Mariam de Haan Poems

I'm changing.
Yes I know my face is the same
So is my name
And I'm still only partially sane,
...

My English teacher taught me,
How the world is sweet
About the songs without a beat.
New places I did meet
...

In this tapestry called life
We often see the strings of sadness,
Forgetting the colours are made of joy.
And the moments that only you and the seamstress know.
...

I'm sorry,
Sorry they call you a misogynist.
You were a feminist before feminism was even a word.
It was you who taught love for every aspect of women
...

The night sky glitters outside the plane window
I would send you a picture
But things like these are only meant for our eyes.
In that night sky the terrorist told the freedom fighter,
...

You never understand the seriousness of a situation
Until you feel the pain.
Until it hits you in the face so you can't run away.
This is for those who joke about it,
...

I look at Paulo Coelho's blog
And I see ten's of thousand's of followers
At each word he writes
He gains ever more fans
...

What angel sits there
Hugging a doll
With tears in her eyes
...

Got a phone call today
They said you passed away
You were fine morning
And just yesterday
...

Captain Owen
Did you find your glory?
The glory you left home for
You should have stayed
