Should
I try
to write an
Elfchen in English? Maybe
No.

Or
we should
not be afraid
to express our beautiful
minds.

Today
I found
The courage to
Tell you what I
Think

Today
You might
Wonder About Me
And you. What’s going
On?

Elfchen
in English
are as cryptic
as they are in
German

these
slippery steps
are worth climbing
but I need your
support

fly
with me
to the sky
let me share your
wings

jealousy
makes no
sense if we
are really just friends,

right?

why
do I
have the feeling
that there is still

more?

writing
english eleven
is funny and
less difficult than I

thought

weird
and confused
maybe the only
way of life worth

living

I
took this
little drop sadness
out of my soul:
.

could
it be
that the minefield
existed only in my
imagination?

our
fertile soil
needs no coaxing
it is awaiting the
harvest

seeds
we sowed
three years ago
have unexpectedly thrived to
beauty

not
enough time
for the harvest -
fruit withering on the
stem?




what
a waste -
three long years
of ignorance and missed
opportunities

Come
Back when
My fruits are
Ripe, she said to
Me

I
Can’t do
That, I have
My own crops to
Harvest

Remember
Me, whenever
You eat these
Fruits, she said and
Smiled

Your
Eyes look
Like the summer
Sky over Berlin. Pastel-
Blue.


When
You look
At me, they
Are like white-glowing
Steel.

@Bilana...

Danke.

Dignify
Your deepest
Fear, so it
Can’t terrify you any
Longer.

-----

Feed
Proper fodder
To your cows
To get deliciously fat
Milk

-----

Don’t
Throw away
Your sacred chain.
Just redefine it’s personal
Meaning.

more
than just
mere fertile soil...
flowers springing up after
bushfire

stop
talking about
things you do
not even know something
about

i
would rather
hurt myself than
to ever make you
cry

landmarks
are few
and far between
don't let me get
lost

You
Said I
Am like a
Black peppercorn. Small yet
Strong.

Now
I feel
Like chaff. Blown
Away by the changing
Wind.

timing
is everything -
making the most
of little time is
more

where
to start??
and yet, the
hardest will be the
end

tomorrow
I will
practise saying good-bye
knowing it's not forever



yet

"absence
makes the
heart grow fonder"
isn't that what they
say?

how
can I
get any fonder
of you than I
am?

so
there is
really no need
for you to go
away

I
Wish to
Walk the road
Less travelled. Are you
joining?

aus 13 mach 11

ein Dreizehnchen, @Bilana?

War wohl schon zu spät...

oops
I forgot
that this is
the corner for Englisch
elfchen

you
can stay
and say nothing
i listen to your
thoughts

...not tonight josephine...




and who said that once to whom?

@schildkröte
Das war aber kein Elfchen...

Elfchen gehen so:

1
2
3
4
1

one
then two
followed by three
then four and finally
one

(11 words altogether, hence the name...)

scrapbook
collecting memories
to remind me
of what can never
be

like
this one
that this was
ever so nice from
you




to regenbogen

why
are we
walking the streets
searching what we already
found ???

what
is it
that restrains me
from everything I ever
wanted

what
makes me
hold before anything
I thought or dreamed
of

am
I two
one who inflicts
and one who suffers
infliction


(they
are my
first elvchen ever
or are they little
elevens?)

if
absence makes
the heart fonder
coming back makes it
melt

pitfalls
of communication?
we are learning
to cross them, building
bridges

through
conscious effort
nothing is easy
but nothing is more
rewarding

all
I want
is to be
a match for your
hopes

my
own hopes
have been exceeded
since the very first
day

every
single minute
spent with you
is worth it all
regardless

*trying out this "upside down elfchen" thing*

every
minute spent with you
gives me millions
of precious
memories

sometimes
I am
very successful in
wasting time instead of
working

sorting
my thoughts
in eleven words
or maybe in thirty-
three

thinking
about decisions
understanding that sometimes
one can rely on
himself

wunderschön

thank you, sin!

sometimes
I would
like to take
photos by blinking my
eyes

keep
them saved
in my heart
while memories are fading
away

I
Will walk
With your shadow
And keep you warm

my sun´s are just reflections of your lights

never
to forget
this gentle landing
the memory of a
smile



letting
you go
before the time
I keep you close
forever
