Zia Eybers Poems

My precious step Daughter
How I wish the path to you was shorter
I moved a distance away
But my love for you will always stay
...

Prehistoric you are Dinosaur
Some mythical and found only in ancient lore
Some of you walked on all four
Some had feathers and took to the air
...

It was a dark and stormy night
Every lightning bolt came down with might
These storms seemed to grow more intense
My panic grew even more immense
...

My soul feels utterly torn
Forever I think I will mourn
Not too long ago you were born
Now lifeless……
...

I can feel your presence
I can feel your touch
I can feel you warmth
I can feel you love
...

I leave you some sugar
I leave you some crumbs
Everything I break into bite size lumps
...

I hope you find this poem to read
So that my appreciative words can be freed
My gratitude towards you I will express on a page
Open to everyone in this digital age
...

Please allow me to give you an explanation
Of the true meaning of South-Africa’s Rainbow Nation

Sirens are Blue
...

think I should stick to poems about sadness
Trying to write about something else is just madness
I need to save myself from humility
And stop with this stupidity!
...

Tell me if you will
For once, do not remain so still
How does it feel having so much power
Everything you touch goes foul and sour
...
