Diana van den Berg Poems

There has always been
something
that has whispered to her
in the history
...

Your finger-tip touch
explodes the eclipse of the sun
and shines the moon
wider than the sky.
...

He held out his hand
and she took it
shyly at first
exploring the depth of his eyes,
...

The rain soft-drummed
its soothing heartbeat
in a lullaby hush
of whispered peace
...

Dear God
please accept these humble tears
in supplication for our beloved Madiba
who we share with all the world.
...

Wrapped in a timeless glow
of sungold light
and open heavens of ocean-blue
and tweets and twitters
...

An empty bank balance.
...

Like the last swirl
of chiffon
in the dance
of the seven veils;
...

Blessed?
Both?
She wondered about these things
and why it is
...

A sorrowing heart
that’s heavier than storm clouds
crying frozen tears.
...
