tears of time
stone
crying for lost names

(pic: an old gravestone, mounted on the outer walls of a medieval church in northern Germany - the 'black tears' are traces of rust from the iron used to mount the stone)

b/w picture of a 17th century grave stone, beneath the commemorative inscription the coat of arms of the deceased - traces of black rust and soot running across the stone, that is vertically mounted on an outside wall, giving the impression of black tears - spoooky

seems like the local press took note of me...
Tomorrow evening I will be reading two unpublished short stories in Drakenburg, south of Bremen

Lesung, Schauriges zum ersten Advent- morgen 17 Uhr, Ole Schune, Drakenburg. Hoffentlich nicht allzu unterirdisch 😉

by the frozen lake
withered reeds
rustling in chill wind

*

wind howls in
withered fur
poor homeless old cat

(no cats were harmed in the making of this poem)

*

quiet beauty
rustling reeds
lady of the lake

#warmth- antidote to November's creeping cold

Late morning, on a hot Sicilian summer day - we got up early for a hike in the Zingaro Natural Reserve, before the crowds and were rewarded with quiet natural beauty. Found a farm in the middle of paradise.

picture showing a mountainous landscape on the Sicilian coast - the sea quiet and deep blue, heat is building up, dry grass, palm trees surrounding a chalk white building. A sign reads: Amodeo Massimo, Agricoltore

friday is #scapeday! Outside everything drowns in November's breath - barren trees, fields, meadows, gardens, every hint of colour blown away, so I needed a memory: a mild Autumn day by the sea, watching boats, sailing out into the vast, overwhelming blue

a wall
of grey clouds
devours glowing dusk -

weightless
snowflakes
fall

in the
pale tune
of your voice

singing
of the night
you long to come

painted white
a ghostly
light

shining
bright,
bearing promise

of aurorae
in the hoarfrost
of your eyes

dusk
dissolves in
a flurry of snow

merciful sky
unfolds a white shroud
upon mud stained earth

*

brittle beauty
reverberating silence
the voice of snow

Die unscharfe Bruchkante der Nacht entlässt ihre ersten Steinschläge tief hinter meinen Augen.
Schon knackt es in ihrem schweren Gebirge. Gleich bricht sie los, gleich geh ich verschütt.

im siebenten jahr -
wo einst dornendunkel war
rosengleiches licht

sweet sadness unfolds in this 16th century song: transcendent, mystic, drenched in symbolism and spirituality of bygone times - withering petals

will imbibe your tears

stunning sunday silence- the deserted park, where a banished queen planted roses to forget about the tragedy of her life. Just the noise of the distant fountain and a sarcastic crow croaks a story of withering roses and forbidden love

November morning
crow black
is the only sound

wild forests we walk, endless, a waving sea of green, hidden paths between lakes and fens, lichen entangled in our hair, humming lines of forgotten songs that have unbeknownst to our mind slept in the shelter of our souls -

can I know
what we have lost?
burning melodies

a ghostly haze - thick hoarfrost, a blanket, draped across meadows, fields, cold biting my feet as I walk, slowly, my heart touched by this stillness, that comes creeping across the dark green pond in white woods

how strange -
lone blackbird watching me
from a frozen branch

shameless plug:

I don't like to see my face on photos- (nearly as bad as hearing my own voice. I'm a writer, not an actor) But they told me I need to promote more. So, here you go. And yes, it's in German. And nobody will ever make it from BlueSky. But hey, I did promo, right?😁
