Beschreibung

your touch on my skin, a poetry book. For about one year, it has accompanied me through one of my most eventful years until now. It deals with the topics of young love and the grave consequences that come with love. But most importantly, it was influenced by my coming-out in September 2018. Therefore, it also makes sexuality as great theme of this book. It is subdivided into five categories: to love, to hurt, to realize, to accept and to appreciate outlining the development of both love and growing up.

TO LOVE

it was like a roller coaster ride:

i was shy at the beginning

next, you took me in your arms

and gently caressed my cheek

and my forehead

told me how beautiful i was

screamed and laughed with me

when all of a sudden,

you left me alone

because it was all over again

i’m drinking the exact same cocktail he

and million others do

i’m breathing the exact same salty sea air he

and thousand others do

i’m watching the exact same sunset he

and hundreds of others do

but he’s the only one making me really jumpy

with his blue eyes

with his bright smile

with his beautiful hair

no one but he can make my days

the most beautiful in the world

you are the one i really can count on

the one i can escape to if i’m in trouble

the one who dries my tears

and puts a smile on my lips

the one representing the closest electron

at the nucleus of an atom

this is you. i love you.

we both lie on our backs – naked.

this strong feeling occurs

when two people who are loving each other

from deep down

stare at the same night sky

observe the same shooting stars

listening to the sounds the crickets make

with this feeling inside of me,

i turn to him.

it wasn’t that bad

everyone said to me.

it wasn’t hurtful or anything

because he was nice to me.

he was gentle, careful

and wonderful.

he is wonderful –

that’s why it was pleasurable.

i put my head on his chest

and soon begin to sleep.

‘remember that: during the day,

i watch over you as the sun.

even if you can’t see me.

remember, one day – if the clouds

take your view and everything seems grey –

i will be there.

remember that: i keep watching over you at night.

i am one of the millions of stars

in the night sky and will shine, only for you’

she said, kissed me and closed her eyes.

the greatest happiness

seemed unapproachable

to me to this day

not even nearly tangible

what words cannot describe

but now i know what it means:

to have you in my life

one morning you will get up because of the chirping of the birds. peace.

the sun is shining through the windows and you think you can start right away without any interruptions. stupid thought.

you turn enthusiastically to the side and stare at your phone screen just to check if everything’s alright.

oh. it’s this someone you admire. that one person you never want to lose. someone you strongly love. but actually, you don’t even know who this someone actually is.

but that doesn’t matter because this someone has texted you the sweetest message of all time. you can no longer lift your gaze from the single letters which together can only mean one thing. i love you. heart emoji.

you look at the picture, someone sent you yesterday, again and again. why does it always have to be people that cannot be here? people who physically cannot sit next to you right now. people who always cannot kiss you right now.

but just because you can’t see and feel someone in real life right now doesn’t have to mean that this couldn’t be your future someday.

the bird, which always remains unreachable for you, makes you come back to the present. but it’s only a bird with wings.

you were like the few words and the melody

you know from this old song

you haven’t heard in a long time

and soon begin to google for

you were like the joy after

having searched for it days and days

and finally seeing that song cover

it’s everywhere the same

sometimes you lose sight

sometimes it needs time

to find to each other again

but in the end, it’s like

retrieving a forgotten one –

making the bound even stronger.

i love you.
