Testimonial

Sun fires his light in the sky
when he rises
His rays stretching out like arms
that embrace me
to reassure me of passion
that still burns
between lovers that are on
opposite sites of the world
as he bears witness to
his fiery love for the moon

Higher Ground

The body may suffer
from sickness and ache
The mind may spin around
in frightening thoughts
Emotions may make
big waves inside
But there’s always something
that is above all,
untouched
peaceful on higher ground
– when I connect with you
in love

Love Melts Snow

Winter Wonderland didn’t last long
this morning
for when she turned on her heart
and stoked the fire inside
all snow instantly melted
and underneath green grass appeared
as a soft carpet
for her and her fairy man
to dance their fairy tale into Spring

When My Songbird Wakes Me Up

From a dark place of nightmares
a songbird wakes me up
that sings his joyful song
of a new dawn
underneath my bedroom window

I get up and look outside
the world is covered with snow
Like a new blank page on which
it invites me to write my poetry

And my songbird continues
to sing his song in my heart
until all dark is gone
And as his tunes fill me
with light and love
my poetry starts to write itself
on the page of a new day

When The Ghosts Of The Night Haunt Me

I am so scared at times
When the ghosts of the night
haunt me
and it is between me and God

When I think of all that I’ve lost
To be without a family
To have nothing to hold on to
but the truth in my heart

And then I can only pray
and I pray for the ones that have
hurt and abused me
I pray for myself, my children
and I pray for you, my love, always
I pray for us

I pray the dark, the fear away
until the light within catches me
the angels, God, you catch me
as I pray myself back into trust

The Hole In The Road

Walking my path
my footsteps light
and dancing
as I have my dreams
before my eyes
and you in my heart

And then suddenly
out of nowhere
missing you
is like an unseen hole
in the road
that makes me stumble
and fall

Down to the ground
Into a world of
thoughts,
limitations
and separation

But then love
reaches a hand
and I hear again
the song of union
And I wipe off the dirt
and I rise
with you in my heart

Cycling With Headwind

And when I cycle
through the storm
A strong, cold wind and
heavy rain against my face
water that runs over my skin
my legs that battle
with the brutal force
of the elements
I feel so much alive
and determined
as nothing, no force can beat
a strong heart filled with love

You Can

My heart,
can you read it
Its subtle movements
Its small letters

Its desires,
can you feel them
like big waves
that come
rolling towards you

My heart,
do you get it
even when
it doesn’t make sense

My heart,
you can soothe it
You can light it
You can stir
for you made it love

Adorable

I look at you,
you look at me
from the picture
with eyes that have
the depth of an ocean
A smile that makes
a reflection on my face

I see your innocence
I see the child in you
the purest you
the perfect you
And I could look
for hours
My eyes absorb you
and take you deep within
where love erases words
and makes fountains
and then I just sigh
and swoon

When I Drive

I like to drive long distances
When I am between
departure and arrival
My eyes between
the white stripes on the road
and the white clouds in the sky
When the view is wide and open

‘Cause when I’m nowhere
and there is no set point
but my heart and daydreams
I can be anywhere with you

Dance Of Emotions

Dance the dance
of emotions with me
even if there’s sadness
even if there’s anger
even if there’s fear or pain
Stay present
Full awareness, strong legs,
strong feet
Heart lifted, chest open
Energy in motion
Let it flow
Let it be art
For as long as we hold
each other,
As long as we dance it
we release

Sway The Day

Let’s bring a little sway
to the day
Put your hands on my hips
and let your body
dance along with mine

Hearts come alive
and rock the passion,
rock the love

Words move
from left to right
and sway poetry
across the floor

And even thoughts
can’t stay stagnant
can’t stay stuck
when we sway

Things just look
a little brighter
and more flowing
if we bring
a little sway,
bring some swing
to the day

Hotel

If life on earth is like
a stay in a hotel
and we are the guests
that have checked in,
let us celebrate, dance together,
drink champagne and
make love all night long
in our king and queen size room
before we check out
and leave the temporary
to continue our journey
of infinite love

When Love Speaks

We have our own language
that speaks through
thoughts and feelings
signs and synchronicities
through reminders, dreams,
songs, music and poetry

A language that travels
far and reaches deep
that uses the inner and
outer world,
decibels, energies
electrical signals and frequency,
painting its metaphors
all around us
to transmit the messages
between our hearts

For everything serves
and conspires
when love speaks

Dream

And if the ocean between us
seems yet too big to cross
then embrace me, kiss me, hold me
dance with me in your dreams

And dream as much as you can
day and night, dream far,
dream big, dream deep

Until the dreams become real
and the ocean a surreal dream

The Image

Her family had made a picture of her
They had depicted her in such ugly words
It broke her heart
And she stood next to the picture
and wanted to tell them
that the one in the image wasn’t her
that she has a good heart
that she has beauty inside
but they only fixated on the picture
and didn’t even notice her
So then she decided to distance
herself from the image
and to walk away from
the ones who took the shot

Instead she looked at the image
that her beloved has of her
in his heart

The Undying Light

Have you ever wondered,
these deep emotions
the depth we have for each other
in our hearts
how everything around us changes
and even we are not
who we once were
that time goes by
a lot has happened
and our eyes have not touched
for a while

But still, the love is there
deeply rooted in us
that in fact,
the more we shed our egos
the stronger and deeper
the love grows

Have you ever wondered
about the wonder
how special, how extraordinary
yet so normal and natural to us

Our love that is a love of the soul
it is the undying, eternal light
within us both

Danced Dedication

And somewhere in the ether
beyond the limits of words,
of body, of space
we find each other
I hold you,
you hold me
and we dance together
as we always dance
Each movement is a
dedicated prayer
With every step, every breath
every heartbeat
we honour love,
we honour us

From My Heart To Yours

I dipped my pen
in the golden ink
of my heart and wrote
a Valentine’s letter
I perfumed it with
the sweet scent of love
Adorned it with rose petals
and pressed with lipstick
kisses on it
Then I delivered it
to your heart

So close your eyes
to find it within
Unfold it, smell it and feel it
and read, my love,
read and soak it in

Private

There are things that I don’t speak out loud
Things that don’t see the light of day
and are kept away from words

Things that have their own life,
their own world, their own way
Hidden for the eye, the mouth
and pen

Instead they are exchanged in feelings,
as they flow secretly between our hearts
