POETRY

Empire State Manhattan bridge.JPG

A VIEW

TO

(A) KISS

is less (n)ever more ?
let’s write it for New York
let’s fly, stroll, stay on board
this town never feels bored

Alicia and Taylor
singing like sailors
Jay Z and Frankie 🎶,
New York-born-Yankees

what about my song 🎵
for now, New York, so long
bye Big Apple sweetheart,
my iconic postcard ⤵️

for the Washington Street View
this is my rhyme cue
Manhattan movie
your bridge seems so groovy

you hold a surprise
two times as nice
as vintage as vantage
here’s your advantage

We’re melting like ice
for a view twice as nice
For a glimpse without glitch
In the heart of the bridge

So please do not miss
This view to (a) kiss
the Empire State’s
inside the gate

quite the view
inspiring too
a song or two
a bridge to you 🎵

it’s worth the wait
let’s sing, let’s state
keep cool, create
feels good, sounds great

a cue not to miss
this view to a kiss
from movies in gold
on a summit so old

PEACE

OF

MIND

what’s on her mind?
rhymetime
all the time

she feels she rewinds
some time 
upon time

until she can find
some kind 
peace of mind

BE

A

GOOD

SPORT

be a good sport
even when they abort
you building a fort

that should have been more
than a castle or dorm,
outliving the storm

HEARTS

ON

THE

ROCKS

her heart-on-the-rocks
a story that sucks
the life out of mocks

first rock on a heart
a finishing start
for ways to depart

two rocks on a heart
stonecold and smart
but lifted by heart

the next ones too hard
be gentle, please start
by melting some parts

for climbing Goldielocks,
her heart-on-the-rocks
while thornbirds in flocks,

pricks, douchebags, thugs
still cover and block
her road in a lock

where temperatures drop
though ice flowers pop
in hearts-on-the-rocks

NOVEMBER

try to remember
the soul of November
like Axl, so tough,
there can’t be enough
tender in rough

travelling along  
a signature song,
he’s singing so long
as a groom to his bride,
in for the flight

then changing the vibe
in one hell of a ride
on stranger tides
left loving to fight
those missing at night 

was it wrong,
is it right
to spell out that vibe
over and over
the rain of November`

December, 
be tender,
likewise 
like white rain flowing, 
send me some snowing

Image by Simona Todorova

P-INKTOBER

pinktober,
inktober,
painting’s never over
flowers and clovers, 
drove her to draw more

not just in colours…
“I paint with my letters 
but that doesn’t matter
although one sweet colour 
helps to recover

more-over, p-inktober 
is not just for drafters
to open their drawers.
but also for drifters, 
seeking their closure”

drifting, 
uplifting, 
surviving not shifting
and me using ink 
in a book all about this

wishing well 
to the brave, 
stay healthy, 
be safe,
surfing all the 
way

 

to pave every day

through waves

of a play

this month to the next

the years round as text

NEWS

HUNTRESS

my bow;  my book
this vow it took

“my pen’s no arrow,
its aim too narrow 

a story-hunt
should not be blunt 

but like a feather,
surfing weather, 

to all 
that matters”

Image by Tim Marshall

HEART

TO

FACE

heart to face:
it’s hard to face
a heart, a fase 
in harder days

heart of grace
like bridal lace,
a lovely maze
some scarlett glaze,

for better days,
free from haze 
and beats like blaze
in the heat of the race,

unbreak my place
or grant some space
to plant new ways
from heart to face

LADY

GRACE

Just across 

the Lady Grace

lay the yachts 

that lead my ways

crossing seas 

to see their ways

naming names 

to read always

in just a few letters

the Sea Spray matters

in all kinds of weather,

cruisin’ towards better 

finding the port

tie knots  in all coards

for the one 

with the fort

throw the bunches loose

show your hunches truth 

show me how 

to slow us down

shorter nails 

hammocks, sails

not checking mails 

in Spinnaker’s trails

clearer skies 

darker clouds 

five types of buoyage

first timers voyage

sunseeking

fun seeking

fun sea kings,

please come in

all aboard, all aboard,

tie the knots 

in all the cords

there’s a Lady Grace on board

Unbalanced Scales of Justice

ALL

THAT

MATTERS

Written as a token for all who care for justice in a power play gone wrong as the student baptism that leaves no one untouched #justiceforSandaDia
 

classes, 
passes,
mind the 
masses

our traffic mails
if justice fails
let right provail
in all part ways

a stop, a fence
a tele lens
should this enhance
the cancel chance

presidential
innocent y’all
incidental, accidental
precedential

a vlogging knight
seeking right
by shedding light, 
turns into spite

the people say
the people sway
in pure dismay
we are no prey

a boy, a name
reminding day
endured a night
a student’s fright

all that matters
think of a father,
the smile of a son
forever undone

whatever came
no game, so lame
should conquer fame
but sorry, shame

please care and bother
for all fathers, mothers, 
sons and daughters,
are all that matters

TINA'S

WAY

The way she moves

On stage she grooves

Her story

Tells

Get out

Of shells

She paved

The way

For looks

And books

"The brightest star

The highest bar

 

along the scars

you reach by far"

Simply the best

In peace she rests

While living

on,

still giving

songs,

Proud-Mary-

bomb

"So long

Shine on

Your way

will stay

Thank you Tina,

music meaning"

GRATIA

ARTIS

this is
MGM’s and my wish:
don’t miss
Ars Gratia Artis,

what’s at stake,
the ultimate take
give it a break
Art for Art’s sake

the stakes are high,
do we fear or endear A.I. ?
would that door 
stop or just restart the roar ?

state-of-the-art,
let no artificial smart
outsmart artistic reward
let alone the greatest award

do we need
a remedy,
surely no elegy
for the academy

intelligent
or sentiment
let’s not be too negligent 
but elegant

don’t take the cake
what man can make
real nor fake
is art-old-ways

let no AI-space
stop the chase
for manmade ways
to art in grace

FRIENDSHIPS

SAIL

a friendship sails

she feels, she fails

some friendships sail

we feel, we fail

one friendship sailed

I feel, I failed

that ship has sailed

some friends derailed

a friendship failed

she felt she failed

but know

we’re never too low,

never too late

for a clean slate

to reinstate

 a (friend)shipmate

fict or fate,

it’s worth the wait

feel, don't fail

a friendships sail

CAROL

OF

THIS

BELL

to all maestro’s I felt,

your music makes hearts melt

like worldpeace in time bells

my own lives in wishing wells

from walking on egg shells

to what your talent tells

I thank you for seeing me

I thank you for freeing me

from all that’s been haunting me

please keep enchanting me

your justice is flaunting here

you are still enhancing me

 

the carol 

of your bell

might also be mine

Fortune Cookies

FORTUNE

COOKIES

SERVED

Coming up

The final cups

Of twenty two

For me as you

A stormy Newyearseve

Twelve hours to retrieve 

What we all 

must leave

Slightly holding on

To what’s been and gone

Is only human

And nothing less

Then your own quest

Headed East or west

Travel through history

Unravel your mystery

Today leaves yesterday 

So party all the way

Blow away all sorrow

In 365 happy tomorrows 

My Newyears’ wish

Comes with your Partydish

More lucky you’s and me’s

In twenty three to be seen

Don’t come in third

Your Fortune cookie’s served ;-)

I wis

you all a ball

 

more merry Christmases 

& sweet St-Nicolases 

 

still to come

stories undone

 

there’s more to this

where this came from :)

CAGE

OF

FARADAY

One day, 

I left my cage of Faraday

And got struck by lightening,

as shocked as frightening

after Corona & confinement,

deprived from reuniting 

By whom might seem almighty

Locking people tight

Mocking them allright

Blocking their first rights

Expiring what’s not expired

In plain sight, still to hide

Without the slightest might

To fight for primal right 

Enlightening lightening ️

Always try to do

The right thing 

Leave your cage of Faraday

Leave it far away

And make your way

to better days,

Until your cage of Faraday

becomes a stage 

to shine on anyway 

TO

THE

Full Moon

MOON

AND

BACK

To the moon and back, on a new track

let Artemis One be on the right track

To the moon and back, 

beyond our tracks

Mankind flies,

mankind tries

to find new ways -

to better days

Clearer views- 

Smarter news - 

Greater crews 

We write in flight, 

it can ignite,

what we write with fire

should inspire

Lunar Craters

ARTEMIS

ONE

Written on November 16th, 2022, on the morning of the launch

Capsule ignited

The whole world Invited

Back to the moon 

beyond night or noon

Artemis One 

This morning gone

On a mission renewed

A billion reviews

The first of its kind

Replayed to rewind

Twenty six days

In mysterious ways

a test, 

a quest,

as SLS

meets Orion

In lunar orbit

To explore it

No souls on board 

But twenty four 🎥

“Sci Fi” real-time,

Earning this rhyme,

Have a great journey

And thanks for the learning

TRANSLATION

IN

Public Relations

In all kinds of stations 

Public Relations

In all sorts of nations 

Public Relations

Public Relations

throughout education

Public Relations,

through all operations 

formations, creations

In full concentration

Public Relations,

in full preparation,

a solid foundation

throughout generations

though Public Relations 

from fine combinations

and sheer motivation

to cold separations

despite determination

a public relation

got lost in translation,

an extermination

For Your Information,

my Public Relations,

TRUTH

OR

DARE

Far or near

To disappear

Through lack of care

Is hard to bare

There seems to be

no bigger scare,

inspired flair 

was played unfair

Truth or dare,

unmeasured care⤵️

a spare was there

A mare gave her

some stolen ware,

she couldn't share

Hard as soft,

from floor to loft

from shift to shoved

Corporate lived, Corporate loved

fallen through 

the deep end-shaft

Reappear, 

far or near,

somewhere else

Where someone else

takes better care

of their hardware

Who are

aware

of softer ware

As after care

through outerwear

and innercare

never outwear

Mystical Lake

HIDDEN

What is hidden

What’s forbidden

For now

Know how

Pushed aside

They broke a stride

Away to hide

A way to hide,

Blindside

No way to fight 

Who wants to hide

What once shined bright

Thrown off a track 

It went pitch black

Cut some slack 

It will come back

What’s shoved aside

Shows love and pride

And kind of glides

Into what might

Be brandnew light

REQUIEM

FOR

THE

QUEEN

INITIALLY WRITTEN FOR HER MAJESTY'S PLATINUM JUBILEE

What a Queen

Her Majesty
Her Grace
Her Destiny
Embraced

A Platinum Queen
On every screen
Most loyal Royal
For country,
For crown
She never backed down

Out with pomp and circumstance
Let horses dance
And guardsmen glance
Jets cross the sky
In stripes they shall fly
As a feast to the eye

Of tiny princes and princesses
In cute suits and velvet dresses
From palace to pageant
In past and the present
While history’s written
The more we are smitten
With a Queen like no other
All time favourite grandmother

This calls for Hightea
With scones and a brownie
An hors d’oeuvre for Her Corgi
Called Muick and Sandy

For an all time Royal Anniversary
Congratz from across the North Sea

and all our sympathy

for this tremendous loss 

RIP You’re the best, always The Queen
Thy name is on our Royal Contest

and our own future queen

SONG

FOR

OLIVIA

Olivia dear,
You are still near
We never met
But still I feel
I know your feels
They helped me heal

Like so many
Unfortunate
I can relate
To your fate
But still can’t imagine
What you’ve gone through
Your thoughts are yours
Now you’re in ours

Your fought so true
You brought us gold️
And taught that old can still feel new
Like Xanadu

Your win has cost
You’re never lost
Like grace in Grease
It rains stardust
On your catwalk
Of body talk

Sandy, surf sunkissed
You will be missed
Angel Aussie
On every glossy

Bye, so long
My story holds
A favourite song
Or two
Or three
For you
For me

WINS

&

LOSSES

wins and losses

are what the dice tosses

 

random likes

like phantom wings

no more strikes

not even winks

past fly by(e)'s

a loser's blinks

long time, no see

long rhyme, no plea

they live as she

longs for the sea

the line is key

in finding me

 

linger longer

become stronger

long time no see

like you like me

know you know me

know we're alike

and that there's no such thing

as a waiting wing

done are the wingmen,

with the wind they are gone man

the hurt from a gunman

untouchable bully

invisible bullet

nowhere to be seen

what does that mean

is it plain or just mean

what's in a name?

the name of one game

seems rather lame

what's in a like

one lucky strike

unluckylike

some took a hike

now switch on that mic

no need to fake

just a clean break

 

a shot worth to take

make it

never break it

Wreck in the Sea

ATLANTIS

a ship
a wreck
not sunken yet

a dream
in steam
against
the stream

fict. or fact
true blue was hacked
a boat comes back
through blues and black

the ship
caught grip
it sadly slipped
overlooked & madly skipped

a reign
in vain
was less then lame
no lifeboat came

It rained,
it poured
she aimed,
it gained

The Rain
a name
Neptunes new reign

on shore
off shore
has more
in store

grant this wish,
deep water, mist,
wanted, missed
her land, it is

My message in a bottle

never floats full throttle

cruisin's

like snoozin'

and blues in

white blue

Sea land through binoculars

mountains, ports

fountains, forts

A ship called Jade

from land it fades

snooze you loose

Bluebell, bluebell
What do you tell
“Watch me
Enjoy me
Picture me
But don’t step on me”

Smell me, don’t hold me
The sun will unfold me
Don’t take me
Don’t break me
Or the spell
And you won’t ache me
Or dwell”

What do you tell
“Don’t pierce me,
Be gentle not fierce here,
A bear is not a gazelle”

“Stay swell,
Woodies never yell,
Don’t litter
Or sound bitter
And your four leaf clover
Will come over
