Hotel Room, by Kate Copeland

Hotel Room by Edward Hopper (United States) 1931

Hotel Room

I wanted to write you 
a letter and now and here
I am in a hotel room where 
suddenly the freedom to 
do

Have escaped again
you know my score
You keep my route
forever tired again
so

I have written you
to state that after all
and still and here
I love you, my one 
to say sorry we were 
so

madly incompatible, 
unable to stop  
the better version of 
me got a hold for
stronger or worse
yet feel all this time 
do

leave, your anger - my calls
allow the sun - our laughs
rather than to forgive 
I wanted to write you 
to never forget 

the sounds we shared
the travels that need

Love always, 
your one

Kate Copeland started reading libraries at the age of five. Her love for words led her to teaching and translating her three favourite languages, while singing along to her favourite lyrics. Her writing teacher advised her to skip stories and start poetry. The subsequent writing waves have already resulted in some publications...leaving a crave for more! She was born in Rotterdam some 51 years ago and adores housesitting in The United Kingdom and Spain.
