Float into me

Mar 30 2010 Published by Stefan Zisting under in english

Float into me
like i float into you
i am the river
the ocean is you

please stay awake
while i fall asleep
catch me in dreams
my drip­ping honey

im not afraid
if you´re not afraid
cause im not afraid
if you´re not afraid

Words be humble

Apr 28 2009 Published by Stefan Zisting under in english

words be hum­ble,
words be quick,
words be waving wal­king sticks,

floa­ting fea­thers on my skin,
beware of wea­t­hers made of sin,

gather round you crazy fools,
haun­ted by a thousand ghouls,

all of you will soon be quen­ched,
no more shall be hat­red drenched,

oh good god, stay by our side,
che­rish our fra­gile eggs­hell pride.

Our work it is done

Jan 13 2009 Published by Stefan Zisting under in english

And for now we have won, our work it is done,
we will have to be nowhere tonight,
so lets soak up the sun,
and prance towards one of those haun­ting beau­ti­ful trees,
can´t you see?
love to be!
oh please hold me close and lis­ten to me

And my pil­low is warm, just from sleeping till dawn
there is not­hing that we shouldn´t be
so lets jump in the clouds,
and lets whi­sper aloud
“oh god, please let us be free!“
will you be?
come and see!
oh please open your eyes and merge into thee

Our work it is done

I´m going to where no mornings are

Aug 13 2008 Published by Stefan Zisting under in english

I´m going to where no mornings are
I´m fee­ling the cold wind blow
through the trees
through the trees
peace of mind at least
because no one can hurt me here

From a roof

Apr 02 2008 Published by Stefan Zisting under in english

From a roof i call you names
beat your heart into some shapes
put your fin­ger on my lips
along your bloody cur­tain drips
this came outs­ide a woo­den cave
neit­her taima­ble nor slave
a beast, a beast, a foolish feast
apart from what i´ve seen at least
be gone, be very gone, upset
the people call this beast to rest

Rocket sci­ence is brea­king my heart

Feb 20 2008 Published by Stefan Zisting under in english

Rocket sci­ence is brea­king my heart
drif­ting in space will tear us apart

So much things undone down here
Please don´t make us disappear

From mother earth to dar­ken stars
Ground con­trol to deadly mars

Wit­hout a home we´ll lose our love
coun­ting all the stars above

Woods­ka­ter

Feb 05 2008 Published by Stefan Zisting under in english

Morning sun, come bright my eyes
behind my eye-lids, turning tides
soak my skin with war­ming light
paint my shadows left and right

Ever­y­thing breaks but my bones
ever­y­thing makes me feel alone
all the people turn to cou­ples
rise to love inside their shuttles

Before i start to trou­ble me
my regards to Mrs. C.
my vel­vet tree in sun­ken worlds
the shell is bro­ken cause of girls

Dance into my life
i´d love to see
your swin­ging candy

Some­thing sof­ter
some­thing good
ska­ting deep
inside a wood

Das wirst Du glauben

Jan 09 2008 Published by Stefan Zisting under auf deutsch,in english

I, upper rain­bow
(in heights i rise)
me and grea­ter beings
my fri­end in bei­jing
he makes people sing
every dark hour i swing
lines writ­ten lines ago
because i´m a secret dan­cer
my bones are shaking
naked i´m drea­ming
the girl is true
i rest on her morning
i pre­fer brea­t­hing for blee­ding
but there won´t be any life
wit­hout wounds
hurt your­self before you don´t hurt your­self
in fact, im mad — but never­mind
the rest of them are far behind
out of the shade, out of shape
never­mind, hands up for love
be down with people
jump in liquids — at least — try
this is how it should be done

A Sau­sa­ge­ful of Secrets

Dec 05 2007 Published by Stefan Zisting under in english

Fly­ing sau­cers in the sky
gently moving, pass on by
hove­r­ing above our heads
reach your hands to where they rest

Make a jour­ney, visit space
bring some star­light to your face
we are drif­ting, taking time
mind the sau­cers, mind the sign

Every uni­verse is new
all the wat­chers see­king truth
all we ever are is dust
blo­wing through the black a must

Tra­vel­ling by speed of light
expe­ri­en­ces at a sight
until the signal has lost us
they take us home, the fly­ing saucers…

Final whi­sper

Oct 15 2007 Published by Stefan Zisting under in english

Like the wind i carry you on
a sight to behold
a hard thing to do
is lea­ving
lea­ving you

In the middle of a cloud
i caught your sight
i’m so happy
having tas­ted
your honey

more than this…

Cher­ry­tale

Aug 23 2007 Published by Stefan Zisting under in english

This is the story of a jour­ney, win­ged and armed to go beyond.
With fruity aura and cho­co­late trees.

Secret won­ders, don´t ask why
Of course i do and now sleep tight
Meet some people in your yard
Tell them how you´re torn apart
Tell them how you yearn at night
Tell them of what you caught sight

Let´s meet at the cho­co­late trees
We´ll lin­ger there so des­pe­ra­tely
Deep inside i feel alright
But i´ll never reco­gnize
Your eyelas­hes dren­ched in gold
Your cherry lips to behold

Alaska

Mar 06 2007 Published by Stefan Zisting under in english

Alaska went wal­king, down to the sea,
her hair waving gently, for all to see.

It´s a sad and beau­ti­ful world”, she said,
“It can make you cry in the blink of an eye.”

I hold her cold hand and tou­ched her white cot­ton,
ever­y­thing i mis­sed about her wasn´t forgotten.

There might be a way, through the woods towards north,
but there won´t be a tale wit­hout marks of scorch.”

Exch­an­ging States

Jan 15 2007 Published by Stefan Zisting under in english

my body trem­bles upon this
oceans sur­face
thres­hold of mind
waves reveal
what lies inside

orga­nic effu­si­ons
floo­ding bulk
com­bi­nes with us
swea­t­ing walls
and ceilings

tre­men­dous life­forms
hove­r­ing bene­ath us
ready to be
disas­sem­bled
through our hands

we absorb nature
but fail wit­hin
how can we
call this beast to rest
call this beast to rest

Denial in first place, second my will

Oct 23 2006 Published by Stefan Zisting under in english

the earth is wrap­ped around me
in a king­dom of ghosts
and the sky the sky the sky
the sky is shivering

hold breath and jump around
like a blind fool in dis­guise
and feel feel feel feel
feel the rain

lis­ten to the sur­face
as it makes a cer­tain sound
and it cracks cracks cracks
cracks up for you

melt into my vel­vet
and push against the wall
like i wish wish wish wish
wish to fall

crawl under my thumb
for years since i become
a beast beast beast beast
beast of joy

ever­y­thing is fading
so reach into the void
as it slips slips slips
slips out of hand

Dora­lice descends

Aug 17 2006 Published by Stefan Zisting under in english

don´t chase my uni­verse
cause later it´ll snow
in the first hour
like an echo

carry your love to the prince
and ask him for life
like your ent­ire pain
he can see through your eyes

melt with clouds
taste the white
descent into memo­ries
such a great height

who wants some of my burst
thrust for your mind
look around just to see
who´s alre­ady behind

Outs­ide a whisper

Aug 11 2006 Published by Stefan Zisting under in english

outs­ide a whi­sper
inside my mind
maybe i miss her
here i can find

maybe an ans­wer
to the ques­tion of who
ever­y­thing out here reminds me on you

nearly ama­zing
bro­ken in pie­ces
keep me awake
and hope for all reasons

my arms are an island
and you are the ocean
i love to feel your waves
they keep me in motion

Skó­ga­foss Diary

Aug 07 2006 Published by Stefan Zisting under in english

you´re the story
i haven´t told yet

unhe­ard melody
yet to be com­po­sed
but you are there
some­where
fli­cke­ring
tas­ting
reaching

outs­ide my shell

you´re the forest
in which i search for
foot­prints, hints and traces

unchain me from this world
paste your­self
around me
solve my puzzle

i can sense it
throb­bing
the way from me to you
like a vein
fil­led with our blood
