Welcome
to my website with my poetry in three languages. Every one of them feels different. Serbian is my 'emotional language' and very appropriate for poetry-to me. Dutch is not my first choice for poetical work; I prefer to use it for formal letters, complaints and analytical essays; occassionally for short stories. I have published three poetry-books in Serbia between 2004-2008. (Serbian/Dutch-bilingual poems)
I have started writing in English in 2009. See "English poetry". It is a good challenge to write in a new language. I am a very intuitive writer and I can't resonate with 'theory-book-poetry' (tips&tricks on how to write poetry) or heart-less, pretentious poems. I have seen quite some characters during numerous book presentations in Serbia....;p There's no rules here in my poetry, just an open heart and mind...My style is simple. I like rhymes...a rhytm.....the feeling of 'yes, this is it!'..... Haiku's are not my thing, but you never know ;p
I mostly write about 'Awakening' and Love. It's quite obvious which poems are Love poetry ;p
This is an example of my 'Awakening' poetry:
**************************************
When in doubt
When in doubt, nowhere to run or hide
on the point of no return, just know that we are the ones
who have the truth on our side
When in doubt, find the Universe within
in the silence that will whisper, there is nothing left to lose
we have everything to win
When in doubt, remember that we all need you
There is no giving up with the voyage at its end
‘cause you may be the one, who makes us all pull through
When in doubt, in a world so dark and cold
take the first step to the future where,
we will finally see the truth unfold
When in doubt, just walk out of the place
that makes you feel this way
this prison is not your home, that is the infinite space
When in doubt, know what you’re feeling is really certainty,
in this world where everything is backwards,
we are not a cosmic accident, we are infinity
on the point of no return, just know that we are the ones
who have the truth on our side
in the silence that will whisper, there is nothing left to lose
we have everything to win
There is no giving up with the voyage at its end
‘cause you may be the one, who makes us all pull through
take the first step to the future where,
we will finally see the truth unfold
that makes you feel this way
this prison is not your home, that is the infinite space
in this world where everything is backwards,
we are not a cosmic accident, we are infinity

I also like to include some humour in my poems, when it feels appropriate...or an unexpected turn in the end....('Between dreams') and......love poetry with passion ;) ('Unbuttoned', 'Your name on me') The poems write themselves, truly.
