On doit être un romain

Etrange et épuisée
Des vacances normaux
Que tous les autres
Voulaient embrasser

Je ne suis pas unetelle
Mais très différente
Tandis - ingrate - non
Mais une mercurielle

C’est parce qu’une vie
Vécue  différemment
Que je cherche l’histoire
brûlante des drôles bougies

La où on rend visite
Les individus sur place
Sont tous les romains
Et nous les panégyristes

It faut avoir l’empathie
Et surtout compréhension
Sans cela - on n’est rien
Que  futile et imbecile

Folkelige fisk

Sært underlige koralfisk
Med hensyn til sex
De kan være mænd
De kan være damer
De kan starte som et køn
De kan slutte som et andet
De kan have gruppesex
Fisk er specielt særegne
Folk er særegent specielle
De er fisk vi er fæ
Fisk er fæ - fæ er fisk!

St. T

Caribbean with a flair
Of forgotten fairy tales
Some old - slavery rape
And hidden horrific
inhumane humanity
Some new - freedom joy
Somehow it comes
Together in people
And how they treat
Their fellow faulty
Females and males
Because being stranded
For a week on St Thomas
The doubter around Easter
It is gratifyingly grand
To feel that even though
We were the conquerors
For a long while but
We are the ones being
Captured Caribbeanistic
With charm and cool
Curious Conversations
By the Islanders with the
gently gamely generosity.

Where is??

Just like a kiddie's book
I sit on tender hooks
finding nothing what I'm looking for
so take a deep breath
clear the olde head
and search in my mind's eye of yore
the fuzziness clears just
my day is smiling as such
that I find finally the things of lore.

Piet Heins verdenskort og Brande

At Brande nu vil være med
På Det danske verdenskort
Er nok en luftaffære
Og en jantelovs dekort
Man klapper vildt og vidt
Og siger helt jordnært slut
For tårnet som skal op til vejrs
Vil eksplodere - en salut
Så Piet Heins vidunder
Af et syn på denne sag
Er Danmarkskortets natur
Hans fremsyn et ridderslag.

La dernière fois

De temps en temps
On réalise une chose
Que cela la dernière
Fois qu’on suppose
D’avoir l’expérience
De n’importe quoi
Sauf on sait au fond
Dans son âme froid.
Je parle naturellement
Du sentiment d’amour
Des perles d’entendre
L’aimé chauffe le four
De mon vieux cœur
Chaud et aussi fébrile
Mais de sentir encore
Un truc n’est pas débile!

Life-long learning

Living is about learning
learning is about living
as long as you are alive
you should be able to learn

New terms new ideas
older terms new meanings
new ideas - fanciful
or bound in reality - fabulous

Open-minded and curious
a  curious open-mindedness
where ever when ever
just ask away,  read every day

Living is just learning
learning is just living
with that dictum in mind
Seize your opportunity

Nihilism in a nutshell

Nihilistic approach may strike
again and again and again
nothingness isn't worth a dime
if one buys into the dogma
that  life is not valuable!

Les hommes de ma vie

Momo le danois
L’australien aimé
Les pères de mes gosses
Les chers amis adorés
Je vous embrasse
De mon histoire
Les hommes que
J’aime et j’aimais
Mes salutations
Distinguées à vous
Sans vous le parcours
de ma vie n’aurait
Été pas la même
et je m'en doute
que la personne
que je deviendrais
aurait été comme moi
sans vous - sans
nos relations vives
j'aurais été désappointée.

Comparison

When you were a kid
Going to bed was easy
You took off day clothes
And jumped into pjs
Nowadays one has to
Smear the face with cream
Take off clothes add oil
To your hands  bend down
Slither off your compression
Knee highs,a new low -
It wasn’t like that
when you were a kid!

When you were a kid
In the mornings you
Jumped out of bed curious
what the day would bring
Nowadays you dread
Opening the newspaper
Or your tv or your computer
For fear seeing another war
Disaster - natural or otherwise
Rape famine hate crimes
It was less seemingly like that
When you were a kid!
