Who is it?

It follows me,
.....................I avoid it.
It scares me,
.....................I hide.
It touches me,
......................I escape.
Who is it?
......................I don't know.
What does it want?
......................I don't know that either.
......................It doesn't rest.
It doesn't seem to get tired.
It is attached to my feet.
Nobody has introduced us.
Nobody can snatch it.
I believe that I am condemned
to have it near me all my life!

Me sigue,
------------ la evito
Me asusta
-------------me escondo
Me alcanza,
--------------la esquivo
¿Quién es?
-------------no lo sé
¿Qué quiere?
-------------Tampoco
No se cansa
-------------no descansa
No me deja,
---------------está
------- --- pegada

Nadie me la ha presentado.
Nadie me la podrá arrebatar.
Creo que estoy condenada
a tenerla junto a mí.

WER?

Er folgt mir,
------------ ich meide ihn
Er schreckt mich
------------- ich verberge mich
Er holt mich ein,
-------------- ich weiche ihm aus
Wer mag es sein?
------------- Ich weiß es nicht
Was will er?
------------- Ebensowenig
Er ermüdet nie
------------- er rastet nicht
Er verlässt mich nicht,
--------------- er bleibt
------- -- -- er haftet
--------- an meinen Füßen.
Keiner hat uns vorgestellt.
Keiner kann ihn mir entreißen.
Ich bin wohl
zu seiner Gesellschaft verdammt.

Caterpillar

There was a caterpillar
with many, many legs.
He wanted to have dinner,
he didn't eat all day.
He invited little children
to go inside his mouth.
He trapped and swallowed them.
The little ones struggled,
They wriggled and they crawled.
Soon they came out smiling.
Oh, what fun they had
going in and
going out.

A Lovers Embrace

....Thousand of tongues gliding over the skin
......Hands reading every peek and valley,
.......lovers embraced stroking the body
.............. and relaxing the soul.
....Waves of white foam forming and breaking.

........... Thank God for a working Jacuzzi!

A SECRET

I look at the stars to find the secret of life.
In the twinkling lights
eternity had writing her mark.
I search among people for the secret of life.
I found worries, sorrows dismay and confusion.
I search in the forest for the secret of life.
I saw that the cycle repeats itself.
Life is born and it dies;
it last only a brief moment span.
A gift every day.
Every dawn a new gift
to enjoy and to share,
not to waste in regrets.

Forever

At the first glance I knew already
that my heart was yours forever.
Your sweet smile was the door to a land
of dreams and hopes I never knew.
I want to walk always with you
and love you each day of my life.

Friendly Enemy

An identified enemy
one should not fear the most.
Preventive measures could be taken.

A true enemy that harms you seriously
is the one that receives you with open arms.
Kisses your cheeks
meanwhile planning to harm and rob you.
