Broken Wings
Broken Wings
Love soaring over mountain tops
Intense loving with souls
Nothing else existed
No-one else mattered
But for our love
In our little world
As fate would have it
This was not enough for you
Without winds of love
Beneath my wings
I fell from cloud nine
Plummeting to the ground
Earth bound and shattered
Broken wings could carry me no more...

Without winds of love

Plummeting to the ground
Earth bound and shattered
Broken wings could carry me no more...

Verlate en Vergete
Aleen in die wereld
So eensaam na jy weg is
My hart in stukkies
Gebroke en aleen
Sit ek en luister na die branders
Wat op die rotse breek
vluister ek jou naam
soos die reen druppels op die dak
dit lyk of die maan saam met my huil
die blink ogies van miljoene sterretjies
wat na my kyk
as of hulle my verdriet kan aanvoel
the aroma van jou skeurmiddel nog vars on my
asof jy enige oomblik by die deur gaan inkom
my enigste troos is die lughuis in die verte
hoe kon jy dit aan ons doen?

"Big Balls"
Amazing as to what the mind conjures
While making mushroom and cheese omelette.
lol
well I
married a farmer nicknamed
“Big Balls”
nope it is not what you think at all
It started way back
when he was a city kid
who has never seen a cow
visiting his cousins on the farm
helping with chores
playing in the field
with wonder he stared
at this bull with its huge sack
hanging from its belly
too shy and not wanting to sound stupid
magnus as my husband was baptised
waited for the opportune moment
so with uncle and cousins...

“When or where”
They would meet
Just as he had dreamed
Behind the tall chestnut tree
Hidden away in her tower
Not many has seen her
No one can tell him about her
And he wonders and wishes
To know
Why this familiar feeling
That he knows her
Awake from his usual nightmare
Now standing by his window
Resting his arm on the bottom sill
He stood and stared at the silhouette
Of her house on the hill
Just then her lights on same as his
Can it be that she sensed him to?
Or was it just curiosity?
As they stare at each other from afar...

Deep rooted pain
Browsing through my photo file
Gazing upon your face
My thoughts travelling to the past
Your pain through illness
The time we spent together during
How close we have become
As trees bloomed
Our love blossomed too
How could you?
Spin this yarn of lies
To conceal your face
Still I yearn to know the real truth
We were once so close
I didn’t realize
Just how much you hurt me
How much I still loved you
From the depth of my being
Uncontrollable deep rooted sobs emerged
How do I explain why and from where?

Promises
I promise to love and guide you
Respect and cherish you
To the best of my ability
Your faithful friend
In all your good times
As well as bad
I promise to hold your hand
When you have fear
Like the moon
A guiding light
I promise to always be honest
And sincere
To wake you from your reverie
Pick you up when you fall
I promise to be you your friend till the end...

“The Dark Side of Me”
I want to devour you
Make you dance to my tune
Sip my every word
From my sweet tasting blooded lips
Hypnotized by my presence
Chant my name in your heart’s cavities
Rip out your heart to see
If I’m still in there, somewhere
Not that I need to know
Just to see you bleed
Twisting the knife
As I lick your blood trickling
From the corner of your mouth
And for you to beg me
“Please...”
As I watch you struggle to be free
I want you to drink
From the essence of who I am
Your existence bound to mine
Here and in the next...
Make you dance to my tune
Sip my every word
From my sweet tasting blooded lips
Hypnotized by my presence
Chant my name in your heart’s cavities
Rip out your heart to see
If I’m still in there, somewhere
Not that I need to know
Just to see you bleed
Twisting the knife
As I lick your blood trickling
From the corner of your mouth
And for you to beg me
“Please...”
As I watch you struggle to be free

From the essence of who I am
