Virago

the next book is done, just missing the heroine
who will be crowned if her head is the right size
she´ll rides blind and round
and wears a white golden gown
hooray for the virago, virgin gigolo
who fills our rusty seas with milk
and shows the fish how to swim and dive in
holy water to the land and playing behind her
the fish band puts up a camp
and grills the teacher so...neat
we need someone to whip and hang
biggest drums to bang (and) priest gang to damn
Put(s) a spear through the queens head
and sing songs of what she said
write a tale how she lived in the temple we dreamed
she is the grail, she is the bliss and the french kiss
(she is)not his sister, nor nor maid, abbedissa
she is the mistress, matador, the martyr
praise her name!
she walks, chubby angels sing
walking, to the heavenly hymn
she falls and the chubbies weep
follow, follow, follow her trails
follow, follow, follow her way
follow... the aisle coming down from heaven
she was worthy, our matador on heels
the eunuch choir sob and pop champagne
and the fish tango on her grave
the priest are writing a sequel to the tale
the (brown) mule turned into a unicorn
while doves fly the queens way

build and island inlands
skyline the great wall
moats circling
plastic trees in white sand, grass crystal clear
the sun shines bright from steel and glass
creates an illusion of the promised land
but its a zoo, with its mysks and parfymes
my brother, my sister, can´t we see
the cages are concealed
we walk in slumber the beautiful lagoon is a scene
fruit and flower grow hand in hand on the tree
watch green turn to steel and tangerine to a tinmeal
sunbeams reflect from steel and glass
burn the fruit and flower to ash
and ivories from far far east
deny, your brother
am I a mirage
deny, your brother
how lovely illusion?
and the night is a nightmare because of the fake lights
spitroast, fireworks, sugary hays
even the bravest lion is tamed
deny, your brother
am I a mirage
deny, your brother
how lovely illusion?
My brother, my flower
my sister, my tree
my mother, my home

Stars & Metaphors
07:46

I´m looking for a star
to be my lady among the gods
When I climbed to Olympos I only saw the dark sky
Now my eyes enchanted
as far as they can reach
Observatory my coffin
until she finds me
Orion is the soloist in my song
played in the sky on and on...and on...
the white keys a choir coming along
Only I hear this funeral song
The telescope a gramophone
repeating the ceremony
and in the end
I´m always praising
the eulogy
-in memoriam, we salute you...
The Lyra has the tone of an antiq(ue) harp
My favourite voice belongs to the Virgo
with the Pegasus I ride to the other galaxies
but the Gemini is like a twin to me
and when the Scorpius stings I know I´m alive
(and I) drink from the vase of the GU.LA
(and I) put on the northern crown
but still...
(I´m) starving
until I´ll see my twinkling lady
dancing in the sky
ending the ceremony
(I´ll) hail to, hail, hail... her ecstasy
my sister was craving for a metaphor
that would have finished her finest song
a phrase or saying that would make her live
longer than the kings and their myths
they used to call her the tenth muse
(but for her) Mt. Helicon not high enough
and she overflows from the Pierian Springs
with the remains of her writings
she wrote metaphors to a faabels, odes and tales
jambis, limericks she improvised
and before love she sang a serenade
when I go to sleep she whistles the Hail Mary
The telescope a gramophone
repeating the ceremony
and in the end
I´m always praising the eulogy
-in memoriam, we salute you....
The Lyra has the tone of an antiq(ue) harp
My favourite voice belongs to the Virgo
with the Pegasus I ride to the other galaxies
but the Gemini is like a twin to me
and when the Scorpius stings I know I´m alive
(and I) drink from the vase of the GU.LA
(and I) put on the northern crown
but still...
knock, knock there´s a nun at my door
she brought me a star from her mosaic wall
and sattled a mule (as) white as pegasos
now let us fly before Orino awakes
(I´m) starving
until I´ll see my twinkling lady
dancing in the sky
ending the ceremony
(I´ll) hail to, hail, hail... her ecstasy

Safe Spiral

(there is) no help from the mint between her teeth
she will choke rather than ask for a relief
the shrink says its a bad mental hygiene thing
can we fool her to eat the pill?
the taste of toothpaste
don´t garlgle it, chew it
swallow the cough med
it´s for kids
let it down
and wash your hands
from the fairy dust
dinner is served
escape... in your play
escape...to fall back
(our) weeper smiles when she sees the tricks
on the porch a stage and the magician great
kids are getting bored, (but) will you stay?
soon its time for her (weekly) spiral play
magic and games
cant be the aid
rip the fairies wings
disappear with the nymphs
shrink knows your state
the dose twice a day
just let it down
escape... in your play
escape...to fall back
farewell...to all the solitude you felt..
escape one more time
you are not alone on the stage
someone will play
and when they are gone
i´ll stay and whisper the aid
let it help, you are saved,
it´s the aid,
let it help, you are saved,
it´s the aid... the mint
saved by the...saved by the mint

Veil Kite

i made us a kite from your veil
you weared it on our day
(un)till the wind blew it away
(and) it fluttered into an oak tree
but i fetched it and sewed it back together
now the veil is alive and it wants to fly
and skywrite our names next to the clouds
sometimes our love needs the breath of wind
i will tell you when its the right weather to go
i can take you as high, as high as our kite flies
and then pull you down, cause´ i´ll keep you safely on the ground,
make sure you find your way home
i can show you the sky, mountain tops and wonderful views
and then pull you down
(cause´) i know when you´ve seen it all
I´ll hold our love on the ground
make sure you find your way home, and wouldn´t fly too high
our love is happier like this
ain´t it what you have dreamed
I´ve told you a hundred times
safe is better than flying carelessly
the open sky is a cage you see
please don´t wonder whats beyond the stars
The sky azure is truly black
The mountain tops are nothing but slippery rocky paths
(and) rainbow fades (away) before you see all the shades
remember how you lost our veil?
you would´nt want to let it go (again)?
don´t try to cut the string
i will tie it back anyhow
i´ll take you, take you, take you as high, as high as our kite flies
(and) pull you, pull you, pull you down, (when you´ve seen it all)
if you cut it, cut it, cut the string, i´ll tie it, tie it, tie it again,
fly, fly, fly with our kite, don´t go, don´t go, too high,
i´ll pull you, pull you, pull you down, (when you´ve seen it all)
fly, fly, fly with our kite, don´t go, don´t go, too high ….

They havent seen the dawn
Only felt the sun and the waking trees
sleep heads down through out the day
inside their wings wrapped tight
Adrift in the wind, they have no time
Hide from daylight, it´s not for their eyes
and when its night, wings are spread wide
They take them afar, but are better for hiding in
We are adored in the night
as we dance and sing in delight
I can´t see without a song
I hear your voice and won´t get lost
We see only in the night
(We) don´t have a song for daylight
Sing, sing our song
sing, my wings fly along
Sing, sing our song
sing, I´ll sing along
but for how long
until dawn
how long
atleast till dawn
I´d love to know (If I) could love you more
So I prayed for a sight to my blind eyes
And woke in the morning in bright sunrise
Fell to the ground and lost my wings
The sun too bright for me to sing
I try to howl, but its not the same
Became a hound, without your love
I dream of waking in the night
Our song keeps me alive
but I´d love to be blind
Adrift in the wind, until the end
Hide from daylight, it´s not for their eyes
and when its night, wings are spread wide
They take them afar, but are better for hiding in
Sing, sing our song
sing, my wings fly along
Sing, sing our song
sing, I´ll sing along
but for how long
until dawn
how long
atleast till dawn
