you died in beauty.


today a tragic and ... sad topic.

this is a poem i wrote about a model who died by suicide some years ago. her name was ruslana korshunowa. i've read an article in the stern magazine about her and was inspired to write this very poem.
i hope you like it.

it is featured in the poem anthology 'das herz ist ein organ aus feuer', purchaseable at amazon.de / amazon.com.


... this poem is about a tragic death in the stern, hard-fought microcosm of fashion models.

***

you died in beauty.



where have you gone. and where have you laid yourself down.
here, on the hard cobbled streets?
your body.
but where is your soul - now?
all around you - those police cordons.
behind them the gazers,
they seem to have nothing to do
but to penetrate you with their lifeless eyes.
those, who seem to live.
but there's one thing i know-
you're dead.
but you had a dream,
you said that once.
the white house in the cherry garden,
with roses climbing on the exterior walls of the house.
on the porch: the bench with its silky pillows.
and rest.
rest and peace ...
rest from yourself and this maze out there,
where no one seems to live anymore.
and now you lie there.
still a bit rosy-tinted - your cheeks,
though your body already busted.
your oh so long hair fly in a rush of wind, that wafts around us.
it's cold - he whips your hair through this storm.
did you only charm to sleep?
now here it lies, your hair, scattered, ruffled by loads and loads of fingers,
to make your beauty visible,
to make it tangible
but nobody ever could.
since now, with you lying there, you showed all those people around you
how fragile it was.
and you took it with you.
into death.

no doubt ...
you died in beauty.

opera + pizza hut.


recently we went to the national theatre in mannheim to see 'parsival' by richard wagner. the thumbnails were quite attracting so we decided to buy the tickets. after the ashaming performance of 'turandot' we needed a bit of option to clean our souls. well - there it was.

the house was very full. before we went in to search for our seats we had wine and campari soda - and a small talk with two old ladies who had seen 'parsival' before. we told them that we already had seen 3 productions in the national theatre together, and that  'parsival' should be our first wagner opera. their comment: 'uh, such a first step into wagner is quite risky!' ... we didn't hold to that cheap.


but 4 hours of opera should really be a bit too much, even for me, who had seen many productions before.

well - actually we only stayed for 2 hours and left in the break, because it was really lame. but the scenery was wonderful!


afterwards we went to pizza hut for beer, pizza and ice cream afterwards. <3

the camera of dreams.


this is a text i wrote a few years ago and with which i also participated in a group reading in bruehl with my literature club ('dieräuber77', named after the literal work of the past master goethe).
hope you like it.


the camera of dreams.


'we're from the same material of which our dreams are made of, and this small life is as short as a sleep.'
this was once said by a very smart person. now animated by this very sentence and a good friend of mine, i started to wonder about dreaming in general, life and sleeping.
why, for all the world, do we dream - and why does everybody dream in a different way?
have YOU ever thought about that?
it's not only about the issues ...


food love: my breakfast.





... good morning! <3

food love: bubble tea at mc café.




yesterday i went to the mc café to finally try the newly launched bubble tea. it is now available in whole germany. i've heard very diverse comments about people who already got the chance to try bubble tea. 

there are bubble tea vouchers available now at mcdonalds.de - you can get your bubble tea for 1,99€ each.
click here.

i must say that i've first tried it in a 'genuine' bubble tea store in mannheim, named 'star freshery'. but the tea was quite watery and - there is also the fact that they had no bobas on that very day. so it was kinda disappointing.

then i tried to make bubble tea at home with my boyfriend and eventually it really tasted good!

so i had some former experience which i could cling to while trying the beverage at mc café yesterday.

we had a full house - maybe also because there's another mc donalds voucher campaign at the moment, so i think they did the proper thing to start it.

... and i must say: i'm quite impressed!
i tried the white milk tea + peach flavour + lychee bobas - actually i wanted to try black milk tea but the waitress said that it would taste quite sour so i sticked to the white one.
my boyfriend sticked to the white tea + pomegranate flavour + mango bobas.

mine was not a bit watery, very creamy instead, with a fine fruity peach hint and the lychee bobas were extraordinary tasty! really, i was so delighted about this combination - i need to drink that again!

my boyfriend unfortunately had no luck with his combination of white tea + pomegranate flavour + mango bobas. it was not that delicious. his tasted quite artificial - just think about those cheesy iced teas you get in every supermarket. it tasted just like one of those beverages. well, if you like those, just try it! ... but i would not recommend you in doing so - for the price of 1,99€ it's not worth buying it (and still it was a reduced price!)

my boyfriend also liked mine so we just swapped ours when each of finished our drinks by half.

the bottom line is that ...
i can recommend white milk + peach flavour + lychee bobas to all those bubble tea lovers out there - it's absolutely delicious!

i cannot understand all the haters commenting such harshfully on it.  hum, maybe they just had no such good combination.
it think it's good! just just might need to try some combos until you find your perfect fit ... ;)

vouchers are usable until the 01st of july.
vouchers are availble here.

suspect.


as heavens saints were crying bitterly
and heard in shallow shadows ... now -
do you hear my mourning heart?

do you see my soul trembling
beneath forces of evil wickedness?

do you feel the gaze of thousands -
darkness eyeing me with angry suspicion?

aeon.


Aeon.

I have a longing for eternity
It never seemed that I would be able to find it
Find something which leaves no pain
But joy and happiness
And now that I know you
I seem to know what you’re meaning to me
Everything is embedded in light
And slightly I realize
It could last for eternity

food love: bubble tea at home.


hi dears!

some days ago my beloved and me made our own bubble tea at home with tapioca pearls and taro tea powder.
i got a starter kit from the 'onlineshop of modern tea culture'.

well, it's quite an act of work to make those tapioka pearls and it isn't that cheap - the starter kit costs nearly 30€. but it's such fun when doing it together and the bubble tea tasted really good.



food love: cocktails at home.
