On the dancefloor

On the dancefloor


It is a foxtrot.

Not a super swing.

Tango could have been,

my first and last examination.


One dance, I’ll never, forget.

16 Years.


Two boys were quarrelling

on the floor, and the third man

stood aside them …


Normally, you ask

the hand of a lady.

Eight ages

[image error]


Photograph I : A certain illustration that has not been, exactly, known


Eight ages


8 Ages, passed along, before

20 decades made one testimony,

easily as I write.


Medium is not a frustrated war

by media, as you name it, but do

not call.


Try to take a step back, instead of

a way by weakness and prove

to stand still.


I learned, by decline of energy

what it, is to give

in silence.

Small paths

Small paths


If you, ever wondered

how a big river rushes

through an old landscape


I can tell you all a miraculous tale.

It is namely based on a very simple and small path.


I have seen people in my country and soul

all kinds of cultures and I can say, it is All the same


what they wished for, in a longer perspective

of life, love, belief, faith, goodness and education.


I have heard a lot of stories and I must admit

that I can not say, it was beautiful or bad, in a context.


I know the way to the miller, close by me, any way.

A coral white lotus

A coral white lotus


It was silent,

everywhere.


All animals were crying.

The people cried with their children,

silently.


The trees lost all of their leaves,

all of a sudden.


She gave me chocolate cherries

for a Christmas poem, one or three

because of her family.

She, who calls me by my name.


I wondered, who ever came up with

this whole idea.

And I know, one of them,

all thought it was too funny,

for words of sadness.


All stories disappeared,

the movies and books

weren’t there, anymore.

It was all gone.


It became history,

forever, as I wished.


She leaves the chair,

closes the curtains in silence

and hears no sound,

no more.


Tomorrow, there will be another day

with a lot of joyful birds.

She bows her head, for once,

does not look back


and thinks about

one evening in her life,

the candle lost the flame.


She, who wrote by one candle

in every evening daylight.

Ping Pong


A new phenomenon

has been developed,

by the researchers of all

our (international) governments.


It is a nice pleasure game,

for children, to pass away

their own lost photograph.


Whenever you’ve lost,

your conscience,

God is there.


Unbelievable.

Repair kit


My father is an electrician.

He learned me, how to repair

a broken light without repair kit.


You should try,

to cycle to Santiago

without a repair kit.

10.000 Miles

The Pretenders – 2000 Miles


You see, you say

20 or 30 numbers missing,

are missing.


What do you call a number?

How do you, all, write one letter.


I say, 2000 numbers are less,

a thousand, or two.


I learned it at school,

I know how the teacher was called.

8 Years, I suppose, or eight.


It is All

about the respect

towards a woman,

isn’t it.


But now,

I am back.


I am back

on the chain gang!

Highest priority

[image error]

Highest priority


I feel

I could feel it.


What would be

the highest priority.


One choice between a 1000 standards

is biggest towards greatest. I had to.


Highest priority gives me

all the small houses & autumn lights,

I believed to be connected

in my 2 hands.


A priority is a word, 8 or eight letters.

A letter was a word, a second ago.

Why me

[image error]


Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans, Tilburg


Why me


I think, my mother

should have doubted,

if she knew.


Before the day, I was born,

it was All structured,

in my bones.


I have asked more

than one human

can ask in one life.


I often had to leave

my emotions, thoughts

and wishes

for a better future.


I would show, that

tomorrow dies after yesterday.

1 Blue note

1 Blue note


You’d say

I am part

of your perception.

I do not want to.


You would think

to get a right

into my light of heart,

in that area,

literature is the very same

as poetry.


Somehow, I am not exactly

disappointed in my value

towards human language.


It only bothers me,

now and then.

The Religion of The Blue Circle

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