Lost

... ah, well ...

Lost


Lost between two lovers
is
like
sleeping on a bed with no covers
Achilles mortally wound-able in a hundred places
Theseus forever running from Minotaur through endless mazes
Young Siegfried bathing in vain in the blood of slain dragon´s
Isis frantically collecting the countless pieces of Osiris to add on ...

Lost between two lovers
is
like
reading a book without title, plot or covers
defining the shapes on fading double-exposures
clutching ropes of daisy chains to climb cliffs of emotions
walking endless roads paved with the quicksand of shifting realities ...

Lost between two lovers
is like
deep-sea diving in shark-infested waters without harpoon or oxygen
like tumbling into a bottomless abyss with ought to cling to ...

Lost between two lovers
you
are
like a ship with torn top sails and rudders
bouncing and bobbing on high seas in bad weather
with a mutinous crew, men overboard and drunken skipper ...

Lost between two lovers
you
are
truly
LOST.

No place to hide.
no place to run.
I stand
transfixed
a deer caught in the headlights of a car
facing the fatal, but freeing blow ....

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo

Hmm.. hello Silvia, how have you been.. lange her wieder...
lost between two lovers.. is such even morally difficult question,
and I ask myself if I were this, if I this is my own weakness when
i try to outsmart my own higher instance? Nevertheless, this hopefully
never will happy to me.. you write about such a dark topic, and this
optics with black and lilac fonts... works perfectly.
the poem itself: "Achilles mortally wound-able in a hundred places" --- I loved this line..
How well it is describing the moment of being in two pieces...
Theseus forever running from Minotaur through endless mazes
Young Siegfried bathing in vain in the blood of slain dragon�s
Isis frantically collecting the countless pieces of Osiris to add on -----here
we have all.........the underworld and the first part of Nibelungenlied.....
deep-sea diving in shark-infested waters without harpoon or oxygen
like tumbling into a bottomless abyss with ought to cling to ... -----------then I liked
this part: for......this really is facing this dilemma, the expression is
haunting.
Great work, my dear. Totally loved it. Fantastic moral message.
Ich hoffe, du schreibst hier mal wieder... alle sind sie gegangen, die
wir kannten, lauter neue Avatargesichter, ha ha.
ciao, meine liebe Silvia.
