Wanted, and yet not

I was no unwanted weed just a pumpkin seed that didn't grow a rose.
I was no cuckoo's egg just a sparrow's egg that never hatched an eagle.
Dutifully they watered me every single drop poisoned with unspoken disappointment "You are no rose!"
Dutifully I broke every single sparrow's bone with unspoken despair "I am no eagle!"
No rose grew, no eagle flew a broken sparrow lies on the ground.

Sie kündet uns vom bitt'ren Brot - Tod!
Die Totenvögel, sie sind da raaaaaaa Schaurig schreit die schwarze Schar raaaaaaa Hoch am Himmel, unnahbar raaaaaaa
Und wer die schwarzen Vögel sieht - flieht!

Winter Apple TreeMaybe I'm a winter apple tree: As spring brings bloom so frost brings me Although the tree now sleeps.
Maybe I'm a frozen winter well: Where tears might stream or anger yell Now winter's frost restricts the flow.
The well fell dry with winter's ice The apple tree stands bare - But apple trees need winter's sleep To bear their fruit anew. Winter Apple Tree

Faellt SchweigenFällt Schweigen birgt leise ein tiefes Geheimnis.
Todeskälte durchweht den Moment.
Sag - bist du bei mir, wenn die Sonne erlischt? Faellt Schweigen

What I found at InfinityI saw many curious things when I arrived at infinity - I stood at the edge of existence and looked back at everything; I grazed in the field where every graph ends; I stood at the bottom of a fractal and pricked my finger on the barbs; I met the last digit of pi a friendly sort, if a bit shy his only friends finish e and phi; I nearly fell off the Cartesian plane, b What I found at Infinity

No, I'm not new...

... to deviantART, I just made myself a new account. My main account is ~Ratafluke; ~Nebelstreif will be dedicated to writings. I feel it's better to have two separate accounts for photography and poetry. Keeps things more organized than having both of them in one gallery. That way, people can watch ~Ratafluke for pictures and ~Nebelstreif for poems. (Of course, you are welcome to watch both accounts, if you like all my stuff!) Besides, when writing descriptions for my photos sometimes I end up with little poems, and now I can enter those into the poetry gallery as well, without having more or less the same deviation twice in one gallery.

The name Nebelstreif means "streak of mist" (pronounced something like nable-shtrife). It comes from Goethe's Erlkönig (translation [link]), and goes to Lake of Tears' A Foreign Road ;]

"Mein Sohn, was birgst Du so bang Dein Gesicht?" -
"Siehst, Vater, Du den Erlkönig nicht?
"Den Erlenkönig, mit Kron und Schweif?" -
"Mein Sohn, es ist ein Nebelstreif."

I recall the crossroads, the junction of ways
The misty morning fog, where I chose my faith

PS: I always strive to write in-depth comments (and hope to receive the same!). Works quite well for photography. However I'm a noob to commenting on poetry, so don't expect too much in the beginning.

I appreciate your studious and intellectual approach to poetry, I look forward to, in time, reading through each of your poems. I only hope I will be able to offer valuable and insightful feedback.
