Finding Our Way To The Sun

And I watch the rain fall
It has been raining for days
So many thoughts
So many ‘I miss you’s’
Restrictions and distance
Yet in my heart the love
the connection
We talk all day long
without words

And then rain may
continue to fall
tears may be shed
but free birds like us
can’t be caged
and if grey clouds
hold back the light
we’ll find a way
we’ll just rise above
and fly to the sun

Two Stars

And I see two stars in the sky
They both seem so lonely
with a dark, black gap
between them

But if they shine
as bright as they can
with their light they can touch
each other, they entwine
and any gap,
any dark between them,
dissolves

The Truth Behind The Story

Early in the morning
I cycle through the city
in the rain
and I think of you
miss you
The story of the past
on repeat in my mind
the headlights of cars
shine upon my tears
and let them shimmer
like diamonds
As if each is precious
holding a truth
behind the story
how much we are connected
and behind the pain
how deep, how strong,
how shiny
the love is

Located

Even when on a map
they placed us both
on different continents
they drew an ocean
between us
and depicted it
with a scale
of thousands of miles,
we know that
on the map of our soul
we don’t need to travel
for we’re located
in each other’s heart

What I Want To Listen To

May I lie in your arms
and rest in the sound
of your heartbeat
to know that
I don’t need to close
my eyes to see dreams
for real
And no matter how much noise
the world makes
how loud my thoughts,
my headaches
it’s only your strong heartbeat
I listen to
it’s our calming song, our hopes
I hear

Found

And I walk around in this town
seeing everything anew
through your eyes
the canals, the park, the Dom Tower
reaching out my writer hand,
my heart to you
so you can walk with me here
side by side

And we could go anywhere
and nowhere
Left or right
We could get lost in these streets
Knowing that in each other’s heart
we’re always found

And wherever we go
Even if it seems like
we go round and round and round
On our journey of love
every step, all paths lead home

Floating

And we float in the river
and do not hold on
to any rock no more
our likes, our dislikes
our old ways, our patterns
we just let them go
as we flow together
bonded by the life line
between our hearts
save forever
in the waters of the universe,
the stream of love

Nurturing

I will nurture you with my poems
with words that kiss you gently
on your lips
with a heart, with arms that reach
across the ocean to hold you
and put your heavy head against
my chest
with thoughts that surround
and set you in light and love

What Makes A Poem Beautiful

And sometimes a poem
doesn’t have beautiful words
but the F-word is smashed
into it
screaming with anger with the world
hurt and raw, naked ‘I miss you’s’
stand lonely in the empty spaces
in between
and tears drop from the letters
like waterfalls
But what still makes it beautiful is
it is written with the indelible ink
of love

Tears Will Dry Up

And when I see you
in your world in black and white
and look into your eyes
it’s like I look into a mirror
and see myself
see a well of sadness
All those tears we’ve cried
my love, one day
the well will dry up
and then we’ll only cry
tears of joy together

The Art Of Heaven

The September morning sun
shines brightly on me
and makes my world
a colourful painting
to remind me that even though
nights can be dark,
days can be rainy and grey
and the Dutch summer
has been painfully missing you,
There are magical ways
in which heaven’s light
can do its work,
use its paintbrush
and can shine its art through
