Beschreibung

AnyWay is not a translation of Tom's German poems but a stand-alone compilation of an English "SideStep". Also, Tom ventured into the AI universe and brought several poems to life by converting them into videos (see links inside the book). AnyWay marks the first of a short series of English poems.

Leseprobe

AnyWay,

the centrifugal forces of life pull you apart … anyway the crossroads of temptation lead you astray … anyway your train of thought flies through cutting knifes … anyway Tom's poems drift through space and time … anyway

This selection of poems is dedicated to those, who dream in

languages other than their mother tongue … just like Tom …

anyway

DON'T KILLIN MY NAME

When you go hunting your prey

Please don't do it in my name

I'm too far to put you straight away

So don't call me in your act of shame

I'm sure someone twisted your brain

In your lonely, darkest hours

But your name will be far from fame

And your grave will be absent of flowers

I will spit on your restless soul

When it hits the door of hell

You will suffer on an itchy pole

In Lucifer's most stinky well

All the promises that made you go astray

Are nothing else than useless whisper

To put you from the pan into the fray

Turning a helpless soul into a murderous twister

Do unto yourself, what you plan to do to others

But, don't kill in my name!

I will not dry the tears of crying mothers

Nor will I join in your bloody game

ROLLER COASTER

Failing the beat

My heart just trembles

Releasing all its heat

Exploding in shambles

At least the pain is gone

Give me more of that!

It turns the last moment into fun

I can see a rabbit in my hat

Let's ride the last train together

The roller coaster is steaming

I take out my only feather

Because my soul bird is leaving

At the top of the ride

I set my feather free

There is nothing more to hide

My heart is humming like a bee

My soul bird catches the rising wind

It's climbing high above the clouds

All the bad memories remain unskinned

It feels like floating above the cheering crowds

The roller coaster comes to a halt

With the brakes screeching

The last breath comes out cold

While my soul bird the sun is reaching

MOMENT BEFORE RESURRECTION

It is dark inside your womb

I can feel your rising anxiety

But I like it inside this cosy tomb

And feel no urge to join the society

I have chosen you so wisely

Having waited desperately in the shadows for ages

My last life taught me acting precisely

And how to avoid falling victim to mankind's rages

This time I got the timing right

The world is calling upon me

The moment comes to show my might

And the prophet I'm going to be

Last time I failed my mission

I was riding hard and fast

But I had lost my holy vision

And my journey did not last

Mother! This time you give me new power

Coming straight from the purest heart

I hear my calling from the ringing-tower
