INTRODUCTION Lyric, lyric, lyric... What we think when we hear the word lyric? Originally – from the Greek word, lyra, meaning lyre, lyric poetry, refers to a short song accompanied by a musical instrument, almost always the lyre. And so is lyric, and so are poems, in the broadest sense, nothing more than “Enscripturated singing” with all its forms of expression. For where a man feels when he suffers, loves and laughs, then sings and writes it. Each poem is a small world, a work of art, a possibility of spontaneous expression. A release of emotions. And the poetry lives ... lived through the change of time, breathing the breath of time, in all its shades. Dive into the fascinating world of words, and enjoy my poems... KRISTIAN GOLDMUND AUMANN AUTHOR/JANUARY 2011

I Love You My heart is melting I love you Drops of gold My blood is flowing I love you Drops from fire My idea flies I love you Drops from sun My mind fades I love you Drops from soul My mouth whispers I love you Drops from Rubin My body breathes I love you Drops of light My gentle touch I love you Drops from velvet

Love Moments When the rain came, Branches fell from the tree – The shine of your eyes seemed dull... When the rain came, My heart fell on your lap “Rumor has it...”

12


Like a Bird High in the air... Today it was time, I wanted to see from above, the World; As a young bird without feathers. Springs of happiness Springs of Joy Springs of Life... The light from the sun gave me colored feathers – Too colorful feathers. Then came the night, The darkness of the night – ”Nosedive” Urged me from heaven. Feathers of the sadness, I flew again And then never again.

In the Morning The sun glistens... Song of love breathed the morning breeze – “A Thousand diamonds from blue dreams” Aphrodite’s velvet lips Rising from the sea. “Hand of fat” It smells like soft kissing.

14


Befor the Flowers Fade Invisible, we met once before – In our minds, perhaps. We’re on different shores; The distance seems to affect us anyway, Hours of sadness have passed. In secret, it smells like love – Before the flowers fade, we think, consciously or unconsciously “Lookout” Search for refuge in the everydayness of life.

Sometimes Sometimes I collect your shining stars – Then I write poems in your laughter. Sometimes I collect your tears; But then, I write no more poems... But as I said Only Sometimes.
