maybe the world is already flipped TW: dark thoughts |
| Ohne* nichts, es ist alles für nichts nicht frei, nicht kostenlos aber umsonst; bedeutungslos lieblich, es ist alles für Liebe Liebe, geh nicht weit weg aber weit ist die einzige Richtung ängstlich, es ist alles für die Angst die Angst verschlingt alles aber die Angst ist nicht stark genug nicht ist stärker, und liebe, als die Angst aber den ganzen Welt wartet für das Angst beherrscht uns ohne wahre Liebe, wir bleiben nichts wo bekommt mann wahre Liebe? nür bei dem Allmächtigen denn er ist, die wahre Liebe anger? They’ve stolen your voice Ripped your fate to shreds Torn all your stories Fed them to the dogs Left you with nothing Nothing to be mad at But the very thing that haunts You You can still sing But can never spell It wasn’t criminal To write what haunts You But that has been stolen too They see your heart Inspect it with a scope No one should be this close To what haunts You You’ll never get it back It’s gone, with the dust The tape is unsealed And your mind is the same You’ll never discover what haunts: You It was you What is that letter? I don’t recall The silken, soft sheets That smothered me as I slept Their deceptively scintillative scent Drawing me closer and closer to an end If I knew, If I felt An observation would corrupt it all If I saw, if I was, I’d be nothing in or out or from, Because when twelve years pass, The siren still sings Its slippery snake charmed song Smeared with sly skill And finally revealed To none And same, to all Take note: Written in the margins was the truest thought of all though no one knew the author and the print was very small it would have changed the world, were it not crumpled to a ball and tossed into the refuse that sat waiting down the hall some subscribe to philosophy, ceaselessly pleading ignorance, while others blame the puppeteers, who promise blind deliverance but few survey the trivial, wasting time on grandiose, they'll miss the revolutionary unless they look up-close Marginal will it fit on these small lines? the founds of many lack space for reception last resorts are used too often because of darkness that is prescribed too little room is left for healing the hospital is even out of beds so the patients are imprisoned in their own art and packaged in their very skin how else should they be expected to breathe than breaking through their flesh so they don't run out of space The shared receiving news of metal and wood brings to mind the confluence of bad and good greeted with the fare of grief and bereavement petals are crushed to dust on the pavement the only hope to rephrase the end is that both life and death are shared, meant to lend but those who fall into their fears have been spared the length of years if they were among the shared *This poem is in German. I am learning German, so not fluent, please excuse the incomplete grammar or ideas. |
