Mario, Lucien, Rene Odekerken Poems

I've sailed
over many oceans and seas
but one particular sea
i couldn't cross
...

I offer you my hand
straight from the heart

A hand of surrender
...

I want to think about life,
about how beautiful it really is
And not,
about this very sad moment in time
...

Between the years
of existence
one will walk for miles
to find that moment
...

Even now,
you try to hurt me
for a second time around
I tell you, you can't
...

My life
I would like to describe it
as it's the foundation and facade
of my existence
...

Marcherend onder dwang
van de Japanse overheersers
liepen we richting de haven
waar het vrachtschip Taiko Mura
...

Everything is perishable
so is life
for what today is present
could be tomorrow
...
