Ascension

We climb the mountain together
step by step we go higher
closer to the sun

And as we ascend
our minds, our feet
may lose their grip
and it may look like
we fall deep
back to lower grounds

But we have the fixed
rope of love that secures us
that gives us a hold
We always have
each other’s back

And if we would look
from above
we would see our
upward progress
We would see that
eventually, we’ll reach
the top

Validation

The ego, the mind
seeks validation
It wants to be acknowledged
It wants to have proof
and confirmation
It wants to get
a written and signed ‘I love you’
to have an award,
a title, or Grammy
that says that it is worthy
it is loved and validated

Though the soul knows
true validation
can only be found
within one’s own heart

Why Love Can’t Leave My Poetry

Words come and go
Emotions flow
through my lines
Subjects change
But you and love
are always there
are always present
in my poems

You witness
Love observes
You are woven
into every verse
You are the muse
Love the ink
with which I write
You are the breath
that breathes
each poem alive

Without you,
without love
there wouldn’t
be poetry at all

Not Made For The Shades

She’d like to hide in a corner
so life wouldn’t see her
and could not hurt her no more
But why then keeps
her soul pushing her to go out

Is it love, is it her beloved that keeps
whispering inside not to give up
Simply, because she wasn’t made
for the shades
but she and he are made
for the light?

How The Two Lovers Of True Love Take A Break From Their Earthly Movie

And…. cut!

The two lovers of true love
take a break from their earthly movie
and meet in a higher realm

And he said:
“What is the matter my sexy sweetie?”

She said:
“Well, my cutest cutie,
I don’t feel that sexy anymore
I am exhausted, I am in pain
I want to leave that crazy
earthly movie we are in
I am done with our egos,
with the roles we play
with the crazy story
It all hurts too much, as if it is real

My ego gets triggered by your ego
by what you do and don’t do
as it longs for validation
Can’t we just leave the earthly plain
and stay here forever melted
in each other’s arms”

“I know, my sweetie, I know
we have tough karma,
tough darkness to clear
but we signed up for this
we’re together on a mission
the harder the path is
the brighter our love will shine

Like this, I always hold you
when we’re back on earth again
just close your eyes
to feel my arms around you
how I continue to whisper
sweet words of love
into your heart

Don’t get so much caught up
in the illusion of the movie
don’t think the movie on earth is real
We play our roles
to help each other heal
But we are not our roles, not our egos
we are the actors, the soul behind it

So wipe away your tears, my sweetie
stand tall again
stand strong, stand in love
Remember, we made each other
a promise”

“Okay my cutest cutie,
I must be Superwoman
This all takes extraordinary powers”

“You are, my sweetie,
you are my heaven and earth angel”

“And you, you are my all-realms Superman”

Super Strong In Our Super Love

What Survives

You lie on the ground
like dead
– how many times
have you died
like this –
You lift your head
and look around
everything is
as white as paper
Nothing there
Nothing to see
No words
Are these the wide fields
of loneliness?
Your body aches
You hurt
Did you lose everything
Did you lose yourself
and now you’re nothing but
a heap of pain?

But then,
you go to your heart
you feel your beloved
you sense him
and you know
you still have love
you still have all

Long Distance Thoughts

Long distance thoughts
go far and travel
by the speed of
their longing for the one
they lovingly hold
crossing many miles,
crossing an ocean
in less than the blink of an eye

Long distance feelings
go even further
for they travel
by the speed of love
and then make
any distance short
As short as the distance
from heartbeat to heartbeat

With You

And when you go out today
to do what you need to do
with a trembling heart,
with racing thoughts
When you take the stage,
put yourself out there
and it shakes you,
yet you’re brave and you take
your steps,
Just close your eyes
for a moment
breathe and feel that
I am with you

I Hold You Dear

I hold you so dear
in every breath
in every movement
in the stillness
of the moment

I hold you so dear
in every sound
in every song
in the quietness
of knowing

I hold you so dear
in my poems
in my words
in the depths
of the unsaid

I hold you so dear
in my smiles
in my tears
in the embrace
of not knowing

In all of me
With all of me
I hold you dear,
so dear

Pay It Forward

On this freezing early morning
I ride my bike through the city streets
It’s still half dark, the day
has not yet fully awakened
The drops of an ice cold fog
bite my cheeks

But while my legs battle
their way up the hill
I hear your whisper of love inside
like a gentle caress and then,
I warm up, I brightly smile
A smile, that visibly warms
the hearts of others
that catch its rays
as I pay love forward

Because Love Flows

I step onto the ice
with my skates
and glide smoothly,
making my circles
twirling around
from within
from the heart

Because love flows
it moves me
and makes me dance
poetry
wherever I go

Love and poetry
It is a state of being
A sacred dance
A piece of art
It is a way of life

To Love Without Attachment

I don’t demand anything
I don’t expect you
to meet my needs
as for that,
I’m responsible myself
If you’d like to give,
give it free-hearted

The rose doesn’t demand sunlight
but is grateful for any light
the sun shines upon her
Just as the sun is grateful
to see the rose
blossoming for him

Loving me,
as only you can do,
it means the world,
more than the world,
to me

Wherever We Dance Together

And with my skates
I draw my lines of poetry
on ice
Every word is elegantly
danced for you
A Dutch landscape around me
Mills, little lights
My well known homeland
in which I once made my life’s entry

My heart glows within
I look up
and see the stars above
I see you and me
dancing there together,
drawing our lines of love
between the stars

And then I know
my true homeland
is everywhere
it’s in the galaxy, on earth,
in dreams, in our hearts
wherever I dance with you

Lovable

And she tried to convince him
and the world
that she was kind,
that she was nice
that she was good,
that she was lovable
that she wasn’t bad,
that she wasn’t crazy
But maybe, she didn’t need
to convince anyone
Maybe, she only
needed to convince herself

You Turned On The Light

A still image
in black and white
Frozen in time
But then,
You turn on the light
to make
your colours
visible
And suddenly,
It’s like Spring
sprouts from your chest
and out of Winter’s death
out of the past,
green leaves grow
New melodies arise
And you’re alive again
with me
in the now

One Heart Of Two

All those people
that look and stare
into my eyes
As if they see something
unusual, unknown
Do they want to dip
into the nectar of love
I have for you in my heart
Do they want to look
inside?

As if they see that
it is not just a heart of one
But I have one heart of two

Womb

After a night full of rain
and a scarcity of sleep,
the sun breaks through
Curled up like a fetus
I lie on the couch
The clock ticks like a heartbeat
I let the sun be the womb
around me
that births me back into light

No Stars In The Sky

I look up
rain falls on my face
and washes my tears away
I can’t see the moon tonight
It’s all dark
No stars in the sky
Where are you, my love

The sounds of the city
in the distance
Cars chasing each other
Blended with the sound of rain
My beating heart within
tells me that even when
the stars and moon have gone
you’re never truly far away

Fingertips

May my words touch you
as though they are my fingertips
May they reach deep
as though they are my gaze
May you sense them on
and under your skin
lightly and gently
May you feel them in your heart
as though they make
breathtaking electricity

May my words touch you
as though they are me
