Marialenn Langendoen / Born in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, now living in Oosterhout Nbr. Writing is for me like ‘painting my deepest feelings with words’. I traveled a lot around the world, meeting different people, different religions and different opinions. Impressions built my life and make me realize how rich and overwhelming life can be. I live with the utmost gratitude and respect for life and it’s inhabitants. My collection of poems has the name: The invisible cloak of life.
it’s really autumn now,
still early though and in addition to a heavy rain
a fall of leaves is falling carefully too,
well, letting go. sometimes takes time
my thoughts, also wandering
some of them fall into the soft bed of my heart
gently, lovingly received
and bring a smile to my face
they are transformed, I know,
what a wealth,
all colours showing their beauty
and radiant in the light
Is there anything more that I want
nothing,
I let myself be nourished with that what is
because sun shines on my shoulders

all those sparkling tears
make way for a new love
like a river they flow
searching their way
to another heart
gently, gently
the storm has calmed down

the world is mine
i walk my path sun on my shoulders
and now and then a shadow of the past
balancing around the centerline
the world is mine

a day after the heat
a few licking flames
tormenting my body
I pray for cooling
desperate
but my tears just feed those flames
the pain is unbearable
I just want to dissolve
like water evaporates by the fire

His texts were like a zipper,
an opening to an old wound
where the worm ate sunrays in his guts
he made fire
underwater,
again and again,
until all extinguished
with one bang

Put down your veil so I can recognize you
show me your light,
your changing colors
without paint
I remember that white dress
like wings it was
you went a different way
there at the crossroads
you came, silently
returning not blurred
but immensely present

hold me, she said
against all knowledge
a rhetorical question
let me go, she said
against all knowledge
a rhetorical question
inseparable
the force of connected souls
eternity
the sky
she touched
the earth
he moved
it was
completed

butterflies
these tiny pieces of heaven
in my stomach
electrifying

I am the sediment of various layers
formed by nature’s forces
my dna, an open vessel
in which my soul receives and retains,
like a cocoon opens and renews,
over and over again
not to be forgotten,
between light and shadow
a construction of the true self,
polished by erosion
until that what remains
has blurred the illusions
and the core,
only a grain of sand,
is left
