The

Pride of the Poet

Posted April 8th, 2012 by Van Bakker


I shall never regret when I feel happy
I sing another melody
To the beauty of being forever in love

Oh my dear I know, I know
That I was not supposed
To dream for what I don't have

But nothing's gonna stop me from saying three times now
That I love you, how I love you, why I love you

-

Say good morning
Even if you just woke up from a nightmare
Even if you don't feel like going anywhere
Why would you let go of your feelings?

But what about you
Do you show them what you see in your mirror?

The Sunflower and the Carmel

Posted May 3rd, 2011 by Van Bakker


Sunflower, why are you so down?
It seems like you lost your crown
Why you cry if you can love again
Don't ever worry about your pain

I am a simple carmel who is not dreaming
Because his muse is weeping
Sunflower, your tears may make you blind
And another love you may never find

Rise and shine, dancing to my song
Let my melody make you feel well
And when your smile is again so strong
You may be happy with this carmel

-

My carmel, thank you for your words
I am now ready to move forward
I don't know how I lost my crown

Lie to the time

Posted March 26th, 2011 by Van Bakker


If I pretend I'm wasting my day
Maybe the sun won't send me away

So lie to the time
Find another rhyme

Then I am sure the moon will come to forgive you

I won't go until you come to me
The day when the sun shines just for me

Lie to time again
Forget all your pain

Maybe you will finally have a dream

Well, I guess it's time for me to say a lie
Disguised as a declaration
Don't believe the words below the last goodbye

And I made a new rhyme
Just so I could like to the time
To be with you

Song of the Winter

Posted February 28th, 2011 by Van Bakker


What will I do now that I don't have the winter?
It may not be long but feels like forever
I donwer why time has to be so slow
This is why I don't let you go

What will be of me while I still don't have her
At least until winter

-

As the season is over
Spring shall take place
And my heart will forever
Look for the same face

Flowers replace the snow
I feel your sweet flow
A new season will begin
The same story goes again

While the time goes on
At each of the new moons
I sent my worries away

The Second Dream of Anna

Posted January 10th, 2011 by Van Bakker


Anna has returned
And again in my dreams she will be so loved
A bright blue day is all that she wants to see
Inside my heart I beat for Anna with me

Anna looks good in red
If I wanted more I'd be going too far
Let's just dance until you forget what I said
And forever you will be my movie star

Year by year our time will go by
And our dreams won't say goodbye
The night will wait for us to pass
So bless my heart with your kiss

Dear Anna, I am all about you
When we just dance cheek to cheek
No one can charm me like you do

The Missing Letter

Posted November 24th, 2010 by Van Bakker


What will ever be of me
If your eyes are those I can't see?
The floating stars high in my sky
Will be nothing without your silver shine

Now what do I need to do
So you won't ever let me go?
I will never get to reach the night sky
If you are not here to make me fly

-

Come with me
So your eyes can see
What is inside my soul

...Oh...

You are the one who makes me strong
And when you really play along
I don't want to let you go

-

I still have in my head
All those sweet things you said

Another Fish in the Sea

Posted October 21st, 2010 by Van Bakker

In the sea I've found a fish
This is the best time to make a wish
So I ask my little friend
Tell me that this day will never end

I am all about her eyes
About her smile, about her love
And I only want her sky

Then the fish said to me
I am sorry but I can't help you
But someday she will get to see
That nobody else will love her too

And I want to feel her lips
Giving those words only to me
Maybe someday we will be...

-

What is really hidden in the end of a rainbow?
What is up with love that we should not know?

Memories of the Sunset

Posted September 30th, 2010 by Van Bakker

Everyday I am worried
About the small little things
I wonder what I may be missing

In the good of the night
There is nobody around me
What will happen if I turn on the lights?

And I will only be myself
For the one who is my sweet
If you don't love you won't get it

Now you will come with me
There's something I think you should see
To have a happy sunset
That you will never forget

What's going on with your eyes?
While you can still see the blue sky?

Weren't you supposed to smile?
I will be like that for a while

The Best Solution

Posted September 19th, 2010 by Van Bakker


Can it be?
Do I have someone just for me?
Her smile is something I can't tell
And her kisses make me feel well

Our dreams will always be like that
Our passion burns like a wild cat
We were just missing one single part
So we got ourselves a broken heart

But we should never push away
Everything we did on this day
Just because we missed one little thing
And ended up without a feeling

Could it be?
Is there something I forgot to see?
I just wanted to be with her
And now we won't have a forever

The rain about we two

Posted September 17th, 2010 by Van Bakker

I am back to my place
Beside your smiling face
Despite the stormy weather
I still dream about her

Now look into my eyes
And tell me what I mean to you
I will never lose the sky
If I can have you too

I am going to a race
Back into my place
Everything is so fast
Before I know it's all past

So will you tell me again
While we go dance with the rain
What did you mean with that 'I love you'?

-

When I woke again
I was wondering
What was happening
With all that pounding blue rain

Why is it fading?
