The Tao’s Tale

A difference is, in a difference

between a difference, not one difference.

I, who do not follow you, follows you.

A walk is a path between a garden,

not one of all your plastic green tennis courts

or football watches.

A walk is one path in a rose garden

while flowers exist in, at least Hades’ love.

The path between a path is not yet,

a conquest but the language was lost

even though it should be written.

My grandfather is definitely blind.

A plausible synthesis

I, who do not shall

see thou, I heard

bells from our pavement.

I, who do not will

though I have seen

the accent plausible.

I, see although I shall

not dream, the eyes of laughter

are harder than stone!

I, who do not write

I have no name the day,

I shall give silence in a sigh.

All, of you do not know,

thou not shall,

I love in remain of one plausible synthesis.

The lost fathers

I did not make a choice, for you

or because of you.

I have felt, you were there.

I can not, I cannot say,

try to say it, I got silent by you.

Do not mention the silence.

I ask you, then, how much

documents have you read.

I ask you one question

without a point, how much

documents have you seen?

I saw, it was worth, trying,

by the founding fathers.

A clear message

A clear message

I have known, a story, I knew.

I was impressed by the border

without, borders, I must convince.

I have read stories of victory

that would not last as long

as the bridge was written.

I wrote a new story

because of an older story,

I had to do anything

in a certain context.

I have thought about

rhymes & poetry, about

a lot of new visions and memories.

The boat was safe 

in a good harbour,

the oldest story, told me.

In the sea, at nights,

the coast is closer

than I might have been loved.

At long, the least

written poetry was found

and not last, by you!

It is a clear message by a tailor’s tale.

The sensitive structure

I know, I was too old,

to understand.

In my way, continually,

a field of green areas, was covered

by cloudy fog of an immense depth.

The nose is little, my ears are sharp

and still I could not, listen.

I see, you on my fields, 

no wonder why, 

I was too young, for it.

And then, I got a deep breath,

I took it All too seriously.

The invisible waters

I have got a book in my hands,

since ever, days of my youth, last.

I try, I have really tried, to read it,

all pages after page but no white letters,

enlightens the day!

I am sure, it is not found, but perhaps lost.

A wind comes over all pages in the book

because the book is next to a bed.

In the window, new light shines

and I, surprisingly, look back!

Yesterday morning

Yesterday morning

Every letter, I wrote on paper,

will remain the day, you would remember.

I walked and passed small, little flowers

because they bothered me, more than once,

twice.

The narrow path took me complete

without perception, in her face,

she could not see, but did I.

Yesterday, tomorrow morning,

the light was shining so bright

and beautiful, because of a Crystal child!

She, without words

Once, a roof

has a light,

fourteen years older,

then.

Once, a room has a light.

She, without words

has no meaning in time,

for time, for all of you.

One, once a room

has a roof, it had it All.

She, without meaning,

she has no words

in her mind but one roof of a kind!

The dark nights

In a normal world,

I do not feel the need,

to sell your books without

empty words, or kits.

The tree is red and not green.

In an ordinary world,

I do not have to study

how to sell fishes,

without markets.

If you are not in a possession

of money & time.

I was surprised, that night.

You were allowed to carry the keys,

before we parted.

It was a spiral, red and blue at the same Time.

I wiped them off, right fist and left hand;

the two of us, away.

Now, they are peeping on the grounds.

I know how to start a rhyme.

Too heavy glasses

My face has become too ugly, too old.

It all depends on my property not towards the Task.

I go my own way, do I not, shall I not, go my way.

His wavering ears conform all elephants have gots the bones!

I say, when I learned to show discipline by the age of 10 and 11

I carried more than 40, 50 and 60 years old boys, by music & dance!

I listen, listen carefully to your language without any language.

Alcoholism, drug and porn addiction do not belong to corruption.

It depends on what your deserve in the end, at the very very End.

Your age has become my age by your rubbish ways of breaking all rules.

I who do not meet you at all, have lost time, lost the clock and hours.

Selfish egoism belongs to all oceans, I wish you luck, hey, alas, the victory!

Evert Hartman – Het onzichtbare licht,

Hoofdstuk 18, pagina 139,

“Eigenlijk is het net zoiets als aan een kleurenblinde uitleggen

hoe kleuren eruit zien, ging hij verder. Dat is onmogelijk. Toch zal

iemand die kleurenblind is nooit zeggen dat er geen kleuren zijn. 

Hij weet dat ze er wél zijn. Waarom? Omdat iedereen het zégt. Hij 

moet dus geloven wat anderen zeggen. En volgens mij is daar niets

op tegen.”
