My words might sound to some strange,
or my rhymes maybe rough around the edges.

I only write what I can arrange,
I don’t need to stand on any bridges.

Sometimes I am not in my right state of mind,
all my thoughts are scattered along the ridges.

But other times I glow bright like a star,
or piece of art in its fringes.

No matter how hard you try,
you can’t please people,
even if your words are riches.

What your heart tells you is always right,
so don't ignore your pain and look at the stitches.

Continue to write what’s on your mind,
and don’t stop as long as you’re writing hand itches

I AM CONTENT
YES, I AM HAPPY!

SMILING.

Coming down from a Heighten Emotional Moment.   Deciding I am okay.  A soft Cloud landing I like to say.
Should I be rendered deaf and blind again,
For it would be too late.
I came, I saw, I conquered;
Of the grapes of wrath,
I fermented victory.
Speak of love,
So many hopeless hearts,
With none to give.
Something to dream they'll find,
When they aren't even sure what to look for.
Find it on your own first.
Otherwise, you'll just end up hurting others
Or hurting worse.
Autobiographical
The stork flew today,
High on over the valley;
A beautiful dream
I don't want to write
Got nothing new to say
Everything's alright
I guess it's fine this way

And I don't want to speak
With silence I'm content
With being weird, and weak,
And loud, and save, and spend.

And I don't want to die...
For me, that's quite a first.
I'm not trying to hide
The feelings, grown and nursed.

And I'm feeling secure
Despite the world's ... up
I'm rinsing my face pure
I'm washing my soul pure

till all my nightmares stop


I still don't want to write
just wonder, feel and pray
it stays, because it's right...

I guess

I'm now

okay.

I'm at home, content,

the tea-kettle is singing --


the rain is tapping.
Story "De uitvreter" ("The scrounger", 1911, Nescio), chapter 4

Collection "Rasping ants"
Why I would ever
Knowing it would only
Prove a disaster, & cause only pain.
No sparks to be rekindled,
Only fumes remain of suffocated flames;
As alcohol on water
When all fuel has been spent -
Lamenting the sea

Contentment
Pause
Breathe
Hope
Free
The mind
The load
Slow down
Rewind
Sit back
Intertwine
earn
Your keep
yearn
peace
Contentment
A place
A balance
An emotion

Everyday I’m suffocating,
I’m choking on disappointment.
You really left me here waiting.
Will you ever find contentment?
Where are you now that I need you?
