Chapter One
PoemsLiving Wishes
A walk among the stars.
Shared thoughts.
Like the stars.
Dot the sky.
Living wishes glisten with promise.
Tear-filled secrets.
Whispered on fingertips.
Keys to a dream.
Tailspin
We laugh.
Wondering if the next day
will be as great as the next.
And you find that it is.
You can be yourself.
Without holding back.
Say goofy things.
And they look forward to it.
You feel as though you can fly.
Even though you have no wings.
You dance at any time.
Even though there is no music.
Share an umbrella in the rain.
Listening to each others heart beat.
Words Reflected
See the past through the present.
Like a winters frozen brook.
Warmed by the new spring sun.
Trickling through the frost.
Words like life being born to the world.
Living within their own pages.
Forever ours.
Beyond The Stone
Share with the truth.
Not with a lie.
Because games played with the heart.
Can sometimes make it into stone.
Your eyes look at me.
But your mind plots for later.
I want to be me.
Where did I fail?
How do I begin again?
I want to swim in clear waters.
Just to trust and care.
Like real friends do.
The Unseen
During the day you walk.
into the night you dream.
To places before
that you've never seen.
On a voyage to discover
the hidden pieces that are you.
Seeing sometimes a picture of yourself.
A veiled wonder.
Keys to a truth
of who you are and why.
Fate gives each a reason.
Life gives each a light.
Little Girl Eyes
You loved me.
You showed me
who I am is who you raised me to be.
Yesterdays praise.
A mother's wisdom.
A daughter's ways
of pride and devotion
is my strength today.
Our home like your smile
was a castle to me.
A vision that now lives on in thee.
Where everything is warm and right.
The way you cared.
The way you held me tight.
Compass On The Wind
Life is like a brief whisper on the wind.
Rustling through the leaves.
Taking a moment to listen.
May guide you on a path not yet seen.
Letting the wisdom of your heart
be your compass.
Cast Your Heart
I watched you stare into hope.
Your eyes filling with beautiful courage.
A smile waits.
But hides itself.
Unsure if it is safe.
You've cast your heart into the stormy wake.
With but a prayer to keep it company.
Just then his shadow joins yours.
And you begin to wonder.
Will he see its charm
and bring it back to me
or let it slip away with the tide
like so many times before?
Of The Flame
Born of honor.
Raised of faith.
Friends made as paths are crossed.
A handshake begins the way.
Pioneers of the flame.
They have their different sights.
Within each a traveled tale precedes thee
of beliefs set in stone.
No deceptions written in sand.
Silently behind you they stand.
Times framed.
Faces etched.
They are everlasting to me.
Side by Side
Friends come and go
but the ones who stay
steal the show.
Like a river that knows no end.
You've grown to become a very special friend.
So much in common,
as the days pass by,
of memories and stories
told of the now and then.
Of laughter and triumphs.
The uncertainties ahead.
Seeing them through with you.
Like family, again and again.
No End
Farewell.
Hello.
This is what you wanted.
You said don't go.
Fill me into your mold.
Praying that I will fill it up whole.
"I'll figure it out."
"One day I'll know."
You say shaking your head.
Holding it with your hands.
Tears mixed with sweat.
"I trust you."
"But I just don't know."
"I'm here at your request."
"Putting time to the test."
"Is everyday going to be like this?"
"A test with no end?"
Rolling Thunder
The fog hidden fury sleeps today.
As it's quiet roar
plays heaven's music.
A concert for the soul.
Waves of liquid blue.
Caped with white.
Caresses the shore with a gentle might.
As nature paints with the colors of time.
Bruised Tears
An imprisoned heart
is now your gift to thee.
When a comforting hand
was once peace to me.
As another day of reckoning begins
of who I am
instead of who you want me to be.
You greet me with warmth in your eyes.
But an unconscious rage.
Rests in your smile.
I say that I am sorry.
But I don't know why.
As your reality sets in
and you relive your sorrow through me.
14
Illusions
Away on fate.
A feather on the breeze.
A dreamed of day.
Yesterdays wish.
You called to me.
I felt your hand.
But the vision that is you.
Escapes me again.
A half filled heart.
Tears disappear into the dark.
And eclipse of the soul.
The answer lies with you.
Whispered Truth
The words I want to say.
Come to my lips.
But cannot leave.
A whisper buried deep.
So with my eyes.
Is the only way to share.
A promise for each day.
A quiet caring.
Like perfume caressing a wrist.
A rose in place of a kiss.
You have always touched me.
Lady Of The Mist
From where I've been.
To one day I'll see.
The real you.
Only a dream away.
A journey through the air.
To the one heart.
I've waited all my life to meet.
You're out there somewhere.
Among the timeless fold.
The missing part of me.
The beat that stirs my soul.
A Renaissance Face
I know of you.
But I don't know who you are.
You have a renaissance face.
And a deep quiet smile.
You're a glimpse of something rare.
Like a painting in a gallery.
A beauty to the world.
A moment on canvas.
That lives on through you.
Twilight Missed
I saw you and smiled.
But only for a moment.
Fate has shown me that this is not for me.
My feelings are true.
But the vision I see is not.
You hold the hand of another.
And the smile you share is his.
And maybe I've missed out on what could have been.
And for that I apologize.
I care for you.
And I'll always be there for you.
You're a friend of uncommon heart.
A cherished part of my life.
Thank you for being there.
Rare Grace
Beautiful is she.
A sunsets glow dances upon the sea.
A captured heart.
Away with it she goes.
Admired from a distance.
Her eyes can make you swoon.
Like a snow storm in spring.
Rare she is indeed.
For an instant.
A dream has come to life.
Souls of Harmony
The days may pass.
And the music of the moment may change.
But the words shared between us.
Will always be the same.
Souls of harmony.
Bird In The Distance
A bird landed in the distance.
He looks.
Nothing to be found.
Nothing to be seen.
He is in the land of nowhere.
No grass.
No water.
Nothing but him.
He sings.
But the wind carries his voice.
Desolation all about him.
He is like me.
The wings of freedom.
Will carry us home.
From the distance.
He with wings.
Me with steel.
After the war.
We are home, free.
Cherished Blessing
Together we were one.
A mind of two souls.
Sharing in what could have been.
A stroll among the clouds.
Collecting stars.
Cherished blessing of who you are.
She was a breathtaking vision.
Unique and true.
We shared a lifetime within moments.
A quiet harmony.
A song all our own.
And that's when I knew.
You walked away with a part of me.
My heart.
A Beginning
To know your hug.
To see your smile.
All I've heard is your voice on the line.
I want to talk with you.
Listen to your heart.
And know who you are.
We could go for a walk.
Or skate.
Or have dinner on a ship.
Cruising in a sunsets wake.
Get a telescope and visit the stars.
Maybe find one and make it ours.
Angelic Rose
Like a rose that sways with the wind.
A quiet chorus.
Is her strength from within.
A smile upon the earth.
She is one of heavens own.
A masterpiece in bloom.
Each petal.
Small reminders of who she is.
Courage, inspiration, and hope.
A classic to the soul.
She'll always be.
Paper House
I awoke one day in my home.
To find that the world inside.
Was not my own.
What was once made of stone.
Had turned to paper.
A storm had begun.
A silent rain fell.
Dissolving the pieces that made up my reality.
The truth I knew became fiction.
The childrens' eyes looked at me.
Question-filled and full of surprise.
And a hug is my only answer.
Unknown Journey
Hear a voice from far away.
Like reading the pages from a book.
Without looking at the outside cover.
I have read the beginning.
But not the middle.
Nor the end.
I'll leave that for the future.
Destiny's friend.
Midnight Ocean
A pondered road do I sail.
To her castle far away.
Up above my thoughts become waves.
As the midnight ocean keeps me company.
It's then the spectacle begins.
When shooting stars like dolphins.
Reveal themselves for an instant.
Then disappear again.
Wizards of their veil.
And the clouds slowly float by.
The sleeping giants of the sky.
Down below the glow from my lights.
Guide the way.
Through the vastness.
I see the morning approaching.
Cool and clean.
And soon I'll be.
Where heaven and earth meet.
Another Miracle
Once upon a time
I looked into the mirror.
And saw my future face.
Eyes filled with a sparkle.
And a smile that never ends.
A gift to the earth she must be.
Beautiful beyond all imagination.
Unrivaled majesty.
Like the day I was born.
I can't wait to talk to her.
As her words fill my heart with love.
I will hold unto everyone of them.
For they are treasures.
No where else found.
She is everything I hope to be.
And maybe later when I look again into the mirror.
Wisdom's Hand
On the waters of conversations do we sail.
Listening to the winds of time.
Through it's breeze.
Tells the mysteries of the seas.
Breathing in deep.
Freeing your soul into heaven's keep.
Of truths and our fears.
The inner blessings we hold dear.
Here, our words like the waves.
Become memories alive.
Yesterday's promise is a quest to behold.
Another passage awaits.
Hollow Angels
Safely behind our doors.
At home in its blanket of warmth.
Families are together.
Sharing about their day.
Then the news comes on.
And dinner time is once again.
A plate filled with sorrow.
As the stories of fallen children engulf the screen.
Questions to an unknown truth fill the air.
The troubling answers seem to go nowhere.
We watch in dismay.
As to what happened and why.
Where anger becomes a child's secret friend.
Acting out.
Surprising us all.
Have we lost touch with our children?
Is a kiss and a hug not enough?
Or are our tears going to be our only future?
Blind Truce
Fight for you.
Fight for me.
Fight for what you believe in.
Even if the vision seems a little weak.
Try to dissect one's heart.
And call that thoughtful treatment.
You ask for a second chance.
Promised gold and a real romance.
Tell me to share the air with you.
Take a ride with you on a broken roller coaster.
And hope we don't crash.
Keeping A Distance
Hug me with your words.
Not with your arms.
Its breathing without strings.
Being without doubt.
Because a shielded heart.
Is what she knows.
She knows I care.
But she's not sure how to feel.
Unclear of the now.
But the days ahead will be hers.
And her life is an adventure in writing.
Bringing magic to the world.
With her touch.

Terms of sale
General Terms and Conditions and Customer Information / Privacy Policy
I. General Terms and Conditions
§ 1 Basic provisions
(1) The following terms and conditions apply to all contracts that you conclude with us as a provider (AHA-BUCH GmbH) via the Internet platforms AbeBooks and/or ZVAB. Unless otherwise agreed, the inclusion of any of your own terms and conditions used by you will be objected to
(2) A consumer within the meaning of the following regulations is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that can predominantly be attributed neither to their commercial nor their independent professional activity. An entrepreneur is any natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of his independent professional or commercial activity.
§ 2 Conclusion of the contract
(1) The object of the contract is the sale of goods.
(2) If an article is listed by us at AbeBooks or ZVAB, the activation of the offer page at AbeBooks or ZVAB constitutes the binding offer to conclude a contract under the conditions contained in the article page.
(3) The contract is concluded via the online shopping cart system as follows:
The goods intended for purchase are stored in the "shopping cart". Via the corresponding button in the navigation bar you can call up the "shopping cart" and make changes there at any time.
After calling up the "Checkout" page and entering the personal data as well as the payment and shipping conditions, all order data will be displayed again on the order overview page.
Before sending the order, you have the option of checking all information again, changing it (also via the "back" function of the Internet browser) or cancelling the purchase.
By submitting the order via the "Buy now" button, you declare the acceptance of the offer in a legally binding manner, whereby the contract is concluded.
(4) The processing of the order and transmission of all information required in connection with the conclusion of the contract is partly automated by e-mail. You must therefore ensure that the e-mail address you have stored with us is correct, that the receipt of the e-mails is technically ensured and, in particular, that spam filters do not prevent it.
§ 3 Right of retention, retention of title
(1) You can only exercise a right of retention if it concerns claims from the same contractual relationship.
(2) The goods remain our property until full payment of the purchase price.
§ 4 Warranty
(1) The statutory warranty rights exist.
(2) In the case of used goods, the warranty period is one year from delivery of the item, deviating from the statutory regulation. The shortening of the deadline does not apply:
- culpably caused damages attributable to us from injury to life, limb or health and in the case of other damages caused intentionally or through gross negligence;
- insofar as we have fraudulently concealed the defect or have assumed a guarantee for the quality of the item.
(3) As a consumer, you are requested to check the item immediately upon delivery for completeness, obvious defects and transport damage and to inform us and the freight forwarder of any complaints as soon as possible. If you do not comply with this, this will have no effect on your statutory warranty claims.
§ 5 Choice of law, place of performance, place of jurisdiction
(1) German law shall apply. In the case of consumers, this choice of law shall only apply insofar as this does not withdraw the protection afforded by mandatory provisions of the law of the state of the consumer's habitual residence (principle of favourability).
(2) The place of performance for all services arising from the existing business relationships with us as well as the place of jurisdiction is our registered office, insofar as you are not a consumer, but a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law. The same applies if you do not have a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU or if the domicile or habitual residence is not known at the time the action is brought. The right to appeal to the court at another statutory place of jurisdiction remains unaffected by this.
(3) The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall expressly not apply.
