Lola Sanchez Poems

daars iets hier binne my wat los geskryf moet word
die wete dat al sien ek myself
as ‘n logiese redernerende mens
ek dit nie is nie
...

As ek my hart kon uitkerf
en afspoel in soel seewater
sou ek jou kon uitspoel
...

I met a girl on the train today
Our eyes met in the window
She was different from what I remembered
...

You are going to make me care
You are going to flaunt the haunted eyes,
Quote the loner sayings
And cling to me like a lifesaver while we kiss
...

when my pencil sweeps across the page
and your name wanders into existence
my heart stops.
...

The tide comes in
without the need to explain why

It doesn't write poems
...

sometime dreams can get you down
the pace
the rush
the urgency of dreams
...

jou nommers
->hakies en spasies<-
wat net sin maak vir jou
maak jou 'n dromer
...

vat my hand
lig my op na die wind
laat my die vrede
van jou wereld ervaar
...

though i see myself as a loner
romantically facing the music on my own
dancing to my own tune
and discovering new continents,
...
