Allen Liebenberg Poems

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.
