INGE WESDIJK

LAST GRAIN OF SADNESS

Glistening, crystal drops,

like little brilliants,

kissing your cheeks

I'm drawn into your world

of shining sadness

Never

observed so much beauty

in sorrow

You are one of those

timeless paintings

from the old masters

Van Gogh, Rembrandt,

a delicate shadow play

frames you into

a state of perfection

Ssshh..., hush

my comforting

warmth will bring you solace

My ardent love for you

shall dry your tears

You'll forget your

troublesome thoughts

until only a grain

of a salty memory remains

DOWNFALL

Staring out my window,

rain steadily sheds its grief

Same as the weeping in my heart

How could I ever know,

bliss would change in disbelief

Should have ignored you from the start

Slowly you gained my trust,

thought our love would last a hundred years

I gave you everything, gave you all

Your indifference caused a cloudburst

of an everlasting flood of tears

Condemned me to a downcast downfall

DESIRES

Jewelry, exquisite wines,

a home theater, the latest

stylish Gucci boots,

a seaworthy yacht

You asked me what

I would do if I could

buy all I ever desired

My love, my sole wish

is being together with you

into eternity

I simply would buy us

some time
