Ouderlik Huis
by Mario Odekerken

Die trap kraakt nog
soos toe ek klein was.
Elke kamer dra
die asem van herinnering.

Die gordyne hang swaar
van sonlig en stilte.
In die kombuis
staan die tyd stil
tussen die ketel

Past, Present, Future
by Emily Jane Brontë

Tell me, tell me, smiling child,
What the past is like to thee ?
'An Autumn evening soft and mild
With a wind that sighs mournfully.'

Tell me, what is the present hour ?
'A green and flowery spray
Where a young bird sits gathering its power
To mount and fly away.'

My Favourite Colour
by Dorin Saadat

My favourite colour is his brown skin the blue sky
Before me, my childhood stands,
A colonial entwined with anarchic vines-
Maturing realizations.

What is love? An itch to set your house on fire?

What colour are the walls?
Not brown. Not blue.

Beyond the Past
by Aloo Denish Obiero

The past is a lesson, not a prison,
The past is a mentor, not a captor.

The past is a tale, not a jail,
The past is a page, not a cage.

The past is a foundation, not a stagnation,
The past is a phase, not a maze.

The past is a guide, not a slide,

My Past in Peace
by Carl Halling

One day, I’d like to go
In search of my past,

Of the memories
Of a misspent youth;

I cry for my souvenirs,
I dream of a beautiful future,

Where I can atone

Wenn ich zurückdenke
by Mario Odekerken

Wenn ich zurückdenke,
sehe ich dein Lächeln im Abendlicht.
Deine Hand in meiner,
als hätte die Zeit kein Gewicht.
Es war still,
doch nicht leer.
Nur der sanfte Abdruck
dessen,was wir einmal waren.

When I think back to then
by Mario Odekerken

When I think back to then,
I see you smiling in the fading light.
Your hand in mine,
as if time held no weight.
There was silence,
but no emptiness.
Only the gentle imprint
of what we once were.

Als ik terugdenk aan toen
by Mario Odekerken

Als ik terugdenk aan toen,
zie ik je lachen in het schemerlicht.
Je hand in de mijne,
alsof tijd geen gewicht had.
Er was stilte,
maar geen leegte.
Alleen de zachte afdruk
van wat we waren.

Het dorp dat mij baarde
by Mario Odekerken

Het dorp dat mij baarde
had aarde onder de nagels
en stilte tussen de muren.
De wind kende er mijn naam,
voor ik zelf woorden had.

Ik groeide tussen mensen
die niet veel zeiden,
maar alles wisten.
Hun blikken waren vol geschiedenis,
