18 Heyy welcome to my page! I'm just your average Joe trying to make sense of life. The poems that are written down here are translated from Dutch, my native language.
In a field of grain there stands the tree, alone He watches the farmer sow the grain and mow it down again Time and again the tree remains, alone He sees the sun rise and the stars sing praise to the moon Time and again, in all weather The tree sighs - he might as well be air Not a soul who honours his shade, though he faithfully shields the ground from the sun The tree's branches crack with sorrow - who has ever not left him? The grain tries to console him, but the tree knows: grain never stays Grain scatters its seeds upon the wind and one can hear their song of life carry far, until the farmer plants his new harvest The tree sighs and lets his leaves fall when winter's cold reaches the halls of man Beneath thick bark the tree tucks away his hope as the landscape fades and pales The bare tree creaks; with grief as the hollow that takes hold, he enters spring A bird comes flying in It is a woodpecker, fighting her way through the canopy She lands, sits in the hollow, and is gone again She flies back and forth - hollow, ground, hollow, ground - and all at once She fills the hollow with a nest The tree cannot contain his rapture; this woodpecker he will praise for all eternity And green buds burst forth for the woodpecker who sings so beautifully There they clatter and creak, filling one another with love

The tree
when the lies fall from the sky the air fills with rockets and hellfire then clouds and crowds are the cannonfodder for the crows WHEN YOU DIE YOU LEAVE THIS EARTHLY REALM NEVER TO RETURN when the screams drown out the blood slips through the seems of your clothes then embrace the numbness and leave your last breath on the floor

I build castles of sand and clay Time and again Again and again I build castles of sand And you trample them, you topple them down I build castles of sand Open my gates, lower the drawbridge Again and again Time and again Do you trample them, do you topple them down? I build castles of sand This is the last time The last drop in a sea of tears I gather the shards of a broken heart Time and again Again and again I build castles of granite This time you will not come But nothing and no one Will find me in this emptiness I dwell in my castles of granite I glue the shards together You steal the glue Forever I remain broken I raise the drawbridge And fill the moat With the grief and the tears of loneliness

Castles of Sand
When time collides with space and the endless universe can be summed up in one verse When neurons fire and your skin gets goose bumps When every fiber of my being is trying to hold on to yours and the sounds drown out When my arms wrap around your waist and pull you in for a kiss

At the wall
When the snow drifts gently down, it lays a carpet white - a carpet veiling silent pain. When the snow drifts gently down, the world is held within the hush of cold. When the sun begins to rise, it warms the skins - the skins of laughter. When the sun begins to rise, the world is bathed in quiet warmth.

Cloak of nature
When morning’s ashen gray Dissolves into heaven’s blue, And glassy panes Reflect the sun’s own glow, Then flowers bloom And leaves run wild within the wind, Until God’s wonder rises to its feet. Then dew becomes the sweat of the last night, And the sun the reason for a smile. Then bees begin to hum, And creatures race the livelong day, Until God’s wonder lays itself back down, And heaven’s blue turns into evening’s hush.

Sweet repose
While the headlights watch for me Enriching my view of the world I sit alone with the night in my thoughts That which we so long for Neither the stars nor the moon Are standing in our way Just you and me And this hopeless jumble of words

Roadtrip
In lost hours I long for your existence In lost hours I long to leave together Minha querida How happy you make me Even in these hours of despair You give me eternal hope I feel reborn As if chosen Every time your eyes Engulf my soul in a sweet, dreamy warmth That I would not tolerate from anyone else Time and again, I am overcome by a calmness That I have been searching for my whole life How you do this? That is anyone's guess But I miss you And love you With all my heart
