Beyond my language

Beyond my language

In the waters,

lines walk to the sea and back.

Sand has rivers

no hands, have the bricks,

the houses or roof,

but circles draw a line

in a country, or land,

or Heaven.

It is beyond

my knowledge,

the level of understanding,

my wisdom does not talk.

It is the deep poetry,

it is the old song

I have been composing

and I know, I am there

in arms of my past tense.

Name of the Rose

Umberto Eco – The Name of the Rose (1980)

In my youth, I remember the nights

when I was reminded, of my state of human.

A young child grows, over and over, even

if her body is not that great by weight.

In my youth, I remember the nights

when the fever got into my body, and soul.

I hardly forget my pain, immense pain

how I got through two or three hours.

I have seen a lot of people, lose it all.

All reasons can be given, except for one

in my family, as a condition of humanity.

All kind(s) of a definition may(be) a name

for misbehaviour and an excuse for disease.

It was a Sunday, evening, late at night.

The same light, after World War II, in

three days, I suppose, I was still alive, yes.

It is his favourite colour, and I know

when I give someone I really do love

my rose of today, tomorrow and yesterday

in my personal and private family way!

Team spirit

Team spirit

The evening was beautiful and

a promise for a wonderful morning.

The mood has been good. Almost excellent.

I can not definitely touch a human heart, by it.

Maybe, 220 of your loverboys, did not see, the light.

But it is not in my job, I travelled the whole world.

After that, the morning brought me

a real good message, another perhaps a hundred

boys had become men! Nice.

In a team, the members do not know

each other by name but in a kind, a sort

of behaviour, I guess.

Especially, when a new child is born.

I am an expert on language, a difference

makes a difference, a day, between angel or angle.

It is the expertise of language, in silence.

I have written it all down on my personal pages.

Before yesterday

He tried, to reach

the sand in the country

but the silver rules

were not respected, I heard.

The rule has not been seen,

when colours are blinded;

not even by one colour.

I was not, on the photograph

of yesterday.

The day before yesterday

arrived namely in the moment,

a minute of a second

underneath the bright darkness,

tomorrow made sure.

Day by dawn

Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans

Day by dawn

Dawn does not arrive

by the silence of drops,

water cannot give.

Dawn does not come

in the Sunshine of rise

and sunset, each evening.

It is no fog, no wind or air.

Dawn was, in a time,

time does not count

on my counter in the office.

Dawn is, every daylight,

a daughter,

a child cannot dream about.

It is the arrival,

deep fog had and has

in my hairs,

when I was alone in the woods.

A tailor’s tale

A tailor’s tale

I have been running on the stage

almost over the borders of water.

I have been touching the highest lights

just, just a piece, a little space under the roof.

The audience has been listening, and watching

my performance with ballet dancers on sweet

soft music, little ears cannot remember to laugh

that way, the dance has been forgotten my day.

The text, the message and words are learned

by the old class of my students, while the teacher

dances in the night, shelters love me by bright light

as slowly, the curtains fall, my evening shadows a candle.

Lack of absence

Lack of absence

I’ve been trying, trying to do

my laundry, but I could not find the soap.

I found out, the soap was not paid, for, yet.

You cannot wash clothes without being paid.

An absence of respect, is a secrecy

because I am selling only, half the truth.

Half a piece of soap, has not worked, already

as I see it, today!

I’ll never forget, how I tried to forget.

Pocket money

I’ve been looking, right and left

behind the back, forward far further away

but I couldn’t find, anything.

My old coat has been torn, pieces

of love, life and clouds, rainy days

are here to come!

The new coat does not guard

my old sweet words, does not touch

my new children, in the way

I walked through my parc,

late at night, to find a new morning.

A silent candle

Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans

A silent candle

I watched your eye

but I could not look, longer.

A silent candle had been

as a gift

and I understand, why.

More candles need attention

because of the idea,

someone else had in mind.

I think, it is not a thought;

more silent responsibility.

Incredible as it seems to be,

it has all taken place,

in a dream, a night

that should never have happened.

Above my ancestors

Above my ancestors

I felt it, I can

not feel a thought.

I served a new insight,

a dedication

I have never believed, in,

by consciousness.

I have deep connections

and trust in those

who do not be a part

in our personal world.

It is worth, living,

to see,

I am able

to write words

above my ancestors.
