Oldest spirituality

My hairs have become too long.

The Barber does not agree, no longer.

He changed, expert of skills.

I’m sorry.

I was looking for a new barber

in town.

I have a lot of money, these days!

His Pair of Scissors always made me smile

so sweet in a way, the members of His Team

needed a repair kit.

If you understand, the meaning of good looking girls

a tiny bit, little difference makes my day, when you give

a girl, a small repair-kit, a difference is the day!!

Birds have settled in my hairs, and the hair of hairs

are one mess, I can’t hardly see, what I’ve been writing.

White Chrysanthemum

White Chrysanthemum

In early autumn season,

he showed me yellow flowers.

Big flowers with plastic bags for the cold,

he had raised.

Spring did not give my grandmother,

just eggs of crows & chickens, no, he gave

her purple flowers, small ones.

He was stylish, all of his life

but one trait in his family roots

made a huge lack.

He did not care

for blue Chrysanthemum.

He decided to give me white.

The combination of deep rose, white,

purple and yellow made his dream,

All come clear.

Strong view

[image error]

Photograph I : Tilburg, Westerpark by Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans

Strong view

A small street ends in a nowhere road.

The smallest streets are meant, to see

a view in a sky.

A blind man sees a watch differently,

than a blinded woman.

A better assurance has been tortured.

It was a lost elephant.

The river crosses a bridge,

as if water has been stoned.

I should say, let’s try, then.

A scholar

I never studied

how to write poetry.

I do not think,

a study ever gives.

I have simple roots,

I really, do have.

It was around Christmas,

2018 of the year beyond years.

The elderly, if I may call them,

in this way, this way,

showed me, how to look up,

to someone who is in fact,

small but not smaller.

One of them, replaced herself.

What I, did not like.

I, actually, did, not, like.

More than faith

More than faith

My body and soul are sensitive,

they have a strong statement.

I learned, to carry a lot of bags,

stories and disciplines.

Again, he was the best,

I should have had.

He learned, me, how to fly,

without ever using (human) wings.

In the time, when I was very little and small,

he did not teach, but I acquired the skill,

not to touch pillows, by using his wind of airs.

My tea is cold, as always.

My clothes are perfectly washed.

I know, how to level more than faith,

has ever been written.

It is all, about the mind.

It was All, in my heart.

Without a face

Without a face

He lost his dog.

It is not a problem.

I’ve been trying to look

at your stories, your faces

and your attitude but it is not a reputation.

I said, he had to protect me, when I arrived

in a House, I never saw, before.

That’s what I said, to him, but I cleaned his Home,

took care of the boys and messages.

He started to make cookies for me.

Chocolate chip cookies, in silence, in the night.

I closed the doors at night

and in the morning, he returned.

The door broke out of the shower more than 3 Times.

It is not a problem. There is a warm Bath, everywhere.

Someone, lost a face.

The dog liked it, when music played

while I was having tea, in the morning.

Lightning is not that bad, when the waters

have been taken, care.

Five houses are 5 houses given

for 1 Home.

It was in the end

of the year 2015,

it would be, another year.

I saw them coming over the Hill.

I knew then,

it would be the best year

of all of my life of lives.

May 2016.

Another decision took place,

do not ask, but I have strong legs.

In a book, more characters than one,

have become more than one book.

My left hand

She is the youngest.

She is serious, very serious,

for her age.

Summer days where, there to come

and she prefers to feel

the wind in her hairs.

She is strong,

the strongest member of her family.

She is small but that is a specific quality,

if you see it, in that way.

I never thought, about my force

to say a poem

about the world,

in lovely and sweet poetry.

That’s why I became a poet.

Silent evening

[image error]

Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans

Silent evening

Red carpet candles

hard as stone

were covered by

butterflies, pages

and dresses of a kind.

You try, tried

to look out

the glasses, I’ve been wearing

but all you see

are green stars,

white drops of funny poems

I’ve been saying

because, you did

not listen, no more.

I know, blue waters

fall in green

depths, but there

had to be

1 silver light,

coming in, outside.

It was a signal.

The sound is music,

ears could not hear,

kissed all over,

someone fell

in a silent, sleepy dream.

Blue dreams are

coloured in a silent evening.

A tale

She did not speak Chinese.

That was the problem.

I tried, Japanese

but it did not work, out

the way, it had to.

She is taller, than I am.

She had the capability, to throw

2 breads, fresh and cool, away at once.

I did not think or thought

but I am convinced, she deserves a gold medal.

I was almost, yes almost getting desperate.

I started to talk Vietnamese, that would be the easiest way!

Very very desperate.

Then, it became a merit.

The ducks flew away above a beautiful horizon.
