No cure When you have that special feeling Everything appears appealing When you have this happiness There is less distress For this special feeling Doctors know no healing No pill works, not even charms Only one cure works: be in your lovers arms

Winged love Of all the things, don't throw away your wings! Keep them on your back, keep them this way, you can fly between clouds, fly away. Of all the things, you may need your wings. You can fly at night, flying is desire, you can fly at night, fly even higher! Love with wings is desire wings that I admire!

Signs of affection #1 A tattooed heart, a body covered in art A tattooed name, a body shows its fame A tattooed heart and a name above, a body displays its love

Signs of affection #2 You don’t need medication or distraction For the feeling of sedation and affection All you need is butterflies and sparks All you need is laughter and kissing marks You don’t need sadness or grey clouds For the feeling of spring and lively shouts All you need is smiling wide And some love at your side

Signs of signs A blush, a wink Not able to think A smirk, a wave Feeling save A touch, a compliment Together time is spent An approach, a holding hand Signs we all understand If you have encountered some of this You are in luck, nothing is amiss.

The travelling knight song ( yes, you actually can sing it ) Oh you lovely Lady, in your castle you remain Oh you lovely Lady, on the battlefield I lie slain You pretty sight, let me in your room this night You pretty sight, let me be your loving knight The road leads to the battlefield where we find our end The road leads us away to whatever we defend Oh you lovely Lady be mine for today Oh you lovely Lady hear what I have to say Give me something I can take away Give me something I can remember Oh you lovely Lady, I must go, the trumpet signal marks my destiny On the battlefield, on the road, I will remember you until eternity.

Der Rittersmann und sein Geleit Auf dem Weg so mühsam und weit Er träumt von der Hofdame, ihr Antlitz so wunderbar Er träumt von letzter Nacht und wie schön es war Er trägt ihr Wappen und eine Rose so rot Er trägt sie in seinem Herz bis in den Tod.

And it was meant to be Things happen for a reason No matter in which season It is how it is supposed to be When we kiss, when we embrace, you and me No matter what you do Things are great between us two It is how it should be When we laugh, when we fight, you and me No matter what you do Love is strong between us two Two hearts as different as they could be Love each other with passion and intensity It is how it is supposed to be When we kiss, when we part, you and me We are together that is what matters Love happens for a reason

Sie sahen einander und fanden sich, wer hätte das gedacht Sie sind wie für einander gemacht Sie küssten sich mit Zärtlichkeit, wer hätte das geahnt So ist das wenn die Liebe ihre Bahnen bahnt Sie sahen einander und verliebten sich

Your brain on love Believe it or not Your brain on love is hot High and hyper active Crazy and flipping fast Believe it or not Your brain on love is a chaotic spot High and filled with desire Crazy and never calm Believe it or not Your brain on love will never rot Flying and longing for more Awake and in love

Das Gedanken sammeln ist erschwert Wenn man ein Mädel begehrt Es mangelt an stringentem Denken Wenn man‘s Herz möcht verschenken Das klare Ordnen hinter der Stirn Geht nicht mit Liebe im Gehirn Das Gedanken sammeln ist erschwert Wenn man sich nach ihr verzehrt

For the lonely out there Don’t be sad if you are alone, not in love, not a pair Don’t be sad, life is good and fair There is always someone who loves you, who has you in your heart There is always love for everybody, everybody finds the missing part Lonely you may be but not forever you will see Just remember, one lonely person plus another equals two or three Thank me later when you found your love Until then just remember the lines above Be patient and look out for it Don’t be sad In the world of math and science are some rules, they go something like this: Lonely ≠ not loved Lonely + lonely = love cos + cos

1 = 2 cos

2+

And if you solve for love you find out: love is everywhere ( I just made that up but the solution is true nonetheless )

Einsamkeit ist keine Schande denn die Liebe gibt’s im ganzen Lande Sei nicht traurig und denk daran. Alleine sein ist nicht schlimm oder schlimmer denn die Liebe gibt’s für immer Sei nicht traurig

Yet another medievil love song ( I encourage you to sing it ) Around the warming fire they sit Hunger gathered around the warming pit Around the only flame they cower Sadness and defeat drag them lower The knights without hope await their end Around the dancing flames they stand All hope is lost, to life they cling Until one of them begins to sing His voice at first faint and silent Until others join the chorus their voices vibrant „Oh Maiden of the North Your love drives us forth Your beauty and charm Brings hope and keeps us warm!“ „Oh Maiden of the South We remember your kisses and mouth Your beauty and loveliness Prevents evil and angriness.“ „Oh you lovely Maiden, you woman of our dreams Lead us to victory and honey filled streams.“ „You keep us awake at night Prepare us for our fight You make us feel alive You are a knights favourite wife.“ Around the warming fire they stand, swords and shields rattle Now filled with pride and hope they march towards battle You can still hear them sing on the field Knights proudly singing love songs never yield

Marc the mandarin duck On a lake in the park swam a duck called Marc. He was a fancy mandarin duck who was famous for his luck. Eveywhere he floated he found something to eat and he was so colourful and sweet. People came out of town to see him float some even swam out with a boat. And one day he met another mandarin duck she was so nice he couldn't believe his luck. So they stayed together from that day on and people told their tale long after they were gone.

A poet’s lament 2 Her words are like a soothing song spoken, unspoken, short or long. Her laugh like a fountain of life her mind as sharp as a knife. Smart and interested in art, hazel eyes and a kind heart. A heart so kind, which is rare to find A heart so energetic, which is so aesthetic Her letters are funny and long her words are like a well sung song. Her words are well chosen and polite Her letters are witty and bright A heart so pure, a gem, a cure. Her mind full of wisdom and fun Oh my, princess what have you done, done with my heart and mind!? They say love makes blind. Who is the poet talking about? Which Princess has the greatest entourage? Should I say it loud? Should the poet dream of a massage? No, these are not the proper thoughts for a Lady of style, let the poem dream of it though for a while. A poet is only a human being and upon seeing a princess who is smart he totally lost it in his art. Her words make you smile, The poet hopes it lasts a while. Should I say it loud? Who is he talking about? It is the princess of academia. A name is not a criteria, but it certainly causes euphoria and dreams of her insomnia. 27

Herzliches Herbstlaub Es war für Dich gedacht. Es hat mich angelacht. Da lag es still und doch sah man’s im Winde schweben, vom kalten Herbstboden wollt ich’s heben. Es war für Dich gedacht. Ich hat es mitgebracht. Da hielt ich’s fest und doch sah man’s aus meinen Händen ragen, vom starken Herbstwind erfasst wurd’s davon getragen. Es war für Dich gedacht. Ich hat es genau bedacht. Da flog es nun und doch gehört’s zu Dir, vom kühlen Wirbel gestoßen war’s nicht mehr hier. Es ist für Dich gedacht. Ein Altes liegt hier zu Deinen Füßen. Ein Neues halt ich um Dich zu grüßen. Vom Herbststrom angeweht, bin ich der, der vor Dir steht. Mit einem rotbraunen Blatt in der Hand, auf Deine Reaktion wartend, ganz gespannt. Da spreche ich nun die lang studierten Worte, ein Antrag von besonderer Sorte. Mit dem ausgewählten Blatt in der Hand, auf Deine Antwort wartend, ganz gespannt. Der kahle Herbst sieht dort im Park ein Pärchen stehen, er lässt vertraut braune Blätter um dieses wehen. Der kühle Herbst sieht zwei Personen getrennte Wege gehen, er lässt verzweifelt Äste laut rauschen und flehen. Es war für Dich gedacht. Es hat mir kein Glück gebracht. Da liegt es nun zwischen den Anderen ganz unscheinbar, da liegt das rotbraune Blatt was ein Geschenk für Dich war. Die Worte gesprochen, die Antwort verweht, das Blatt gefallen, den Herbst erlebt.

An einem stürmischen Nachmittag, wehte der Herbstwind ganz arg. In einem Park gingen zwei einsame Herzen dahin, mit dem Mantel ganz hochgezogen bis zum Kinn. Der Wind wirbelte ihnen Blätter entgegen, noch dazu kam plötzlich ein starker Regen. Ein Mann eilte rasch in einen Unterstand, wo er bereits eine weitere Seele fand. Eine Dame die vorm Winde Zuflucht suchte, und weil ihr schöner Mantel nass war fluchte. Welch ein Wetter! sprach der Mann, worauf er sich seiner Einsamkeit besann. Mit einem Lächeln vermerkte er: Aber das Herbstlaub mag ich gar sehr. Die Dame erfreut über die Zweisamkeit, vergas den Mantel und die Eitelkeit. Mit einem Lächeln sagte sie: Oh ja! Die Farben sind toll, und wie! Mit einem Satz sprang der Mann hervor und hob ein rotbraunes Blatt vom Boden empor. Dies ist für Sie, hübsche Dame! Mit wem hab ich die Ehre? Wie lautet ihr Name? Der kahle Herbst sieht dort im Park ein Pärchen stehen, er lässt vertraut braune Blätter um dieses wehen. Der kühle Herbst sieht zwei Personen in einem Unterstand und beobachtet diese ganz gebannt. Ein Blatt für jemand Anderes gedacht, hat heut jemand neue Liebe gebracht. Da sieht man es nun zwischen den Beiden, sie können sich auf Anhieb gut leiden. Noch heute hängt das rotbraune Blatt an der Wand, bei dem Paar was im herbstlichen Park die Liebe fand. Die Worte gesprochen, die Nähe erstrebt, das Blatt geschenkt, den Herbst erlebt.
