Poem 1

My heart has two names 
And a couple places to live 
Four beautiful blue eyes 
And any of them can be seen  

One feeling came first 
Along with the youth  
The other would come later 
Blossom into adulthood 

Winter and summer, 
Holding each other under Christmas lights, 
Sand lighten by the stars in an August night 

One gave me freedom 
The other built my cage 
I wouldn’t be able to leave it 
Not until today 
 
Two continents, inconsolable differences, 
Tradition, toughness, cold hearts 
A different way, a different mood  
Leaves of grass and snowy woods 

Meine Liebe, mein Shatz 
My dear or sweetheart 
I’ll keep you forever 
In this little piece of art
