[Poem] Timo Schmitz: “Nothing but you” (2013)

Your cheeks are so red, Your skin so hot, But still you fake your feeling. So dark, so motionless, So scary – your eyes, But still you fake your feeling. So bright your smile, So nice to see it, But still you fake your feeling. Written in: May 2013. Adopted from: Schmitz, Timo. For better

[Poem] Timo Schmitz: “Reality” (2013)

The anise grows under the nebo, The trees behind her, a huge crowd, The grass is soft and wet, the background just so loud. A cat is quarreling with a mouse, The wolf is quarreling with the geese, A sudden scream – release. And the cat stops quarelling, And the wolf is quiet too, And

[Poem] Timo Schmitz: “Go away” (2013)

My heart just wants to cry, When I miss you too much, my July. I let you go – I have to admit, My lovely little heart, you have hit, Nine months I dedicated to you. I had a lovely winter, the autumn was so sad. Spring arrived and my interest came back, actually it

[Poem] Timo Schmitz: “Passing by” (2013)

One step, and then another one, Very softly, as if you are not on the run, And moving forward, slowly but sure, Fleeing the past and fleeing the future. In this small space you walk around, The legs so pretty, no man won’t like, And you move forward, start to hike, Nothing seems to be

[Poem] Timo Schmitz: “Back to the beginning” (2013)

You went away without a word, It was truely a sad ending, It showed me how deep people can love, How much they can be depending. I did so much to make it right, You never told me to deny, I wanted to reach the other side. You left me behind, that’s your choice, And

[Poem] Timo Schmitz: “Take me there” (2013)

The wind blows and blows, The river flows and flows, In one direction, there it goes, Somehow far, but still so low. Take me there where you belong, Sing a song of your lovely home, Desperate is the longing for July, A huge price without a loan. Take me there, where your heart wants to

[Poem] Timo Schmitz: “Two pieces” (2013)

Is it a waste of time, To wait for the fruits of July? Will they be burnt down by the sun, Or drowned by the water on the run? Is it my fate to be in love with July? This sweet innocence in heart, And this hopeless feeling as time goes by? Is it really

[Poem] Timo Schmitz: “Letting you go” (2013)

Fear in my mind, I know nothing about you, Since a long time, I’m in love with you, But I never chased after you, never asked who you are, You are my secret inspiration, but our mind is so far. I think it’s not secret anymore, what I think of you, But you are only

[Poem] Timo Schmitz: “July feeling” (2013)

In the morning dark, so silent, Many people walking up and down, As if the world will end today. Water rushing everywhere, black are her eyes, Red is her touch, her body like glass otherwise, And on the soft skin, cold frozen ice. Like dust in the morning dawn, Her wings just want to fly,
