Daleen Enslinstrydom Poems

For far too long I was alone
and it was almost the same time
as Jacob waited for Rebecca.
...

For far too long I was alone
and it was almost the same time
as Jacob waited for Rebecca.

Too many nights did I count
...

It is almost an illusion
as if the images that your eyes do see
are too good to be true
and the antelope are gathering everywhere
...

In the whirlpool that we call life,
we forget how to laugh, even how to smile.
We distance ourselves from friends
and even our families.
...

In your hands you clutch a board
with a written plea:
'No work, no food and children to feed.
May God bless you.'
...

and I had loved you before we met
as if it was written in the stars
long before time had existed

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
...
