”What we do in the gap between making the same choice or mistake.
The liminal space between closed and open doors.
we are creating infinity.
And occupy it as if we belong.”
M.P.Yasmine
De zet
De laatste zet.
In het licht van een doorlopen straat.
Onbezonnen gekkigheid.
Met een brede lach.
Is alles wat geschreven staat.
De eerste zet.
M.P.Yasmine
Zij
Verbitterd en boos.
Half of misschien wel heel.
Teneergeslagen en hopeloos.
Wat zou ze nog kunnen leren.
In haar omgeving zo ziek en broos.
Zonder onvoorwaardelijke liefde.
Zij, blootgesteld aan mensen zo meedogenloos.

Rain
“Heavy rain does not fall on your roof only.”

Diamonds
“Diamonds can’t be eaten.
They will tear you apart from the inside.”

Gotthardpas
Cold and thin was the air.
And I felt it filling up my lungs and blowing through my hair.
A soft smile covered my overheated face.
In the far and over all beauty I would gaze.
Suddenly I heard bells ring in the sky.
And a tear fell from my eye.
M.P.Yasmine
Thuisland
Ik dacht even dat ik het Rembrandthuis moet gaan bezoeken om mijn thuisland te kunnen omarmen.
Patat en stroopwafels in Amsterdam moet gaan eten.
Maar toen kwam ik tegen, datgene waar mijn hele ik van doet warmen.
Om de hoek geschreven en uitgestippeld in mijn vaderland.
Een stem, een glimlach meegedreven op de wind naar het zuiden.
Dat tedere gevoel.
Als een vis in water(land).
M.P.Yasmine
Past Life
If you try to call me.
The call will remain unanswered.
And even if we sometimes dream about us meeting each other.
The love will only consume us in our dream state.
We are separated by many light years.
Because you are my lover from a past life.
M.P.Yasmine
Authentic
”In a dysfunctional family,
Being authentic makes you an outcast.”
M.P.Yasmine
Mankind
”When you see mankind.
You see broken people everywhere.”
M.P.Yasmine
Lie
”If you lie to get your way, I’ts not your way you get.
You get the way of the lie.
And a lie is never meant to be.”
M.P.Yasmine
Legacy
”Your legacy as a cycle breaker will change everything.”
M.P.Yasmine
Inception
The breakdown of my dreams.
Inception has arrived.
Support is on its way it seems.
The beginning of an almost everlasting end.
The era of gentle heartbeats.
Where sleep will be my friend.
M.P.Yasmine
You’re safe
”When you move with good intentions.
Grow with love and be compassionate.
The people at the opposite will fall back.
And can’t reach you.
You’re safe.”
M.P.Yasmine
Boundaries
”You don’t have to toughen up and thicken up your skin.
Create boundaries that protect your softness and sensitivity.”
M.P.Yasmine
Shooting Stars
On a hot August summer night.
Not an airplane or satellite in sight.
Time is the only thing that flies.
While watching shooting beams of light.
M.P.Yasmine
What we see
Let’s drive for hours.
Between waterfalls and mountains.
Let beams of our star reach our car.
And smell fields filled with wild flowers.
M.P.Yasmine
The new me
When I think about the old me.
I have a lump in my throat.
A pull on my heart strings.
Sometimes I miss her.
The good laugh, the numbness.
and all that she couldn’t see.
M.P.Yasmine
Mona Lisa
“The story behind the picture to sell, is often not the story the lips will tell.”
M.P.Yasmine
Life
The urge.
The itch.
Scratching layer after layer.
I’m angry and totally sick of it.
Punching the ball of rage.
Blunt, bruised and blackened.
Through healing I’m bleeding.
I cry oceans from grief.
So I can swim my way to freedom.
And one day be weightless.
No urge, no itch.
Featherlight and fly.
Living my life.
M.P.Yasmine
Balance
The sound of life seems out of balance.
It is shallow.
An obscure silence in music.
An absence of existence.
Nothing in everything.
But when the sound of life strikes me.
It is overwhelmingly heavy.
Bright colors in vast darkness.
Tears filling pools as huge as the universe.
Everything in nothing.
M.P.Yasmine
Water
In water you can find me.
My dreams dream gardens with pools.
In different shapes and sometimes empty.
In or around water is the place I’ll be.
In the world of my sleep I often slide down.
Diving, breathing and laughing.
Under water I’ll swim.
And sometimes in my nightmares I drown.
M.P.Yasmine
Us Fools
People discussing and fighting over things they can’t control.
And the Grim reaper is watching us fools.
Ready at any given moment to take our soul.
M.P.Yasmine
Humanity
The process of dying is what makes me living.
Living with unkind humanity.
Death smiles at me.
Like no human does.
M.P.Yasmine
Space
Bruises cover my legs.
I’m bumping into life straight ahead.
Tables and cabinets I do not see standing.
my vessel stumbles in to taking her space.
I even stomped my foot on something stubborn.
It left me purple and doubting.
Reclaiming your space can be scary and hurting.
