Miss you
My heart aches,
eyes filled with tears
Every time I come home
My eyes search for you
I expect  to hear you bark
come to me with wiggling tail
Happy to see me.
Now it’s silent
I almost asked
Where is he?
Every time you would wait for me
to eat together
Yes it was stressful at the end
But how I miss you my faithful friend.
How I miss you when I come home and you’re not there.
Every time .

Sunset senses
Watching sunset at the horizon
It’s like listening to a silent symphony
Feeling peace.
Like smelling night’s white jasmine
While tasting juicy sunny strawberries
Like entering a new dimension where time doesn’t exist
Disappearing into this weightless being.

When you lose a loved one
All alone, can’t help myself
so much feelings inside of me
Thinking of you
and how everything went by.
Seeing like a train passing by
Feelings of sadness, happiness and gratitude
Coming to me
Overwhelming me.

Cradle me
Cradle me slowly
in the crows deception
Cause deception it is.
The devil comes in many disguise.
A black crow sitting while watching a dark sky.
But it’s a white raven flying high , takes you away
up to the sky.
Stealing your mind , body and soul
Yes you will lose all control.
Be aware if everything seems so perfectly well.
Says what you want to hear
Does what you expect him to.
He works on your mind and sets you blind.
When you realize you’ve been fooled it will already be too late too!
You’re soul has been sold.
Once you sleep with the devil
Hell is the place you hold.

Blue dream
Almost disappearing in the unseen
You try your best but no one cares, it seems.
Then you walk in a field of violet violets
Lay me down on a purple dream
Let me dream the dreams of royals
where angels do appear near,
where wisdom prevails,
gone are all the fears.

Humility takes you all the way
Brings love and peace to you
All the blues will disappear.
A happy place is where you end
Everyone feels you’re there.
I bring violet violets for you
because you’re such a kind being.
I see you.

Graceful being
The power of God
is what’s in you
On your mind
Your thoughts
What you do with
what you know
and how you feel.
How you express yourself
The way you walk and talk.

Kind are those who are grateful
for every little blessing in their life
When body and mind are one
there is harmony within.
When there is harmony
there will be Inner peace.
Like a swan over calm waters
Moving silently.
Gracefully.

Over silent waters
The swan is sliding
Nothing seems to be moving
Not even the waters
Full of elegance

Out of gratefulness came gracefulness.

Sadness
When you leave
Only sadness and tears
Knowing you can go on
without me.
The world and my dreams
turn black and white
The stars have lost their sparkle.

Sadness and heartache
Any loss hurts
Leaves one with sorrow and pain
A heavy heart remains
But know
Someone who left willingly
Ain’t worth tears
Ain’t worth fears
Ain’t worth  years

Don’t hold on
Let it be gone
Carry on
Tomorrow something better
comes along!!
You hit rock bottom
but are still strong

This year...
Put yourself first!!
Mark my words
They  ain’t worth
Just pray
For strength
Be  happy every day
with yourself.

Everlasting aura of love
As the world turns darker
moving,
it becomes day
As I walk towards the beginning
moving,
it becomes the end.
Life stands still sometimes
while the clock is still ticking time away.
Time will always carry on.

Day and night will always be, always follow each other.
Always together but not.
Like the sun and the moon
always together but not.
Only meeting at twilight.

I look at the horizon
and see infinity
Everlasting sea as far as the eyes can see
It was always you and me
different time lines
crossing over.
Always you waiting there for me through eternity.

As the bird is flying higher
and high to reach the end
of heavens
I fly high in my mind to the center where you are.
In love nothing matters
different worlds , different times, different time lines .
Different universes.

Always connected with invisible bridges from
window to window.
Still you and me .
The core of love
with everything in it.
Open your window,
look at the stars .
Souls  always waiting from afar
for their mate to arrive.
Always meeting in the end

Love knows no distance,
no timeline.
It travels through space,
crosses timelines
to be with the beloved.

Moments in dementia
Lost in a dark space
Dancing in my mind,
all night long on the melody within.
The song that’s in my heart
bringing back memories dear to me,
long forgotten words like bright butterflies
in search of attractive colored bloom.
Memories from time that’s death
still shining like a star on midnight’s heaven.
I smell the scent of white jasmine
and in your arms I’m back again.
Then everything fades away and I’m back
above grey clouds where there is no light to see.
Floating around not knowing who I am and where I’m going.
Lost in my world of silence.
I hear voices known to me
not knowing who are the speakers.
Drowning in shallow waters,
pray to God to set me free,
lead me home to familiar faces.
The fear that is choking me like
black cotton in my airways.
In a moment very clear to me
I’m back with my mother, brothers, sisters
and my father.
Home sweet home.
I’m smiling.
I am found.

Dementia, much pain and sadness for the patient and everyone close.
You are on the battlefield
Killing another human being
Do you know him?
Throwing bombs and firing missiles.
Killing innocent children.
Innocent just like yours.
Don’t you have children in your family?
Do you feel good doing this, satisfied?
To be the cause of so much pain and sadness.
Look at each other on the battlefield.
You two are the same.
Killing for peace.
You won’t die a hero.
There are no winners in war, only losers.

Such useless wars everywhere.

Pink peony, moments of love
Pink peony, ticking clock , unread book
hourglass

My love
Time doesn’t wait
Never has since the beginning of time.
Doesn’t wait for flowers to last
Happiness, beauty, wealth and romance
All can fade away with time
Like reading a book, hoping that it will never end but it does.
My love,
Let our love be pure and honest, never ending.
Like a lovely fragrance in a bottle.
Always there.
Soft pink peony, for all the above you stand
For honor and love you stand too
Let my love be forever, moments of love,
time after time.
Strung together.
As was meant to be.

Winter vibes
Weather is mild, last earth colors
are closing the eyes
returning back to dirt of Earth
From afar comes the sound of a lovely hymn
It comes on the wings of a white snowbird
Freezing cold wind is howling
embracing the skin
It’s time to prepare the logs for an open fire.
We hear the silence of the first snowflakes falling softly.
Orange to yellow lights stay on the whole day
Pine trees are wearing their white coats changing the view in a special warm way
creating this precious Christmas card.

It’s here
Winter time, silent and peaceful.
Let’s stay inside, on the couch under a warm blanket.
Let’s have hot chocolate milk
and roast some chestnuts.

While my whole being longs to be,

When I die who will carry me.

Threshold of Love 💘
When in love with forbidden love
Guilty pleasure can begin
As is the beginning of a dark game
Seems exciting, so much passion
In wanting what isn’t yours to begin with.
All the more attracted you are
But know this
It isn’t worth the heartache and the pain
The waiting of two for the same.
In the end everybody loses.
The love, the trust
Many stay broken hearted
in this ugly game.

Never take something
that doesn’t belong to you.
That’s called stealing.
Never betray someone
who trusted you.
That’s called cheating.
Temptations are always there.
Certain things in life are sacred
It ain’t worthy
to lose the good things you already got.

Cherish what you have.

Never ever judge.
I was standing proud
Holding my newborn in my arms
Looking around if someone was noticing me.
Look at me with this blanket wrapped wonder.
A bud to bloom in life.
I was, in away, a newborn too
No one had prepared me for this.
This feeling…..

When growing up nothing was to much for me.
That proud feeling never left.
I could sit and watch you from afar, thinking God has given me this wonderful human being, happy child.

Then gradually I saw a teenager developing. That came with up and downs.
Not mama’s little child anymore.
I saw you search your way through life
Thinking you knew it all.
Not listening anymore.
Saying,
how could I know better when it was a different time with things I myself didn’t grow up with.

Then bad news knocked on the  door. The unexpected.
The worst.

Mother, father in pain
While writing this I cry.
The proud of your life did something you can’t comprehend.
Very hard to accept. You still can’t understand how this was even possible.
In shock.

Know that this
doesn’t make you a bad parent. Did you fail your child?
Maybe, maybe not.
What happened can be the result of so many things.
When children become adults and doing their own thing,
are in bad company
you have no control over that.
Of course it is wrong and you’re disappointed and sad,
there could have been other solutions. But most things happen in the moment.
Your child failed you.
All your expectations were swept away in one slap.
Like a hurricane destroying everything you build.
It hurts so much….

You want to run away and towards at the same time
You want to yell and scream
and give comfort at the same time
Tell yourself everything is going to be alright.

What happened was wrong.
The parents are the first to acknowledge  that.
The first to feel the guilt.
And for what?
God forbid it doesn’t happen to you
So don’t judge.


Your child will always be your child. No matter what .
There can be a wall between you .
There can be bars separating you,
but the love
will always be there as will be the tears in the eyes and the pain inside.

Child,
Fruit of my womb.
The flower in my life.
No matter what.

Mysterious wind
Moving air in four directions
You present yourself in different ways.
Sometimes you stand still
Carry me over land
Cross me over oceans
Bring me to where earth ends
Sometimes you make me fly
Sweet whispers in my ear
Lift my spirit up
You move everything you touch.
Bring tears to my eyes.

Music ways 🎶
Listening to music
like oxygen through the veins
To the depth of the mind
Puts a smile on the face
Or tears in the eyes
Sometimes both.

Makes you silent, makes you think.
All kinds of feelings
Connects all kinds of people
All over the world
It makes life worth living.

After Earth went full circle around the sun
The New Year sets in
A new circle begins
The same circle over and over again
Yet each year a different path
No one knows what this year will bring
We can predict and always hope for the best
And with each passing day
many things for many people become full  circle everyday.
Full circles within full circles
That is Universe
That is life
Live your life the fullest
Always be hopeful
Even at your lowest point
Be kind to each other
Love is the only thing
that matters in this circle called life.
Carry each other.
From seed to plant to fruit to seed.
Full circle and another year will pass
Protect Earth and all living things so we can go full circle again and again and again.

Guess they can see

Here I am
Broken to the bone
Everything hurts can’t breathe anymore.
God are You there?
Do You see me lying here
Do You still watch over me
taking care, protecting me?
I’ve lost my path in life, left in  the cold.
I’m on the road to living hell
searching the way back to home.
Only heartbreak and sorrow.
I’ve been in touch with the devil.
Had him in my veins, my brains.
Nowhere to go only places to hide.
Nothing to eat, afraid for the night.
That’s the time I got to think, miss them all.
Homeless
When will my time come for happiness
and to be really free.
God are you there, are you near?

Life in twilight zone
There comes a time in everyone’s life
where you must take a pause and reflect
On how your life turned out te be
from where you’re coming from
and where you’re heading to.
How it is with you.
You know it will not always be easy  this journey you’re on, but good things are also there just open eyes and mind .
Just like  the calming ocean can turn in rough waves too
Storms come and go in life and in our hearts too.
While dark clouds can be visible you can see the sun behind , showing you a beautiful twilight zone right before night falls.
Nature, sky and oceans
reflections of life itself
Treat everything accordingly.
Nature is life  right before your eyes.

Cherish life and nature.
