Like at your holiday-home at the sea
the waves bash and burst and sweep us along
...

(for Annelize)

The scorching sun burns the sky blue
and I do so intensely love you.
...

(in answer to Susan Smith)

In ancient time I did ride on my golden-haired pig-bear
or my golden war-chariot did cut the way short
...

I notice her in Sandton City and she is slender and lean,
very beautiful, do scarcely use makeup,
with the curves that do catch every male eye
with a crocodile-leather handbag that hangs on her arm,
...

(in answer to A. G. Visser)

It's late afternoon on the last day of creation,
it's becoming twilight with the beginning of the night,
...

(for Annelize)

Maybe I will have to wait through aeons
I thought on a morning
...

(for Annelize)

You are rooted into my heart
and I have grown into you
...

(for Annelize)

I remember you in that summer so happy and gay,
from early morning the sun was high and bright
...

the makeup of exactly what He is,
the composition of God
where He exists outside the scope,
the science,
...
