In Paradise

Before Coffee

New dawn, the sun rises
Bright light hits the shades
Penetrating the senses
Disturbing peaceful breathing
Waking up from a dream

Sleepy eyes, unwilling to give in
Moody feeling, first encounter
with another new day

Daily rituals and routines,
Imperative for a serene morning.
A soft voice utters the words
“Good morning, my darling”

Dozing in a time lapse between states,
Sensing a presence,
A need to chatter,
“Please don’t”, the look on her face says enough,
Grumpy state of mind

Not before my first coffee…

After Coffee

New dawn, the sun has risen
The smell of crushed roasted beans,
Sprinkled with hot water
Penetrate the nostrils
Wanting the taste of a perfect brew

Grumpy eyes, lighten up
Moody feelings, ebbing away
The first sip on this new day

Browsing through the news
The old fashioned way,
Taking it in,
The hot cup in her hands
Your beauty, the taste of your lips

After first coffee,
Ready for another day…

In paradise.

Carnivorous

Clouds hang above our lives

Once we went about without fear, now

Rolling thunder disturbs the sky

Occupying our minds with what we can’t see

No need to worry, says the fool

All is normal, have no fear…

Voices argue about what is to come…

Ignoring the science, behaving without conscience

Relying on senses, instinctus naturae

Ultimately we have to face the changes, and

Surrender existence to that a new reality…

The Mirror

The mirror

I saw a mirror looking at me,
A clouded reflection
The saddest image ever seen,
Seeking redemption

Barriers

—

Barriers

Whistle a tune for peace,
Break down those barriers,
Instead of building obstacles,
We take them down, those walls
Eventually, piece by piece

A Good Day

A Good Day…

Walking through the narrow streets
The sun peaks through the clouds
We venture into this new place
A first impression, full of joy
Experiencing as always, together
It is a good day…

Small houses and cobble stones
A romantic setting, for a joyful day
We walk hand in hand
A cozy feeling, full of warmth
Small coffee house serving,
It is a good day…

Afternoon chill, a slight breeze
while walking through the street
finding a new destination
Sitting down at a corner cafe
Cool beer served, nuts on the side
It is a good day…

Evening setting in,
A drizzle cannot kill the mood
Diner time, a feast served
Enjoying every detail of this moment, bit by bit
Experiencing as we always do, together
It is a good day…
