C.F. van Niekerk Poems

Know yourself

I was born as a son.
I lived as a boy.
...

Naivety in Shadows

The simple and naive are the powerful indeed,
For the other has their boundaries set by experiences met.
...

'Blood out”

If we fight why do we love?
I we love why do we fight?
...

A Pause

Like ambient pause of bird in flight,
Reflection in a pond reveals its might.
...
