,
can't see your own light.

Let your wishes go,
leave the pressure simply free.
Then, soon you will understand - that they were merely fallacy.

And everything grows by its own
just like it wants to grow.
Like this the flame gets more brightly - and life so wonderful!...
