Wednesday Wisdom; Summer Solstice

I'll be seeing you

I’ll be seeing you

In all the memories of old

In all my silly childhood memories

I’ll see you in a daydream

Reminiscing of how it used to be

I’ll hear you telling a funny joke

Laughing the hardest about it

I’ll miss you

Every moment of my life

I’ll miss the time we had

Or even the time we could have had

I’ll miss you

Yes I will miss you so

We will see each other again

Someday in other life time

We all leave our mark on this world

And you sure left one in mine

Ik zal je weer zien

In alle oude herinneringen

In al die malle jeugdherinneringen

Ik zal je weer zien in een dagdroom

Mijmerend over hoe het was

Ik zal je weer horen hoe je een mop verteld

Jijzelf om het hardst lachend

Ik zal je missen

Elk moment van mijn leven

Ik zal de tijd die we hadden missen

Maar meer nog de tijd die we niet meer hadden

Ik zal je zo missen

Ja ik zal je erg missen

We zullen elkaar weer zien

Ooit in een ander leven

We laten allemaal onze stempel achter in dit leven

En jij hebt dat zeker gedaan in dat van mij

Go away

I hate you

I hate you so much

You don't deserve to be here

Or anywhere for that matter

You take away my happiness 

You give pain in return

You hurt the people I love

Go away and never come back

I hate you so much 

You took my dad

Now you want my uncle

Go away stupid cancer

I hate you

It’s that time of year again

I should rejoice really

But I’m sad

Sad because you have gone

You didn’t even say goodbye



I knew it for a couple of days now

It was your time to go

I just didn’t want you to leave

It will be a long time before

I will see you again



I don’t like this time of year

It will be quiet outside

The weather is too warm most times

For my taste anyway

But you know it’s time to go



That must mean a change is on the way

You always know when to go

I hope you will get there safe

And come back safe as well

See you in Spring, sweet birds who make me happy

Fog

The train brings me
Through foggy fields
This morning
It reflects my mood

Autumn is coming
Not for you
You decided to
Clear your fogginess

As much as it was
A shock, I can say
I do know the feeling
You must have had

You felt you had no
Other way out
Than the way out
And all we are left with

Is fog

I wrote this poem in the train on the morning I heard the news about the suicide of the Dutch novelist Joost Zwagerman.

Eternal autumn

                             

I always long for autumn

In the middle of a hot summer day

I long for rain hours on end

With dark ominous skies

And gusty winds

I long for autumn always

From the month of May

Until December

And even though time flies

I can never comprehend

Why the weather can’t adapt to

What’s going on inside

To be like an eternal autumn

An unkindness of ravens

Walking through misty fields

A kestrel screeches in despair

Or so it seems in the distance

An unkindness of ravens circling

Darkness is falling along with the drizzle

The cloud of starlings dances

Nature’s going to take a nap

The army of frogs is ready to take over

When the day is peacefully turning into night

And the voices quiet down

While some sounds still echo on over the lochs

The last skein of geese flies over

Time for the night owls to appear

Words

And then the day came

She regretted the words spoken

Or maybe left unsaid

Words spoken in anger

Left her feeling sad

Harmful and hurtful things

Leave a scar forever

And because, when it happens

Time and again

The word sorry

Is just an empty one

I

       I

            I
         I don't
      I don't want
    I don't want to
  I don't want to be
I don't want to be strong
       All the time
I feel so helpless and alone
  I feel so helpless and
    I feel so helpless
      I feel so
         I feel
            I



The Weight of the World


I feel as if
The weight of the world
Is resting
On my shoulders
I feel like
There's a stone
On the pit
Of my stomach
I would give
Anything
Not to feel
Those feelings
Over
And over
And over
Again

Forlorn

The storm isn’t only outside

But inside me as well

I don’t know why

But I feel torn

It’s been a long time

You have to move on

I want you to have joy

In your golden years

Betrayal is coming to mind

It’s not I know

But why does my brain make it so

Why do I constantly think of him

You’re moving on

After all this time it’s logical

But why do I feel

So miserably forlorn
