An almost perfect night

‘Twas again a social invite

A friend of both did send

At first not too great excite

But alas my arm would bend.

All the people of times gone by

Gathered at last at the same place

Greetings to all, the loud and shy

I found myself searching for your face.

Maybe that’s why I found my way

Maybe I knew I’d meet you there

So I did not stay home that day

You were my decision care.

So, awkwardly we met and started

Talking and better it then began seem

You held me back as I to be departed

I can’t help thinking about being a team.

We kept having the best conversation

I wonder how much better this could be

We laughed together on the same station

As all around carried on with glee.

And after it was all done

But not then to be seen

It came in thought as one

Spending light with you I keen.

Closest holding for now enough

Turning the night away and sing

Not to tell forever rough

Only a queen makes a lasting king.

My mind told me that only this

Was found wanting in this night

At the end when truly done, a kiss

But then again one day I might.

It was not the perfect night, no

But it was perfect for us, I do declare

Time given to me for you to show

Till the day that courage doth dare.

Terloops

Dan is daar hierdie dae wat ek terugdink aan tye wat bekommernisse maar n dag oud was en veelmalige kere nie 'n weeksverjaardag gesien het nie...

Dit was die dae wat ons meer moes doen, minder moes verskonings maak, nader moes bly, verder moes ry, harder moes sing, sagter moes praat, vroeër moes vuur aansteek en later moes wakker bly.

Ons moes oor die onderdeur kon sien maar dit was nog so ver en onnodig onbekend.

Ten minste nou besef ons wat tyd se waarde was... so asof dit te laat is? Ons is mos nog hier is ons nie? Ons weet wat ons nog wou doen...my lys raak langer hoe meer ek afmerk! Besluit self hoeveel tyd jy het of nie wil hê nie...

As jou dag te vol is, waarmee is jy so besig? Nog wonderlike vrae vir n spieëlbeeld kom neer op wat is belangrik vir jou en wat behoort te wees?

Terloops...jy is my antwoord op altwee.

Brothers

I know it has been 14 years today

So long you haven’t seen my face

I heard all the things you since did say

We never thought that life had its own pace.

My little brother is now my big one

As I never had my 7^th birthday that year

So much we had, in one moment gone

If only that day we cared a little fear.

I wish that I could tell you how incredibly proud

I am of you as I watched you grow

Never stepped down into the blending crowd

The integrity you every day show.

I talk to you all the time, retelling the tales

Of us in that time which have long been

Forgotten but I know it hurts, remember fails

But we will laugh with hearts again keen.

Today you become your own

21 years you have been life breathed

Also into others as their eyes it shown

Unfortunate that our adventure thieved.

We took the world head on together

And triumphed, even the tough days

We did not once give up, no never

And still I will be with you, always.

Text

We keep telling ourselves that
It's the little things that matter most
Too life reminds me where I'm at
Again I find to smiling host.

I looked down and found your name

Highlighted on my cellphone screen

And now to where these feelings aim

As I open it and read to keen.

A simple thought shared by you

With me intent to read and find

The little things we sometimes do

Colours the picture inside my mind.

I am happy, my brain full blast
That text would make me see
Even just for a second passed
I know you thought of me.

I write

I write because my voice cannot sing my songs
How am I supposed to show how much I want you
To mean to me and a new adventure long time due
My heart wishes to speak to yours and for it longs.

You smile at me and my whole mind rips

This is all so simple yet understanding it not

My pulse suddenly rises and my thoughts burn hot

The sound of words disappear from my lips.

And others may see what beauty is still left

These are the feelings you must pen down

One day they will chase away a heavy frown

It is only we, ourselves from this living theft.

Everything that brings happiness should be shared

The earth, feelings, masses or even just that one

The sky, sea and events are all part of life being done

Even if silly is a fear, showing it meant you cared.

Being untied from time like a freedom thrive

On one's own, experience as though intent

Each and every reading has a unique dent

I write because my words on paper, come alive.

Relationship Status Part I

My thoughts were distraught

My idea of companionship wrong

Myself over time I did taught

That life isn't a Taylor love song.

In this journey I think I grew

To understand the friendship meant

I can’t word how few I knew

Back when waste time all I spent.

So maybe this time I’ll do it right

Because I know what matters more

Someone somewhere turned on a light

It feels like my unreal blindfold tore.

So here I say

What I think

On from this day

My heart’s ink.

I want a friend that over time

Becomes my best and then from there

One day I will call her mine

And every day then we will share.

One I can talk to, clever and speed’s wit

One to take dancing, shopping and eat ice-cream

One to listen to when her heart needs it

One that I see every time in a drift-away dream.

A true friendship core at its very best

I need not worry of shakes along the way

When the foundation lay uncertainty rest

Any darkness we will turn into day.

Someday I’ll look into her eyes

And hopefully she will look back at me

And in that moment realize

That anywhere else I don’t want to be.

To make a choice

Each day your choices define you

Not the minds of judgement cast

Live for today and own your past

To be, you have come through.

Decide that it will not be the end

Of today but of the next beginning

Live until your head starts spinning

A new challenge around every bend.

Do not just exist, never forget to live

No need for fear or scare

Face your troubles, do and dare

Walk on the edge of your highest cliff.

Be the frontrunner, the bar, the pacemaker

Choose to be better and stronger than before

Never accept that you cannot be even more

Go for what you want, be a planet shaker.

They will see a blur as you reach

Further ahead than they could ever dream

Conquer impossible once that it seem

Climb your mountain, storm your beach.

You are awesome, of this I am sure

Be who you are and never fall stray

You should never hide your beauty away

Write your own story with a lived life core.

Smile all you can and mean it true

Because you can change a once doomed heart

One by one they will choose to take part

Happiness to all is due through you.

Being friends

I loathe this jealousy in my heart
I never would have known it
But hearing that you're sharing part
Elsewhere now I've shown it.

Not to you, o never no
That would be disaster
But how does one romantic grow
And forget about her laughter?

Till now we had fun, danced the nights away
I thought I understood that
Now I wish those times...were longer than a stay
I watched from where I sat.

Somehow we cannot choose what to whom we feel
But what we do about it, surely changes all
I have to close myself up and with this issue deal
Start walking carefully, not for you to fall.

Story of my life, that all those worth a mention
For now without I have to be
But still, I wait in tension
Till the day one looks twice at me.
