Understanding

Observing with a clear mind.
Emotionless witnessing.
Is like a place not many visited before you.
Steady, dodging collective pain.
Seeing through humanity.
The humbleness you fall into.
Never to be climbed out of.
Doomed to human kindness.
Compassionate and understanding.
The light in darkness occupied by few.

New theory

James,
Let me take a look as well.
Bring peace to my restless mind.
Let historians and their visions dwell.
A peek at the sky.
Before my big bang will arrive.
One deep view before I die.

Eurotrash

”Once, many years ago.
I was playing online poker and bluffed my way through the game.
One player called me Eurotrash.

Well…”

Connect

You can connect dots.
By looking deeply at yourself.
Sincere.
Heartfelt doing good.
Intentions.
Humble and clear.

Meteor shower

”Watching shooting stars with my son in the middle of the night.
Whispering about them and life.
To me, is life.”

Time

Stars hide on gloomy nights.
Clouds equal time.
Through the hours.
Shining lights.

Eternity

The sound of love has changed.
Its beat lingers in death.
It makes me wonder.
If this is the only love I search for.
Eternity.
Many years from now.
The sound of immortality.
The beat of love waiting for me.

Brain fog

Out of my mind.
Brain fog ahead.
Currently blind.
Many words not being said.

M.P.Yasmine

Empathetic

I can feel your energy from miles away.
It makes me low key dislike a lot of people anyway.
But when I take time understanding.
It is nothing more than pretending.
Pretending ignorance, smiling instead.
Remember myself each day it is a gift or curse that I’m a step ahead.

Crying Madonna

I never believed.
Mother Mary cried worldly blood tears.
Weeping Madonna in the south.
Her eyes were melting.
Because of the hot weather she received.

Speak

”It feels like it’s
Almost
My responsibility to speak out.
Almost
Erased.”

Zomer

Mag ik zijn, de zon van Nederlandse zomerdagen.
Dan laat ik los.
Moederlands zware bagage die ik niet meer wil dragen.
Mijn geschiedenis die ik zal moeten accepteren.
Een kind gevallen tussen wal en schip.
Die houden van heeft moeten leren.

Fathersday

When the evening arrives.
I remember you lived many lives.
Being a present father was not.
I was your most cherished blind spot,
I’m sorry for us Dad.
Let’s blame the time you haven’t had.

Time

For weeks now I’m thinking about buying a new clock.
I want a big one in country style, with the old muffled tick tock.
But when I’m holding a new one in my hands.
I quickly tell myself to put it back with all his anxious demands.

Human Kindness

”And sometimes I can’t imagine being unfriendly like a lot of people are.
But then again.
I can’t imagine what they have to go through.”

M.P.Yasmine

Moral Compass

”A lot of people praising society ethics.
Without having a strong, healthy moral compass.”

Boo

”Mirrors, some can handle many,
Many can’t handle one.”

Mothers

Do not assume all mothers are capable to.
To love children like some mothers do.
It needs a special kind of mother to love all children she meets.
Specially the kind of mother that doesn’t have the mother she needs.
Mothers who connect and care.
Mothers with love to share.

Aunt Rose

With Christmas, birthdays and gatherings,
Rose wasn’t present.
As a child I didn’t understand.
She was sweet the few times she was with us.
But now many years later I understand more than ever.
Why my aunt Rose left the family and chose not to get together.

M.P.Yasmine

To be seen

The recognition we seek usually comes after we die.
And is already present in people who treat us like we are dead.
What a joke, what a bliss.
Never knowing, knowing this.

M.P.Yasmine

Pain

When pain is your muse.
It’s most of the time the only thing you’ll use.
The words come in great deal.
Each sentence written for heartache to heal.

Dream World

the love hate relationship with sleep.
I’d rather run back and forth the high front balcony.
Than lie down crushing my own mind.
Thinking and feeling too deep.

M.P.Yasmine

Trees

We see you.
Teared up and cold.
Burying the hunger for normality beneath you.
With deep going roots you fight.
Between hope and fear.
In worlds plain sight.
Your strength is extremely high.
you lead a moral example.
The people around the globe can not deny.
We see you.
A beautiful forest with deep rooted trees.
Standing ground for the freedom you belong to.

M.P.Yasmine

Tell

Poetry written with my tears.
Words carefully chosen with my childhood fears.
It’s time for this write.
About unhealthy family dynamics and bring them to light.
Breaking the taboo.
Because evil moms exist too.
Now I’ts time.
To tell in words and rhyme.
