'n Neon-boog? (Afrikaans)
Ek staan onder die koel blou son
En in die vêrte sien ek ‘n neon-boog
Ek sou na dit loop- as ek kon
Dit staan so hoepel hoog
Na waar lei die ander ent?
‘n Skat-kus pen oor ent?
Of net ‘n droom waar hy hoort?
Onder ‘n gevleulde vrugte boord
Ja, sê jy, my duurb’re mamma?
Of is dit net kamma-kamma?
Woorde is mos niks nie
Sonder ‘n klein ou sienintjie
En in die vêrte sien ek ‘n neon-boog
Ek sou na dit loop- as ek kon
Dit staan so hoepel hoog
Na waar lei die ander ent?
‘n Skat-kus pen oor ent?
Of net ‘n droom waar hy hoort?
Onder ‘n gevleulde vrugte boord
Ja, sê jy, my duurb’re mamma?
Of is dit net kamma-kamma?
Woorde is mos niks nie
Sonder ‘n klein ou sienintjie

OBSERVATIONAL POEM

Blue Butterfly (Not literally about a butterfly)
Hopeless, tiny butterfly
with wings clasping, fluttering free
I see bright colored connections from
tip-to-tip...
World through your eyes
Conclude not once to others around
Inked tattoos on skin unworthy
No thoughts of hinder nor other facts
A mediocre emotion; lost in translation
Monochrome mimes translate so false
A tragedy in our own eyes...
as the blue tattoo starts to fade
Only when bright colored wings
turn dull and-
Stops-
is the carelessness and obscurity clarified
By obscene simplicity, unknown to most...
with wings clasping, fluttering free
I see bright colored connections from
tip-to-tip...
World through your eyes
Conclude not once to others around
Inked tattoos on skin unworthy
No thoughts of hinder nor other facts
A mediocre emotion; lost in translation
Monochrome mimes translate so false
A tragedy in our own eyes...
as the blue tattoo starts to fade
Only when bright colored wings

Stops-

My happiness, I share with you worthlessly.
Why is it that I am so nervous when it’s almost time to see him again? I love him madly. We say to each other “I have found my soul mate”. I cannot find better words to describe him other than that.
When my mind drifts to him my heart starts to beat erratically. How could we have been so blind these past two years? We have been searching for true, passionate love, and he was about to give up.
Then we realized... We realized that what we were searching for was right in front of us. At first I was in denial, but I couldn't deny it for long when I had the dreams of us being...

You, My Soul-mate
Can you feel my heart beating
When I hold you tightly against me?
I can feel your warm hands over my body
Leaving my skin warm and lingering
Your love is like a bright flame
I feel you softly breathing on my lips
When you kiss me, everything fades away
Like a sunset over the golden waters
How we whisper to each other without words
Such a treasure kept in my soul
With a lock only to be broken by your voice
Fascinated by your touch and infatuation with me
You leave me breathless
When I hold you tightly against me?
I can feel your warm hands over my body
Leaving my skin warm and lingering
Your love is like a bright flame
I feel you softly breathing on my lips
When you kiss me, everything fades away
Like a sunset over the golden waters
How we whisper to each other without words
Such a treasure kept in my soul
With a lock only to be broken by your voice
Fascinated by your touch and infatuation with me
You leave me breathless

Forgotten Passion
As darkness falls upon the earth
A shadow crawls through the forest turf
Mystified by an obscure presence
The demon senses a desired essence
Her eyes deep and full of sorrow
A scar stained red by a poisoned arrow
Dragged closer by pure seduction
Whispers of promises and passion
She caresses his arm and kisses his neck
Her lips are too sweet to reject
And as soft as the breeze rushing through the autumn leaves
She tells him all her secrets... and truly he believes
Soon the demon falls asleep under the maple trees...
As he...
A shadow crawls through the forest turf
Mystified by an obscure presence
The demon senses a desired essence
Her eyes deep and full of sorrow
A scar stained red by a poisoned arrow
Dragged closer by pure seduction
Whispers of promises and passion
She caresses his arm and kisses his neck
Her lips are too sweet to reject
And as soft as the breeze rushing through the autumn leaves
She tells him all her secrets... and truly he believes
Soon the demon falls asleep under the maple trees...
