Klemens Heinen wrote lots of poems and funny texts, which are, funnily enough, all in German!
You can find some of them on the German site:
„A little folly,
that goes without saying,
is always part of poesy.“
Heinrich Heine

Here is one poem from Klemens Heinen‘s niece
Nicki Heinen. The wonderful poet from London wrote it short time after the death of Klemens Heinen.
Für Kle
11th September 1938 - 18th June 2008
Play softly,
Abendlang,
With a soft song,
A blue cadenza,
A smile at your fingertips,
Laughing into the sun.
Play softly
In nights of pressing silence,
Your music ringing defiantly
Into the empty room,
Crystalline,
Perfect as memory.
Play softly,
And we will listen always.
Nicki Heinen, july 2008
