So this is where I am now
Living in the great
A friend in a position
Opportunity create.

It started with a phone call
One Monday morning haste
I couldn't let it pass me by
And let it go to waste.

Couple hours later
A decision I did make
I said no doubt
I would participate.

So now we're here
Months later stand
In the air away we flew
On to try our new old brand.

Though detour en route
We stop at the Sun
Few days of eat and play
All in good fun.

Boarded again a morning to lunch
Four hours away descended into heat
Tropical vibes our home for a while
This humid paradise a humanly treat.

First sun breakfast galore
Guided through a world of new
Shopping, bargain and then discover
By bus we rode this island through.

Next break of day we set sail off
Catamaran away to islands more
BBQ, beer, company, crystal ocean
Para-sail I've never done before.

Final morn arise from bed
Northbound by taxi to walk
The ocean, close to floor life
And see what about all this talk.

Amazing downstairs our friends
Awaited with beauty to stun
Clear waters and scenery of life
A great excitement with this done.

To market to bargain for ones at home
And all was found in time
Lunch at Hut with cooling bell
Off home past sign after sign.

Back in the air, blue beneath
Home is a welcome sight
Bitter sweet ending always
Began with same excite.

A last thought passed as we strode
An amazing Provider that always give
What an adventure with a legend friend
This world to discover over and live.

First & Last

People always talk about their first

Love, hurt, touch and kiss

Remember way back in time

But I seem not to miss.

I think the past stepping stones

Fun at times, learning at most

Were forming of us back then

But to the present we play host.

Forgot her face, her lips and eyes

Not of any cause I set out to be

But not the best it ever made sense

Now looking forward is where I see.

Not just to future but excite dare

And you create expectation where none

Would have been without presence

Every day the same thought done.

First was where we started long ago

Today is not that day

Last is the one where all happiness

Come together with you, I pray.

First was, now is and last to come

And I won’t be able…no, never

Finding more imperfect perfection

At last, my last, to last…forever.

vrede verlief

Maanskyn en rose soos alle begin
Die verliefdheid tussen ons staan
Tyd spandeer van waarde onmerk
En verwonder in waarheen tyd gaan.

En so het my droom met my gedagtes
Begin smokkel...wegloop met my geluk
Twyfel vergiftig my verstaan van jou
Ek wonder wanneer ek gaan wakker skrik.

Menslik gebôre met onsekerheid in hand
Vrees vervang wat pragtig was...is
Bid vir Sy keuse en vrede in hart
Ek kan nie sien wat ek dan vermis?

Glo, vertrou en soos alle keer vroeër
Neem stilte waar die storm verwoes
God's kalm lig my bekommernis weg
En ek voel wat ek al die tyd moes.

My liefde elke dag in meervoud groei
Sekerheid lê in my siel oor jou
Sonder hindernis kan ek leef in ons
My gister, my nou, my altyd, my vrou.

This story Part V

And all I can think about is how much I want you here with me. I catch myself looking at pictures of you, wishing I could hold you all day and all night. Keep you warm in this coldness outside. A song as old as time itself but now with my voice sounded. I miss her. Her being you of course. I crave that feeling when you fit perfectly in my arms. Every time. I wish you would stay. Stay a little longer. Stay forever.

Dance

I want to dance
Dance with you
The girl of my dreams
My dream that came true.

I want to feel you follow
The rhythm that I give
Sway with grace across
See your body in the music live.

I need your smile
To keep me going
From turn to tip
Your love in knowing.

My greatest treasure
In song captured dance
Slow or fastest rotate
You put me in a trance.

My arm around you
Exactly where it should
Be, this feeling belongs
No better it ever could.

Take my hand and join
The steps forward on
Bless our song
Till the last note has gone.

This story Part IV

Down the road where tar turned to soft white sand in the darkness. Hand in hand. Cold by the wind this place befriended years ago. A little to the left and up the dune we found our spot. I held her as close as possible but it was she that kept me warm. The sky set a backdrop and the ocean sang the chorus as we talked about us, now and tomorrow. I saw her eyes waiting patiently as the words found my voice. "I truly love you." Without skipping a heart's beat she responded with the same affection. The stars broke through the night and the orchestra of waves did their encore. Never again cold, a night dare ever be.

This story Part III

As I looked into her eyes with the millions of stars above us, I saw that she was holding something back. Her face betrayed her thoughts. She tried to deny but couldn't convince me. My curiosity was also getting the best of me. When I asked her, she tried fighting against the urge. I felt her struggle and a shiver went down my spine even though it was a warm night. What was hidden in her mind? What is she waiting for? What was this never ending pause about? And then she spoke. Although she asked a question, she told me everything. It was real. I finally accepted that this was no dream. The fear of waking up parted from my being. This was no dream. This was the beginning of the adventure I was waiting for.
