Throughout the years, I’ve written quite a few poems but most of them got lost in time. They are mostly written in Dutch, but you’ll find some in English and even one in French.  These poems are my most inner and fragile thoughts so it has taken me a great deal of time to decide whether or not to publish them. I never write thinking them over, they are no more than a reflection of the state of mind and take just a few minutes to write.

I tend to turn to poetry when overexcited or feeling extremely down or hurt, probably because I have a hard time dealing with these emotions. Many of my poems are not exactly the most cheerful ones you may find. They do however express my deepest feelings and are my way of dealing with my most troublesome thoughts. Due to recent events in my life, I do feel I can no longer keep them inside.  So from this moment on, my hart has no more places to hide.
