Without You They Wither – A Romantic Poem of Blooming Love

A Romantic Poem of Blooming Love
Without You They Wither 💐

I buy the flowers for you,
for your wonderful smile,
the magic of being bound to you.
What could be lovelier than a heart
that leaps with joy?

Then you left,
on the last bus.
Your roses still stand
upon the round wooden table—
a small remembrance of you.

A touch of pink and red,
the white ones bow their heads
to the inevitable, too-swift death.
I must trim them once more,
to linger with you a little longer.

Without you they wither,
as does my little heart.
Yet when you appear—they bloom anew.
My heart knows this too:
plucked happiness.

You gather me up – an ending

You gather me up
when everything breaks.
You gather me up
when the heart shatters,
stops beating,
and nothing
flows through the veins.

You sweep up the pieces
and take me home with you.
You try to revive
what barely moves.
My T-shirt is stained with tears
and hardly dries
on the way to you.

Your bed rocks me into safety.
The silence and a loving embrace
soothe my heart for a moment.
Yet the night betrays unrest,
for my feelings rage so wildly inside me.
The cigarettes burn out in the kitchen.

All night I sit here now,
smoking one after another,
until the sun pushes the moon away.
I try to understand,
yawning at sunrise —
how could all this happen?

You gather me up
in the smoky morning air.
You make me breakfast,
a friend who never tries to ask.
You don’t seek the reasons,
you’re simply there for me.
Nothing is as it was.

What remains are rims of salt,
and the walk back into this world,
as if on a thousand needles.
Each one pierces straight into the heart,
digging the wounds deeper,
sending me into a haze.

Yet still,
you gather me up.

Do you see us?

Do you see us standing there in the future?
Living life together?
Where the hill is, where a little house kisses the ground?
Carrying me cheesily over the threshold?
Your clothes lying in the front garden,
When our love excites you.

Do you see us there
Standing by the trees?
Exchanging rings,
as if it had happened yesterday?
The gleam in your eyes
cannot hide
what we both believe.

Will you see us there?
Many years from now
walking hand in hand?
Thinking loving thoughts together?
Even if the peace in the house
are sometimes off balance?

Do you see us here
in this world,
where they crucify us
as in another time?
Just because we are different,
the two of us,
destined for love.

A letter of love

My love

I know it’s been a while.
There was this great sea
between us.
The sea of despair,
with waves of confusion.

We both had beliefs,
that didn’t fit and got in our way.
And yet, I can still feel
your aura.

Like when you walked into my room.
The feeling, the dance
and the whole surrounding.
So incomparably beautiful
and also stupid.

When you think about
how in love we were
and didn’t know what
we were doing from the start.

I know it’s been a long time and I’m writing,
because I can’t get rid of this feeling.
That – there was more.
Even though times have passed,
I have a certain restlessness inside me.

The little head game: „What if?“
And the small fear of having missed something.
Here it is now. My thought.
I gather all my courage.
Clearly against my sense of reason.

Look for me where we once were,
when we confessed our love for each other!
Because I’ve been here for a while,
spending my time with the tides,
with my thoughts by your side.
