Cum Laude

Cum Laude


It was a study

without money investment.

Time requires time.


Universities do not have

teachers or priceless books,

it is all a waste of food.


Try to listen to the music;

it has no sound, a noise or direction.


I was born, am born in silence,

by silence and because of silence.


A point does not shelter a number

by one blue letter.

Declaration of Independence

Declaration of Independence


An announcement is pure luxury.

The lost testimony was about rotten eggs, lost teeth

and broken dreams.


An injection, normally was taken care of,

by the hospital but nowadays the clergy

has lost it, All.


It are the ways of civilisation.

Black balls do not roll on the High Way,

it is All, very simple when I can watch it


in a manner of independence.


As Time rules more than the world, time

will be ruled by one universal timeless law.

My Heroine

Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans


My Heroine


It was the Second Time.

After the first time, I can still remember.


After all these years,

it is the greatest gratitude,

I feel for days, in the night.


I do not look

into her face, or skin

because I know, it is her.


She hardly could not, eat again.

In case, you would ever, mind.


Whiskey and wine

are the best whitest literature, I know,

since my youth.

Drunk men can’t open one door

because they stumble, all the time

within their House.


It was in the market, at the counter,

not on the counter, of OUR Groceries.


Time stood still.

The grey area

The grey area


She lives in an area,

raised by her parents

and grandparents.

Her mouth, face and body

do not breathe, anything else.


As they think it is normal

to walk along the white houses,

they are watched; that’s all.


I could never possibly understand

in their way of believing a lost faith.

It is in the way, I have seen it,


at night, when they try to dance,

the evening, away.


Anyway, the grey area is

now a white huge space.

Under the balcon


In the air

of the morning,

a breeze comes

in the way of the world.


An open window

gives eye to blue skies

and dreamy poetry,

no one on earth wants to hear.


The afternoon brings a soft rose,

blue bright such a vague

shade on the horizon.


Because every night, he is there

by the ladder under her balcon,

to the open window of moonlight

and lost dreams.


Doves do need feathers

to touch the silence in two hearts.

In the collar


I thought

I was too serious,

yes, I knew, but

I know, why.


That’s why I did,

through fields and forests,

I feel more mystery than poetry

in harmonious water, fog and rain.


It is what I do,

see it All relative,

so relative

as the hardest Path

on my bicycle

in my youth.


It is in my two hands.

Depth of Oceans

Depth of Oceans


An other level

in my life, predicts the opposite,

before I can accept, or know,

it, not always.


I knew know then

that I would bow,

I do that,

seemed so impossible.


It is a matter

of given, in,

in the end.


It is good

not to hope

for the next minute,


but change

the complete universe

within a split second

for the last days.


It is in the inner silence

within my silence,

it has been safe,

all the years.


It was, is not

deeply trust, no.

It is more,

that I have

to write, every day.

In Time

Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans


In Time


I am one of them.

I was one of the Three,

with Christmas.


I was holding on

standing for those

for all those spirits

and their expectations

wishes and prayers.


I kept on my feet

while the smoke was coming

is and has been rising all over


standing there between smoke

of the liturgy and late Christmas.


You were All, sleeping

and I was asked.

Reflections through water

Reflections through water


All over the water

stories were, to be heard.

Over the water,

a surface shone

one face of laughter!


It All seemed to rhyme,

that one day in the River

during Santiago.


Yelling people on the side

but I had a good feeling.

No guards, there,

in the Surroundings.


In the morning, early

very early, I left.

I saw you, there again


after one hour between sheep,

hangover sun, and silence.


You say, moments last,

and that’s what I thought.

Book of ages

[image error]

Book of ages


Silent, in silence

books are in our hands.

It is the way

you look at them.


It is my property,

somehow now.


When I got

familiar by all

the whole idea

it became simple.


Try, try to imagine,

how hard it All was

came to my eyes,

body and soul


when it was not

realised, then.


And yet, now,

I admit, must say,

it is fluent, easy

as the softest water.

The Religion of The Blue Circle

Petra Hermans
Let's talk about life.
Let's talk about love.
Let's write about religion.
And keep quiet in silent silence.
