Daleen Enslinstrydom Poems

As for every thing in life,
all good things comes to an end
and even the most exquisite flower withers,
ice do become water again
...

Darling, come and lay down with me
for a little longer
just before the dawn colours the horizon
and come and whisper sweet nothings in my ear.
...

I have always loved to have a picnic.
and laying down on the short grass
with my hands behind my head,
looking at the clouds
...

When you see me you will not mind me
as I seem only small
and with my golden eyes
I do watch you and wag my tail
...

When we met you told me
something that I had never known before:
“My love for you
will demand everything
...

If I could give a heavenly bouquet to you
with roses on long stems dripping with heavenly dew
it would never be enough to compensate for your love.
Your love is a treasure chest full of caring,
...

When the morning sun sparkled
on the dew on the grass in the garden
I went out to pick roses
before the dew evaporated in the sun.
...

“I not peanut papaw, ” she said,
sitting on the garden chair as if she is already grown up
despite the fact that she is only two years old.
...

Where she stands at the corner of the street
I can hear him talking to her.
With eyes that are turned down
she answers him in the best way that she knows.
...

On the edge of the forest I saw her for the first time,
with just a glimpse as she lured me
and maybe it was just my imagination
playing tricks with my mind.
...
