Disappearing
The day he first told me he was starting to disappear I didn't believe him
& so he stopped & held his hand up to the sun
& it was like thin paper in the light
& finally I said you seem very calm for a man who is disappearing
& he said it was a relief
after all those years
of trying to keep the pieces of his life in one place.
Later on, I went to see him again
& as I was leaving, he put a package in my hand.
This is the last piece of my life, he said,
take good care of it
& then he smiled
& was gone
& the room filled with the sound of the wind
& when I opened the package there was nothing there
& I thought there must be some mistake or maybe I dropped it
& I got down on my hands & knees
& looked until the light began to fade
& then slowly I felt the pieces of my life fall away gently
& suddenly
I understood what he meant
& I lay there for a long time
crying
& laughing at the same time.

Βλέπω πλήθος κόσμο να κυλά
μα ψυχή δε μου χαμογελά
τα κρεβάτια τ’ άρρωστα παιδιά
και στα δέντρα ξερά τα κλαδιά
Την αγάπη πέταξα σ’ ένα βυθό
και το φόβο μου έστρωσα να κοιμηθώ.
Βρίσκω τάφους κι έναν κόσμο
που δεν πονά.
Όπου πάω κι ένα λάθος
με τυραννά.
Ποιος προφήτης τώρα θ΄ ακουστεί
σα φωνή σε στέρνα κλειστή;
Σ’ έναν κόσμο άδειο κι ορφανό
ποια κραυγή απ΄ τον ουρανό;
Τα πουλιά παράτησα στις ερημιές
και το φως σπατάλησα στις γειτονιές.
Δεν τον θέλω και φοβάμαι
το γυρισμό.
Δες ποιος είμαι που πηγαίνω
για το χαμό.
μα ψυχή δε μου χαμογελά
τα κρεβάτια τ’ άρρωστα παιδιά
και στα δέντρα ξερά τα κλαδιά
Την αγάπη πέταξα σ’ ένα βυθό
και το φόβο μου έστρωσα να κοιμηθώ.
Βρίσκω τάφους κι έναν κόσμο

story people
The World Itself: When she held out her arms, the world itself wrapped around me & held me tight.
True Things: They came to sit & dangle their feet off the edge of the world & after awhile they forgot everything but the good & true things they would do someday.
Illusion of Control: If you hold on to the handle, she said, it's easier to maintain the illusion of control. But it's more fun if you just let the wind carry you.
Kindred Spirits: You're the strangest person I ever met, she said & I said you too & we decided we'd know each other a long time.
Life Plan: I asked her what she planned to do with her life & she said she was way beyond that point already. I'm just happy I remember to be there when it happens, she said.
Lost in the Translation: There are some days when no matter what I say it feels like I'm far away in another country & whoever is doing the translating has had far too much to drink
Making Room: When I first met her, I knew in a moment I would have to spend the next few days re-arranging my mind so there'd be room for her to stay.
Is willing to accept that she creates her own reality except for some of the parts where she can't help but wonder what the hell she was thinking
She laid on my chest & her breathing filled me almost to beyond what I could hold.
im on a 30 day diet i ve lost 15 days already
I just ate my willpower
confusion not only reigns, it pours
you know sometimes when you stop to think and you forget to start again?
they sat side by side at the morning light and looked at the future together
the real reason
I read once that the ancient Egyptians had fifty words for sand & the Eskimos had a hundred words for snow. I wish I had a thousand words for love, but all that comes to mind is the way you move against me while you sleep & there are no words for that.
There has never been a day when I have not been proud of you, I said, though some days I'm louder about other stuff so it's easy to miss that.
Most people don't know there are angels whose only job is to make sure you don't get too comfortable & fall asleep & miss your life.
Are you a princess? I said & she said I'm much more than a princess, but you don't have a name for it yet here on earth.
I used to have eyes in the back of my head, she said, but I kept throwing my back out & my chiropractor made me stop.
bittersweet
She said she usually cried at least once each day not because she was sad, but because the world was so beautiful & life was so short.
She loved her for almost everything she was & she decided that was enough to let her stay for a very long time.
I was waiting for such a long time, she said. I thought you forgot. It's hard to forget, I said, when there is such an empty space when you are gone.
I used to wait for a sign, she said, before I did anything. Then one night I had a dream & an angel in black tights came to me & said, you can start any time now, & then I asked is this a sign? & the angel started laughing & I woke up. Now, I think the whole world is filled with signs, but if there's no laughter, I know they're not for me.

a very bad translation
i'm pretty, naughty and sweet
very expressive and love to make faces
i like to play taboo, guess which movie and other such games
i speak nicely without hidden messages neither do i understand them
i know how to listen to you and cheer you up
i know how to smile at you and i love to tell you how beautiful you are
i feel how you feel and what your intentions are
i am relaxed and cool
not ashamed for the things i know
or for those i dont know
and i am grateful
open minded
if you like me... i ll probably like you
because you know, it is essential for me to like you... that you like me
i want to tell you what i think of you
and what i want to do to you
i want to speak out my mind
and say sorry instead of thats just me
i expect the same from you
i m not too sensitive nor a snake
you dont need to be afraid of me
of my intentions or my honesty
i talk a lot to myself, we re the best of friends
i love to speak to others hardly come to a close
i hope you are also talkative, warm, funny and that you smell good
you love the whole world
avoid stepping on the slugs on the pavement
you smile wide and laugh out loud
and that my cats will love you
i want to cook sth good for you whic you ll appreciate
let it melt in your mouth while you re melting too
i like gifts and sweet words
when you think of me
when you tell me how beautiful i am when i laugh
and when i do sth well
i want you to caress me, hug, kiss
an miss me
fulfill all my desires coz you cant resist me
accept me with no inhibitions
and love me unconditionally!

time to go home
time to go home

done a lot
learned a lot
loved a lot
laughed a lot
cried a lot
time to go home

my one sister can sing pretty damn well
I can dance, more or less.
the little one can neither sing nor dance but she goes ahead and does both anyway. which is a very admirable thing dont you think. i think so and i think that maybe one day she might be able to do both, just because she's been practicing... ok so she fell down and broke her ankle last fall. that kind of scared her so now she is always looking at her feet... and fear is really not a good thing either when you are trying to dance or ANYTHING.
so anyway I took The Dog out after lunch for a walk. the streets all around the neighborhood were icy and slippery. we walked. we walked some more. trying to keep balance so as not to fall... then I almost lost my balance... tried for several seconds to keep standing... maybe half a minute... tried so hard my thighs hurt. then I thought to myself, what the heck, Id better fall than hurt myself trying to stay up! and it dawned on me that well you know what maybe falling isnt such a bad thing after all, actually it is the natural thing when the road is so icy and slippery. and it is maybe stupid to try so hard to stay up you lose so much energy while you can just fall and get up again which could actually take you less time, too, than trying to balance yourself on ice with all your strength and then fall anyway.
its not so bad to fall. it is not half as bad as one expects. it seems the fear is greater than the pain and falling can even be kinda fun.
so after this little piece of wisdom striked me I just got back home and took out my little sister and told her we were going out to have some fun... i mean it was a perfectly icy road and it wasnt really cold so there was my chance. little did she know what i had in mind. we just went out there and started running around and pushing each other and playing with the dog and just kept falling. of course it wasnt so easy to convince a teenager virgo to just let go and let fall. so first i explained she had to learn how to fall so that she wont break her ankle or anything else for that matter next time. that seemed to do the trick, you just have to give her a good reason and she will go along with pretty much anything because she trusts her oldest sister (ME!)
so there we continued... falling and getting up and falling again and all over. it was fun. yes we got our butts all blue but who cares. we learned how to fall. even more important, we learned not to be afraid to fall because its so much fun to get back up especially when you have your sister and your dog around to cheer on you and then push you right back down.
so after a couple hours when we had fallen enough times to be called the rainbow kids for the next two weeks we went home and had a tea and sugar feast...
I can dance, more or less.

if only you had known
how much i would miss you
every day
trying to run away from your absence i miss your presence even more
your eyes
your mystery
WHY?
I loved you so
would you have...?
why didnt i
why didnt you
and what does it matter now
if i had known
and if you had, too
well maybe ill learn now
to follow my own rules
never go for sth I dont really want...
or actually, that i dont need at all
and at last, that if I want green, and have always wanted green, then stop going for blue for liliths sake...
you are always in my mind
i carry you with me
you know how far we ve gone?
i see you in every raven i cross paths with
i love ravens
they take my breath away
they look a lot like you
you are here, there and
everywhere
and yes i loved you
and yes it was all my mistake
and yes i am oh so sorry
only hoping to meet again
at the end of time
just so i could get things clear and the truth restored
and tell you
that yes i loved you
and yes it was all my mistake
and yes i am oh so sorry
if only i had not been so blind and stupid
but at least, i m learning...
how much i would miss you
every day
trying to run away from your absence i miss your presence even more
your eyes
your mystery

weeping willow tree by Monika Arnett
In the midst of an enchanted, crystal forest
lies my soul,
beneath a weeping willow
tree.
On the shadowed side of this
mystical haven,
heart beats as thunder warns of a
raging storm!
Yesterday went well in deeds, but
silence
fell upon me...
words could not express these
lonesome thoughts.
I closed my eyes to shut the doors of reality.
Must you always need to understand me;
shan't I keep a bit of mystery for my sake?
These eyes plead,
as I look up to you
for such moments of
peace and tranquility.
Tears have fallen to the earth--
drops that glisten on blades of grass,
even in the dark of night;
stars shine brighter in my sight!
Today, I remember sharing my life
with you;
Vows of love and friendship, forever
spoken;
and now,
I lie alone beneath a
weeping willow tree.
Tommorrow, I shall walk alongside a
never-ending creek.
lies my soul,
beneath a weeping willow
tree.
On the shadowed side of this
mystical haven,
heart beats as thunder warns of a
raging storm!

stress
the karins are gone
MY karins are gone
MY karin is gone
can't bring her back.
off she went and killed herself
why, oh, why, she wouldnt tell
well ok the one whose last two attempts to kill herself with valium have failed, that one wants me back. she said we never broke up really now, did we?
well i don't know
one day you make plans and the next you don't know me
and we never broke up?
i thought you ended it
how can i trust again?
would be a fool now wouldn't I ?
for the third time?
isn't it a tiny weeny bit too much?
I ain't going to peru
I'm goin home
give me time
let me think about it
let me think things over
let me mourn
i lost my closest friend
that i loved
i used to love you too
do i still love you?
can't tell right now
how does that feel?
it's for real
maybe i find my trust again
maybe i won't
maybe you'll change your mind till then
not the patient kind, are you?

geschenke suchen
ich habe dieses jahr keine lust dazu, zu suchen oder zu basteln oder was auch immer. aber die leute die ich liebe verdienen was mehr als meine leere.
zum glück hab ich die lösung gefunden. schenke CDs, die ich mag. klein, es bleibt lange, und die leute haben was wirklich von dir, weil unsere lieblingsmusik in einer weise unsere seele widerspiegelt.
nur meine ist im moment etwas zerstückelt, hier und dort, überall und nirgendwo, versuche ihr nachzurennen, aber wohin? muss sie erst wieder einfangen, zusammenkleben. zwei grosse stücke kann ich nicht zurückholen. in liebe, hoffnung und glauben sollten sie nachwachsen

Barefoot, I would
When the sun goes down here
And darkness falls
The blanket of winter
Leaves no light at all
You search for shelter
To calm the storm
Shaking with an instinct
Just to stay warm
I'd walk through the snow barefoot
If you'd open up your door
I'd walk through the snow barefoot
You hear the howling
Of dogs and wind
Stirring up the secrets
That are frozen within
The ice will haunt you
It lays so deep
Locking up inside you
The dreams that you keep
I'd walk through the snow barefoot
If you'd open up your door
I'd walk through the snow barefoot
This wind ... through my soul ... blows cold
I'd walk through the snow barefoot
If you'd open up your door
I'd walk through the snow barefoot
dk lang
And darkness falls

It lays so deep
Locking up inside you
The dreams that you keep
I'd walk through the snow barefoot
If you'd open up your door
I'd walk through the snow barefoot
This wind ... through my soul ... blows cold
I'd walk through the snow barefoot
If you'd open up your door
I'd walk through the snow barefoot

περί έρωτος και άλλων δαιμονίων
I wish a falling star could fall forever
And sparkle through the clouds and stormy weather
And in the darkness of the night
The star would shine a glimmering light
And hover above our love
Please hold me close and whisper that you love me
And promise that your dreams are only of me
When you are near, everything’s clear
Earth is a beautiful heaven
Always I hope that we follow the star
And be forever floating above
I know a falling star can’t fall forever
But let’s never stop falling in love
When you are near, everything’s clear
Earth is a beautiful heaven
Always I hope that we shine like the star
And be forever floating above
I know a falling star can’t fall forever
And let’s never stop falling in love
No let’s never stop falling in love
δεν θα πάει στο περού..... θα πάμε στο περού.....
για να δούμε, πού θα μας βγάλει.... νέα είμαι, 28.... έχω μερικά χρονάκια ακόμα να παίξω και να χάσω... νον;;
