Solitude

sometimes, time doesn't live up to its promises

and takes me down a road I never wanted to go

I'd give anything, to again experience the sweetness

a love can bring

I know the pain, when it doesn't, stops and is taken away

from you, beyond your control and then it is lost forever

the truth is, once it has died in that way it is hard to find

and almost impossible to retrieve again a chance is only

given once, never twice

so when you do live on into your solitude

memories are those pieces of happiness 

that are left to you, until their silence finds you

yesterdays

 when tomorrow has chosen no longer to be

and the night can't be bothered to show

and all you have is your yesterdays

it's good to know your yesterdays

will always show

(c) JR. 2022

Darkness on the rise

when the winds of time bring change

as a sun darkens in the sky, will tomorrow 

still be there at it's sunrise, or will a darkness 

be there on the rise

 

whatever the reason, I will rise, show my hand

and bring this darkness down into submission

where my strengt and will, again will force

a dark sun, to show it's better and brighter side

again

Beat of a drum

when I hear your song, coming in from so very afar 

it astounds and strikes me, when at the beat of a drum

I can hear the sound of breaking glass, breaking

my heart

Looking

 I'm looking for a woman, nice and sweet between 60-70

does anybody know where she lives if you do, let me know

Tout suite

De Schaamte Voorbij

 als dan de nacht zonder kloppen

de schaamte voorbij binnenvalt

en ik mij alleen nog kan vasthouden

aan het laatste licht

waar ben ik dan

als het duister mij uiteindelijk in zijn wereld

waar het licht verboden is...

Gedichten Compilatie: My Love, Excistence, Loving darkness,Lone wolf, Sunrise.

 My Love

my love's a love for someone I cannot have

my love's a love for someone who doesn't know

I do posses this love I have

and my love's a reality, reality rejects

a realistic yet to me unrealistic reason

causing a pain I do not want to have

but then again it's reality

that keeps me in check

JR. 2022

there's no tomorrow, no yesterday

no daybreak, no incoming night 

there's only you

JR. 2022

Existence

as life has become a stranger to my past

and the road ahead is a friend I never met

why is it, my existence is known to everybodyelse

but not to me

JR. 2022

Loving Darkness

leaning back, reminiscing

what once was

reminiscing all those yesterdays

bright and sad

yes, I love the darkness

looking back, leaning back on my front porch

stars in the sky, I wonder why

why darkness can be so bright

JR. 2022

Lone wolf

as you lost your soul

knowing she'd never be your mate

you will always be that lonely wolf

whose soul was taken

but never found a way to stay

JR. 2022

Sunrise

and you think of those days

filled with a sunrise

you thought would never set

yet, when it did, it never rose again

JR. 2022

My Love

my love was a love for someone I could not have 

my love was a love for someone who didn't know

I did poses this love I had

and my love was a reality, my reality did reject

a realistic yet to me an unrealistic reason, causing a pain

I did not want to have

but then again reality kicked in and kept me in check

There's no tomorrow

no yesterday, no daybreak, no incoming night

there's only you

(c) JR. 2022

When Love's

when love's a whisper in my heart

will it find your spirit waiting

will you let me know you're engaging

will you let me know when it's breathtaking

when love's a whisper in my heart

(c) JR> 2022

Chasing love

stop chasing dreams that will never satisfy

stop chasing the reasons and answers of a lie

stop chasing a love that has no truth to build on

and will never thrive or comply

(c) JR. 2022

A proud man

he stands tall everyday

he never breaks

but his heart goes to pieces everyday

'cause he is a man, a proud man

something he will always be

(c) JR. 2022

My new tomorrow

and when she knows 

love has to be lived to its full 

in all its true colours

her heart will always be mine 

to live in

and she'll be my new tomorrow

a tomorrow I will always need

(c) JR. 2022
