Day 2280, midnight sun.

Day's pictures, Poetry

I wrote this poem in 2007 when it was still new to me that the sun never sets in the summer or that it gets dark where I live.

It’s light

the night hijacked

the clock stopped

life doesn’t begin any more

the end is gone

only my stomach

my eyelids

announce to me

that time

goes forwards

en is not

stopped

Day 1789, dilute.

Daily picture, pictures

We often have to climb high

and far

away from our pride

~

before we can vent

whats burning

inside

~

and it can help

to stand straight

because appearance

dilutes

Day 1041, The bridge.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1041-1.jpg

The bridges end is near

the other side seems to be behind

*

I stop and look down

reflection is what I find

*

time streams

but looks frozen

*

far in the reflection

I see myself

*

as I was

without depth.

Day 1031, the unknown.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1031-1.jpg

A roadblock forms

Day 1029, tweet.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1029-1.jpg

You wonder

why some see it as straight

what you see as crooked

is there no answer

or more than one

I guess at least I do reflect

while some just roar shout out, and tweet

Day 1028, why I am here.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1028-1.jpg

A mountaintop

the clouds disappeared

looking down

grey rocks merge with green

the valley seems to be

void of life

maybe that’s

why I am here

Day 1027, remorse.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1027-1.jpg

Symmetry of thoughts

when a lie evolves

a past dissolves

Nochrisis


 

Symmetrie van gedachten
wanneer een leugen evolueert
een verleden op lost
wat overblijft, verspreidt
verdroogde wroeging

Day 1021, on my carpet.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1021-1.jpg

A comfortable sitting down

legs crossed, the mind wondering

a slight draft, a window is open

the eyes close, light still seeps trough

it slowly darkens, and I get lighter

the floor falls away, pressures dissolve

I fly away, sitting on my carpet

Nochrisis

Day 1020, dividing space.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1020-1.jpg

Thoughts originate

spread out equally

from a middle

neutral origin

where they go

hitting the light

shattering apart

dividing space

Day 1017, barren soil.

Day's pictures, Poetry, Society

Day 1017-1.jpg

Fallen in to barren soil, all that your fingers ever touched.

The world is not there for you, you are nothing.

Not worth the time to prepare for, a meal.

Our morals? Our duty? We all come from barren soil.

Nochrisis
