Africa

Africa 
I hear your song, 
I feel your beat, 
Ngiyakuthanda Africa 
And you take me home… 

Your wide open spaces, 
Tseno metala legodimo, 
Your rivers run strong 
Your mountains stand proud. 

Africa 
I hear your song 
I feel your beat 
Ngiyakuthanda Africa 
And you take me home… 

The sun shines brightly on your copper field, 
Your endless horizons set me free… 
Your winds guide me to where the rain falls down 
On the earth where you grow wild and unruly 

Africa 
I hear your song 
I feel your beat 
Ngiyakuthanda Africa 
And you take me home… 

In jou het ek n tuiste... Africa

Loving You

We met by chance,

And became lovers by choice.

I’ll still remember our first kiss,

Long after you’ve forgotten our last.

 

I stay awake to watch you sleep,

Lingering in the aftermath of your touch.

The moon and its mistress watch in anticipation

As I smoulder in the heated bliss that is you.

 

Your touch burns with desire

And I hear you whisper

“never mind the darkness love,

that’s where the stars shine brightest”

 

Our emotions take motion

plunging to depths I have never known

we become one, I melt in the ecstasy of your embrace

and I lose myself in the adventure of loving you..
