Guard of light

Guard of light


My father is a bit stubborn,

but not very organised, the last years.


Teachers on school,

tried to say,

rationality is your career,

your future, and mental base.


I have been looking,

not out, not even from,

but to, a simple basement.


In a basement,

usually hardly ever,

light shines.

Happy hour

Happy hour


I am such a lousy student. I am famous, by it.


People, who say, a man does not judge, judge

immediately by condemning that I cannot say

a word, but accepting a distance, after disappointment.


It is a triple mirror.

The reality has been a great result in the way

people do not talk but give projections and suggestions.


You have those simple explanations by maths.

Then, it gets weirder. Fear, all over.

But I had to be sure, my government understands

I am continually holding back, any swimming pool diving.


Well, hey nope, I would say, who cares anyway.

I take an airplane, and will not return, ever again.


Florida, West Palm Beach, USA.

And other cities, at first by nice energy, later

all over the world, in another kind of translating fear.


I knew it directly, my neighbour lives, there.


Right or left. Left and right.


I’ve been living, here in this place, for longer

than five years. But I am eating Chinese food


since twelve years, and longer.

You have to be sure, nowadays.


I did not need a second when I saw

you all standing there, age 16 and 17 years

at Friday afternoon. It is cheaper, I know,


don’t I.


Australia has some special gift shops, of jewelry,

and in the New World, diamonds are the best friend

but I cycle a long way now, took the last corner towards

my home village with the Sun on my back!


When I got Home, I remembered

my parents asked me to bring apple pie.


Cream melts in your mouth, slowly, a minute.

Deep white

[image error]


Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans


Deep white


It is all so beautiful.

The deepest white light

returns her light,

immediately, all of a sudden.


I would say

it is stronger

than I thought

it would be.


There you are then,

a nowhere road

changed in

an everywhere street

based on each day till night.


In darkness, I would exist,

never to give up but giving in,

to the fact,


I have slightly

lost my strength.

A fine accent

[image error]


Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans


A fine accent


I do not look

so very attractive.

I do not show

a modern way.


When I entered

your room, you see, it.

I do not talk

in a sexy language

by silent, smooth rhythms.

As I asked, not to stop,

you would not glance.


I show a story,

in my way

of clothes,

a family tradition.


The accent was hardly noticed.

The small little ones

The small little ones


I have seen the little ones,

on my ground.

I see continually,

the very small birds, turn around,

and come closer.


A bird drinks

when my waters are clean.

They return.


On time, food will be given.

All kinds of species,

on earth,

are touched

in my hands.


Eyes look far,

into a moon and

further than stars and planets

may be,


can you imagine,

a teardrop.

Soft silence

Soft silence


He talked to me.

He talks to me, again,

looks at me.


Slowly, tries to look,

away, comes back.

She listens, as always.


Not to his words.

Conform my dignity

[image error]


Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans


Conform my dignity


It is equal

to nature.

I see the wind

through the leaves

in my trees.


I see new life

of airs above waters.

I feel a smile

on my face and

my body tightens,

stronger and weak,

in one level!


I know my past,

sense the present

and I am happy

for the future!


In my dignity,

I see his statue,

the eyes of my son

and still, I can still feel

his hands rest, on my shoulders.

One special night

[image error]


Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans


One special night


He won’t forget

a night, alone, touched.

Somewhere out there,

he seemed to see her, beauty.


I can’t deny,

I did not see

did not feel,

that night.


Ever since,

a little bit surprised,

I admit, it started

before it began.


The Jews have a longer history

than Sobibór and Auschwitz,

Egypt as regarded as well.


Above one special night,

star has risen

her endless light.

Close wings

[image error]


Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans


Close wings


On the streets

in dark shades

he waits.


No one looked, up.


In his hands,

2 jewels, 1 book

and 3 stones, blue,

white and yellow.

One shadow in his heart

but a smile by his soul.


I know, angels must

have wings to detect

a feeling, a need,

a warm heartbeat.


She is in time

as always.

Your majesty flies

without wings

while relying

on the air of wind!


Two eyes look down on you.

I say, two eyes have a beautiful shape

of silence guard, on you all!

Michael’s name

Michael’s name


I think

I am closer

than I stand.


A sort of distance

has written

new names.


Deeper than in my reflections,

I could not say,

in my tradition.


In the evening light

I see her name

for and behind the window,

I must say, he had

that strange same way.

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