[the Writing of Kuypers]    [JanetKuypers.com]    [Bio]    [Poems]    [Prose]


Like the Dreams in Your Heart

like the flower
that is laced with thorns
I can cut you

like the white dove
that comes in peace
I fly away

like the dreams in your heart
I can take a hold of you
I can tear you into two
I can make you scream out
like the dreams in your heart

like a cigarette
that is held too long
I will burn your hands

like a mistress
that doesn’t call
I creep in your mind

like the dreams in your heart
I can put you in a trance
I can pull you to your feet
I can take away the pain
like the dreams in your heart

I can make you feel the pain
like the dreams in your heart

like the dreams in your heart
I can take a hold of you
I can tear you into two
I can make you scream out
like the dreams in your heart
I can put you in a trance
I can pull pull you to your feet
I can take away the pain
like the dreams in your heart
