Hold On

By Dirk De Bock

I have to say that I feel lucky being able to write such beautiful material. The magic is that when I start writing a new poem, it grows on me. The more I get into this poem, the easier it becomes. Thoughts start coming without even thinking about it. At least thats how it feels, and this feeling is just wonderful.

God is a big inspiration to me, and I know that he believes in me, like I believe in him. Without God, this wouldve never been possible.

Im very happy to be able to share this gift with you all. This is what Ive always wanted to dosharing with the people, giving to the world, making people richer with thoughts and feelings. Let these poems be a treasure and inspiration for us all.

Dirk De Bock

I was born the 4th of January in 1958. I became interested in writing, not just writing, ‘cause writing a book is only one story. I wanted to create, make new stories, over and over again. So I started writing poetry, not just a few lines but in a way nobody else does. A whole page with a whole new story. In a simple manner, poetry for everybody, where one doesn’t need a dictionary to understand, feel and recognize what the poem is about. Everywhere I was, just started writing a few lines on a piece of paper or on a beermat. Sometimes these lines came easy, sometimes it took me many weeks to complete a poem.

24 Hours

Here we have the dawn

where a wake up call is heard

where people clean up their dirt

there’s no soul who isn’t alert

I am the dawn, the break of day

I am the day, gives you more sight

I am the evening, I walk my way

I am the night, without the light

Here we have the day

where love walks a true way

where happy people can stay

there’s no needle in the hay

I am the dawn, with a shining sun

I am the day, that wants to stay

I am the evening, for dance and fun

I am the night, that rolls away

Here we have the evening

where romance gets his chance

where people just want to dance

there’s no evil outside the fence

I am the dawn, who needs to live

I am the day, I don’t want to die

I am the evening, all I want is give

I am the night, that shouldn’t cry

Here we have the night

where darkness talks in fright

where fear comes out of sight

there’s no lamp that gives a light

Wintertime

It’s cooling a bit down

getting more colder too

darkness coming ’round

sunshine is a chilly zoo

the winter is coming on

wind is gonna be strong

and snow covers the land

like a white palace stand

                        Winter is the season

                        filled with snow and ice

                        people have a reason

                        to follow the advice

                        careful on the street

                        watch where you step

                        it looks pretty steep

                        or fall down in depth

            I’m feeling a bit down

            must have a slight cold

            my head turning ’round

            all stories can’t be told

            feeling like a stranger

            not anymore in danger

            crawling on my knees

            my body still disagrees

Noises heard in the yard

white snow falling apart

being swept through the air

the children playing there

thinking rather stay inside

without any foolish pride

show off in what I’m not

certainly I’m not our God

My Little Darling

Oh my little darling

my lovely you are

oh my pretty sunshine

my everything you are

                        No thunder no lightning

                        and nothing more to fear

                        embracing the blue sky

                        that soon will be here

feeling inside a paradise

                        when I’m here with you

                        we’re happy as anyone

                        no more no less we do

            Oh my growing hope

            my future you are

            oh my blessed hour

            my power you are

                        It is good to know

                        that you are there

                        feels grand to show

                        that you’re anywhere

                        spirits of my heart

                        laughs in my dreams

                        touched me so near

                        like forever it seems

Oh my distant future

my prospect you are

oh my loving woman

my lover you
