Katinka Havermans Poems

I feel your pain
Your struggle
It has got to hurt
Deep inside
...

I
I don't
I don't want
I don't want to
...

It is going to be better tomorrow
I keep telling myself that
But my body is aching of sorrow
How can I go on without you?
...

In a world filled with strangers
Sitting next to each other
Without saying a word
Only taking a glimpse at one another
...

Tonight he popped over again
My father
I don't remember what he did or said
My father
...

Golden trees, leaves rustling
Shorter days, colder nights, darkening of days
Autumn has finally arrived
...

I am outside looking at the October colours
The wind is howling around me
The air is crisp and cool, chilly even
The leaves whirl as I stand there
...

My heart is heavy
My soul is aching
My home isn't my home with her in it
It's an empty shell without her beautiful soul
...

And the time came when the people
Had to rely on each other for help
Elderly had to be protected as well as
People who were weaker or had an illness
...

White ships are sailing by
Through blue skies and clouds of white
Hundreds of birds fly
There is light, sunshine
...
