Katinka Havermans Poems

It is a cold, crisp morning
I shiver in my winter coat
I'm looking over the fields
Thinking of the letter you wrote
...

Yes, I'm loud
I know because I have heard
People tell that to me all my life
Perhaps it is insecurity
...

Maybe life isn't about getting through
to another day, day in day out.
Maybe the hurt and pain you're feeling
is just part of your growth
...

Summer
nights are torture
I try to sleep in this
heat bathing in sweaty, damp sheets.
...

What strange creatures people are!
Wanting to live a life on a planet
So green and blue, so full of life,
With animals so majestic.
...

Surely but slowly we're
drifting apart
The rock you promised to be
The one I could lean on
...

Where streams gurgle
Green hills shrouded in mist
Where sparkling lochs
Extend
...

In the morning at the break of dawn
I wake up to see you're gone
I am shocked and in a state of fright
Where did you go in the dead of night
...

The grass is green
The sky is blue
You love me
And I... feel cramped
...

I feel as if
The weight of the world
Is resting
On my shoulders
...
