WISH

  

I wish we met

When we were two

At pre-school age

Both me and you

 

That we could play

When we would meet

No adult games

No chance to cheat

 

That we would be

Okay with this

And might exchange

A little kiss

 

Or just hold hands

And smile a bit

But heaven no

May God forbid

 

We’re grownups now

And this is wrong

Whatever’s there

Does not belong

 

I wish we met

When we were two

Not three or four

Just me and you


Something new

 

 

There has come a feeling between me and you

Once a whisper is now a roar

It started off as nothing more

Than meeting someone new

 

Rarely comes the music that writes itself

Silence gone in water’s fall

Thoughts swimming in an ocean tide

That ebbs and swells

 

Time to reveal the wings that brought you here

Are you thinking of me

In your life to be, your partner

Can I say the things that make you sigh

Make you say “impossible”

 

As I look around

It seems so perfect here

 

Didn’t you know it would come to this

And I’d be waiting

 

But a circle began

And it was then

You decided where it is

You will have been

 

All I am is you

And I wish I’d been here before

Your color glows

Like the lights of home




Elke dag


Denken aan jou doe ik niet

Op één dag in het jaar

Geprikt op een kalender

Als een verplicht gebaar

 

Ik hou altijd van jou

In vreugde of verdriet

In ruzie of in vrede

Iets anders kan ik niet

 

Ik draag jou altijd bij me

En koester elk moment

Dat ik nu met je heb

Of eerder heb gekend

 

Ik hou altijd van jou

En zeg het nog een keer

Net als gisteren

En morgenvroeg weer

 

Elke dag en niet

Alleen op Valentijn

Want elke dag zou best wel eens

De laatste kunnen zijn



Zonk

I’m way past bent, all fawked up

A matter of tick tock before I biff

 

My day was a backward K

Thank you, Captain Obvious

For dropping that on me

Vital 411, dude

 

Now tanked, and fitshaced

I aught to be audi, I know

But can I stick around

And sink my Titanic

Watching her birrrds?

 

Wow, nice ride

Want crackers with that?

What the dealy here?

 

Whip!

 

Why are you taking me home?

 

I need more zeltoids

 

... zonk



The non-arcane science of living

  

I rid my secrets

And feel my pain

 

A rude awakening

From fog to rain

 

A stabbing hurt

I start to peel

 

The drops disclose

Things I conceal

 

The sticky sentence

Washed away

 

By cool water

Tiding dismay

 

Flooding the abyss

Of stolen Childhood

 

To carry my ark

To livelihood

 

Stilling the cries

Quelling the guilt

 

Cleansing the soil

None of it spilt

 

I rid my secrets

Let it rain

 

‘Till skies turn clear

 

And life

 

Non-arcane
