Typhoon

Typhoon drowns

Lashing sounds

Coming at my window

All curled up

Won’t wake up

And see what is outside

Mud and rain,

Puddles again

I can’t walk down the stairs.

So much water

Wet slaughter

My crops have been smothered

Shovel and clean

Does it mean

We push through and survive?

Heavy winds,

Clattering dim

I hope my house is strong.

Fingers crossed

Wrapped up warm

I’m counting till it’s gone.

HAIKU - Chime

Suddenly loud sounds

Wake me from my deep slumber

Heavily ringing.

HAIKU - Winter

Feet buried in snow

Icy cold, fingers frozen

Cold blizzard blowing.

pot luck

Remember, not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful store of luck!

Getting what you want is like having free credit there!!

I am the sunflower.

A small plant, I begin;

Green, small leaves and so thin.

I will grow so tall soon.

I am the sunflower.

I rise up every day.

Best to plant me in May.

See my big leaves just grow.

I am the sunflower.

Watch leaves suddenly appear,

Higher, Higher, I sear.

Sunshine makes me happy.

I am the sunflower.

Yellow, is my round face

Standing high, full of grace.

Petals round, one big smile.

I am the sunflower.

In fields I stand with friends,

With our joy, happiness we spread.

Tell the sunshine to ne'er stop.

I am the sunflower.

Sudd'nly, my leaves turn black.

Dry weather, no water, soil cracked.

Stopping head down in shame.

I am the sunflower.

One big chop, goodbye stem.

My summer is over once again.

Fear not friend, I shall return, for

I am the sunflower.

I don't even know you

I don't even know you,
Yet, today you made me smile.

I don't even know you,
But I can move one step forward.

You wrote a few words
They weren't even heard,
But they didn't go unnoticed.

How do I thank you?
A stranger?
A friend?
The support I needed to get to the end.

I don't even know you,
I can't even thank you,
Not directly anyhow.

I don't even know you,
But I certainly won't forget you.

Der Kusse

DER KÜSSE

It’s definitely in the kiss

In the connection of the lips

When the tongues meet

You know when sparks will fly.

The conversation in the bedroom

Doesn’t have to happen that soon

Time will let love run its course.

To gaze and to wonder

To have and to hold

How can we find the love

With whom we will grow old?

It’s in the meeting of the

The eye

The lips

And then the heart

What a path

To eternal bliss.

There is someone for everyone

But to find them is hard

So to love and to lose is so sad.

But there are more in the world

To win our hearts and our love

And to share the times of happiness.

So when I find you I will hold you

And love every lingering kiss.
