Goodnight
Limerick for Katrin
For/From Katja (01.01.2004)
My Sweet! I'd have you live so glad
Not knowing grief, or fearfull pain
I'd give relief, when you felt sad
And grant you happiness again.
If only I but know the way
I'd make you joyous every day.
And now you've found your heart's desire!
Your glee is glowing, more and more.
A man who sets your smiles on fire.
With him, you feel your spirit soar.
How great it is! To shine that way;
As light and bright as spring's first day.
My wish is granted, it would seem;
You smile just as I felt you should.
And just as I had dared to dream
Your feel content, complete and good.
and yet,
and yet...
and yet-
I so resent the awfull way
My fate has twisted on this day.

"Still Drunk. 1 am sept. 12th" -for one I once desired.
Good night, and sleep well
your body goes drifting
Your mind goes off sifting
through memories past -
And tales it will tell
Of places you've travelled
And stories unravelled.
The night long they'll last.
And then, the day dawning
with sunbeams so certain
which shine through your curtain
like spears through the air -
Will fall on you, yawning
your eyelids just twitching
your consciousness switching
from rest, to aware.
Think now, while you're reading,
of how the time passes
for both lads and lasses
from April to May.
Our youth is receding
And won't be returning
So fill every yearning
And seize every day.

Limerick for Katrin
A beauty I once loved in May
feels unmoved by the things one might say,
And shrugs off an advance
Won't respond to romance.
She's a will 'o the wisp in a way;
You pursue her with feverish haste
But no matter how fast you have raced
it's foolish to hope
you could catch her, You dope!
She exists only For being Chaste.
