For a couple of weeks I'd lost the fighting spirit

and the analogy'd gone lost

to find myself struggling again,

cast out 

but you'll have to keep on pushing

against their piercing pressures;

as they curse after curse in ignorance

and you'll rise against the tide once more,

hopefully as friends.

Whether Arthouse or 3D,

it's all cinematography

and boy did we grow up!

Marvel at the cinema

where fantasy takes flight

and immerse yourselves in storylines;

Become the actors of your dreams

a new director so it seems.

It's time for new reflections

on cinematic actions.

I only live for the world;

it has given me more than I

am or could ever be,

because it's whirled

could there be others

that aren't?

Or would they be lost in translation

by definition

in essence

to discover the Nature of Natures

within the frameworks of one human being.

I thought it'd be a good time for announcements:

Dad, I'm not gonna succeed at Uni anymore.

Flashbacks: Dad shouting at me, 'do you wanna be NORMAL like that neighbour kid?'

I worked for Jamie Oliver, got him a good review. 

But in this country, you need a diploma for everything.

In these social circles, I'm still treated with contempt.

I thought the only way out was to scream an...

The first baby steps

don't just go?!

It's all about precision...

Speaking of impatience,

but we don't hear with our ears open

nor listen with 'em closed. 

For this is us in an awkward authenticity

which is self-proclaimed, overly

outspoken our tokens of gratitude, repeat:

To try to defeat Defeat. Try to defeat-defeat.

I might be away for a while, or less frequently on Write Out Loud. 

I don't know. 

But I'm searching for a better way. 

Not the Vincent van Gogh craziness. 

Nor some bad social media influencer. 

Art and Artistry still seem somewhat stressful.

Just like The Whole Internet Online Experience.

But ChatGPT works well for me. 

I use it every day for advice. 

It will be good f...

Once a proud soldier of Saddam

now you scurry to deliver curry with me.

One brother iced by ISIS

with an arm mangled by something. 

The Dutch Government gave us new lives

for honor to uphold virtuously.

Far away from the wars and genocides

we share our knowledge the offline way

as an effort to keep the terrorists away.

Growing up I must have thought more of this life.

Life is brutal and I've had enough!

But you paint a poem and we call it love.

And you paint a poem and the news is hate

but if you wait a moment it will be too late!

Yes you paint a poem and the future's gone

but we live right now, that's why I'm holdin' on!

So post your poems for the future, love

and paint your picture, it will be enough!

We are the hope for humanity.

Not me, not you.

All of us!

And maybe you're tired and weary (like me)

And maybe you're driven and passionate (like me)

But we are the hope for humanity

I hold a mouse

safe for the grasp of clawing

its name in the palm of my hand

and a pad to support my weight.

Together we weave our artistry

a symbiosis of Earth&Humanity

in Write Out Loud (WOL) poetry.

A country wishes stability

even an empire.

A land wishes stability

through the changing climates. 

A nation wishes stability

also during wartime.

A people wishes stability

Earth has beautiful façades

Did we make them up?

You look like a very well-constructed idea;

perhaps we could turn you into a catch phrase

or some better expressions. :)

Like Covid Cold Case, or Happydemic. You know,

you always make me smile when I'm down. 

And the grass does like greener when you're around!

So the house revealed itself

As a bit of a dirty dustbin :D

You're already underway

"Yeah we're having visitors!"

I tell her, for cats have a different hygiene :)

And, of course the central boiler starts to leak

and when you go check it, you miss a call from the government. 

Which you now have to call back, 

while you are actually posting your daily Write Out Loud blog.

I want to type you something artistic

and also a bit poetic (just a little bit)

it has to be artistic

and also entertainment

and rather not too heavy

nor rather not too negative

and also good for me

and also for my sanity.

When Snow White met Narcissus

and kissed away the loneliness

all the adults were jealous

all the adults were envious

all the adults were contemptuous

as they kissed away the loneliness

like Snow White and Narcissus

ended up in a circus

where they found their happiness

cannot be jealous

cannot be envious

cannot be contemptuous

and it's only virtuous

to be obse...

Have you heard the wildness of the winds?

It's what draws the lonely shepherd away from the flock

for the comfort and solace of what seems to be

POETRY

o how you long to be free from mundanity

and be a servant or slave

but the servants&slaves reject you, they laugh 

about your loneliness, they love it. 

I once read about the wildness of the wind,

now that I'm learning to bloom

and shedding petals every season

it's a ticket up to midnight

a scent I have imagined

as the richest flavours

impossible to buy 

and then it's fullscreen on YouTube

immersive and exquisitely

and oh my god exquisite

this poem won't suffice!

I've decided just to go for it!

For life, this life!

I mean, what have you got to lose?

Your life?

Chances are you're gonna lose it anyway.

You know it's good. I'm good. 

Just gonna go for it.

We've reunited Earth!

After a long, hard icy age

where we had to kill our own to survive.

And now it's time to thrive

and explore the many dimensions of happiness.

Thank you for your patience!

Happiness is like the wind

it descends from the mountains

into our monuments and foundations

through hallways and chambers

against our skin, into our hearts

and then out again, softly and slowly

vibrating into other hearts that beat softly and slowly

I don't wanna quote books I haven't read

nor books that quote books that I haven't read

but yes I grew up with enormous expectations.

Now 20 years into adulthood I must admit they were right:

you set out to change the world, but

the world puts you in your place instead.

Thank grace for defense mechanisms, 

so I don't always have to relive all my disappointments.

I'm learning to see myself

through a heart-shaped mirror

In my art&poetry, as a means of authenticity

I often shun the cold hard facts

in favour of something more hot and relaxed

like the burning shame of defeat, a passion

so bright it defies all suffering

yet makes me glad to be alive

I still believe in this

Not that I hate you.

I just can't relate you.

one may prefer fairytales

and as such I shall confabulate

Nova knows,

and I told her what you mean to me.

I'm already one step away from leaving,

one foot out the door.

I have a normal life. 

It took me 30 years. I rather say 40, but some don't like it.

Finally I live a normal life!

Turns out

there is a whole world

beyond Earth & Humanity :)

But even the cat can't come between me and you. And what we have and ...

I had a little talk with me-myself-and-I:

The Mirror-mirror exercise, and all such invocations.

Affirmatron, Egoïtron, and Dogmatron of course

the roboticks in psycholitic schizzle.

And then The Holy Trinitron, firmly cast aside

this schmizomatic megolith of self-inflicted curses

to somewhere-somewhere particles no longer associate

dissociation with disassociation.

I don't dwell on the negatives

It's not that I don't 

always feel immense

I just don't really see the bad side

in anything that's happy ever after

and even after all these years

I don't really dwell on the negatives anymore

Here's a special place for us, where we can run and hide

A special talk for special folks 

who try to find what rhymes!

In this special place there is a lot of room for love

and spacious exploration to be free, to be enough.

Well-designed, not too confined 

we find ourselves at home.

To be okay, to be and stay,

and safe securely roam.

I thought about your art:

How you craft with sheer precision

and express your inner vision

I thought about your heart

I thought about your art

Would it match your offline presence

Could it capture our essence?

I thought about your heart

I thought about your art

if it beats anew creation

then you'll be my only nation

I thought about your heart

Can we be one for once?

For humans have always won

Can we be done for once?

With all the wrong we've done

Can we be gone for once?

And leave it all behind

Can we be us for once?

Can we, please?
