Inspired by Agnes Cecile “Scentless Flowers”

Inanna Ihwa – The Artist
Paint your life
With valiant strokes of rainbow hues.
Paint the light
That carries your core.
You’re ready to choose
Whatever you choose to yearn for.

Create who you’ll be
With a luminous spark. The fire it stokes,
Will be warm and free
And bound to thrive
In the light it evokes,
No matter how boldly you strive.

Inanna Ihwa - Dein Lächeln

Jetzt liegen wir hier geborgen,
In warmem weichem Pulversand,
Machen Schneeengel im August,
An einem heißen Sommermorgen,
An einem weißen Palmenstrand,
Erschöpft, doch voll Lebenslust.

So lange sind wir schon gerannt,
Während die Jahre endlos rasten.
Jetzt scheint die Zeit fast stillzusteh’n,
Und jede Angst ist ganz verbannt.
Jetzt können wir nun endlich rasten
Und ich kann nur Dein Lächeln sehn.

i did it for the bit. columbo my beloved

A moodboard featuring Peter Falk as Columbo. Multiple images show him in his light raincoat and his dishevelled apparel, and a closeup on Falk and his glass eye. There is an image of three chamomile flowers in front of a blue sky, Columbo enjoying a vacation in a linen shirt on the beach, a very warm sky colored with golds and ambers, a busy Los Angeles highway, and art of a basset hound. Shittily edited in are quotes involving ' just one more thing,', and 'my ears pop in an elevator... as a matter of fact, i dont even like being this tall.' short king, beloved.

Inanna Ihwa – Shelter

You’re not loud, you’re not demanding,
You don’t bend things to your will.
Not imposing or commanding,
You are humble, meek and still.

There’s an air of kind politeness
In the things you say and do,
And your deference hides brightness
From the ones that challenge you.

Your integrity is peerless
And you will not let things slide.
You are caring, bold and fearless,
With strong values as your guide.

You’re a shelter in this torrent
Of abusive arrogance,
Both a beacon and a current
Set to make a difference.

That reminds me of a news coverage. Some guy was looking for his car in shoulder-high waters and the newscaster said: "What is he going to do when he finds it?"

I kind of want to put that at the doors of the Bundestag in Germany. All the decades of public shame and yet most of our politicians have learned nothing and are supporting the third genocide in German history.

Inanna Ihwa - Rojava

Civakek bi pêşengiya jinên bêrawestan.

Civakek li ser bingeha wekheviyê.

Cihê ku di bin êrîşa hêzên bingehîn ên paşverû de ye û hêzên pêşeroja dîstopîk.

Cihê xwedîtiya hevpar û xebata hevpar.

Çira hêviyê ji bo kesên tirsonek.

Cihê ku ji hêla mirovên xwedî çavkaniyan ve nayê parastin, lê ji aliyê jinên bi hesret ve tê parastin.

Civakek bi ruhê utopîk.

Inanna Ihwa - Nachttraum

Gesogen, gezogen,
Von unsichtbarer Hand
Entführt und gehalten
In verlassenem Land.
Vergessen. Verblassen
Von täglichem Licht.
Der Nacht schwarze Schwingen
Vergessen mich nicht.

Und einst nimmt gefangen
Das Meine und Jetzt.
Die Wirklichkeit fliehet
Vom Traume benetzt.
So endlos scheint alles
Vom Geiste geformt,
So allgegenwärtig,
Von Wahrheit gespornt.

Das Jetzt heißt nun Immer,
Ist ewiglich mein,
Und alles so fühlbar,
All‘ Leben und Sein.
Auf ewig verschmolzen,
In diesem Moment,
Mit jedem verbunden,
Den dies Leben kennt.

We need to tax billionaires out of existence. Abolish Citizens United and Electoral College, so it's one person one vote (with paper ballots).

Inanna Ihwa – Hungry Ghosts

A steady stream of musts and oughts,
Of worries and fears that paralyze thoughts
And hopeful goals with sharp barbed wires.
Whose heart has still dreams and passionate fires?

Progress dismantled by hierarchy’s rule.
The pace gets faster, gets cold and cruel.
Idleness over there, here just exhaustion,
Flak and demands by the kings of destruction.

Live up to the standards! You need to prove yourself!
But if you’re rich you’ll assuredly improve yourself.
Luxury’s seen as a skillset these days,
Money means genius, expertise … praise.

If you are smart, you just outsource your merit.
No one cares, if you exploit or inherit.
So you say, we all should do just the same,
Use others’ work and then brag without shame?

Revel in freedoms, expect to be served,
Feeling entitled to what’s not deserved?
Condescend smugly to those, who work hard
And keep all things running, say “No, you are barred”?

Inanna Ihwa - Labyrinth
Ohne Gesicht und ohne Namen,
Hältst Du den Schlüssel, und den Rahmen,
Für dies Gebilde, diese Welt,
Die ohne Dich zu Staub zerfällt.
Wirst Du uns töten, oder retten,
Bist Du die Axt oder die Ketten?
Wirst Du verschlingen, bis nichts übrig ist?
Und jeder Geist sich selbst vergisst?
Sind wir schon tot oder am Leben?
Sind wir Dein Traum und tiefes Streben
Oder bist Du ein schwarzes Loch?
Der Ausweg aus des Lebens Joch?
Dies Labyrinth will uns verdauen
Und mit uns neue Wände bauen.
Nur Du kannst lenken, was passiert,
Was wachsen, was vergehen wird.

I hear it Sometimes,
On the bridge between living and dreams,
A heart that beats jointly with mine.
A yearning that crosses the line
And pulls on reality’s seams,
I feel it sometimes.

It’s calling for me,
At night when I drift from the world.
A voice that speaks to my core,
A force that lets my mind soar,
That draws me into a whirled
And shimmering sea,

… Like a melody. Like a home, like a plea.
Like a sunbeam in the sky.

Like a hand that gently touches my face,
Like a soul full of warmth, without strife,
Like an essence that carries my life,
In a bond that fills us with grace,
But we don’t know how or why.

I put my poetry into collections of 40 poems each and made covers for the collections. What do you say, do the front covers look enticing to you?

Completely with you. I'm usually initially really happy to post something and then I see how a haiku about a p*ssing dog gets 100 likes and a traumatic piece of my soul or some topic I feel really inspired by gets 10 and then I need a strong coffee to not be depressed about it... But scared, never.
