Strategy

Angstpolitik.

Das ist keine Realpolitik.

Zorro

Zorro.

Zorro and Popeye.

Zorro was my favourite.

Shogun. Stratego.

Cluedo. Mastermind.

You can’t play alone.

Tennis. Judo.

Swimming. Running.

Cycling.

Life is not a game.

I hit the ball of my pitcher, before it was time.

Santiago. Life is not a prayer.

My Crystal Ball is there, across the fence.

It is a poem.

Roald Dahl

He used to drink his tea

by fantasies.

A crazy man drives clouds, away.

I’d rather catch them, all.

Hmmm.

Wonderful profession

Wonderful profession

There were times, I dreamed about higher grounds.

There were moments, I wished for silence.

There were thoughts, I hoped to change an old world.

Emotions were given to new spirituality,

what I love most.

Years were understood by the slow candles in my window.

I love to write one word by six levels because it is easy for me.

I love my wonderful profession.



I could not level a degree.

Every minute is a new second.

A wind comes in all houses,

to see thoughts, emotions and doubts.

It’s a silent responsibility and I know my rules.

It is good, to end the day by excellent results.

It’s almost the same as a difference between differences.

The point is, that often, there is no point,

but that’s the most important point.

It is an incredible thankful way of living life.

46th Birthday

He gives me beans in summer.

He gives me cake from winter to winter.

He gave me roses when I was a child.

Fortune has strange ways, when they have been explored.

For my birthday,

December 1, 2018,

a small, little gift arrived.

A stamp was collected of all countries in the world.

A young girl likes to write letters when she’s in love.

My hairs are an attribute of my spirituality.

I have always been an easy child.

My grandfather Jan Goossens was stubborn.

He was a boy.

Silence woods

Silence woods

A moment was gone, before it began.

Paths have risen

sunshine without sweat of brains.

Silence had conquered a victory.

One moment, I lost it all.

Because I didn’t care.

It is a member of a specific category,

she is not very common.

A woman

rarely knows

how to bear happiness!

The house

The house

A house with white doors in all rooms

breathes through our universe.

A house stands in white silence

because there are no other colours

in the living room.

A house with a white bathroom splashes blessings

all over my precious memories!

The house has a different colour on the ceiling;

it’s an exception.

Someone had all kinds of green colours

and she knew how to write her poetry day by day

until a Crystal Ball lightened all her colours in her eyes!

The house of houses lives by a woman

who loves to watch the small, little people on the streets below her.

She never understood their way of occupation

but that’s her meaning of life.

A Sunshine shone outside the glass in an old, new pair of glasses.

I do not think it sang a poem… .

In the evening, the pair of glasses will remain in a new light.

I know, it’s nothing that good, as it was

but some things were meant, to be finished

and after a while, it All started, again,

don’t mention the composer, the musician,

the poet or writer, author or teacher.

It wasn’t me.
