YURI DURAAN Poems

Monster wave crashes into coast line
Line of work excludes 40-year old white man
Man brutally murders wife
Wife of Mayor congratulates family of miracle baby
...

I sit in silence...
the world around me
alive with people
hurrying here and there
...

I have your flowers, I have your words…
your beautiful poems you bestow on me

I have your presents, I have your books
...

My words are music -
the notes, my words, the
melody and phrases a song
to express my heart –
...

Tonight …

I will wrap my heart in pearls for you,
it being the symbol of the healing
...

Mary is happy
she does not think
or dream
or wonders why the first
...

Oh the bliss,
oh the pain!

I am swimming in this
...

I watch
the pale moon
rising
night in
...

You believe the Earth is flat
where you can see to the end of it
and in the seeing you can
control this world...
...

That boy has my heart!

He says he found it
and it's 'finders keepers'...
