About this book

A small collection of poems inspired by music, inner feelings and random thoughts. Many of them were born in my mind on the way to work. Some were written to the melody of the music that was playing in my headphones. Other poems are due to my secret muse. And for that I am very grateful to her.

Don't do it

Don't be afraid my dear,

take me by the hand.

Teach me how to love you

and how to comprehend.


Don't go away my love,

be always by my side.

I will always be there,

no matter left or right.


Hopefully

Is it black or is it white?

I can´t see any other colour.

In the shadow of the night,

hopefully I will recover.


Hopefully my view will change

and I´ll see the rainbow again.

It all looks really strange.

I think it's all in my brain.


I can't say

I can't say no,

because you are so sweet.

I can't let go,

because we're all we need.


I can't say hi,

because you're already here.

I can't let go

all the feelings I feel.


Strange love

Tie me up!

Handcuff me!

There's no sin.

There's only passion.


Undress me!

Punish me!

Strange love

is my new confession.


Open your heart

Wake up and dream.

There is no other way.

A warm spring sunbeam

will lead you.


Everything you've been

were just jars of clay.

Open your heart and scream

I need you!


Treasure

In the basement of the soul,

there is a secret place.

Dark and black as coal,

more vast than deep space.


There is a hidden treasure,

that no one knows about.

A treasure that brings me pleasure.

The one that no one found.


Where are you?

You're not mine

and you never were.

I missed the sign

and you weren't there.


Where have you gone?

Are you just a ghost?

You were here at dawn.

And now you're lost.


I don't know

I stare at the reflection of my face.

The mirror tends to blur it.

After all, who would want to watch it?


Gone are the days when I had faith.

Now it's time to burn it.

I don't know if it's worth it.


The sound

I want to fly free like a bird.

I don't want to be tied to the ground.

I want to follow the sound I heard.

The sound that comes from my heart.


Too hard

Life is short.

Everyone says it.

But no one knows,

how to get over it.


There are many paths.

But which one should I walk on?

They don't teach it in maths.

It is too hard to hold on.


After tomorrow

In silence and solitude.

In the shade of tall trees.

In a mysterious, thoughtful mood.

My soul is brought to its knees.


There I think about my fate.

I think about the life after tomorrow.

I hope it's not too late.

I hope he's the right one to follow.


My star

I dream about you every night.

You're with me even though you're far.

You're here and I hold you tight,

because you're my shining star.


You will not return to heaven.

You'll stay with me here on Earth..

Until I count from one to seven.

Until the sun touches the red roof.


F1

Red lights went off.

Release the pressure!

Go to the max!

And get the treasure!


In the temple of speed,

they pray to the fastest.

Choosing the right path,

that part is the hardest.


What I need

I don't need to be the best.

I don't need to be famous.

I need to feel the fire in my chest.

I want to lock you in my embrace.


Sunset

The sky above us is burning.

I love its reflection.

Between us I feel

an unusual connection.


The surface of the lake is like a mirror

a gateway to another dimension.

Sometimes I feel like a killer

but sunset cures my depression.


Good decision

Enchanted by your charm,

I sit at the table and silently watch,

as under the gentle sounds of a piano

you are walking towards me.


I offer you my palm.

And although I wanted to go play squash,

I listen to the soprano,

that brought you to me.


Your hair shines in the bright spotlight.

Your body curves take my breath away.

That beautiful dress will I take off of you at night.

It was a good decision to stay.


Keep moving

Memories are beautiful.

But don't love them more than the present.

Detach yourself from the past,

unless you want to perish in the desert.


Memories are just a mirage.

They are just an illusion you can't touch.

If you don't have enough courage,

you won't find a perfect match.


Roadtrip

I set off on a journey.

A roadtrip through my thoughts.

The sky above is still burning.

I have nothing left to lose.


Wind in the hair

on an endless road.

The radio plays

hits of Depeche Mode.


Which one do you like the most?

It's a question of lust.

I stand stripped before you.

I enjoy the silence

and I feel a strange love for you.


Never let me down again.

I'll be your personal Jesus.

It's a question of time.

Condemnation can free us.


People are people,

but you are my precious.

Shake the disease,

so it can't possess us.


Policy of truth,

everything counts.

Master and servant.

It's called a heart.


Life lesson

Everything from the outside

influences a person.

All the things around,

are coming to beat him.


Nothing is as it seems at first sight.

I'll give you a life lesson.

Everything that matters

comes from within.


Unreal reality

Trapped in reality,

I'm looking for a way out,

to escape mortality,

to disconnect from life.


I believe it's just a dream,

from which one can wake up.

A shadow captured on film,

that fades in the light.


Love

Love is just a myth,

just a poet's wish.

Convince me that love is real.


Love is just pain,

hidden behind kind words.

This is how I feel.


Tell me

Tell me something new,

which no one has told me before.

Tell me the sky isn't blue,

tell me please even more.


Don't tell me sweet lies,

I've heard them a thousand times.

Tell me something honest,

it will be a great surprise.


Something new

There is something between us.

Something that has no name.

Not mine, not yours, it is ours.

More addictive than cocaine.


I want it daily.

I want it more and more.

It is something new,

standing in front of the door.


Together

Give me your hand.

Together we will overcome

everything that crosses our path.


To the promised land.

We will get there safely,

if we conquer our wrath.
