She Howls for Him

Ludy Bührs

Dizain
Like a she-wolf she howls saddened for him
because he goes –merely some traces he leaves
– taking the road as life is turning grim.
It hurts inside, the silence she receives.
How silly it seems the way she still believes.
But from her heart she knows, she won’t let go.
Despite his no, the way he told her so,
she also felt how much he sought her warmth.
She looks for him, because a love had grown,
the day they met a flood of feel it formed.

Ludy Bührs

 · Amsterdam

The topics she writes about are very diverse, so are the poetry styles she applies. As a Dutch translator and poet, having lived in Cambodia's capital city Phnom Penh for 2.5 years, in 2008 she published "Op de ruïnes van een rijk" (On the Ruins of an Empire) ISBN 978-90-8834-483-1 with 60 poems based on her experiences there. In 2007 she received a Certificate of Accomplishment as one of The Best Poems and Poets of 2007 issued by poetry.com and the International Library of Poetry for her poem Choked Truth, her own translation of "Verstikte waarheid", one of the poems in the book. Born in 1956, she still works as an independent translator, translating from English into Dutch. more…
