Once you falter, you

keep doing so, in circles --

that will get smaller.

Novel "De eeuwige jachtvelden" (1995, "The happy hunting grounds", 1999 Nanne Tepper), letter from Lisa to Victor (Third book, "Old Houses July 1990")

Collection "Within the walls"

Deep shallows

They say don't test the waters
but absentmindedly dived
in blue and black
engraved with the souls that once adorned my body— bone crushed and barely breathing. Drowned in lovestruck, a ***** to an armor.

How to Lift Unsteadiness?

If I finally find a single fact I’m sure of.

Before my time is up and my mind fully spent.

I’ll cling to it.

Dig my nails into it.

Till it or I break; ****** and bruised

And I'll work for it,

Till my knees buckle and my back bends from straining.

I'll sweat for it.

Lose my breath for it.

Till Death yanks me away from it.

Till then.

I'll have to make do.

I'll search for it.

Why am I so unsure of everything in my life?

Past Is Prologue

A summer of twigs
And disposable cameras
But the skin was shy
And others were watching

So we shifted these walls
And dimmed the lights
To a thousand unclosed eyes
And passed through in eclipse
Of future rhapsody

Uncertainty

Stand you on the cliff of uncertainty
all that is behind is done, what is there to come but air
let courage give you wings, to lift you up from dark despair
for nought is worse than standing still
and wondering on that bare accursed hill

a little Love-note to my Forever Beautiful..

To whom (you) it may (does) concern:

There is nothing Unfaithful whatsoever
about saving your own life.

--it is me who is immersed in unfaithfulness.

You in the dark, you in the pain
You on the run--
Living a hell.. living your ghost
Living your end

..Never seem to get in the place that I belong
Don't wanna lose the time,
lose the time to come

Whatever you say, it's alright
Whatever you do, it's all good..
Whatever you say, it's alright.

Silence is not the way
We need to talk about it..
If heaven is on the way
If heaven is on the way

You in the sea
on a decline
Breaking the waves
Watching the lights go down
Letting the cables sleep

Whatever you say, it's alright
Whatever you do, it's all good
Whatever you say, it's alright..

Silence is not the way
We need to talk about it
If heaven is on the way
We'll wrap the world around it

..I'm a stranger in this town
  I'm a stranger in this town

The journey towards  Perfection
   is far from perfect

Tomorrow

Guaranteed to no one,

Tomorrow is just

Another day...

Sadness, joy,

Or no fun,

Tomorrow's

A day away...

Guaranteed to

No one,

Tomorrow is

just a date,

Fate cares for nothing,

Unless you find something,

Tomorrow is only

A day...

Need money to borrow?

Just ask for it tomorrow.

Need something

For your sorrow?

Just call me up tomorrow...

Tomorrow ain't nothing,

You could make it something,

But still you're left wanting,

For tomorrow again...

Tomorrow isn't guaranteed to anyone. From an overdose when your eyes close, a sudden heart attack; a crash on the highway, all we do is sleep soundly, and hope it goes "my way." Yeah; that's our Tomorrow, either Joy or for sorrow. We close our eyes and lay to sleep, and hope they'll open tomorrow...

Gaudy, it says

Water flows through the rivers, so does our feelings.
We let the wind bring us through the sky, to make us realize that what we feel is real.
-not only a glimpse of uncertainty

Gaudy, it says.
