the void
Sometimes I feel all alone
Going on on my own
Feeling empty and shallow
Nothing, all hollow
I sit in my darkness
awaiting a goddess
waiting for nothing
for silence to fall
Embracing the shadows
grazing on meadows
in my deepest soul
Feeding on nothing
but feeling it burn
Longing for something
For something to yearn
Feeling quite lonely
but only quite
for there is only
One feeling light
He is inside me
He is me
But to see him
is often hard

Arne has replied to Sherry ~ RebujitoI'm still not quite sure as to why these words came in English (and I hope it's not too much gibberish
Still it feels very good to have written them...
...isn't the variety and the contrast of feelings that make life so marvellous?

what most hit me - liguistically - was the play of words in
Feeling quite lonely
but only quite
playing with words like this, i think English was as a good a language for expression as German would've been.
Arne has replied to Lodchjo - leaving so…I like that part too...
And no doubt, of course English or any other spoken language is good for expressing yourself in a poetic way.
But I think it's a lot harder to express yourself in another language than your mother tongue. So nearly all of my poems are german.
When I wrote this one, I didn't sit down and think "Ok let's try some in English now". It just came out this way.
