EARTHEN

Earthen, the smell rising
from the ground, after the rain.
I breathe, deeply inhaling
it's freshness
connecting myself
with mother earth,
soft and wet the moss,
tickling my toes.

Desire rises within me,
as the scent takes me on a journey.
My mind starts to see;
the colour of the room,
soft shadows of red and orange
flickering from the candle light,
enlacing us.
Jasmine incense burning,
the bed where we sleep,
we lay entangled as one,
the pouring rain outside,
so soothing, so sensual,
had stopped.
The moonlight throwing shadows
through the lucent silk drapes.
A breeze caressing us,
slightly chilly on our hot skin,
filled with the earthen scent.
I pull up the sheet, and cover us.

I'm still standing bare foot on the soft moss,
slowly disconnecting from the voyage my mind just made.
One with mother earth.
I smile, happy, thankful for being here, and start to dance.

A single odour can take you miles away.

I'LL BE THERE

Life can be full of uncertainty
It's stinging clear to me
Though ,seems to leave me blind
Not able to see reality

Yet, whatever tomorrow brings I'll see
Whatever tomorrow brings I'll be there

Seems to be everyone is so content
Whilst I feel nothing but torment
I drive myself to think
Of yester dreams
With open arms to hold you
And open eyes to see you
But I can't see how much
I let the wheel steer me
To put you in my dream tonight
To linger here with me again
What chance is there
To be, what I dream you to be
Dream how beautiful it could be
For you and for me

There seems to be a way
Everyone seems to get around
So why not me
Oh, pardon me
Oh, pardon me
For being me
While I burst into pain
People smile away
Pardon me, while I burn
I will rise above my agony
I will never be the same
Yet always you remain
In my dream
Sequence of yesterdays
Forever here to stay

My hands, I do stretch out to you
Why then, are you not here with me
If only in my dream
You would not walk away
For when I wake, the dream is gone
Yet, I do feel your presence strong
As if you want to linger on
Your perpetual spirit like a song
Enlaces me, embraces me, so strong
I feel to sleep not before long
So that I can drown myself again
In this whole entity I call
The dream of you and me
Yet, whenever I think that I am free,
You come again, and put your spell on me
I feel the sting of insecurity
Will I chose, water over wine
Thinking that you could be mine
I want to have this dream come true
For me, for you, eternity

Yet, whatever tomorrow brings I'll see
Whatever tomorrow brings I'll be there

I want to feel free like a bird
Come, come meet me, emerge the dream
Lets fly in outer space
Where our stars were made
I will always hold you tight
When you're afraid of heights
My dream is better, than it ever was
I will hold you in perpetuity
Retaining balance of my dream

Only you, make me feel like I do
Yet, you rise with every morning dew
But every night you come so close to me
Your silent touch floats right through me

Yet, whatever tomorrow brings I'll see
Whatever tomorrow brings I'll be there

Forever, sailing in my dream

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
