Effie Yalena Steyn Poems

I'll never be the same
Crystal heart in a glass body
High praise for a lady
Hair draped every so softly
...

Borax soap on a 'wooden' table.
Get me my UV Light- see the sparkles.
It's not really clean!
...

Hear the banging of the wood on wood deciding a life,
a living,
or is it just voicing the path of righteousness or re-offending to be
undertaken in a month, a year, a millennium?
...

(Do not swear, here is your redemption.)

You are so calm and full of grace
A winner of our IQ race
...

Tell me why, I dont like Mondays.
Tell me the truth.
Tell me all I ever want is right in your next smile.
Tell me you'll always be here.
...

Ivy Skies, my last goodbye
Will be to you my
love, my eternal friend.
Your love will never be lost on me
...

To the Night,
my sanctuary and saviour,
how I delight in your velvet
folds and soar over rooftops unafraid, in your enveloping
...

Wow. Your intelligence amazes
my blank chessboard brain.
Unlike A Scanner Darkly where the poor
man cries in vain.
...

It’s in the grass, it’s in the trees
It’s in the very air you breathe
A sickly scent, a telling rush
A sideways glance that makes you blush
...

An inner city farm for inner city kids
They know no different just the broken way they live
Hey mum, where does pork come from?
Look it in the eye, cry, but still it dies
...
