Despair

The ground will shatter, the heavens will bleed,

in darkness and ruin, despair takes the lead.

No dawn will follow, no sun to arise,

only silence remains beneath empty skies.

Morgentau

Es funkelt früh am Morgen schon wenn ich die Augen aufgemacht befreit mich so des Kummers schnell welchem ich im Traum bedacht.

Ein kleiner Wegbegleiter mir der zu meinem Herzen fand sich kühlend auf mein Haupte legt und freudig rinnt von Hand zu Hand.

Der mir dabei die Sorgen raubt wenn die Welt auch grau erscheint. Ich bin um deine Rückkehr froh mein Morgentau, der du mich einst.

by Weltenasche.

Ich vermisse deinen Namen, dessen weicher, warmer Klang sich seit jeher in Verlangen und Sehnsucht kleidet.

Is there anything other than poetry that fascinates you?

Certainly, there are many other things that fascinate me. Animals, for example, which is why I have lived vegan for over ten years and vegetarian before that. Philosophy should also be mentioned here, which incidentally brought me to veganism. Otherwise sports, mostly training with weights and my own body weight, because it was always the compensation for me, which my emotions could not be. Calligraphy represents another balance, hardly anything relaxes me more sustainably; I also find psychology and behavioral analysis fascinating. Art in almost every kind and form, although drawings and paintings fascinate me the most. But also technology, especially programming and development.

To name just a few at this point.

Since I've already done this on previous accounts on other platforms, I thought about resuming an old ritual of mine. The idea would be to ask a selected group of people questions from the fields of psychology, philosophy, art and creativity, society and ethics or a mixture of these areas.

I can't yet say how regularly questions will be asked, as this depends very much on my own mood and creativity.

In terms of structure, I plan to post the questions on my blog and tag individuals who are interested. Subsequently, you can either generate a distinct post or reblog to respond and express your opinions.

As an illustration, you can refer to the response provided by @readsal to my first question: https://www.tumblr.com/readsal/737080816398696448/muse-playing-the-harp-by-antoine-auguste-ernest

What would such questions look like, for example?

Psychology: If you could change one thing about the way your mind works, what would it be?

Philosophy: Do you believe in free will, or do you think our lives are predetermined?

Art and creativity: If your life were a painting, what colors and symbols would dominate the canvas?

Society and ethics: Do you think morality is subjective, or are there universal moral principles?

If anyone is interested in such questions, please feel free to like this post or let me know by other means. I would then create a list and include the respective people.

You know I always had a feeling you were gay but now with all the calligraphy stuff on your blog I'm even sure. When is the coming out? Not good to live in a closet you know?

Oh well, you got me on that one, buddy.

There are only two small problems with your theory:

Calligraphy says absolutely nothing about a person's sexual orientation.

I feel only attracted to women.

But you'll be the first person I'll tell if that ever changes. It seems to be on your mind, after all.

Your battle

I still think of words

that never left my lips

and touches

not performed by fingertips.

I lose myself

in pain and dread

and wish I'd drowned

in the sea of tears you shed.

You took a battle

that was never yours to fight

and I could do nothing

but hold you tight one last night.

Why so sad all the time?

Take in the joy of every moment, even if it's not ideal. Life is an absurdist fayre-show ride, you never know what's around the next corner...

As I explained in a previous German answer, joy has never been able to offer me the same as sorrow. In a way, it is a barter, a pact, if you will; I give away my joy and find inspiration in sorrow, longing and melancholy.

Welchen Moment in deinem Leben, würdest du als bedeutenden Wendepunkt bezeichnen?

Ich könnte mich an dieser Stelle nicht auf einen festlegen und müsste daher zwei nennen, welche ich durch ihre Tragweite sogar datumsgenau festlegen kann.

Der erste ist der 25.12.2012 und der zweite der 16.04.2016.

Einer zeichnet einen herben Verlust, der andere den Moment, an dem ich das Wagnis einging, einen anderen Menschen mehr zu lieben als mich selbst.

you inspired me to eat two steaks and two burgers extra every day :)

Arteriosclerosis, coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, peripheral arterial disease, arterial hypertension, cancer; just to name a few, because the list goes on and on. But if that's a risk worth taking to you to try to annoy a person on the internet who couldn't care less about you existence and your actions, then by all means go for it.
