FROHES GEBURSTAG MELITTA UND MAYA


Two very special birthdays to the Ladies that are so very import to me!!


Normally Sagittarian and Virgo do not really get along.


Well, not true at all.


Both have milestone birthdays today. Both share ancient roots to the Baltic sea.


One the oldest woman in my life, the other the youngest.


For Mutti Melitta:


She starts her day

with the coffee with her name

Melitta in her cup


Wihout her on earth

i would not be here at all

September's red leaves


On the Baltic

in an ancient place

gold sand dunes


Blond Viking hair

the Baltic winds blow

the sea scents


Young green eyes

do not recognize the

older face


Across the sea

in an old graveyard

ancestor spirits

still alive and with us today

tall blue irises


FOR MAYA


Her voice

my wake-up call

each moring


In old Hamburg

from her open window

mist from the river


In her closet today

another pair of designer shoes

from her Prince


Bottle of champagne

another taste of

the old widow Clicquot

to start a birthday morning

in my Irish glass
