NEUROSES

How blessed are those
Who miss one close
So rich in memory's thought
So unaware
The pain they share
Is so much more than naught

He came far too early to succeed
Came when the world was already
Far too broken

To be saved just like that

So they, you know, could easily prove him wrong
Not even proving nothing though
But their own ignorance

Roistering just like that

He was honered far too early, too
When he still had so much to do
Far too much even

To be able to fix it all just like that

Now they believe in their victories
Those who believe in absolutely nothing
But their own ego

Granting themselves power like that

Yet this is no fight nor a battle nor war
This is total destruction for all
Even for them

So there is no more victory for any of us
There is no hope on the whole world
For no one

Only those might have a slight chance
Who regret that he, you know, was far too early
And vote accordingly

Able to get it all
Just like that

Finally Frankfurt
So how did I get here
From Mannheim
Never seen again after birth
Via Munich
Real snow and close mountains
Via the Upper Rhine Lowlands
Always good natured
Via Teutoburg Forest
Where the summers stopped
Via Luneburg Heath
Beautifully purple
Via the amazing Ammerland
Via a Dursleyish Surrey
Via Munster
Bells and all
That is the route
That's just about it
Roughly spoken

And there's another route
Worth mentioning
Dependig on the way
I wish to remember it
From Piele to Pino to Adi
That is from all the Seasons via
Ashes to Ashes to
What I am is what I am
Edie to the core
Than another Pino
Rather Pierre
Who introduced me to
Cyrano de Bergerac
Short term though
Then
Lost in the woods
Finding Marquardt
More bear than dog
Self-absorbed like all bears
And after
A short escape route called
Laws of the Universe or
Nils sometimes
Trouble on a plate I say
Not to mention the Dragon
Just for the fun of it
And that's it with these

Not to forget
Mixing in Mo aka Sunny
Just kisses
And Bianca
Much more
And my greatest love
Of all times
Heix
Heartbreaking though
Just like my last
Infatuation only
A half French shining Eastern star
A little dream of What's Up
PiNK singing for her goddess

The route was the goal
Back then
That's all gone now
Since I prefer a city as my companion
Before all other relations
No treachery
No disappointments
No lies
We know each other so well
After twenty-eight years
And there is still lots to discover
I won't manage to learn everything
Before I go to ground
When she'll take my ashes
Silently
And so it should be
There should always be
Some secrets left

I remember the ending of
Hamam the movie
Frankfurt can be on a par
With Istanbul in many ways
I could be this woman
Alone with my city till the end
So cool
The problem is
I don't smoke

P.S.
I didn't mention my friends here
Nor family
No offence intended
Since of course
Love could never have too many faces!

As you can see, this was a journey, too!

Hey you
Behind your curtain
Peeking down on me
Too scared to show yourself
Hiding from the world
Taking part only by spying on others
Not knowing what it feels like
To be seen
To be known
To be cared for
To see
To know
To care
I pity you
