Ina SchrodersZeeders Poems

How can I see myself in you

When you reflect my pain but not my soul
...

Shall we give in to long lazy loving
Shall we give in to sun struck romance
...

A pub full of people and you standing there
drinking your last glass of dark coloured beer
...

you took the ferry without me
and didn’t talk about returning
...

There was a moment when, together but alone
we stood close to the sea both far away in thought
...

you closed your eyes I caressed you
with this music not mine
...

To be so in love that you forget to eat,
that you can only think of your loved one's eyes,
that cold rain feels pleasant to you,
that you don't need sleep yet always dream,
...

The reed stands
caught in a flight
halfway to freedom,
stranded in a swamp,
...

It was over between us, and a thunderstorm came.
Books fell down from the shelf for no reason
like domino stones as the grave stones they were,
and my thoughts went with them below,
...

The air moves from your gesture to the tree
to move a leaf and make it fly away
across the street to land in someone’s tea
before it’s swallowed and the person dies.
...
