Daleen Enslinstrydom Poems

Sometimes life is but a time between events
that leads up to another place and time in space
and sometimes it feels as if time is running out
and the hourglass and the mirror betrays you
...

Love is medicine for the heart
that can make despair disappear
and cause a knight to appear.
...

In a hole under a big oak tree
the toad awakes out of his winter sleep,
he smells the rain
and knows that spring has just begun.
...

Just before the night pulls
its veil over the earth.
and darkness conquers the day
and the sun does disappear
...

Winds, chilliness brings a feeling
that I do not like.
When the silence of winter
comes and lie audible
...

if we could only know
what tomorrow holds
and if we could measure the next tomorrow.
...

When the sky is grey and wet
and clouds hang low
the cups of the white Iceberg-roses
are wet and heavy
...

She wasn’t stupid,
just a little bit behind
as they did move a lot.
...

Stripped of your leaves
you stand here alone
with the cold
penetrating each grain,
...

In the alley your eyes look out of a dumpster at me.
Your eyes look deep into my soul
and they ask more of me
than I can give.
...
