If you would have seen
Then you would have followed
That fast  beating of your heart
If you would have understood
The reign of the rain
The speed of the clouds
Yet you followed your shadow
Giving questions to the answers
Behind the wall of words
That splash like the drops of a tropical  shower
After the sun burnt a hole in your vulnerable heart
You decided to let go
Yes you saw
Yes you followed
The voice of your heart
As the easy way out

The danceless swan

Whenever she felt danceless
She got her dancingshoes
Whenever she felt senseless
She just made up her mind
Whenever she felt restless
She closed her eyes and travelled
Whenever she felt useless
She looked into the mirror
Whenever she felt careless
She danced her requiem of broken dreams
And when she did she became  the swan  of the doubting but yet hopeful believers in the good of human kind-

She is  sweeter than sugar
Attractive like honey
Pretty as the model she never wanted to be
Strong like the lioness
Fast as the leopard
Sensual like a desert queen
She builds her own castle of the sand that surrounds her
She drinks from the well she creates in her mind
Her blue sky is cloudless but don't come too near her for she is the spider that will digest your body the second you finish the sweet deed of love - Heerings July 2015

The eye of the world

She sees
She selects
She moves
She deletes
She reminds
She pictures
She shows
She is the one
Her lens the eye of the world
She just for a second
Makes sure the moments
Become eternal
She sees
She moves
With the right click
Of those who are left
At places nobody sees

MH17.... one year further

The grief of families
The loss of lives
Bodyparts in the winter landscape
A year flies
But the 298 victims
They don't speak
They don't cry
They just rest
The rest of the innocent
And the quilty rest
Might never be caught
While the toys as ever hold their tongues

The long legs in a dead end street

She was a woman of  talking who forgot to listen
Her days were short stories but her chapters were long
She wanted to live fast but she could not afford it
Her heels were high and when she fell all you heard was a long cry for help

The positive note

There is the music for
The lost
The found
The beaten
The winners
The loved
The unwanted
The happy
The sad
The few
The many
The frightened
The heroes
The cowards
The listeners
The deaf for everything
The ones who feel important
The ones  who are important
But most important
For the lyrics
And the positive note
