Finding Salvation

He wrote a piece about himself
Perhaps the most honest and vulnerable
he had ever written
His courageous heart naked under the open sky
He dropped his ego masks
Didn’t hide his pain in sarcasm or
jokes no more
But let all his light shine on the dark
parts of his past
To find salvation in his pure true self
While the arms of true love hold him

Surrendering

And the birds are just birds
they do their bird-like things
they both fly and sing
and don’t ask why
they don’t pretend
or say ‘what if’

They surrender
to the seasons of life
They trust themselves,
the branches
and the wind

To see that all what happens
is a lesson
An opportunity to grow

I surrender to life,
and to you, my love bird
We just do our things,
what we were born for
We both fly and sing
and nest ourselves in love

The Moon Singer

You stand on the moon
in a hilly, bare landscape
with the guitar in your hand
you sing your own songs

Did you fly all the way up,
my astronaut of love
to bring an ode to the universe
as the brightest star
among the stars

Serenade me your heart
And I will fly to you
I just close my eyes,
I count to three
to let my wings of love
take me to you

Let us be moon dancers,
earth gazers,
mystery spacers
love makers
in the light glow of the moon

I Read You

I read you like a book, my love
I hear you as a piece of music
And see you as a painting

I hear each vibration in your voice,
read each emotion between the lines,
devour every letter, every tone, every detail
And always see you full coloured

A Song Of Hope

And the bird flew
and made a dive
as he sang a new song
for everyone to hear
The wind spread
the free sounds
of his tender voice
all over the land

It was a song of love
A bright song of hope
With his vulnerable heart,
his breakable wings
he flew strong

He sang of what he had seen
when he had dreamt
above the clouds
about the clear blue skies
that would appear soon

He sang it straight
into the heart
of his beloved
where he let his tunes
make rainbows

The Gift

You gave me a gift
It came as a seed
planted by your eyes
when we first met
and you looked
full of love at me

It needed to grow
It took some time
Before the seed
flowered and reached
its full potential
and I became
all what you had seen
in me
and had sown
and watered
by your eyes

While The Full Moon Gazes At Me

And while the full moon gazes
at me through the window
I think of
how you always gazed at me,
how your beautiful eyes lit up
in the half dark
when they looked for mine
to lock with
And then it’s almost
like it’s not the moon
that watches me
But it is you
who watches me from afar
and hypnotizes me again
with your bright glow

Planet Rose Girl’s World

She is like an alien,
an Alice in Wonderland
that sees the world and its people
every day anew

She smiles and walks in the streets
While she observes
and tries to connect by her heart
with the people she meets

She likes to dance
And to sit by the river
to stare at the water and the clouds
She likes to take pictures
As she sees beauty everywhere around

She doesn’t watch television
or read newspapers
She is not interested in discussions,
in politics, in money or status
as the only thing that matters to her
is your heart

And at night she returns to her planet
Where she sits in silence
Where she dreams,
she loves, meditates
and writes her stories, songs and poetry

You Colour My Sea

In an ocean of millions of drops
You are the only drop for me
that shines brightly among all the others
And colours the whole sea

In a field of hundreds of flowers
You are the only flower
that catches my eyes
And makes my heart bloom

In a sky full of stars
You are the star I gaze at
And wish upon

Jump On My Bike

Jump behind me on my bike, my love
While we ride over the dike
along the river
on this sunny Sunday afternoon
Together we sing
our songs of love
While we fly over the dike
across wide Dutch lands
with the wind behind our wings
and the melodies of the river

She Draws Hearts

And she sits by the river
that flows from the North Sea
straight through her land
and finds its way into Germany
The noise of the water
makes waves in her ears
She breathes the sunlight
A smile on her face
when she thinks of him
and draws hearts
in the sand

Noises

Let the crows caw
And the flies stalk
Let the dogs bark,
show their teeth
Let the bees judge
And let the cows shit
For I have my land
of love
protected by
firm beacons of light

Let the characters
play their scripts
I won’t engage
with all the roles
As I see the soul,
the actor behind

I stand in love
and am the mirror
I reflect all back
When you look into it
Can you then handle yourself?

A Rose Is Always A Rose

I dreamed it was many years later
and I had grown old
I was afraid to show myself to you
As your wild rose had lost
her bright red colour
And her petals didn’t have
the same strength,
But were hanging down
I was afraid you wouldn’t love me no more
You wouldn’t even recognize me
And maybe, even prefer another rose
Shyly I looked at you
But you, beautiful you
You didn’t even see my wrinkles
You only looked in awe
Locked with my eyes once again
And touched base
with the timeless beauty
inside the rose’s heart

The Sun Is Waiting For You

I see you in a bare, black landscape
Among mountains and shadows
Is it the underworld
of sadness and fear?

Create from your heart
And take your paintbrush
Make a few green trees,
some colorful flowers,
a cat by your side and draw birds

Let me be your light in the dark
Come forward in love
Do not wait for the sun
For the sun is waiting for you
On the other side
of the mountains of fear
There is love

A Celebration Of Love

On this Valentine’s day
I could bring you an ode,
sing you a love song,
I could write you a poem
And tell you
in rhyme and words
in melody and colours
How much I love you
Each day even more

But then I realized,
Words wouldn’t have the right depth
Colours wouldn’t have enough brightness
And each melody would be
too mundane

So then I made in my heart
A celebration of our love
Not for you to read,
to hear or to see
But to feel

More Than We Think

What would the moon see
if she looks down from above
Would she see me staring
and thinking of you?
Would she see you staring
and thinking of me?

Would she see how I look up
at her and the stars at night
And see you doing the same?

Would she see those two flames
burning inside our hearts
Two little lights that light up
from the earth
Would she smile as she sees
distance is relative
and we are connected
even more than we think?

A New Story

I have a new story to write
As this one is better,
much better than the old
I will let out all my butterflies
and they will fill each page
with high vibrating love
I will then poetry you into it
together with me
We will dance our blissful lines
The story will rewrite history
And will create a new tomorrow

To Calmer Waters

Follow me to calmer waters
As we sail towards destiny
Have my back, my love
While I hold us steady

I am not afraid no more
to move away
from all that doesn’t serve
my highest good

I am not afraid no more
to be on my own,
to go within
To lead with my heart
And to protect our ship

We are here on open sea
And although there is water all around
In my mind I already see the shore

My Wild Man

There is a wild man in you
that is wild at heart
and has wild dreams

A wild man that does not play
by the rules
but follows his own wild ways

He is led by a fire inside,
the tunes in his heart,
the love he envisions in his songs

A wild man that longs
for his wild rose
and to dance with her,
wild and playful

The Love Letter You Gazed Into My Heart

I showed you every part of me
I wrote you every detail of my heart
As I wanted you to see me,
to read my beauty
And to love me within
and beyond my words

And now I realize, I never needed to
For you always see me even with your eyes closed
You saw my light shining
long before I saw it myself

The love letter you gazed into my heart
When you looked at me
I didn’t dare to open it back then
But now, carefully I read
your words one by one
Each word is full of love

If I only had opened it before
I didn’t need to seek your love
in all the words I wrote to you
As all the time inside my heart
your love letter was stored

The Lines Of Our Hands

I hold your hand
and with my finger
I follow each line
on your palm
Pain that left deep traces
Memories that are carved

I then hold my hand
next to yours
And click the paths,
connect the dots

No more loose ends
and lost ways
As the lines together
show a drawing
and tell a beautiful
story of love
