Spells

This is a collection of someone else's phrases that somehow inspired me, or just bumped into my mind at some stage. Some of them are in English, some are in German, depending which sounded better for me at the time of writing.

I hope you like it anyway :-)

Ja, es war besser... (Herrmann Hesse)

Ja, es war besser, selber zu steuern und dabei in Scherben zu gehen, als immer von einem andern gefahren und gelenkt zu werden.
 

Long lonely ride

you've been driving on this course on and on
now you start to notice
all the unprogrammed features -
an indian shaman on the road
hitchhikers in trees,
long forgotten papetery of past rooms
you've been dwelling in
this is what you see in rock textures
suddenly your engine doesn't
sound like an old diesel anymore
it became a jet engine
white noise covers your senses and
you walk through an wide open door
without noticing it
dreamland comes so close
to this virtual reality
you get lost in dream
that used to be a simple thought
a second ago and crash
the longer you ride on this parcourt
your will to master that stupid game
descends

indian spirits and hitchikers in trees,
long forgotten wallpapers of past times
show up in the textures of this rock
you've passed so often
and once again you'll hear this girl
singing gently and you starve
for her warm soft lips
for her bright smile but...
her aeroplane takes off once again and
you're suddenly back in that vehicle
and you're off the track
you're supposed to keep
the windmills of your mind turn fast
until sunrise and
you realize this was only a rehearsal
just a piece of you that'd be hidden
well in your unconciousness
normally

 

rubberball dream

suddenly the dance is over
big magic rubberballs would cut your hair
and smaller ones made of steel roll up stairs
raining down from storm scattered clouds

and you'd hide in some bamboo shelter
listening to some grey haired wife
where you find secret book
written by insane missionars

when the balls rain down,
you'd better hide
you'd better wake up
happy birthday my dear
i hope you feel better now

 

2046 - 100 hours later

a shooting star and a granted wish
that was so wrong
just replayed a past scene
i'm happy now
i can't turn back the time
and you didn't talk to me
anymore

when you walk in the dark woods
in warm summer nights
if you 're lucky
you might see the fire flies
dancing

who does not resign
may hope to get his wish granted

 

Pink Floyd Sunday

Brown star-sparkeling eyes smiled at you
in an unexpectedly marvelous night.
The misty coffeedrunken morning after explodes
in churchbells-ringing sunshine
and suddenly it all makes perfect nonsense.

Dali's biography painted on Pink Floyd sounds
8 miles high your mind's flying in the sky
your head's turning fast, balancing
with glas shoes on the tone step composition of
tommorrow nights music in stone garden memories.

Were these eyes just reflecting a hidden
fragment of the past?
