I’ll ask my girlfriend if we can go there. Gent is not that far away for us… No promises yet! But it would be cool to see it 1 month before it is available on the market, wouldn’t it?It looks so pretty. I could write it in my binder and everyone at school would be like "What duz that meanz?! Yew are satanik." So fun =’D.[/quote:sqe7kyj7]

Silverfuck [4]I don’t know what is gibberish…
But what I mean is, there are several deeper layers in the poem that go haywire when being translated to English.
This part for example
\"mijn handen zweven over je
lichaamsopeningen als valkuilen\"would be litteraly
\"my hands float over your
body doors like falcon-owls\"which is nicely translated (see them fly, the falcons over the (dead?) body?), but \"valkuilen\" also means \"traps\", like the body has traps where my hands shouldn’t go in… Anyway, hard to explain, I hope I did my best, and made it a joyful experience anyway for you to read.
In Dutch originally, all of them. That last one for example is like this in Dutch:
Droomliefde
je hebt mij gedroomd
ik zag het
ik overwon je eenzame liefde
je probeerde me uit te houden
maar magisch
onzichtbaar en
onaantastbaar overmeesterde ik
je gedachtenmijn handen zweven over je
lichaamsopeningen als valkuilen
je probeert me tegen te houden
maar stijfkoppig
dring ik bij je binnen
met blote handenheb ons lief
To be honest, it’s must stronger in Dutch, but that’s only visible for the Dutchies I’m afraid.
Some people found this one quite \"annoying\" back in the days…
Dreamlove
you dreamed about me
I noticed
and I fight your lonely love
you tried to withstand me
but magical,
almost unnoticed,
and like a king I conquered
your thoughtsmy hands float around you
I opened your falcon body
you tried to stop me
but I entered you
stubborn & strong
barehanded, nakedlove us
Thanks Marcella.
Here’s another one.
Am I right
Or am I wrong
If I say that you think of me
Of someone that you cannot love
Yes you, with your beautiful profile
Is the world too small for us?
Hell, turn around and run
There are many others waiting for youAm I right
Or am I wrong
If I say that you don’t feel sorry
That I send you away in an empty world
You will not cry any tear
For me, it’s clear
Turn around and go away
There are many others longing for youAm I right
Or am I wrong
If I say: you only went cold
When I bored you with my feelings
Damned, I was so wrong
You, who were once my friend & lover
Turn around, and run fast bitch
There are many others so horny for youbut there are still some good songs left out and missing on the Pisces album.[/quote:3qq8w8jf]
I referred to this, silly blueczarina
Last one. More coming, promise, I kinda like to re-read that old poetry I wrote, makes me smile!
Lego girl
oh I wish I had
4 arms
to wrap around you
4 hands
to caress you intense
4 ears
to hear every of your whisper
2 noses
for the wild scent of your hair
2 mouths
well, you know why…oh I wish I was twice
because I’m addicted to youThis is one that I’m kinda proud of. It are 4 poets belonging together.
like water
healing is your voice
I drink
from your hands a drip
many colors stinge me
they pain me like water
and your eyes are deep
troubled like my thoughtsdrunk I am
drownedlike fire
hot is your eye
I swallow
from your hair a scent
many colors steal me
they pain me like fire
and your teases don’t fail
troubled like my thoughtsone thousand degrees I am
burnedlike ice
cold is your memory
I bite
from your heart a piece
many colors caress me
they pain me like ice
and your moves are in vain
troubled like my thoughtsice ice cold I am
frozenlike wood
sealed is your body
I caress
from your head a hatred
many colors strengthen me
they pain me like wood
and thin are your whispers
troubled like my thoughtsI bend, I bend
and splitI think manilla creates cool poetry. It inspired me to search for my little poetry book that I made in 1991, with several poets I wrote in the period 1982 – 1989. (Yes, that many years ago
). They are in Dutch, but I will try giving them a proper English translation.Just a few examples:
Verzet
steeds
uitglijdend
in een cyclus
van slapeloze tijden
is er soms
die verleiding
mijzelf
stil te zetten
om
voortaan
willoos
verder
te
gaanResistance
all the time
slipping
in a cycle of sleepless times
there is sometimes
that temptation
to stop
myself
and
continue
numb
and
without
any

another site got their name from that song too.

Must be HipstersUnited then. But yeah, this site is also linked to Cherub Rock. We are freaks here, either fan-wise or collecting-wise, and it’s the first word of the first song of Siamese Dream, my favourite album. How much more cross-reference do you want? So, 5 years ago I thought SPfreaks would be a pretty cool name…
Back to topic, I was in a long distance relationship also for almost 3 years with an Asian girl I met online, and I was not much into it either at first. But it happened based on some silly jokes that made me laugh, same music taste, few pics and then after about half a year my first visit to her. We had some issues to overcome, personality-wise & culture wise, but we are now living together for a month already. And so far I’m very glad I hold on to this relationship. We had to learn each other by talking instead of having physical contact, so the lusty part couldn’t influence the decisions too much… You get what I mean I guess.

Luna [3] –Funny, I named this site after the first lines of that song…
I don’t want to be a dick, but the "we only use 10% of our brains" is actually, factually, bullshit.
We use all of our brain. Just not all of it at the same time.

"Have you ever heard a doctor say, ". . . But luckily when that bullet entered his skull, it only damaged the 90 percent of his brain he didn’t use"? Of course not."I think in NL we have fast broadband everywhere, because I have none of that issues… However, I do notice it’s slightly slower, this topic, almost un-noticable, but it is. I also think starting a II of this one is a good idea.
