In Amsterdam

Memories Poem


Cover Thread
USPA NEWS - In Amsterdam, we used to write down,
Our whispers and dreams by the dawn
Just like we were in Heaven
Just like we were seven
Just like children listening to Anne Frank at that time
Reciting her diaries.
Will you remember Amsterdam´s memories ?
The dances of snow, of light to the songs of rain
Will you remember again
The rainbow colours of that beautiful Amsterdam ?
When I don´t remember maybe who I am
When only the nights of Amsterdam
Stay younger, younger“¦
And we go older, older“¦
Will you still answer my call when I give an order ?
Will you hold me when I am older ?
Having a misty memory in my brain
Will you ? will you hold my pain ?
When I am five years old again
When I am hairless,
When I am homeless,
When I am stateless,
Having only you as a home and state
Will you still hold my little heart
Will you still wait
For me when I am late ?
When I am only five years old again
When I am only tears and pain
When my hippocampus misspells your name
Will you still be the same ?
Will you be sad because I no more can hold you in my arms, honey
Because I have Myopathy, Myasthenia Gravis,
For instance, Osteomalacia,
Osteoporosis, Weakness, Parkinson “˜s disease or any
Will you ? Will you still love to live with me ?
Just like our forties, thirties, just like our twenties
When I am again five, four or even three
Will you still help me escape my fears
Will you still raise your hands to dry my tears ?
Will you still be that faithful lover and friend ?
Will I find you and your hug in the end ?
Just like the beginning, just like we just married
Or you will be waiting when I am buried
Will I still be your wonderful season ?
Or you will leave me for any reason
