Allen Liebenberg

Your voice over the phone the other day
Made my being drift far, far away
To a place where I would have a seat
When two months ago for the second time we would meet
...

The words in this poem do none but frustrate
And the unexplanatory ink I truly hate
When all I want to do right now
Is pledge my all while in front of you I bow
...

I am sorry for the wrong I did to you
And for making your life so blue
I am sorry for the right I left undid
And the golden opportunity that I through my fingers slid
...

The colour of your hair hurts my eyes
After you walked away, that’s when I started my cries
Knowing that I might never see you again
Cause my heart and soul unimaginable pain.
...

Arms tangling, lips seeking hands with touch
How could I love ONE person this much?
Ears listening to every small sound, every heartbeat
As the wind of honesty sweeps me off my feet.
...

e
Miles are far distances away
And thoughts are sometimes in dismay
When all that I truly crave
...

Written for the one that I ONCE loved

Sometimes I wish you were far and not near
Sometimes I wish you were over there rather than here
...

Dark as the night is my life this stage
Depression fills my mind, heart eaten by rage
Untrustworthy I deem my surround’
In my ears, accusing is the sounds
...

Your eyes the story of your soul
Your mouth can make a heart once broken whole
When you smile that crooked smile of yours
That can quench even the sorrow-est of scorch.
...

Hearts just a kind of card you say?
I have a theory about that if I may
Every second of every day I ponder
Where my heart without hurt may had yonder.
...

Seas does the heart no good
Distance for lonesomeness vital food
Continents but a mere hinderness
To know with what you are REALLY blessed
...

His head is congested with his own dreams
He stare at the sun’s light years beams
His heart is heavy with the world’s earthly quest
And the blues get of his soul the best
...

Life was not from the start all fair
When with questions my heart had to bare
Why am I the only one left behind
When your heart was with others so kind?
...

I am standing behind the bedroom door
Furniture lying scattered on the cold afternoon floor
Wondering why we keep burdening our hearts
With issues that sure will our way parts?
...

Meeting you in the time of my life,
To better heights I was about to strive
And friendship was there and then formed
A friendship I did not think was so adored
...

Emotion flow down my cheeks in dew
When, for once in my life I knew
The outcome I would not like
Is piercing through my heart like an iron spike
...

Veins in honey brown eyes so red
Tells of nights spent with me instead
The dark blue circles under your eyes
Tells of love stories until the sun in the morning rise
...

What is wrong with my ever thinking heart?
That from emotion and feeling it can not part?
Any human coming and going from my life
Stab through my heart a sentimental knife.
...

The world would be a better place
If they stopped looking at me
And God would let them through His Almighty Grace
Through my mask His Majesty see.
