To loneliness
The loneliness inside me,
that reigns as a tomb
and the moon burning on my tongue,
ignorant and all-knowing he laughs
the years passed, the gate-keeper
of my night, what happened
with your countenance?

"I am enjoying your letters, these lines stuck out to me "from the eyeless abyss, wide as the night my hollow eternity splintered in the heat of the animal, rise and break, uneducated force" Great piece of writing here…" -

About Me
Hi, I'm a guy from Holland. I started writing poetry about 5 years ago, to express my feelings and thoughts, to revail what lives inside me. I had already written short stories by means of therapy, discovered that prose didn't cover my wishes, and slowly I switch to poetry. i enjoy to write form-poetry, the Celtic poem-forms, free verse, haiku. 'till now I have 2 small self-published booklets by lulu.com, and a few poems are published into an international magazine. Never really content with my poems, I keep learning new ways of imagery, forms etc.
My life: after an crappy childhood I had several jobs, worked into stores, working places, ships, behind a packet-machine, in gardens, followed a course in highschool, currently studying for assitant-vet. I lives with two cats, love nature, science, languages, history, Chinese martial arts, playing chess.
