Zywa Quartermaster

I'm a servant, I give -- space
to inspiration and objections
I fill myself with wishes
and pour them out into decisions
until contentment flows over

I don't hear complainers complain
they encourage, never getting lost
in expectations

The profit is just a balance
of round-off differences
expenditure becomes income
in the space -- of the living together
where everyone is in the middle

of nowhere special, nowhere people
everywhere, on their way to nowhere
because they are already there

Zywa Love in full Light

A comet strikes, the Light
disappears in the earth, it gets cold
a winter of hunger and disease

that destroys, and then
a new beginning
in the spring, the return

of the Light, the Light:
trees and shrubs burst out
birds are singing with desire

the white deer sniffs
between the birches and looks
at the Light, the Light

Oh my love, the Light, the Light

is back, come outside
I want to run, cheer, jump
and feel that you lust after me

I want to roll with you in the grass
making love in the sun, making love
in full Light, the Light

is back and everything sings
of life, o my love
the Light, the Light
the Light, the Light

is back and everything sings
of life, o my love
the Light, the Light
the Light, the Light

Zywa My good friend

He is unreachable, night and day
a dream that won't let me go
We know everything about him

In his garden, we find something
tangible, a ladder, it challenges us
I climb to the bathroom window

Inside, we touch the cups
from which he drinks tea
but not with me

We take pictures of underwear
try on shirts and keep one on
It's not even exciting:

just sneaking in with a bit of stealing
nothing valuable missing
Maybe it's childish

but to me, he's a good friend
After playing tennis, we shower together
and we wear each other's clothes

real contact, night and day

Zywa HeartWood

I came for you, not for the wood
that you make me touch, polished
with a goldjointed split here and there --

the simplicity-beauty
of the song of time on the lute
of life, your life

You show me the snaps
and stretch the evening, you stretch yourself
to the goodnight in the hallway

In the guest bed, I caress the wood
of your heart, so much do I want
to make it burn

not to sleep alone, not patiently
wait, but start the future
which you are now dreaming

great, not patiently wait
until you want me, I want to love you
at first sight

Zywa Enough endings

I make up enough endings
in my mind, knowing
that life continues
with little metabolism
of what ceases to exist
but it is difficult

to take it lightly
while you feel it happening
My heart does want to breathe
wisdom, but it needs blood
to feel the warmth of love
flowing in me, in and out

receiving and giving
around the earth, gathering
in the sea, the salmon swim
back and forth, it snows and rains
the hazel is in bloom
and will give a basket full of nuts

The moon reminds me
of my dreams, the joy
of singing, the playing
that started everything

No burden on our shoulders
no mutual resentment
The sacred must
has flowed away from us

gone out into the world
compelling and excessive, childishly
demanding that it is time
to grow up

but I already am
and the burden of my life remains
mine, perhaps lighter
if we carry it together

Zywa Start over

Accumulating money changes
into worries until it overflows
and gets into unknown hands

which run away
with my motivation
to continue

Freed from Mondays
I enter space
and I feel the magic

of possibilities

My dear, pack your suitcase

On the back of the dragon
we fly through the gate
and start over

on the large bed
of mother earth
We teach our children to sing

Zywa Everything perfect

The prince wants and demands, everything
must be perfect, he will
become the king, with the sceptre
of gold, his is of silver
smeared with blood
of the solutions he comes up with
for another problem in reverse

His arm is strong, the silver is pure
and the world is a forge
for his hammering hand

The prince plays the jester, he laughs
at the seriousness of his life, he does
what nobody else is allowed to do
and if anyone says anything about it
the girls start screaming
Bloody Murder
They want to marry him

His arm is strong, the silver is pure
and the world is a forge
for his hammering hand

Zywa Twined around

It's no longer
what it used to be, often
you are not there, not with me
darling, that's not good
because you love me

Your tendrils grow close to me
bars around my freedom, darling
that's not good for me
not good for you

You like to discover the world
by my hand, proudly
show the princess you lead
by your steady hand, as far
as you dare to go

to change and to embrace
more than you already know
but more often, you are not there
not with me, not by my side

Zywa Dirty old dog

In the dense net of roots
lives the dog, the dirty dog
that everyone knows, but never
speaks to or looks at, a glimpse
of that dirty old dog is enough

Persephone takes him
above the ground, hidden
between her legs, he looks
at the Queen of the country
waving in a golden coach

He is a King himself
in his own world
content with his fate
content with his fame
as a dirty old dog

Life is fleeting
but human knowledge
feeds the earth, new roots
grow new rooms to
the old dog's home

the dirty old dog
dirty old dog

with real dreams, fairies

decorated with cans and glass

Come, join us soon if you are free
everyone on board, everyone a cheer

Join us, don't disagree

here you can be friends forever

The skies ahead are heavenly
there is music, there is plenty
of everything, just avoid the virtues
the household and the clues

of life as long as we are in the flow
And afterwards, without the rainbow
there'll be the pleasure of floating around
a bit until we run aground

Come, none of us at all does mind
whether you are the diver's kind
because we're also friends ashore
Come, don't stand aside no more

Other people's wind blows
along your house and my house
with old songs that we hum
when sweeping the floor

We look at Déjà vu
once more and we dance
in thoughts, in real life

My breath is precious, every minute
twelve times pain and misery
twelve times the gentle wind
that conforms, that snuggles up

against the busy people
as a knowledge that we exist --
a reaching embrace
with always thinner kisses

with my swan arm one by one
the grapes above our heads
gracefully to your longing mouth

Or does your desire look too far

whether it will stay that way?
I don't know, I don't know
We shall see, you are with me
     Do you feel what I feel?

The smile in your eyes
sucks me in your heart
that's nice, we kiss
the light of heaven
and the goodness of the earth
     Do I feel what you feel?

beautiful, it makes beautiful
what we do, do not doubt

Are there friends you can reach?
Yes, people need friends for a helping hand

Are there friends at your work?

Are there friends at your home?

People in need -- in a game
of Truth is Dare and Do
I fly in, in a cape, swift as an arrow

and get entangled, sticking
to the strings that I weave
of the help that I give

I put my hands out, so softly
you take them with the heroic power
that jumps over, you smile --

In the world to help, to help
each other, right
if only

you are with me
and know my questions
and spoil me with attention

We are no longer teenagers
yet we still fly back and forth
to help each other, time after time

People are too short old
and too long young, they don't
become as wise as brownies

They have little profit
from the lessons they draw
from pain and pleasure, and

from the lessons they ignore
because they prefer to believe
in what the world promises

because they prefer to believe
it is within reach
and the prospect is worth it

to keep waiting
and I can't do anything about it
I'm just a rainbow

that is never there where you are
a gate on the horizon
where all the exits come together

and tough jackboots like a soldier
with muscles, or an open waistcoat
with a mini skirt like a virgin, always
conquering the instincts around her

In Coco's dress, she parades on Jersey
the transparent plastic rustles
every time I kiss it
passers-by take photos
she is in the newspapers

Spring has begun
old desires wake up
people get aroused
and inspired to let themselves go
she is an example

everyone sees her, but doesn't know who she is
flowers cover her bare body
she charms soldiers and virgins
with instincts, singing her praises
and creating life

Understanding misunderstood others
With attention, my password
and the master key in my genes

Kicking, I already paid attention
Not yet capable of anything else
as a baby, and as an adult
no one should have to unlearn it

and no one should have to claim it
when they feel hurt
by hurt people, are wronged
by the world

of sham adults
Come, I'm coming, just swallow
your reproaches
for a kiss
