Essentials
Hans Peter May 2020
They gave us credentials
by calling us the essentials
but it's just superficial
all we are is sacrificial

Unfolding
Hans Peter Jun 2021
Being close to you
is remarkably divine
it's like all the stars
conspired to align
some things aren't
meant to be understood
we must trust the universe
is unfolding as it should

Mystical
Hans Peter Jun 2021
sure you're a beauty
everyone can see
there's more than that
something touches me

I can't put my finger on it
I just can't explain
it's something I can feel
but it's on a different plane

Is it supernatural?
esoteric or mystical?
it pulls my heart
could be metaphysical

it pulls me towards you
something magnetic?
it brings out rhymes,
something poetic

I know we're connected
tell me you're affected
just as I suspected
a sly smile is detected

Give Us A Break
Hans Peter Jan 2021
I hate this virus 
with a passion
Everything I enjoyed
has gone out of fashion

I hate it that I can't see your face
can't stand that social distancing space
you know I miss your warm embrace
we're being cautious, just in case

We must be cautious for our own sake
careless risks we cannot take
we all know what is at stake
but come on Covid give us a break

As If It Was Our Last
Hans Peter Feb 2021
People like to say
you should live every day
as if it was our last
good words to heed
if of commitments you are freed
or a fortune you have amassed
I'd like to propose
a new tradition to impose
for people that we love and hold dear
I think we should start
whenever we have to part
to act as if the end is near
A hug and a kiss
to show that you'll be missed
out of love, not out of fear
Of course we'll have to wait
until this covid does abate
so to this practice we can adhere

— The End —
