Netherlander Are we all lost to the same madness of our singing? Or are we whole as divine codes raining down in solitairy melodies?
I’ve been torn down when lovers’ knowledge told me not to be protected from my faithless heart frame. It tells me that it’s not built to last and was never true anyway. All these times that I knew in facing the mirror every thought turned into that light, shifting moments to disclose the deeper meaning of just being here. Knowing this, holding myself in an act of reconciliation, that part of me burnt out my soul, bound to exile, dangling from me, is my own self esteem. /Prohibited. No one whose presence I feel can forcefully lift it back in, this heavy it’s my burden. Nothing but true unadulterated love can hold me, if only for the fragment it takes to relieve my distrust, of anything, of all that is able to console me. Then it passes and barely leaves me only the memory. © April 16th, 2015

Ephemeral consolation
There is a place in time one wishes happy endings to arise, but will not see, that it is meant to last. I want love but don’t expect any lasting effect. Almost always, one falls out, though it is not impossible. I see the faces, the eyes which show the experiences. I see more in the soul, I know they can tell I search. Maybe, when I see that light, I will be able to say, discern a path given to last to the end. But I can’t until I’ve searched long enough, given enough of myself to have earned a respect from life, the cosmos, to take away any doubt, and let me sway to the eternity of love. Tonight, I just want to feel thrill, behold it how I feel it in my soul, no matter how contrived. I see a way beyond the reflection; I look into my eyes, see whole worlds within. I wait till someone, finally, can see mine. © 2004

Glimpsing gaze
Purple hair, purple jewellery, and clothes. Purple everything. The cross between male and female. Mixed in a painting *** with dried up brush. The coloured high of the ultimate low, for me. It has caused me to see, beyond my own yearnings and see that of more deeply penetrating needs. Another living in my soul. Cruel to me. One I couldn’t have fathomed had I not fallen, into the dark. To see, to need the pain and crush the happy thoughts. Crave purple things above all. Crave a taste bitter only sleep too long can create. Any creation is hailed, heckled as the act of treason. How dare you feel anything constructive?! And hide in a corner till it’s gone. Till the thoughts vapor into thin air and nothing is left but empty blackness. Stand up, failing at first two attempts, and gain the strength to not be ridiculed a third. Falling forward, hanging in mid air. The wood hits the ribs, and sharp pain adds to the blunt. The thumping in the words, the washing of blood in the ears. The whinnying noise, tone of loneliness reaffirming this connection cut off felt from birth on. Never able to join the ranks of the careless. Whether one lives or dies. Afraid to live, stuck behind a thick glass wall. Alienation from birth, being addicted to the dark. With purple hue. Purple ledged in the deep of my soul. Purgatory keeps a flame to warm my naked arms and legs. Huddled in the moist cold of the hidden part of the mind. The most fundamental. Foundation to build a life upon. Not fully corroded but hole ridden and making for a perfect tomb. When life ends and you are left with the colour of both male and female the same. Colour of sadness. © 2004

Sadness comes with me to you, and I speak the words in my mind as I cannot say them to you. Even as my blue grey crosses with your brown, the emptiness fills my subconscious, as your unawareness of not knowing penetrates; the drowning of show and tell suffocates, inside me. Unable I am to satiate my colours for the map, I drew for you lays unread, in the dark on your desk. Inside my eyes, unshed tears are burning, for their way to come out, as it aches and takes the fabric of skin with them to reveal a shallowed passion. I wonder, if I should make an end to it, and once and for all be done with this… But the look in your eyes, however empty of apperception pervade into intuitive truth, though deep words are few. I had not realized, been focusing on the wrong things all along. So I bid, expand your vocabulary on me, I will show you the wealth of the vast universes they can reveal. Into your world they will bleed, as I will read your little star sign book; and with the way in which you devour written words, open up your mind and take mine into it. Give me a reason to look into your unsuspecting eyes, with a sincerity that is blind. © 2005

Confoundingly profound
A strange thought in a night which breaks with the loneliness come forth from togetherness, one ness. A cosmos of a fragmentary manifestation, split into countless mirror shards, of which one shoots through my heart. In nocturnal days and illuminating darknesses finally a depth was found again which seemed so unacquired; that love could not be far away, but here, waiting to dawn. Hearts that steal and souls who rob, people of their glee. In between that all sat still, an island, by choice untouched with eager hands. For he had not sought them out himself. But one day, with a silence which could be so roaring and deceiving, a frail soul, that made overtures to a burning devil was set aflame herself. Yet, she is afraid now to be extinguished before she could have raged. When her eyes tell what her mouth cannot; his and that dreadful gentle look, not knowing, and lips seeking out a heart that bleeds. But a small tear, but one which will pull open and gush, tears of both sadness and joy, that a not discussed secret could stir her, and at the same time surely could affirm, that her heart hadn’t died down, but felt just as much as a flower which only just bloomed. © 2005

An encounter
Are you there to please me? In our unchangeable goodbyes, or outside them you can’t wash away my ache, of when I am with you or I am without. The smile through your shades, in the sun, flickering to the pain of moments coming to be; an absence of you and a guess, but only scratching the surface of what I am seeing is filling in my heart till its edges, yet unfulfilled; what a certain other couldn’t do for me. Make me stop thinking and talking, merely looking at the bursts in your eyes, the home with you, I feel estranged and arriving at times when you look at me, capture my heart. Through glass of the mind and glasses for your eyes you keep me as your arms reach to hold onto me, cling to me. Inhaling my scent and kissing my hair, in the intense of intently. In the sun today, saying our repeated goodbye, the truth felt as if it was nothing I could say, nothing you couldn’t know, yet only the surface was scratched, but still I hope you know I ache more before watching you leave. 2005

Aches
Did he take his wrists? First the right, then the left? Because it was easier to make the last incision? What made him make this decision? Something from inside bartered for his sanity? Never the external influences who keep their thoughts to themselves. What made him decide to take the risk? It’s never too late to see; how lovely things could be. When I feel the blood that pumps through them, I would – I could never take my own. I feel it too painful in thought, too precious to be. When I rub on my wrists I think of him. How could one try to take his own life? I ask me. © 2005

Inconsolable needs
On my way down, crashing into the earth, the soil feels so hard. There’s no more grace in my form unfolding, the sun has made me a passive fool to burn. My words are empty, my beauty’s fading with the light which brings out the flaws. Once, I was at my height, I could see the way down and I tumbled over. I’ve no hopes for him, for I know he doesn’t want me. One solitary wave doesn’t erase words unsaid. I don’t want to care, I don’t want to feel shoved aside and forgotten. I see how love works and she doesn’t bend to me. I’ve no salvation once the expectation and perfection has been declared. All the ride up meant is I’ll come down again. © September 2004

Wingless angel
My blood creeps through my head, in reverie. I was left unspoken to and there are things I couldn’t say, how this was I could not talk with whom it mattered, at least to whom I thought it did. And purging through the sand in the hourglass, the grains start to feel like though they roughen up my skin, it remains untouched by you. And it bleeds on the inside, as I have my head and heart waiting for reply. But it won’t come. How silence can unpierce through me like an ethereal needle cushion. Am I not worth it, have I left your mind now more than I have before? For the screen I look and sit, patience I am burning, like long incense sticks, but alas, my room’s ceiling has not the height to hold the scent imprisoned above me, and it escapes, with light smoke spiraling down the stairwell, it is devoid of all serenity bringing quality. Still I keep myself clean, from the foul smell of darkness, and maintain my artificial scent, longing to break the concentration that I need to stay calm over this. Though in almost more time I feel it become more useless. I am not built for the speechless weight of others; I wish you’d just come talk to me. © 2004

Bated thought
We know which sacrifices what we believe in brings So we will sit together amongst the trees to celebrate, the destruction and the fluster of All this released creativity. So we know that only with standing together We can own the future that comes to us, something we fought tooth and nail To stand for, to gather for and burn our empires. On the pyres of our ruined privilege we cry. Our holy times, They have come and gone. In the emptiness we find our souls again and Reclaim the soil that was born from all our forbearers together. And we know that We own whatever will comes fleeting toward us. In our clenched fists we hold hope and crush The remains of past empires and privileges. © 24 November 2013
