Diana van den Berg Poems

Lightning sears the sky
my nemesis calls my name
I am ever drawn.
...

How do I turn from
your midnight eyes lost in mine
when strong will weakens?
...

Teach me to escape
your unforced captivity
and I'll sing your name.
...

I brought you home a traffic light.
You didn't notice it
until it hissed and barked and meowed
and grew into a toffee tree.
...

I look for you

in the smiles of
of dappled dawn light;
...

Brave knight to queen two
pow chemistry overload
queen in jeopardy.
...

Magical
pirouettes
and lifts
and leaps
...

I am intoxicated by your sweet wine words
expressed with feather-fine brushstrokes
and you wrap your sensuous arms
around my quivering heart
...

On his magnificent white stallion,
Wide-chested,
With long flowing mane,
Tail flying behind,
...

Amusing, too
how wrong
and how right
I can be!
...
