Dance of a lion

Dance of a lion


It curls, the way

she wears her dress.

It curls, the way

she speaks her hairs.


It curls, the letter

of her left hand.


The dance of a lion,

was not made by her.

She can’t dance.


The dance of a lion

needs more and longer

than one day, not three days.

It’s the dance of a lion

who knows the wind

above all spheres

of sand, air and water,

in silence and relentless

calm unknown depth.


I am too serious,

whenever I write.

“Simon had die nacht lang naar de schereneilanden staan kijken

en bedacht dat de eilanden wisten dat hij daar stond en hen waarnam.

Hij had zich gerealiseerd dat ze al een eeuwigheid hun eigen leven leidden;

sinds het ijs van de ijstijd tienduizenden jaren geleden was vertrokken, had

niets hen meer beïnvloed. Maar daarna had hij zich gerealiseerd dat ze

een andere tijdrekening hadden.”

After the wind

After the wind


I can say, a difference should be

in between the taste

of warm earl grey tea or soft lemonade.


I am dancing on the oldest table

of our human race, the weight

is behind all airs!


I say, I ask

is there a small choice

in between earl grey tea

in the morning, or lemonade?


In the memory of my sweet child,

a white flower has a scent,

your nouse had a different knowledge

but the wisest nose should have loved

it more, today.


After the wind, in my hands and hairs

had one letter in mind,

it is that dream you have been

holding on, to, all of your life!

The sweetest sphere

Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans


The sweetest sphere


A wild flower opened

in the middle of a night,

by an old signature.


All colours of prismatic light

were shining down upon her.

She was wondered, why

all the beautiful wonders of life,

would be received in that way.


The morning was bright, white birds

were relying soft slowly

by a sphere in the sweetest airs

under the Moon.


I cannot describe, the moment,

I felt it All, so indescribable.


I know for sure, someone gave me

a power of force to look through it All.

One silver beige coat

One silver beige coat


It is winter time

someone should have said it, to me.

I, who does not feel the temperature.


It would belong to my next life

I belonged to the oldest country

on planet earth.

I, who do not speak, think by silence.


As I look, behind my left hand,

a white country was loved for longest days.


Slowly, I bow my two hands,

the smallest feet do not touch

the ground and I love, do love

to hold strongly at one silver decoration

of my newest coat.

The first snowbeam


At first, I looked at all of you,

closely.

Then, I got far away.


I do not think, or write there.

I may not be able, to love somebody.


In two worlds under my profession,

it is an extraordinary vision

without a heart, a letter or book.


It is my silence in the evening,

when all the sugar is left,

next to my cold Tea.

A left hand morning

[image error]


Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans


A left hand morning


It was always true and

meant to last, forever.


Michael and I were on the way

in loving Time,

the grey men cannot watch.


It was a decision within my decision,

although it was not finally given.


Within an important mission,

a vision lost it All

while I woke up,

in my left hand morning.


It was peaceful.

It is quiet and silent.


The next day, I would live longer

than my extraordinary profession

was allowed to.


It is simple.

You do not take a closer look

at people who are not worth, giving.


He laughs, there, in the city, again.

I see it in his sparkling eyes!


The whitest coat is no longer more than white.

I have always loved silver blue candles.

One small bridge

One small bridge


Above all clouds, the moon showed

her eternal face.

It was silent, completely silent,

there, over There.


In a tender moment, I learned

my extraordinary profession,

a balance between new life and insights

of silent spirituality.


My soul, body and mind

did not actually learn a discipline.

It is what I love mostly on earth

between heaven and one reversal silver heart.


The heart is not capable of one connection

to knowledge, wisdom or enlightenment.


My small feet are in harmony.

Woman in elevator


I have been writing

a poem in another language.

It exists in my archive.


She does not live here, anymore.

She waited all the time, for a piece

of chocolate.


I talked to her, on the phone

but she was not There, no more.


She did not even look at me, twice.


Her son got her keys, now.

No one has ever known, her name.

She lives, next to me, by Three Clocks.

State of music


I hear, hear hear a beautiful sound

my mind my heart loves you

by body spirit all so kind.


Hear hear, whisper whisper

silently soft songs, slow and fast

by written hands, all so merry.


Love love listen and laugh,

blue red purple, rose and yellow;

your whitest hair do fall

in my hands, poetry that lasts

until the evening fell … .


Love and kisses longer than

one easy lover, two behold the day,

and afternoon, warmer in summer I can say!

White harvest

White harvest


It is a good defense to eat,

slippery meat, white and Orange cooked.


It is the oldest harvest by a liquor dance,

but the aggression is feared

by one white young magician.


It is how the darkest coins are laughing

at you, every single moment in the day,

it is one big Holiday!


I am sailing Home,

the Harbour of A’dam

was tailored in fishes and round beer!


I am heading for the Coast, white & grey

arms open wide as people, children and nature

will honestly knock on my doors.

The Religion of The Blue Circle

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