Martine Kolber Poems

Last night I
Watched you sleeping
Last night I
Saw you were dreaming
...

Dear, dearest,
Friend
Poor, poorest
Heart
...

Words stay silent
If you don’t listen
Words stay violent
Even when you whisper
...

Betrayed son of the night
How many tears you cried
Into the sounds of your cage,
Broken inside by such a furious rage.
...

Old men playing
Did you hear them laugh
I didn’t
...

Did you chose that way alone
Or did they make you do
Did you chose this way for you
Or did they break your bones
...

Slowly
The wind blew out
The fire inside
Of me
...

Lost whispers from far away
Wasn’t it you who wanted to
Stay inside the cold of this old
House that never was a home to
...

I will write it all down
I will cry my pain out
I will make it real
I will bring you down
...

On the way to you
I had a rest at
A hotel without
A name and there
...
