Second Hand
What am I worth,
I am tossed
in a corner
lost together
with dirt,
waiting for
a gambler
or a loser
without
aspiration
to adore
me once more:
"Do you
understand,
I am
Second Hand!

Fade out
Fade out
Deep inside
I try to hide
my darkest crying,
it's a stride
to that wide, wide
sea of dying.
Do I fear
that first tear
of clearest truth,
do I hear
her waves near
some coasts of good?

Belief
Belief
Oh God if I might fail
then God still you will bless
impress on me that snail
and snake me none the less.
All men ar weak
who do not seek
for, by steadily grounding house
from pain joy shall arouse.

Sea of life
Sea of life
The tears
are shed
I've read
them
silently
and I've
swum into
those
bitter Oceans
got drunk
every time
I lost
my balance
by
trouble-some
questions

Knarsentandend
Knarsentandend
schrijf je van geluk
je maakt je veel te druk.
Knarsentandend
kom je niet in slaap,
een zucht, een geeuw en wat gegaap.
Knarsentandend
bijt je de kiezen stuk,
geluk wordt al snel
een spel
voor decadente krenten.

Zwiespältigkeit
Zwiespältigkeit
Die Liebe, die Liebe lieben kann
bist Du, denn Du die den Du hinüberziehst,
denn Ich den Mich bin der Mann
der seine Seele in deiner Seele spiegeln kann,
der den Dir der in mir geniesst!

Ramadan
En boven graven de buren
zich in tussen vier muren
tot aan de schemering
wordt er geklust of geslapen
of heerlijk gekruid gekookt
of elkaar op de hielen gezeten
op de knie-en gebeden,
want moet je weten
het is weer eens
een maand lang.... Ramadan.

Enlighten
Enlighten
Yes and in this eternal flame
I will overcome this small
part of my existence, Yes
and I shall conquer rain,
warm the cold to melt one's
ice-covered soul and in this all
I shall burn by faith in love
enlighten trust.

A Touch of We
A Touch of We
Did not I see what my heart whispered to me
did not those birdeyes sing so silently
did those unsudden promises not shake my tree
was not my passion there to set me free;
i miss a true stroke, i miss a touch of We

They Crave Love
They Crave Love
If love is but a mere repeatedly frustration
there comes a time when things don't rhyme;
a curse such as this feeds automutilation,
a knife cuts fine fibers untíll life will chime
and escapes this impregnate........damnation
