I love to write poems, and almost all of them are from my own hand.
Maybe in time I will place more, but I haven't been writing much lately.
The ones I have chosen to place here, are for most people and in a lot of situations understandable.
I think that a lot of people might recognize something in them.
A lot of my poems are quite personal. That is why I decided only to place the 'lighter' ones. Each poem is packed in a nice picture :-)

Atlas
This poem I made as a test, when I first started this part of the homepage. Just to see how it would become. It turned out as a sweet little poem with a little joke towards the picture, which is made by my dad in the Royal Palace in Amsterdam. I decided to leave it here (English)

Die mooie kleine dingen
This is a Dutch poem that I wrote in the late summer of '99. Starting to see the sun again after my divorce.

Cherish
A little poem that I wrote for my sunshine (English)

Weten
I wrote this poem in a time of confusion. You think you know, but suddenly you realize you don't know anything... (Dutch)

Ord i sand
A Norwegian poem (writer unknown) which made a lot of impression on me. It's a sad love poem called 'words in the sand'

Sparrow
This poem has a very special meaning to me. I wrote it in august 2003. Later I found out that Simon and Garfunkel had a song called Sparrow. My nick name showed to fit... (English)

Busy
I wrote this one for a friend. He worked so many hours that he completely got lost in his work (English)

Dromen
Written in a time that I didn't believe in dreams anymore, but knew I had to continue (Dutch)

Gedichtjes
A poem about poems: What they can say and mean (Dutch)

Si ikke
Another Norwegian poem from I don't know who has written it. Its about being poor or being rich and dreaming. A truth that stands as a rock!

Present
This poem was standing on my profile on a dating site not long before I closed it down. As the title says: it's about the present :-) (English)

I thank my dad for the pictures that I used with Atlas, Dromen and Busy!
