Sylvi Sylva Poems

Those eyes that smile wickedly, each time you wink
That belly laughter that echoes, in rooms you enter
This side of life has its highs, never of your ilk
You my friend has the core...new word for cool I hear
...

I wish my Daddy would live here
I wish he didn’t have to go away
I wish if he could only for one day
Perhaps tell me he loved me at all
...

When I am arrogant
To the point of ignorance
Unearth me
Unbound me
...

Cold, Cold Feet
You feel: I always get cold feet
In this, your roomful society
It’s not through lack of courage, you'll see
...

Fear the spoken silence
For you know nowt
Why or where the sentiment
or if indeed, its contented silence.
...

Do I see,
Prism delights
Violets and azures
Orange and blue haze
...

Old man so young
Old tricks, new belt, old bag o’ nails
New shoes, same feet, now going flat
To me, a young man, so full of heart
...

They left their homes, for a better life
Terrorised new pastures, green and fertile
They raided the maiden land, reaped its fortunes
Sent their loot to their motherland
...

How mighty is it to feel
The weight when you are down
So you can float, in aboundin will
From nadir to acme, now a star known
...

By daylight I seek you, I call to you
my impulsive mind sketching: it sketches simply you
I sense you in smiles, silhouettes, and various places
By nighttime, I see you, I call you, I find you
...
