Lonely Goodbye
for those who, wherever, have to
die lonely
Chilly the room
the white walls
audible only
the echo of loneliness.
Not a tender word anymore
no warm embrace
just the time,
a leaking tap,
ticking.
None knocking at the door
nobody you expect,
no one, except death.
Unique Amalgam
There is a time
where the soul descends
down to the deepest of being
to retire
of her never-ending fate
of eternity
the mind and the body
committed to the earth
unique amalgam
of memories
entrusted
to the night.
Borrowed Dawn
With its hand of shadow and
darkness
unraveled the evening
the defenseless light
unraveled the future
the magic
the borrowed dawn
pulled out of the wick
shed the oil
extinguished time.
***
When a sun
who knows no more dawn
dies away
in its own light
and the night
extinguishes her stars
snaps the stem
tears the leaf.
Corona Heiku
Poems
Left in the grey air
as unfulfilled desires
smoke of cremation
*
Hankering for dawn
but it won’t rise for them
corona victims
*
The blackbirds wonder
why the streets are so empty
sorrowful their songs
*
A knock at the door
a faint light in the darkness
only for a while
*
Floating in the air
white and grey clouds
funeral notices
*
Springtime: sun and light
a blackbird sings the praises of
life
splinters in his soul
*
With such fervent red
flourish the magnolias
but he has to leave
*
Like waves at the shore
good memories returning
nobody to share
*
A medical check
everything under control
but who can see it?
*
It is back again
the screeching of the crickets
for them no lock down
*
Paradise flowers
piously bowing their heads
not for earthly gods
*
They came back again
the lock down could not stop
them
the swallows of spring
*
Blooming oranges
spread an enchanting perfume
messages of hope
