Let me remind you

My sweet, my beauty
To your soul this say
Hear my words
From onward this day.

First and last
Know my part
I love you
Here my sweet, my heart.

You laugh and I smile
From ear to ear
Lock my gaze with stars
Music...all I hear.

To the end of time
I wish to be blessed
With your presence
Not ever to rest.

Inched to your face
At dusk through to dawn
Witness grace awaken
Forever in the morn.

Then each day breaks
With you, amazing
You are my energy
A fueled fire blazing.

Each timeframe filled
Joy, love, excite, fun
Unique in your person
Into my open arms run!

Opstaan

Oor en oor in koor gehoor
lewenslesse word uitgedeel
woorde bly net dit
op eie beteken nie juis veel

dan jou te kenne
in afstand verneem
tragedie onverstaan
frustrasie ons probleem

raar gekies, beproefde mens
wat opstaan
waar liggaam staak maar
Hy saamgaan

in donker tyd lig skyn
dankbaar wees
nou swak in aard
maar sterk van gees

dankie vir die hoop
in die harte wat jy skep
man van God
verdien my respek.

Hurry home

Hurry home, o sweet one
This place longs your return
Empty existence eager await
A heart of fire waking burn.

Sounds are deafening silent
Colour seems dull to day
Taste and smell bland at best
All touch colder I dare say.

Time drags on in disregard
'Twas too long ago thy face
And all accompany entourage
With its precious presence grace.

But excite rises from my soul
Knowing the future ahead
In little a while I am blessed
With greetings to be said.

I wait for you once more
But gladness filled my own
I hope the same thoughts though
Your face be to mine shown.

Lost in a familiar place

And as I walked on my way
A straight path as my guide
Some tracks were made in tar
Steps that seem be by my side.

People few of pure a heart
My memories from afar miss
Lingers longing for the time
Once spent on true and bliss.

These souls of the most important
Yet distance their own be
Beg able us to understand
How precious they are to me.

Thank you, dear friends
For the past I knew
I miss you painfully
May blessings be to you.

Leë huisie by die see

Gedink hulle slaap al
Dan 'n klop aan my ruit
Van die Golwe wat speel op die nagsand
Soos soet kinders sag.

Wind fluit pronkerig agterna
Hy wat aandag uitbuit
Dra eerder die koue oor die water
En stuur verwagte Dag.

Wolk'svreem en sku vir mens
Van alle spektrum blou
Vervrolik saam met See en Sand
Trek skare saam eens meer.

Praat ons saam soos oud
Almal wil 'n huisie hê by Jou
Maar wat ek nie gewaar het
Die Vrou wat ek begeer.

Wake up to

So I find myself thinking
Yes, I too, sometimes think
In honesty all too much
But to you I tip my drink.

Years from now, not at present
Would my life suite me?
My smile be real and true?
And would returned it be?

Two paths in reality exist
One of hurt and one of hope
Terrifying route unknown
Walking on edge of blind slope.

So this situation on my mind
To which side I wake up to
I thunder my thoughts
Unable to gain a clue.

All it was, purely mist
But clarity came at last
Unsuspected did one day
All worry left in past.

I wake up to you
After day, every day
My heart to last one love
Yours with mine hope stay.

Light bent

For a time at few days least
Imagine colors absent as night's sun
Dull and grey surrounding sight
Life clockwork day after day run.

Fallen faded outside of scope
Not even knowing it turns
Disturbed senses lack of change
From diamonds to ashes it burns.

Now find oneself standing there
Doing it all again and again
But an open mind wonders
If more... more than this dark rain.

God's grace upon my life descend
Looking at a face like before
But this time I see
She beams a life of so much more.

It seemed as though the rainbow awake
Found itself into my life flood flow
Streaming life into lost bore
All my mind's memories gain glow.

Clear and vivid spectrum discover
Guided by her eyes and stars therein
This is where I never knew I should be
Where my life's book coloring truly begin.
