The tradesman

You prayed so hard while we made love

but love did not came from above,

it is a trade, in bed it’s made

as far as you cared anyway then.

.

The moves, the moaning and the end

an arcade of some bodies bent

a violent action following erection.

The Night Shift Of The Mind

~{}~

All that we see in dreams is gone

the moment we awake

The night shift of the mind is done

 .

When we dream, reality is none

and wide awake, forgotten is the dream

But for one moment it may just hang on

.

The colours of the nightmare

Lazy Moments Before Sunrise

~{}~

Love scent surrounds us like  a cover

Sweet and bitter do you taste

Make no fun now, make  no haste

just   again  please be my lover

 .

Scent of sweat and blood and musk

Curtains drop in  our embrace

Torn up sheets and straps of

I Trust Your Love

~{}~

Your hand is a curious stranger on my skin

This teasing finger

 is making a perfect circle on my back

You write your name under my neck

I feel your breath and close my eyes in trust

that you will

A Mirror Is A Liar Too

~{}~

How can I see myself in you

When you reflect my pain but not my soul

Am I to play another part or role

Than to be myself and true?

.

What can reflections really do

But show the outside of the complex whole

And not the depth, the

Obey your body!

My youngest son was returning from California, where he had been for a year as an exchange High School student and I was going to meet him from the plane. After a journey  that had taken me half the day in tropical hot weather,  starting with a

Just another love song

Give me one reason why you should love me

when all that I am is a mess

Tell me why  you are not running  away

or better yet, tell me not, more or less

Tell me not why you should leave me

the whisper shell

~{}~

There was a moment when, together but alone

we stood close to the sea both far away in thought

The whisper shell the waves had brought

I held it to my ear as if it was a phone

and when you saw me doing that,

unwanted guest

~{}~

filled with your absence

the house and I wait

both knowing it is everywhere

 

in the living room it is blocking the telly

and in the bathroom mirror

it is your face not being there

that I see

Image problems

~{}~

I had this image of you
that you painted yourself
that I completed with my imagination
and a golden frame

my fondest memories
of events yet to happen
were in this image
that was supposed to be you

now we have met and at second

the cured invalide

throwing away his crutches

the toddler letting go his father’s hand

the last bird in the nest

that feels better

underneath the mother’s  feather

getting pushed out

rhyming  was my comfy grandma bike

time  now to ride a unicycle

he is in remote control

he is glad if I make a big issue

out of his small matter

longing for nostalgia

~{}~

Remember those days of nostalgia

How we loved flea market treasures

And bread from old bakery’s

What a great time we had

With  rented movies in black and white

Listening to cd’s of old Vera Lynn recordings

And I wore that grandmother’s dress

But the nostalgia is gone

I softly touch his longing ego

And smother it with what I hope is love

in many a gymnastic  pose

But then

just before he explodes into glory

I notice

his nostrils have ingrown hairs

and for a moment I am standing on one leg

This must not go

~{}~

 

 

~{}~

 

The  scent of the ripened fruit you eat

While I am sitting quiet at your feet

And just the whisper of the undertow

This must not go

 

Watching your  fedora out of reach

rolling  away over the empty beach

And just the whisper of… Read full post »

Nature concured this time

~{}~

 

At her age of eighty five

it is a miracle to all

The fact that she is still alive

As  every week she  risks a fall

Thursdays she hangs out of her bedroom window,

to clean the outside of the glass

She has not fallen down yet, good

thank you for leaving me behind

~{}~

 

you took the ferry  without me

and didn’t talk about returning

separation, an indifferent  sea

while my heart just kept  on yearning

 

I couldn’t be with you

and sunshine didn’t  comfort me

the way it used to do

as with you I longed to be

Home to me

~{}~

 

The tired houses leaning side by side

The rusty bicycle you always ride

The fisherman whose ship is work and pride

They all are home to me

 

The sand that’s blowing on the lonely beach

The waves that bring the shore  a  treasure each

The wrinkled  hand that&rsquo… Read full post »

Podagra polka

During a trip to the mainland, that was all about meeting other parents of student exchange kids, we walked a lot, and I got pain in my feet. In one foot, the big toe, the pain stayed overnight, and my foot got swollen and red. A visit… Read full post »

Waltz d'amour

~{}~

 

Shall we give in to long lazy loving

Shall we give in to sun struck romance

Fingertop striking your face and your neck

Shall we dance

Let’s give in, shall we

Shall we give

And never look back

 

Let’s give in to staying in bed

Don't go silently away

~{}~

 

Don’t go silently away

Please let me know

in advance

that it’is  time to silently say

that you go

But promise to be back one day

if you have the chance

 

Silently go when it’s time for our eyes

after they’ve said all their soundless goodbyes

every line

every line in his face she knows well

every spot on his skin is so  dear

as he sleeps

while she reads

as he reads

while she eats

as they go through their daily routine

stumbling through old age and ignoring old pain

so much said

during  soothing silence… Read full post »

The last lover

 

~{}~

http://inaweblogisback.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/hoornsebos_05.jpg

Will you be the last lover

the one to hold me in my hour of fear

will you be the one then

to kiss away the pain and,  if any, a tear

 

The white curtains moved

when the window was open

the breeze from the sea

Little thriller

He pointed his gun in front of him when he smoothly, without a sound, entered the bedroom. There was the body, on the bed. Not a sound was to be heard, outside, nor inside.
He quickly checked the well furnished, yet dated bedroom. Paisley wallpaper, brown… Read full post »
