Effie Yalena Steyn Poems

Immortal, incomparable
Inconceivable to many, this truth:
As the stars washed up on
painful shores, night falls.
...

Borax soap on a 'wooden' table.
Get me my UV Light- see the sparkles.
It's not really clean!
...

Hear the banging of the wood on wood deciding a life,
a living,
or is it just voicing the path of righteousness or re-offending to be
undertaken in a month, a year, a millennium?
...

(Do not swear, here is your redemption.)

You are so calm and full of grace
A winner of our IQ race
...

Tell me why, I dont like Mondays.
Tell me the truth.
Tell me all I ever want is right in your next smile.
Tell me you'll always be here.
...

To the Night,
my sanctuary and saviour,
how I delight in your velvet
folds and soar over rooftops unafraid, in your enveloping
...

Ivy Skies, my last goodbye
Will be to you my
love, my eternal friend.
Your love will never be lost on me
...

It’s in the grass, it’s in the trees
It’s in the very air you breathe
A sickly scent, a telling rush
A sideways glance that makes you blush
...

Wow. Your intelligence amazes
my blank chessboard brain.
Unlike A Scanner Darkly where the poor
man cries in vain.
...

Lustre, il erre
En bas Parisiennes
Ses cheveux dans son col
Son coeur dans sa bouche.
...
