Sudden Performance

June 18th, 2010

If you coincidentally happen to be in Vlaardingen and want to avoid the WK…
Come and see me perform at the Vlaardings Logger festival!

It happens to be at the same time that Holland is up against Japan…
But hey…anything can happen. It’s always worth mentioning when I will be taking the stage again.

This quite happened spontaneous.
Lieselot van Luyn will be on the keys
and the lovely Sincere will join me showing an other side of himself.

The Last Poets

June 14th, 2010

Last week I saw a play called “De Laatste Dichters“. Which was inspired by The Last Poets. Christine Otten wrote a book about them and asked MC Theatre to tribute a play.

The Last PoetsThe last Poets

What was really special is that the actual Last Poets attended the event. Although it was all in dutch, they were very much moved, that 40 years later kids from an other country have made a play about them.

The following week I attended a poetry & performance workshop.
This is the poet in me:

Time does not exist
I say Time does not exist
But it does in my daily planner
Where I continuously am reminded
that the days have been passing
and the year is not over
So…
I hear the clock ticking
not slowly, not too fast
It always depends, cause
What is on your mind?!
Thats is why Time does not exist
But situations where as I feel
Time leaning on my shoulders
Chasing me, chasing it, a ghost
I tell you does not exist
Yet haunts me on my way
Where I keep it locked down
on paper, carrying Time,
in my purse.

Letter to U

April 18th, 2010

For all I know
It has been heavy

Forget the bigger picture. I see what is close to me. It was never my intention to ignore whatever U thought I did. Was I too happy. I already said maybe it isn’t for me. Understanding the emotions that once in a while come over, stranding near and I swam in it, apparently. It sweeps away, I know. No need to battle or controle. So that smile U gave me. Was it even authentic, or did U drop it there by accident, where I picked it up, and U lost it on me. This isn’t fair of me now, is it. True, but sometimes I feel the need to conversate, to make sure it was not a mistake…My heart hasn’t been broke for a while now. So just to check and make sure, the intention was pure, coz really I don’t like to doubt. It’s not like I saw it coming, or truely think I deserve it. And I don”t even dare to think if there’s a catch. Is there, though…

Thank you Universe.
