Achim Wollscheid Poems

Fall is damned!
Every leaf of every tree sheds
as the balding of a man's head.
The pigments are beautiful,
...

I keep it in my pocket, so to speak,
this uncomprehensible sadness,
or rather sense of weakness and inability.
I don't want to get up,
...

Just escape from this building
That's colliding; its walls, fading black
Walk to somewhere away from this memory
Wipe aside tears that threaten departure
...

In dreams is there ever a decisive escape?
Can one shake and wake?
Does it go on forever beyond the restraints of time
If one does not open the eyes?
...

Why is the world so openly blatant?
To my left the woman is causing pain
To the man to my right whose internally breaking.
If she could see deeper
...

I need strength and it is passed onto me like a baton would be.
When it is in my hands, I run the race with all of my might until my part is finished.
My legs ache as I dash, my eyes are unsteady, the hot sun creates the heat waves that divert me.
If only I had a stronger start; if only, if only, if only goes my thoughts for the extent of the track.
...

You are not aware of another environment
Because of your programming.
How is it possible to discover yourself
When you've been programmed as something else?
...

Something is always in my way to you
And you ask me why don’t I love you.
It is fiction, I never stop trying.
I’m constantly confused “Do we belong? ”
...

What a way to die
Only eighteen, just beginning life
On a road you were driving
I don’t really know the speed
...
