When love in time decays,
when it looses all of its respects
and you cannot come my way,
when it is only filled with defects
...
(for Gwenavieve Enslin)
Your dad says proudly that he did design you himself:
your eyes, nose and mouth are genetically from him.
...
(after Ina Rousseau)
As if a kaleidoscope further circle out with you and me,
like patterns on mother of pearl I do our relationship see,
...
It's almost the beginning of spring
and locked-down I do miss you so,
while outside the weavers do sing.
It's almost the beginning of spring
...
(after Heinrich Heine)
He thought that their love was something deep
where as a thief at first he stole her heart,
...
I knew that it takes a great man to admit to mistakes
last night while watching the president's address
and a greater man still to rectify whatever it takes,
that the world and this country are in a great mess,
...
Hearing the doves
cooing from the sycamore tree
constantly as if they are in love
reminds me about your tender care
...
The comforting warmth of the sun falling
through the window,
the voices of many birds calling serene
from the meadow
...
When tea is made at half past seven
and again at eleven
he comes from the grass where he has been hiding
or from a tree down he comes sliding,
...
Everything that I posses does not belong to me
but is a sign of Your love and great mercy
and even all my great and good deeds
do not make me free of Your crucifixion or of blame
...
