Armored

And you have to get up today
and straighten your back
to stand up once more
even if you’re shaky and afraid
of what needs to be done
and the task seems difficult
Just breathe
feel that anchor, that bond
with him, your precious beloved
and be armored with
the power of love

She Believes In Him

It got dark
as the sun dimmed
and clouded himself
with self-sabotaging thoughts
But she believed in him
She had seen his light
Her eyes had caught it
and had kept it burning
in her heart
along with her own light
Inside of her their flames
always danced and shined
together as one

And the sun, who watched her
from a distance
hiding behind clouds, wondered:
How come she shines so bright?
Until he truly dared to look into her
and saw his own reflection
he saw she was his moon

It was the moment that the sun
started to believe in himself
that the dark dissolved
and the light broke through

Our World

We let the world be the world
with its drawn lines, drawn borders
its wide, blue painted seas,
its scale of distance,
separate countries
and we step into our own world
in which the only lines we draw
are those of poetry
we draw with our fingers
on each other
and the only distance we measure
is between two kisses
