Daleen Enslinstrydom Poems

It is the longest route through the Cape Province,
it's as very quiet road
and almost desolated and sleepy,
a boring piece of landscape.
...

Love does not have any boundaries,
it climbs over mountains and wanders into valleys,
it seeks out all of the hidden places of the heart;
places where only loving words can go.
...

Vanity is a very bad thing
it has the ability to make you think
that you are better than ordinary people
and it lets you think that you are a god
...

In the Simonsberg mountains lays a valley
that is intricately woven in the colours and shades
of the late summer and the beginning of autumn
when the leaves have an array of different hues
...

Between the sand dunes
and the rocky waterless mountains
I came to look for the treasure of your heart
and in the Namib I will find you, my desert rose
...

When the sun stains the horizon
and the day breaks through
it brings hope and expectation,
an explosion of colours
...

Happiness sometimes unravels just a little bit
as in life laughter and tears seems to be caught up as one,
a lifetime seems to be quicker than dreamtime
with answers found and answers lost
...

When love breaks through like soft spring rain
and softens the twigs of the heart
and the love-tree buds into opening blossoms
it’s like two hands that find each other,
...

It’s never good to be alone
and there is too much time to think.
Nobody should be alone,
especially not a child on a birthday.
...

When the clouds gather in the sky
and their thrusting brings about lightning
that lights up the heaven
in a electrical display
...
