THE RAIN (Surrealistic story)

The rain was pouring down, and I was sitting on an old tree trunk by the bulrushes. It had caught me by surprise. Now looking around, to see if there was a tree which could give me shelter.

There on the horizon, I saw what I was looking for. I picked up my bundle of books, and ran toward the tree.

I saw a frog was jumping by me in the same direction, a sheep came to keep me company too. Then a lion came, and brushed me with his mane. I was not afraid. An antelope jumped out from behind the bushes, and also joined us on the run to the tree. The antelope was not afraid of the lion either. I wondered, what was it that made these animals feel so close to me. A colibri came flying by, master of hummingbirds, and sat on my shoulder. I had not even seen the chimpanzee yet, who was now trying to hold my hand. I let him. A tiger, a snake, a fowl, a donkey and a zebra had joined us too.

We had almost reached the tree when we heard a loud thunder, then lighting struck the tree. Where to go now? The rain was still pouring hard and we were soaking wet.
The lion said; "come I shall lead you to a nearby cave, there we shall find shelter". We all followed the lion. Once inside the cave, we felt relieved having escaped the rain. I turned to the animals, and said; "Why did you all join me, it is so unusual. Normally we humans are afraid of you, and you are afraid of us." The animals came closer, and all of them looked at the books I was holding. "Why are you looking at my books?" I asked, astonished. "Well", said the colibri, " we saw you write whilst you were sitting by the bulrushes, and heard you read the poetry that you had written down, it was enchanting listening to you, you know."

I really felt flattered. To think of it, a colibri telling me this.

I opened my book and read a small piece;

From dusk to dawn
lay in my bed
toes tickling, when I awake
the sun outside is shining bright
I say my little prayer, right
jump out of bed
get shower power
then in to my garden, blooming flower
and this is where I rest and play
where peace surrounds me everywhere
the birds are humming, in the trees
the bees, a honey making team
and all the orchids are my dream...

The door bell rings, my sister's here
"Now come along, let's hug you dear.
I love the time when you are near.
I'll go and brew us lovely tea,
so you and me can sit out here,
and smell the flower power
disperse their spell
on you and me...".

Just while we have that lovely tea...




"What is tea?" I heard them ask.




What a miracle having animals listen to poems I thought, but then one never knows...is all we see, all we really can see? Is all we hear, all we really can hear? What's really real, and what surreal?

TOUCH ME TENDER

I feel your touch in my dreams
I hear your voice so clear
I think you're the one playing
When I hear a saxophone
Or the sound of a guitar
But it's the wind, only the wind ~

Everything about you turns me on
This likeness of you and me turns me on
The banter and tease leaves me at ease
Yes, life could be so easy
...and yes, I know it's complicated ~

I don't want to leave this earth,
~ without touching you,
~ without making love to you,
~ without hearing you, and kissing you,
~ without seeing you smile at me,
not without doing things together with you again ~


My last wish, my only wish
Is a beautiful day and night with you
To be honest,
I would rather it be a lifetime without end
Waking up by your side in the morning light ~

I have one soul with you
Don't hide in the shadow
Come to the light
You, you're all I love and all I need
All I want
Come, make me shine ~

My love for you is immense,
huge,
it's immeasurable,
higher than the highest mountain
and deeper than the sea,
it's like touching all horizons with you
it's so much more than words can say,
touch me baby, touch me ~

If only I could touch your ~heart~ and make it beat faster
For me, only me
I care to be the sun in your life, that brightens every rainy day
I just want to be the one to hold you, when you're cold
The one to soothe you, when your world crashes down on you ~

Because of love, I am giving light ~
... and you are beautiful, in this light ~



Caress me, hold me tender ‘long the night
Tease me, laugh with me ‘long the day ~



Good morning, sparkle in my eyes ~

BOON AND BANE

That first night had so much meaning
Feelings that I truly gave you
When you took me in your arms
And I felt your cuddly warmth
When you held me close to you
I felt safe, like never before

That first night had so much meaning
Tender kisses, skin to skin
Caresses, gentle, full of caring
Looks of true love in our eyes
Oh, that first night was like heaven
Right down here on mother earth

That first night had so much meaning
Morning came, we were still dreaming
And we looked so beautiful
Making breakfast in the kitchen
Your eyes never leaving mine
We were complete, fulfilled inside

That first night had so much meaning
Made me crave much more for you
As your tender kisses showed me
Patience had to reign in me
Wait for when you would be ready
To admit that you were mine

That first night had so much meaning
Softly sleeping in your arms
Holding me like I was treasure
That you wanted all your life
Now it’s only dreams remaining
Sand that's slipping through my fingers

That first night had so much meaning
Tears drops, shining in my eyes
sweetest love my benison
As you gave me peace and freedom
I'm still waiting patiently
One day you will return to me

DAISIES

I can hear your heartbeat
singing to me in a rhythm
that says; "I love you."


I can feel the stroke of your hand
touching my skin, caressing me
physical and equally spiritual


Your sensual kisses
painted all over my body
tattooed your words, in my heart


You became an artist in my exhibition
painted all colours of the rainbow
over me and then on canvas


I welcomed you in to my haven
of sacredness, let you rest
so that my soul could sail in yours


Endless hours of creating
irresistibly engaged in each other
embracing confessions of love


Not just to hear, but to feel,
to see, like a divine revelation
in the minds eye


You painted that masterpiece
of happiness and joy
like no other ever


My memories of you
every morning when I wake
make me smile, make me warm


My thoughts of you go yonder any other
restless waves of sea capture me
I miss you


Will you come and paint this summer
will we dance away the nights
and sleep in the reverence of angels


Bring me a bunch of daisies when you come...

YOUR FAVOURITE BOOK

Read me like your favourite book
hear me like a love-song
let yourself be embraced by my heart
drown in my sensuality
savour in my spirit
enjoy every moment of my laughter
for it can make your heart leap with joy
dance with me until the morning hours
sleep like an angel in my arms
wake up to my sparkling eyes
love me for what I am
for what I give you
comes from the depth of my soul

Take what I give to you
hold it with passion
reap from what I sow
because it is pure happiness
recognize the inner light
which shines in me
and let it enhance every of your days
the nights will be brighter than moonlight
and the stars will sing to you
a beautiful symphony
never to forget its sweet sound
bury it deep in your heart
So that you will always remember my love

UNTIL I SEE YOUR EYES

If I was an angel
I'd fly to you
Through time and space
Through clouds and rain
And hurricanes
I'd spread my silky wings
And fly, fly the skies

I'd fly to you
No matter where
The wind would blow
In heavy storm I would still go
Yet sunlight's shining on my wings
To make me warm inspire things
On this long flight

Through time and space
I travel now
As mother earth turns
Whilst my heart yearns
To end this flight
Be in your arms
And hold you tight

Through clouds and rain
Wings carry me
Yet they are soaked entirely
They slow my flight
To my destination
Thinking of you
Is my gratification .

And hurricanes
Blow my wings dry
From all the rain gone by
I need my strength
To concentrate
Not to be swirled away
To far from where I head

I'll spread my silky wings
Now dry
From hurricane gone by
Now sun is shining
I can see
Here from my flight
Its destiny

And fly, fly the skies
Until my wings touch home
I'm living in a storm
My heart just can't be torn
Away from loving you
You're living in my soul
Until I see your eyes

HOW DO I LOVE THEE

I walk by the ocean
on this gentle soothing night
my dream of you lingers on my mind
the gentle breeze enlacing me
impressions of days and nights gone by

I drink the moons reflection
which lingers on the sea
it soothes my hearts yearning
but patience I abide
for in my soul you do reside

Though now so far away
an ocean us divides
yet I do see you walking
and standing by the sea
as you thus silently think of me

Embraced by something wondrous
not easily extinct
nor vanish the loving moments
those which embrace us close
and never disappear the dreams we behold

"How do I love thee? Do let me count."

Your smile feels like a summers breeze
Your touch like velvet yet off steel
Alights me like a burning flame
Your words so linger on my mind
Your manly voice so sweet and smooth
Your melting gaze or piercing glance
Undoubtedly so full of love
And when we kiss it promises infinitude
Not only this do I desire
I love your words, the ones you write
For there is where we two unite

Unboundedly could we achieve
what many of us do just dream
without it ever being real
yet in compliance we would be
if we would write our poetry

For yes, you do inspire me
in mind and inks conspiracy
undoubtedly you have erupted
my never-ending poetry
as I do hope that you abide with me

No one I've met had what you have
and continuously give to me
gather the words I throw in the air
they talk of love and unity
a gift that I behold for thee
