Pretty lips;
           bound,
           together,
           forever,
           we are.
it is one of the things—
that can make you feel alive,
it is also one of the things—
that can take your heart lives.

The more concretely

you tell a story, the less --


you'll be understood.
"Diary 1958-1959" (2006, Frida Vogels), February 12th, 1958 in Amsterdam

Broken-record words,
twirl in the lobes of a brain.
Don’t play again.

These words are for me,
For I'm the one who's hurting,
I'm just healing myself.
I often wonder why we can't understand other's poems sometimes, but deep down it is the one who writes it knows the value of it.
I love him
I tell myself
I know that
We will be together forever
I don’t believe that
We could be separated
My thoughts tell me that
He’s the love of my life
Sometimes my heart lies and says
I could live an eternity
Without him
Like my friends say
“We’re perfect for each other”
And you can’t tell me
He’s not the one.

Now read from bottom to top.

Let me hug you.
Let me console you.
Let me take care of you.

"Are you in pain?"
He loved me with a liquid love
that never weakened, disappeared or vanished
He poured it into me with affection
so deep it felt like the ocean drank me

He loved me with no fences, bars or walls
not for one moment did he waver
His love was more profound than love itself
intense as the touch, of a burning bush

He loved me from above and from below
not even once did I have to walk alone
inside this Universe of spirit and bone

He loved me with Angels at His side  
and with a razor mouth that spoke all truth  
words of connection that only God could whisper
deep in my heart I knew, He was drawing me home    

with His liquid love...
