Wow. This was beautiful. Your mind is beyond me sometimes. You’re so creative and you have such a fascinating way of putting words together...
And the fact that English isn’t even your first language makes it even more impressive. I can only imagine how beautifully you articulate yourself in your native tongue.
Granted I have been speaking English since I was about 6 years old thanks to the teenage mutant ninja turtles, Flemish still comes more naturally indeed, but almost nobody understands it :p thanks for showing up once more and for being generally kick-ass through out A.!!
Anytime Kobi, also Teenage mutant Ninja turned also was huge for me as a kid. My mom worked at a drive in movie theater and would let me and my older sister’s chill in the car and watch TMNT movie a couple times while she was on her shift.
I was side tracked about TMNT. Lol but Flemish is your native language. I will look into that. Never heard of it. Lol Now I'm curious of the things you say in Flemish.
I actually had to look up what this meant... And once again. Beautiful.
I really love this style of writing. It’s so different from the way a lot of American writing feels... we tend to say exactly what we mean and get straight to the point.
This makes you sit with it for a minute. It doesn’t hand you the meaning... you have to find it yourself.
I love that. I think I want to challenge myself to try writing this way more often.
Late to the party on this one..

This one will be as spokenword over one of my new songs for the new album;
doorheen zeeën van tijd vaarde ik me een baan
baande ik me een weg, heel langzaam aan
en blijf dan staan
verloren gelopen in doolhoven van stroop
als je tijd afkookt
ontstaat een dikke materie
zoete melancholie
kostbare olie
stropers komen van heinde en ver
bosontruiming
noemen ze dat wel eens
want voorwaarts ga ik,
soms door muren van steen
vergetend welke richting
vergetend waarheen
bestemming ondergesteld
aan vooruit gaan, doelloos
maar niet zonder reden
uitzichtloos, maar niet zonder heden
want voorwaarts ga ik
en af en toe,
blijf ik eens staan
