Day 2478, the other.

Daily picture, Poetry

It sometimes happens that it is complicated
you only see one button to push
but you already know what it does
 
and the rest that is on display
it's hard to understand 
even that little sign
that urges you to read
the manual

Day 2460, itch.

Daily picture, Poetry

I still have a place for you
where we were connected
as a reminder
maybe
or maybe
what's left
is hard to reach
to cut out

Day 2329, vase.

Day's pictures, Poetry
You stood out
from your background

a colorful past
made you clearer
the contrast attracted

I will let you grow
now I know
and trow away 
the vase

Day 2303, looking for.

Day's pictures, Poetry
The windows in this building
seem to stare in silence
in different directions

maybe to an outside
maybe not

Day 2193, perpetual emotion.

Day's pictures, Poetry

I grab you

and let you go

I grab you

and let you go

I grab you

and let you go

I grab you

and keep on going

forever

but don’t know

can you

stop me

Day 1882, cocoon.

Daily picture, Poetry

We travel together

in a small cocoon

~

building up pressure

but also close

~

sharing the same

going forwards

~

and still nor seeing

each other’s

own side

Day 1861, sculpted.

Daily picture, Poetry

If I see you standing

like a statue

~

not finishing

where you moved

~

an expression

without words

~

I realize

that I am the one

that sculpted you

Day 1673, her.

Day's pictures, Poetry

She was standing there

forever

still in silence

~

I could see

her posture

knew where to go

~

up the stairs

to get her…

Day 1658, standing still.

Day's pictures, Poetry

I open the drawer

with one hand

holding a picture

in the other

of you

standing in a doorway

~

I can not see

if you are leaving

or coming in

~

I only remember

that we were there

Day 1632, your face.

Day's pictures, Poetry

It looks

like I see

your face again

in everything

~

maybe

you disappear

when I open

the door

for a while

~

so you know

you can come in

Day 1615, clear cut.

Day's pictures, Poetry

All the fibers

tore

seamless

in my body

at the same time

~

when you told me

~

it was best

this way

~

a clear cut

and I was

Day 1614, in.

Day's pictures, Poetry

When I look

in the mirror

through your eyes

~

I see the tension

between

Day 1611, looking.

Day's pictures, Poetry

When I sit

and look

like an eagle

~

watching what you do

hiding like a shadow

behind you

~

I search for

my

insecurity

in you

Day 1601, dragged.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1601.jpg

I don’t want

to give you cover

no longer

against the rain

~

but I am still

leaving

dragged down

by the forces

that kept me

with you

Day 1591, happy.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1591.jpg

In the fourth doorway

is saw you standing

~

I don’t know why

I kept opening

~

but also

stayed behind

~

from this distance

I can’t see

the age

in your eyes

~

and you know

that makes me happy

Day 1542, leave.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1542

A leave

with darkness

and deep feigns

~

feeding itself

from where it all

starts

~

the dark soil

where the past

gets consumed
