Tossing and turning

Toss­ing and turn­ing, orig­i­nally uploaded by Thorsten Becker. The clock chimed twelve As the mid­night sun Eerily spun A twi­light web Across slate gray night At that hour I approached the gate Wide and great Lead­ing to mind’s gar­den Of flash­ing den­drite Step­ping into, walk­ing through I felt my soul entwine Wrapped in deep dark vine …

A winter’s night in Istanbul

A winter’s night in Istan­bul, orig­i­nally uploaded by Thorsten Becker. Walk­ing over age old cob­ble­stone Past weath­ered walls Inscribed with the rough ink of his­tory Past cher­ished mon­u­ments And hid­den mys­ter­ies All illu­mi­nated By the dif­fused light Of street lights in the mist Winter’s chill is cast away By a cup of hot salep A bag …

Symphony of the night

Sym­phony of the night, orig­i­nally uploaded by Thorsten Becker. A fiery red sun sets in the west, night rises swiftly in the east, a blood red moon her­alds the arrival of age old mys­ter­ies.

There is an understanding between me and the crow

There is an under­stand­ing between me and the crow, orig­i­nally uploaded by Thorsten Becker. There is an under­stand­ing between me and the crow That whichever way I go It will fol­low, caw and show The move­ment of shad­ows to-and-fro As I descend And thus depend On ebony wings well hid­den from the light Black feath­ers …

The colors of your heart

City lights

City lights, orig­i­nally uploaded by Thorsten Becker. Night falls, the city awak­ens from its slum­ber of con­fused lethargy and aim­less rush. The noise set­tles, calms down, if ever so slightly. The watch­ers and onlook­ers take their seats, glasses clink, laugh­ter, con­ver­sa­tions. Then the lights come on. Those city lights. And the actors take to the …

Good night, sweet dreams

Good night, sweet dreams., orig­i­nally uploaded by Thorsten Becker. Good night, sweet dreams. Sleep tight under gen­tle streams Of sooth­ing light and calm­ing air. Breathe easy with no care. No shad­ows will dis­turb your slum­ber, No frights that will encum­ber Your ten­der rest in night’s car­ing arms — A watch­ful light will keep you free …
