What do you know? What do you know?It is difficult to say.I feel happiness in my hand, happiness in itself,I have luck, the great luck, in my fingers. Oh wonderful luck!I’m counted among those who believe in their own star:to […]

We are all on a homeless rambling,one sole group of siblings.Naked we walk clad in shreds with our bundles,but what do the lords own compared to us?Through the air treasures stream to meet uswhich cannot be measured by the weight […]

I am an eagle.It is my confession.Not poet,never anything else.Everything else I despise.To me there is nothing but circling in the flight of an eagle.What happens in the flight of an eagle?Always the same, the eternal.In the sky a lightning […]

I am a very mature person,but nobody knows me.My friends are mistaken about me.I am not tame.I have measured the tameness in my eagle’s talons and know it well.Oh eagle, what sweetness in the flight of your wings.Shall you be silent […]

I am blissful.Bold morning sun, shine into my face, touch my brow.No, you already hear my proud answer.The arrogance of my heart increases with every orbit of the sun.It is as if I held the sphere of the sun in my […]

The red sun riseswithout thoughtsand is the same to everybody.We enjoy the sun like children.There comes a day when our dust shall crumble,it doesn’t matter when.Now, the sun shines into the inner-most corner of our heartsand fills everything with thoughtlessness,strong […]

I.How can one chest contain all this ecstasy?– it is the only question in my philosophy.And my only answer: because, because I know.What do I know?That I shall live in awe of the sunand not die and not win,a sun which cannot stand […]

I.I stand so bold, excited and happy.Shall the snowballs of fate cover me up?May the snow run in my brown hair,may the snow cool my loving neck.I lift my head. I have my secret, What is it that controls me?I […]

What does my mortal heart want? My mortal heart remains silent. My mortal heart wants nothing.Here lies all the Earth. You turn away in convulsions.A wand has touched this Earth, and it turned to dust.And where I sit on ruinsI […]

In order not to die I must be the will to power.To avoid the fight of the atoms in dissolution.I am a chemical mass. I know it,I don’t believe in deceit and soul,the game of games is so foreign to […]

It is dangerous to wish when you’re the mighty,therefore my wishes stand still.– – – – – – – –beware, the past dreams,beware, we hold the closed bowl of tomorrow in the hand,beware, the purest of everything pure,beware, blissfulness which […]

Let me outstretch my arm, oh Life.Oh you my heart’s vastness. I waitto hear my voice.I will speak, my words shall fall like burning bonfires among the mosses.– – – – – – – –There is no hand that touches the […]

People, people,like the rainfalls from HeavenI descend to the Earth. My blessed eyes have seen the stars,I have caught lightnings in my right hand,the power, the power streams over my lies. Fate puts me at watch at sunset.Hailed be the vastness around […]

My body, you loveliest of all which is lovely,wherefrom do you know that you have the power?This arm is exactly what the century needs.The lightning sits in my head and flames up one day,and people will see the blue glow […]

I know, I know that I shall win.Whatever one calls me, whatever awaits me I am the star of the future.I have awoken on an ancient-old throne,wondrous hands lay out silk veils beneath me.The mystery runs in my veins.Mystery, I […]

There are so few among the sands of the ocean who understand it.Lonely have I come, lonely shall I leave.My free heart knows no brother.Christian spectres sit in all hearts and stretch out the hands of poverty.The sweetness streaming towards […]

My body is a mystery.As long as the fragile livesyou shall feel its power.I shall save the world.Therefore Eros’ blood runs in my lipsand Eros’ gold in my tired locks.I need only to open my eyes.tired and depressed: the Earth […]

You lightning who hides in the clouds,blue lightning which I see,when do you break out?Lightning, you blessed one,thunder-filled, fertilizing, cleansing,I wait exhausted for you.My body lies like a scrapin order to once, grabbed by electric hands,firmer than all the ore […]

Eros transforms the world.The sail in his hand is full of miracles,Eros doesn’t see small human fights,but with burning eyes he seessun and moon complete their orbits.They are so near to his pregnant soul,what does his wild mind dream?The stars […]

I live red. I live my blood.I have not denied Eros.My red lips burn on cold sacrificial stones.I know you, Eros –you are not man or woman,you are the forcethat crouches in the templeand suddenly stands up, wilder than the […]
