Daleen Enslinstrydom Poems

Darling, come and lay down with me
for a little longer
just before the dawn colours the horizon
and come and whisper sweet nothings in my ear.
...

When the winter cold
creeps out like a old memory
without warning
the days get colder
...

Far from reality and into eternity,
everything that I do think at this moment
belongs to you.
Far from tomorrow and every horizon,
...

We are like two ships,
carved out of heaven's wood,
made to sail the seas of life
together to the glistening shore.
...

Hazy white like a bride’s veil
clouds hang against the icy-blue sky
and emerald green the willow tree stands out
...

In the basin the old wrinkled hands are quiet for a while
and her head is bowed in reverence
while a tear runs down her face
and if you should ask about it
...

As for every thing in life,
all good things comes to an end
and even the most exquisite flower withers,
ice do become water again
...

When the night comes I am afraid
but not afraid of the dark
but of the secrets
that the night holds in its long hours.
...

Today I want to give you a bouquet of flowers
just to say how special you are and that I do care.
White roses to give you peace,
yellow roses for friendship
...

When the car stops in the driveway
I am tired, hot and sweaty
and my feet are killing me.
...
