The roads are rounds, watch

out and avoid them if you --


look for a way out.
Song "Wie weet waar de uitweg is", performance "Neerlands Hoop in Panama" (Song "Who knows the way out", performance "Hope of the Netherlands in Panama", 1971, Freek de Jonge and Bram Vermeulen)

One writer knows another
Who knows one known by the first

Small world, isn't it?
No idea if it even makes sense, came up with this one at 6:30am going to school
He walked into a calmer place,
Away from smoke around his face,
Into eyes of those with wings of grace,
As the dead look on from outer space.

As though it seemed that it was time,
Time to run and time to hide,
Inside his heart he knew he’d stay,
A living amongst not; a needle in hay.


Clouds of dust remind him of those,
Those people who’s sacrifice
they had not chose,
The moon is bright
and the night it glows,
Their crimson blood forever cold.
Deceived by men with hearts of coal,
Without a care for the lives they stole.

So there he lays to rest his brain,
Under corpses of comrades through the heavy rain,
Their faces were frozen in fear and pain,
Had they really all gave their souls in vain?
His wounds meant that this would be his grave,
Is this what it really means to be brave?
Inspired by the sad reality of the events of World War 1. Written by myself when I was 16yo

Okay
'Cause
They're
Going to
Find a way
To capture
Us both and i
Will have to
Run away to
A special
Setting
That is
Just a
Land

Dreaming about you almost every night
Forgot about my ex love, and last time I cried
I think I'd be ok in my own fantasy world
Cause they won't be able to even say a word

Sparkles, everywhere we look
Feels like the world is spinning around us
Stars falling down the sky in loops
Like your sparkly whispers surrounding us
Telling me it's time I open my eyes
Realizing I was dreaming all this time

I Love You -

I have no words
to tell you
how much
I love you

all I can say
is that:

I love you
S o  m u c h
that
all the words in the world
aren't enough
to tell you
how  much

I love you.
2003. This love poem emphasizes love's expansiveness and language's limitations in expressing it.

The fragmented spacing in the title and throughout the poem elongates the sentiment, mirroring the vastness of the speaker’s emotion. The poem captures the ineffability of love, suggesting that words often fall short no matter how much one feels. The structure conveys a palpable longing, conveying both the intensity and the fragility of love.

Hiding within myself,
from the world,
I found the world I was hiding from,
and in it, I found myself,
hiding within myself,
from the world.
(Translated from Romanian) The poem uses the act of hiding as a metaphor for introspection and self-awareness.

The poem's cyclical nature suggests a deep, repetitive introspection. It speaks to the journey of self-discovery, where hiding from external forces paradoxically leads to uncovering one's inner self. The poem reflects an ongoing dialogue between isolation and self-revelation, tapping into themes of identity and solitude.

I know that the world doesn't approve
But hold me as everything else is on snooze
Kiss me through the night
Away from the world's sight
Skin to skin, heart to heart
Promise me we will never part
Just forget, that this no one would approve
Then for once remember that I love you
