I've sailed
over many oceans and seas
but one particular sea
i couldn't cross
...
I want to think about life,
about how beautiful it really is
And not,
about this very sad moment in time
...
Between the years
of existence
one will walk for miles
to find that moment
...
Even now,
you try to hurt me
for a second time around
I tell you, you can't
...
My life
I would like to describe it
as it's the foundation and facade
of my existence
...
Everything is perishable
so is life
for what today is present
could be tomorrow
...
Life can be hard,
be painful, and cruel
And some things in life
can make you cry like a fool
...
Marcherend onder dwang
van de Japanse overheersers
liepen we richting de haven
waar het vrachtschip Taiko Mura
...
And so on
goes the pandemic,
the covid 19 tragedy
without a medicine to cure
...
Leave me
and save me from falling
save me from you
For the world
...
Door zelfmoord gestorven
in het onvoltooide
van de verleden tijd
was jij Koning noch Keizer
...
In het verdorde radioactieve landschap
dansen vreemde schimmen
een onbekende dans
...
Imagine all the people
unite as one
walking hand in hand
creating a chain
...
The Sea Of Love
I've sailed
over many oceans and seas
but one particular sea
i couldn't cross
it was the sea
who kept me drifting
It was the sea of love
Lieve Opa, je maakt hele leuke gedichten. Waar haal je toch al die fantasie vandaan. Dit vind ik wel erg leuk. Gr Christina
Hello Poet, Wow! I cannot believe what great poetry you write! Amazing! I like each one more than the next. I was completely mesmerized reading your work. You are very talented. Your POETRY skills is great. Sincerely.. Donbukana
Mario, Lucien, Rene Odekerken is an amazing, brilliant, multi-talented well skilled poet of this modern world. He is from Maastricht, Netherlands. His poems carry beauty of his perception for society and readers. He writes poems about beauty, love, nature, life, mathematics, society and on many other topics are really interesting and beautiful. He wonderfully represents sequences of joy, love, grief and other mood of human attitudes in his poetry. He is busy in literary perseverance in spite of his busy life. I am wishing him all the best for his nice poetic journey. May God bring happiness for him and for his family.
The only failure in life is not to try
Life is one big Question mark ? that never will be answerd
Satisfaction is the highest level of happiness and the easiest to reach As long as you don't have too many expectations
God created the universe But it was us humans who through believe created God
A questioning eye is the messenger of desire
when love looks straight into your eyes return those looks and your heart will surrender to feelings never felt before
The tools to repair one's failures are easy to handle as long as they're willing to use them
The words spoken are not always the answer to the problem
When dreams come true reality dies an unnatural death
Greed is too flimsy to flawed
Uncertainty is the fear of not knowing where the road will end
Leaving behind the past is looking forward to the future
Real wealth is feeling sorry for the poor
In our world people live either in heaven or in hell it all depends on the circumstances
Where many talk nothing will happen Where many walk a road will be created
Those who don't feed themselves with food of hope will eventually die of mental starvation
Always behold not only your own smile but also the smile of someone else's joy
Love is manifested at a glance and tells everything without words
Predictions are often too hard to follow Reality is often too hard to bare
For when time runs out there's still hope because sometimes the time stands still
Happiness lies within everybody's hands but is sometimes too heavy to carry
In search of myself i have searched everywhere but unfortunately i haven't found anything
What is the value of light when it no longer shines
Understanding is a matter of time
Something that says a little often says it all
My conscience is my only tool my only gripe in life
laying doesn't say anything about the truth but is still believable
Life isn't always surrounded with beautiful nice smelling roses for sometimes one can only feel the sting of the thorns
To believe in miracles one has to experience a miracle
To believe the world is round one has to make sure that it isn't flat
To believe in God one has to be first sure in which one for there are so many
To feel happy one has to forget how to be unhappy
Accept for who and what you are only than you'll find peace within
Let your thoughts harvest every day the fruits of your desires
To understand the emotions and feelings of others is a great feeling
Satisfaction makes life more pleasant
Satisfaction makes life more enjoyable
Roads often lead to places unknown and inaccessible But the road back will always be apparent
To reach the ultimate goal in life one has to stay at all times with two feet on the ground For one will only stumbles and fall if they wont it all
Appetite for life makes life, live longer
Reflection in the mirror makes reality look at you
The future is the keeper of the memories of the past
Durch das ticken der uhr verschwindet die zeit und werd das haar grau
Yesterday's dust determined today's range of vision
Today's future is Tomorrow's past
The content determines the value
The human brain thinks sometimes too much
To let sorrow go his own way one gives happiness a chance
Sometimes the truth is a visual lie
Gratitude is the respect for what you got
Hello, I am a music student from UK and for our coursework we are asked to compose a song. I really like your poem Hope In Anxious Days and would like to base my vocal piece on it. The purpose of the final work will solely be for my module and nothing else. Please let me know if you'll permit me to do so. Thank you so much!
