Dean du Preez Poems

Death came to take you away,
My tomorrows are no longer like my yesterdays.

I was free and now i feel trapped,
...

Surfing is amazing....
I enjoy watching the other surfers from the beach...
I enjoy watching them ride waves as im paddling out again...
Always good to see your mates in a barrel....
...

Aloha Champ you are still a star,
Your last heat against Slater will be remembered afar...

You had the final say,
...

As seasons change to make new from old,
You have been taken to be refined like the purest of gold.

Your body not needed to where you now go,
...

Mozambique, Mozambique take me back and kiss my cheek,
My homeland has become a bore, cos television dictates behind every door..I want to escape to where i am free,
where i have more time, more time for me..
...

To understand a woman is not complicated, consider a child and what makes them elated...

For inside each woman is an innocent child, its only man who percieves her as wild...
...

Its never too easy, its sometimes too hard, mending broken glass in my back yard...

Now i know what peace is, sifting through broken pieces, i had it once and held it tight, but now i lie here alone at night...
...

You are the REASON my heart has found a new season,

A brand new beginning I cannot stop grinning…
...
