Daleen Enslinstrydom Poems

Why does the night feel so much longer
when it’s difficult to fall asleep
and the thoughts and the things that bother you
are caught up in your reality
...

the light is crisp and bright
and the air is fresh and washed clean,
the sky is more radiant and bluer
than the bluest blue
...

I miss you like summer rain
when the air around me is stuffy and foul.
I miss your heartbeat against me
like the sound of the rain falling,
...

When the summer and its warmth are back,
will they remember
the winter and its casualties?
...

In the dark of the night
the shame is veiled
and pain cuts through her
like her like a scorching knife
...

She awakes when the summer sun dims,
her eyes glow like radiant gold
and copper and bronze shimmer over her whole body.
...

Winter creeps into the room
like a gigantic personality,
foggy vapor rises
from the warm breaths around me
...

Why do words not come easy to me?
When I try to explain the difficulties of life
I do get stuck with a pen on paper
and life lies empty in front of me.
...

The love of God manifested in Christ
is an indication
of His peace and blessings.
...

White painted houses are in a row
with the cobalt-blue ocean as a background
and the colours are changing constantly
as the sun lowers itself over the horizon
...
