David Andre' Klopper Poems

I was on top of the mountain looking down,
There you were, stuck on the ground,
In life I had it all, never had to crawl,
If there was beauty, it was all around me,
...

Music keeps me swinging,
Swinging down big city streets,
Wondering just who I shall meet,
How shall I greet? Who will I defeat?
...

Life sure is a mystery,
Every day we repeat our history,
A giant lake,
Filled with all our mistakes,
...

My heart bleeds through my tears,
A river meanders through the desert sands,
From pain life springs forth,
An Oasis appears from the barren land,
...

Life on earth is hard,
It is something we earned,
Every day a body is burned,
What a terrible fate,
...

Winter nights are cold,
And you're feeling old,
Stuck under the overpass,
You just can't get past,
...

One day there'll be no more sorrow,
One day we'll be free,
One day no one will cry,
One day the blind shall see!
...

No more words to say,
Sadly you went away,
Now the sky is grey,
Don't know what to say,
...

Did I ask too much?
Or am I just losing my touch?
Is it a step too far for you to leap?
Or do I just make you weep?
...

It starts with a gentle feeling, then
It builds to a quiet yearning,
It might start to hurt, then,
You'll know all about the burning.
...
