Young hearts

Strangers to normality
the world on pause
we create
we shape.

Full hearts
warm days.
Young hearts
big dreams.

You are everything
and this is almost everything.
Love and nonsense
young and glorious.

Whatever my sight catches
no matter what my gaze falls on
it's gorgeous,
it's grant.

But wait
stop for a moment
pause for a thought
let your eyes wander
& look around

Life in the details
my truth in these lines
finding words again
and me in them.

And it's sad
when the moments pass
when they fade
how they go by

What's it all worth if nothing stays?

a world where nothing is really yours
no preservation
no cure
no escaping impermanence

No one will understand this
and no words will suffice.
It all just happens
right now, only here.

I look up
moments passed again
it's over
past increased.

But I'm here
I'm there
and y'all are too
most of the time anyway.

Are you what you want to be
are you doing what you have to
Is that real, is that you?
I hope we can all just be one day.

I'll make every effort
pull myself together
trying to get my act together.
I hold me back, keep me in check

but then your eyes are on me
and then your head is on my shoulder
then you'll make my heart shine
and bring excitement in my eyes

Then you ignite what was just asleep
then you make me happy
and then the longing comes

Calm when you're close
on hold when you're not.
Focus on me
but my focus' on you.

Like the prettiest book
a lukewarm summer evening.
At full force
lovely and dangerous.

Where is your heart at
what are your eyes with
what do you give ears to?
Me by chance?

Can't fathom your insecurity -
as always.
Why don't you take my eyes
look around, look at yourself

That's it!
Wouldn't that solve it?
Wouldn't that set you free?

All of us, flawless
and at the same time caught in the web of our self,
Like flies in a spiderweb.

What I want,
what I need
what I really want,
it's not much.

Only freedom
only peace
and you
for a second in my arms

Or 2, make it 3
will I get out of this?
maybe with you I drown
maybe this is my final downfall

no, it'a all right
it's all in balance
ebb and flow
breath in and out

In the end, it all passes.
Because everything will come
and nothing ever remains
everything is good.

I don't have to understand
I don't have to solve
I believe it
and do it anyway.

And then your attention disappears.
I wipe away my sight
pack my stuff.
Maybe I'll try again tomorrow.

Unbound
Can my heart take it?
Is it really that easy?
I don't think I believe me.

Don't let me end like this
this is not a sad piece
it is my return
I am on my way home

In these words lies my happiness
my hope, my faith
this is my meaning
this is my reason

How nice to be back.
