Poetry

Day 2423, came across.

Daily picture, Poetry

Today I was thinking
I thought in one direction
till I came across 
a thought coming from the left
and a little later
one on the next lane 
speeding towards me

I thought I still knew what I was thinking
but then another turned around
and I remembered that I didn't

Day 2421, walls of your childhood.

Daily picture, Poetry

When your idols are burned out
and only hang on the walls of your childhood
you can finally look in the mirror
and see someone you want to know

Day 2418, to know.

Daily picture, Poetry
On this picture you see
something you have used
without knowing

this is probably
one of the many things you have used
without knowing

Day 2417, your path.

Daily picture, Poetry

You would think that a straight line is the best
to get from here to there

but once you make a mistake
a slight distraction
a deviation

you will always
pass that place again
on your return
or next year
slightly distracted
the same

Day 2416, open up.

Daily picture, Poetry

Don't forget
ones you're opened up 
and enjoy the view
to look inside

Day 2415, cages.

Daily picture, Poetry

I see different cages
from the inside or outside
every year

every year they change
and also stay the same

Day 2411,something little.

Daily picture, Poetry

There was only one thing 
that I wanted from up there

but I got dizzy looking up
towards that structure 
and declined
to climb it

Day 2406, movement.

Drawings from the bottom of the drawer., Poetry

From day
today I swing
back and forth 
myself and movement
hand in hand

the wind in our hair distracts
so pleasant 
but still 
we don’t know 
from what


Drawing 1998

Day 2405, jump.

Drawings from the bottom of the drawer., Poetry

An enormous mindbuilding
dragging behind your cage

your face lost
your heart arriving

the jump far
the landing there


Drawing by me, 1998

Day 2404, pattern.

Daily picture, Poetry

In nature we see a pattern without order
not only because our nature sees patterns 
but also 
we have little order

Nature stares at you 
when your eyes are to heavy 
it wants to eat you

Day 2402, burden of no sides.

Daily picture, Poetry

Drowning in nuances 
because the only side to pick 
is not playing 
these earthly games

even the clouds gave me no inspiration

Day 2401, reflection.

Daily picture, Haiku, Poetry

between grey skies and the street 
and thoughtful windows

Daily picture, Haiku, Poetry

Your dark tired eyes stared 
from everywhere in the room 
until the lights went

Is this my last stare?
End of my new beginning.
What brings tomorrow?
