I want to Breath You
I want to Breath You”
I want to get lost in your eyes
The windows to your soul
Of a depth untold
The deeper I fall inside your soul
Drowning in blissfulness
Beyond our control
A perfect union of our inners
A perfect inner muse
We are made of the same matter
As we each journey our spiritual paths
Together supporting and discussing
Though our realms may differ
Our experiences on the same level
The depth of us each other feels
Our souls talk to each other while asleep
Holding your hand your head in my lap
As we sit...

Our souls talk to each other while asleep
Holding your hand your head in my lap

I Believe in Fairies
Sometimes I feel their presence
Other times I can see them in my garden
Little wings gently flapping
As they hover in mid air
Doing what they were decreed to do
Tending the leaves on the trees whole day
And as the day progresses
They quiet down
Softly singing and dancing
As they get ready for sunset
When they will settle down
Some fairies will bow their heads
Before they lay their heads to rest
Others will keep watch over the garden
Taking turns to rest throughout the night
For every leaf that falls in autumn
A little...

'Ancient Cries'
There is a storm brewing
Thoughts flashing like thunder and lightning
Moods changing like Cape Town's
Four seasons in one day
A mind flooding with unwritten words
Raging like the waves of a tsunami
Spreading across the world
Eyes ablaze burning through time
Ancient spirits calling
Travelling on the time waves
Of your yearning
Ageless emotions burning
Yearning the flesh
Sucking the air from your lungs
Drowning in the glow of love
Stormy winds cooling heated moans
Two intense souls deepest yeaning
Emotions always in...

"BOO"
Leaning against your hard chest
Blissfully happy under your spell
Spoiling me with your love and attention
You and I, our life
Our days spent in endearments
And sending messages of love
Coming up from behind you
I place my palm over your eyes
Whispering in your ear
Boo
Guess who?
You gently take my hands away
Turned around and held me close
Picking me up to kiss my lips
Your hand in my hair
Our passions take flight
Beyond the moon and the stars to night
Blissfully happy under your spell
Spoiling me with your love and attention
You and I, our life
Our days spent in endearments
And sending messages of love
Coming up from behind you
I place my palm over your eyes
Whispering in your ear
Boo
Guess who?
You gently take my hands away
Turned around and held me close
Picking me up to kiss my lips
Your hand in my hair
Our passions take flight
Beyond the moon and the stars to night

“Mr. Incredible”
I can but make you smile
Show you how easy it is to love
Your heart needs to be fulfilled
Your temple needs to be covered
In a blanket of true love
Your lips need the taste of rose petal sweetness
Admired and loved
Only few saw what I saw
In your eyes, a true loneliness
The gentle sensitive you
Hidden behind a curtain of hard stares
And false laughs
Until I stared you down from your high horse
It is time to get real
Forget the pain of your past
On which you hold on to
As not to open your heart
Now that Love has...

“For you, My Love”
I watch you sleep
Dark limbs entwined in sheets
The strength you show even while asleep
Makes my heart skip a beat
You are the one I’ve come to love
The one who exhausts me in fiery passion
The one who knows how to make me purr
Bless the day we met
At the carnival two years prior
Avoiding the crowd
I walked right into your arms
Spilling my chocolate milkshake
Over the front of your white coat
As I looked up into your hazel eyes
Saw the sadness replaced with light
Time stood still
You said something
But I could only...

“Coming back to Almighty”
Bursting with colours of being
Enshrouded in divine light reflecting
Holy Scriptures not in question
But mankind’s implementation thereof
Restricting with culture and tradition
Like a gospel more important than
Almighty’s word
Fanatics giving wrong impression to the world
Confusing colours divine
Forgetting their every sense and limb
Was created by Him
Then there are those who strive
To live accordingly
Grateful for every breath
Grateful for another day
To follow Holy Scripture as guidance
To gain God’s favours
Criticized...

“Imprinted In My Mind”
A scene from when I was sixteen
I can’t remember the place
Nor the families who formed the group at the picnic
I was sitting on the grass enjoying the autumn sun
Watching the new comers park their van
A sudden gust of wind
A sense of magic was in the air
Autumn leaves floating
The Fair Ones at play
My first lesson of how love should be
It was only the two of them
A beautiful redhead tall and slender
Her love bald and a head shorter
A smiling gentleman
Contented and one with each other and the universe
The love between them a blind...

“Starting Anew”
The sentimental feelings
Keeping of souvenirs
When she sees his name in bright lights
Without an explanation he stayed away
Didn’t take her calls
Now she sees he’s name
In every tabloid
On the cover of every magazine
With a beautiful red head at he’s arm
It was barely a month ago when he lay on her bosom
Listening to the rhythm of her heart’s beats
He played her
For al these months of loving embrace
Their flame filled kisses
Casting shadows on the wall
Advising him and comforting him
When his world came crashing down...

“Dizzy”
It’s been a misty morning..
Watery sunshine at midday..
Right now pale blue skies with splash of cotton wool...
Dark table cloth cloud over Table Mountain...
Damp soil and lizards scramming for shelter
Form feet in the long grass...
I love trees and the untouched beauty of the forest...
Lying here... Dizzy
Waiting for my head to stop spinning
As my head spin I see your radiant smile
And sparkling eyes
It is clear as day that you love me the same
The trees are spinning
And the sun rays are creating a tunnel of light
I am there inside...
Watery sunshine at midday..
Right now pale blue skies with splash of cotton wool...
Dark table cloth cloud over Table Mountain...
Damp soil and lizards scramming for shelter
Form feet in the long grass...
I love trees and the untouched beauty of the forest...
Lying here... Dizzy
Waiting for my head to stop spinning
As my head spin I see your radiant smile
And sparkling eyes
It is clear as day that you love me the same
The trees are spinning
And the sun rays are creating a tunnel of light
I am there inside...

“Sealed with a Kiss”
The ring on your finger
Your chosen soul’s mate
Your spouse
Uniting two families
Hers and yours
The vows you exchanged
In the presence of Almighty
The handshake between fathers
The colours on your canvas
Your, self woven destiny
Your marriage sealed with a kiss
Blessed in heaven
Your sacred union
Cherish each other
With Respect, Honour
Hold fast to Almighty
Walk hand in hand
Through rough waters
With Love and Understanding
And forever live a peaceful blissful life
Sealed with heaven’s kiss
Your chosen soul’s mate
Your spouse
Uniting two families
Hers and yours
The vows you exchanged
In the presence of Almighty
The handshake between fathers
The colours on your canvas
Your, self woven destiny
Your marriage sealed with a kiss
Blessed in heaven
Your sacred union
Cherish each other
With Respect, Honour
Hold fast to Almighty
Walk hand in hand
Through rough waters
With Love and Understanding
And forever live a peaceful blissful life
Sealed with heaven’s kiss
