about me:
(copied from the "Puzzles pieces" commentbox 09.01.09 )
"hey academy-mates:)
my musical puzzle.
I grew up as the youngest of four sisters.
My father played cello, my mother played piano. I was mostly surrounded by classical music to begin with.
I was always finding animals to bring into the house and I was always playing in the garden.
When I was about 8 we rented a room to a man from Jamaica who taught me about slavery and introduced me to the album"Survival". That was the first record I wished for my Bday.
Later I went to some piano-lessons but I always ended up learning by ear as I couldn't read the notes easily.
My mother had a Billie Holiday record that became the inspiration to my joy of singing.
There is something soothing & healing in her tones.
My older sisters where listening to Beatles, Crusaders, David Bowie, Randy Crawford, and many more.
At my best friend place we heard her older brothers music like Frank Zappa, Thin Lizzy.
In the beginning of my twenties I listened to Jeff Buckley "Grace", Pearljam, Soundgarden. Then I was
asked to be the leadsinger in a Funk/Soul band and therefore I concentrated mostly on listening to that style of music for a period.
A couple of years ago I felt in love with turkish music too :)
I believe that my musicalpuzzle is a mix of it all !
not to forget one of the most important memories....
I used to love singing this song with my mother: "Donna, Donna"
to be continued ... "

You are you
like I am me
We are us
be what it is
is what it should be
You and me
close together
individually free
You in me
Me in you
Never faked
always true
single together
together single
never, forever
2 became 1
even 1 is still 2
all so confusing when I try to explain
I love you!

Nature
Nature’s beauty
takes a human breath
to give universal air.
To let you breath God’s inspiration
to create your best creation
And its passion
comes from the bottom of a heart
and just if you are able to understand
the love that creates this passion
you are able to understand the love
God speaks with
Because nature will never think about
how it can get something
but how it can give everything
All it ever wants
is to create life
that can find life
to give life
And every moment of loud fears
will quietly disappear
when nature proudly holds you
with all its courage
to show you with its strength
that there is nothing to fear
And never
you will see it looking for perfection
because the real truth nature is made of
is a perfection itself
that finds its perfection in you
in every moment
you start looking
into the beautiful eyes of God
they called “Nature” And when you finally start recognizing
all the beauty it shines with
you finally start seeing
God’s greatest creation
"Nature"

Loud Night
How loud a night can be
when loneliness
has recognized
and starts joining me.
And all I wish
is that the shadow I see
would be someone else
than just me.
The night appears darker
when you can't see the moon
and tears start hoping
that the bright moonlight
will reach you soon.
And every song
in this night
that has played its melody
can't be shared
because no one
but you is there
who cared.
How loud a night can be
when it is just loneliness
within yourself you see.

I haven't posted in forever but i wanted to share what I wrote today...
A merciless hold captivating the very core it kills,
Strangling on the hope of new love.
A eye sight’s wrapped in shameless touch and disappointment.
Every key stroke further dreamlike and damaging,
No matter the truth told the perceived image altered.
Facades of grander and pageantry paraded as reality,
Skewing the sober daily life of unreturned attention.
Rehearsals o f rejection never buffering the heart pains.
Awkward silences scream of untold communication break downs.
Hollowness taking over no longer fulfilled by tainted desire.
Unsure of proceeding with a damaged connection,
The being is left with only unspeakable actions played out like a movie.
Hoping the scenes are forever etched in memory.
A doubtful payoff never a deterrent for foolish infatuation.

Weight
I thought I was protecting you,
Shielding you from the world
Not imagining for a second
That my actions actually caused you harm
I watched you broken
like a 'Ming' vase
Shattered to shards
Taking precious care of
each painted fragment
Trying to figure it all out
Like puzzle pieces
I now know I can not fix you
But I stay to tend the wounds
That are left behind when life strikes
Wishing I gave you better defenses
Preparing you better for the fight
I think I was saving myself
Through my love for you
Though I was too arrogant to see
But as it stands
I can't tell if I've made you stronger
Or just allowed myself to be weak
Either way,
I loved you with intention
And I suppose
As I look back on things
I should have allowed you
to sip from the cup of my bitterness
Instead of sweetening it all time
If for nothing else
to make you appreciate kindness
and understand true responsibility
I tried to take the weight of life
off your shoulders
Believing it would help you thrive
Instead you got cozy
in the comfort of my love
Leaving me empty because
You never learned how to plant seeds
Or tend love's garden
You only learned to enjoy the fruits of the harvest
And you question why my fields lay barren
