Things I write usually go through a few revisions, and the oldest have been revised many times. Here's the first 'serious' thing I ever really wrote (don't laugh LOL). It's the version I pretty much settled with in the end. I should have the original around somewhere, and if I can find it I'll post it some time
Quote:
Will I shed ten tears?
Ten tears where there were none before.
One tear, surprised, for love and all that it may bring.
Two tears, reluctantly, in pity of myself, for what I feel.
Three tears, in horror, in self-contempt, for what I am.
Four tears, dreaming, for her and her duress.
Ten tears, where there were none before.
Ten tears have finally been shed.

Allthough most of what I wrote is in English (it's very easy to express yourself in English), some are in Dutch, and there's even one that's partially in French (don't ask :P). Here's one in Dutch.
Quote:
Als ik in mijn wereld zou leven,
zou ik leven in een wereld
die leeg en verlaten zou zijn,
vol met wind en zand,
vol met stroming zonder leven,
vol met schaduwen,
meer schaduwen dan dingen,
schaduwen van mensen die hand in hand lopen met de mijne,
mijn schaduw die heel andere dingen doet dan ikzelf.*

If people like, I'll translate it.
Right now I'm preparing to go on a short two week vacation, and there's a lot to be done. I'll see when I'll find the time to update again. In the meantime, here's a Paint picture of our backyard :P
