You know that you are very deep in my heart

You know that you are very deep in my heart,
how much I adore you
while in your absence I miss you for long moments
 
and love brings a kind of sorrow
but continually you sneak deeper into my heart.
You know that you are very deep in my heart,
 
my words, my deeds and feelings are no secret
but sometimes my words get few,
while in your absence I miss you for long moments
 
and you are in every thought
and our comfort with each other has been present from the beginning.
You know that you are very deep in my heart,
 
that our love goes much further than just sympathy
that nobody can fabricate such feelings,
while in your absence I miss you for long moments.
 
Everything that I am and want to be you do know
and sometimes you are in every word and sentence.
You know that you are very deep in my heart,
while in your absence I miss you for long moments.

Words sometimes take on a own meaning

Words sometimes take on a own meaning
and sometimes they are sharp and painful
as if there is much more to words
 
as if a kind of secret knowledge hides in them
that are sometimes something moving.
Words sometimes take on a own meaning
 
but somehow words can at times miss things
and are sometimes dependent on feelings
as if there is much more to words
 
when through it all love brings a kind of bonding
and so you and I are attractive to each other.
Words sometimes take on a own meaning
 
and daily a bond develops between us,
while you become more considerable to me,
as if there is much more to words
 
you constantly live in my thoughts,
while love becomes real through words.
Words sometimes take on a own meaning
as if there is much more to words…

Still I find you deeper in my heart

There are times that I wonder how much you do love me
when people want to drive us apart
and still I find you deeper in my heart,
 
even when people fabricate lies,
when they hit, spit and lay accusations.
There are times that I wonder how much you do love me
 
even when there is resistance in every sentence of yours,
even when people bring you to anger by saying things
and still I find you deeper in my heart
 
and I know that nothing can conquer true love,
while I keep to the oath that I have made.
There are times that I wonder how much you do love me
 
and even if my words and deeds as if without affect
when people hide behind hearsay
and still I find you deeper in my heart,
 
as if our love continually starts over again,
when people want to squash everything beautiful between us.
There are times that I wonder how much you do love me
and still I find you deeper in my heart.

The impact of your deeds (limerick)

The impact of your deeds I do know
and it did hit like a hammer blow
but the impact of your words stays,
cutting me day by day
and divorced I still live in its shadow.

Remember me! (limerick)

Remember me!  Remember me!
You wrote, said and would not let me be
and destroyed our love with your paramour,
acted like a cheap whore
and thank God now I am free from thee.

My territory (limerick)

Some thirty centimetres around me
is the territory bordering my body,
so stranger beware when you draw up close
when we wait in lines and rows
or I might hit or knock even spit thee.

Princess of my heart

(after A.G. Visser)
 
If you were the rays of the sun bringing light
and I the darkness that blots out everything to black
we would have met each other at daybreak and sunset,
we would have greeted each other for moments
when the earth turns in its eternal orbit
and you would bring light to my darkness,
if you were the rays of the sun bringing light
and I the darkness that blots out everything to black.
.
If you were the stretched out ocean
and I the sky that goes up to space
we would have constantly touched each other
and at times I would have made your waters my own
and at times your waves would hit threatening
while my breath draws tracks over your surface,
if you were the stretched out ocean
and I the sky that goes up to space
 
If you were the spring that explodes in blossoms
and I the summer that comes with maturity
your lustrous glory would sing of my coming
while insects and birds frolic in pollination
and we both would draw strength from light, rain and dust
and I would be able to bare your fruit from each pretty flower,
if you were the spring that explodes in blossoms
and I the summer that comes with maturity
 
but you are my princess that I adore as my wife
and I am a writer of verses that keeps longing,
if you only knew the depth of my love
you would never be able to forget
and still my love sneaks into you
and brings meaning and maturity to every desire
but you are my princess that I adore as my wife
and I am a writer of verses that keeps longing.
 
 
[Reference: “Princesse Lontaine” by A.G. Visser.]

You are my big eyed woman

You are my big eyed woman, my girl,
in whose heart I find true love
and even if destiny sometimes shakes me,
even if the wild stormy wind blows
 
and even when life wants to devour my humanity
and even if I become blind in my old age
I still find the warmth of your caress,
and continually I am loved by you.

Sometimes I do suspect

Sometimes I do suspect
that our love is much more
than chemical urges in the blood.
Sometimes I do suspect
that life goes on
up to a single event;
Sometimes I do suspect
that our love is much more…

Sometimes your eyes can display your feelings

Sometimes your eyes can display your feelings,
sometimes a moment is balanced in silence,
when something unseen speaks.
Sometimes your eyes can display your feelings
when love accepts the smallest thing as being right,
when we learn deeper things from that, which is unsaid,
Sometimes your eyes can display your feelings,
sometimes a moment is balanced in silence.
