Last night I waited for
My pay check to hit,
12:00 am rolls around
The clock like kids
Playing leapfrog,
And I feel the frown
On my face
Muscle through
As the numbers go up
And back down,
god, do I
Wish rent
Was cheaper.

Cradle great sadness

in music, there are no words --


that can carry it.
Interview "Tussen het brullen door" ("In between wailing") by Frénk van der Linden with Anna Enquist, about "De ijsdragers" ("The ice bearers"), in the NRC Handelsblad of February 1st, 2002

Collection "Blankets of snow"
Tuesday years ago,
32 minutes before 5:00,
the time where the
adopted son of Calliope
caught her attention.

The moon quickly
jumped off between
the beats of a human heart,
it's vast and bright,
unusual and odd
but perfect and majestic.

Right in the core of the town,
lamps fired by
itself  in blue flames
whilst snoozing seeds
begin to grow day by day
until a new paradise was created.

The new town was strange
- but heavenly beautiful.
Eros' formicas starts
falling in line and
waiting for the splash of the candy
in every ping-pong ticks.
Quiet winds whisper,
Not all battles are your own —
Leave them to the storm.
Stay out of matters that aren't your business. 😊

Oh, I could drown in the air
Suffocate in the seas
I could float in the waterfall
Or fall in the breeze

Oh, I could freeze from the blazing sun
Burn from the coldness of a heart
I could stand on the whole universe
Or on each grain of sand's part

Oh, I could materialize anywhere
Or disappear for good
I've tried to do everything, normal or strange
But I could still never be understood.
this is my 57th poem, obviously, written on 11/27/23.

I am Lost

My soul resonates
with the prettiest and darkest things.
I feel and hurt
and live and rejoice
and die and hate
and forgive.
I do it all
in a whirlwind of emotions so no wonder.
No wonder
I don’t know what’s forward or backwards or even what to say
Or do next.
I am so lost.

So, I like lipstick
And kissing someone I know
Or someone I don't

the words i love you

Hello

Why does that little wheel spin?
Why does my patience wear thin?

Where are the poems I seek to read?
Where is the solution that we need?

Please repair the sites buffering
Please end our incessant suffering

We want to feel through others words
We want to work towards

neon lights
illuminate the night’s
heavy clouds

while rain muffles
the constant urban humming

pierced by distant sirens
moving slowly
through concrete canyons.
