The Writer 2

The
words in my heart
want to float
on breath
lips part

Oblivious
to the fact
my body
does not speak,
it acts

So my 
appeasing mind
is sending
kind reminders,
moving syllables
from chest
to fingers

But not tonight

Tonight
we will sleep
close together
so
the hard
they will not keep
they will soft
like feathers
By morning
typewritten
by hands
and keyboard
smitten

The Ease of Night

What is it about you
they ask
Stepping on a sidewalk
alone
softly bathing
in diffused street light
on a
not so cold
November night
kissed by
a tender mist
manifesting
this
ethereal sight

I'm not too sure
I replied
Maybe it might
be
the comfort
that sunless hours
provide
The dark
of the lone
of the heart
no more visible
blending in
discarding
the daylight mask
of forced All Right

Why you walk
they ask
in
diffused street light
on a
not so cold
November night

I'm sure quite
I replied
because
that's exactly
where
me and True
we reunite

All right

I know
you might
see not
the stars
see not
the light

I know
you might
feel still
the scars
still feel
the fight

we know
we might
be essentially broken
but with each breath
we grow
we love
more outspoken

We know
we might
be scattered
all right
but together
we will rise
straight from
the ashes
straight out
the abyss
because
our realness
is what
defines
the Phoenix

Har(d)(t)

Ik zei dat we moesten breken
...
Alsof je niets voor mij betekent

Dat is het niet

Ik weet niet hoe jij het ziet
Ik kan enkel ervaren
door mijn ogen
en
liefde voor mezelf heb ik bijna niet
Hoe heb jij dan dat vermogen?

In de schacht gegraven
door de vrouw
die mij heeft gedragen
Is het soms te donker
om te kijken
te moeilijk
te begrijpen
hoe in stilte
vulkanen kunnen zitten

De afstand en de rust
hebben mij nu kalm gekust
hebben mij doen wensen
dat jij nu,
van alle mensen,
hier was

ik zou
je willen vasthouden
ik zou
luisteren
naar mijn hart
ik zou
je willen toevertrouwen
heel zacht
dat ik je mis
en dat ik nu wel besef,
lieve schat,
dat het voor jou
ook niet
gemakkelijk is

Ik zou
maar
laat je
niets weten
Wellicht
ben jij mij
al lang
vergeten...

Can You

Can I
just lay here with you
Can you
take all of my past
just lift it all off me

Can I
just be real with you
Can I
stop exaggerating walls
fabricating characters
just for you to run from me

Can I
soften in your arms
Can you
home this broken heart

Can I
just submerge in your consoling stability
Can I
just unfold myself in all vulnerability
Can you
just fearlessly love and accept me for me

Fever

Hands tucked
touching
one another
Lips locked
Two become one
wonder

I can't evoke
the thought enough
Hands like
mulberry silk
painting with
our bodies' ink

The glowing
of our skin
illuminating cupid
My angel,
true love is no sin
it's divinity
undisputed

Friends

Ik weet
hoe moeilijk je het hebt
Vluchtend voor
spoken onder het bed,
skeletten in je kasten

Ik heb er van gehoord
hoe je probeert te dansen
op een flinterdun koord
Ik zie
hoe demonen je tarten

Mijn lief,
ik weet niet
wie je was
wil het ook niet weten
Fabels zijn
groener gras
Ik hou van je
onvolmaakte heden

Jij zegt
'Er is niemand als jij
die ik ken'
Hoor dan het zacht 
in mijn stem
Zie het warm
in mijn ogen

Nieuwe kamer
Nieuwe dromen

To You

To you reading this right now:

It's going to be OK
You're going to be OK

I Love You

X



Sweetest You and Dearest Me

I really must apologize
to you and to myself
I'm clearly not that wise
having love covered
in a pain scent

I think I must say sorry
to you and to myself
as I pick and choose the contrary
of what I really do intend

Please do accept my pardon,
sweetest you and dearest me,
Past locked me in this weeded garden
overgrown tares hiding me the key

MotherHustler

Inevitability

Two times lucky,
Third time a charm
What a scam...
Ambiguous Lady Luck,
you charlatan

Fortuna a prophetess
My ashes held by her urn
I will be scattered
at a sea bottomless
No flames able to burn
the card adorned tables,
expectant of me,
ready for their turn

Stop.

I need to stop writing
Can't get things done
It's because of the sleep depriving
when you're sick and have kids
and rest there is none

My only true company
are these muses within me
even though I feel happy and free
with every move they dare me
they just won't let me be
Can't have me stop writing
It must be, surely, the sleep depriving.

Us

I am
too much of colours
too much directions
of wind
Than
there is you
Still

We are
too much of contrast
too much of differing

We have
a hundred flags
waving
Than
there is us
choosing to notice nil


MotherHustler

I Just Can't Be

That's just not me
I just can't be
the salt of dried tears
on those cheeks

Guess it was fun
but you just listen, hun'

That was not me 
I just can't and won't be
the salt of dried tears 
on those cheeks

Hope we will be fading
now
feelings will be subsiding
now
The end just in time
now
For us to move on
now
Towards unblemished skies
now

Guess it was fun
But as true as it was, hun'

Next would be me...

So I just can't and won't be
the salt of dried tears
on her cheeks.

Welcome back, Me

Weighted down
Before

Choice gifted liberation
 Now

Floating lightly
Featherlight

Free

Welcome back, Me

Lightly loving
Tenderly touching
Loudly laughing

Oh, how I have missed She

Welcome back, Me

Misschien...

Gek en ondankbaar
misschien
Waar ik sta
even klaar
mezelf
door jouw ogen
te zien

Geen bericht
vastbesloten
de waarde van
zelf
niet langer
te stropen

Reiken wil ik
omfloerst
beneveld
Niets is
wat dat betekent

Gek en ondankbaar
Misschien
maar waar ik sta
even klaar
veiliger
jezelf
door haar ogen
te blijven zien

Misschien

Lieve Wim

Lief ja
Kostbare tijd genomen
me te verwoorden

Ik duidelijk
onduidelijk
Irritatie
Uw gevoel

Niet mijn doel

Wel gebruiken
een steen om
onder te kruipen

Ik houd op

Ik stop

Enkel nog
mijn blog

voor die
2 man
en een paardenkop

Birthday

When you really care for people
you really hope they like you too
you want to shower them with attention
but you just can't force them into feeling the same way too

Sometimes all previous hurts in you are wishing
for gestures of affection even ever so small 
after all we've been through we still keep on expecting 
for others to heal us when actually it is not their responsibility at all

Continuously craving connection with someone
although it's very apparent that relationships we're unable to sustain
always finding ourselves at the lines of the border
between the lies of past grief and that what is sane

Now all clouds may have a silver lining
but all tears reflect prisma colours too
just the other day my kids were shouting:
‘Mommy, mommy! Look what we made for you!’

Epilogue:
My sweet angels,
I cannot explain the extent of the love I have for you two
The limitlessness of my patience to solve all of your problems to get you through
At your births I devoted myself to always nourish, comfort and care for you
But even if it is mรฉ who out of every dire situation has been saving yรณu,
I cannot help but feeling, that on the days you both were born, I was rescued too.

My Boy

I know that you’re perfect
Like, exactly how you are
Crown jewel of life’s architect
My seventh heaven star

Your first cry had me uncovered
Inner angel and demon bared
Previously paint picture recolored
Decades of vaccuum aired

Even now when you are raging
Ingeniously defying me
That's not you but me gauging
The measure of my insecurity

My son,
I know that you’re perfect
and that the storms in you are too
your 'flaws' only there to reflect
the real essence of love and true.

My sweet baby continuously challenging my points of view,
I so so so so so do love you.

Mama
