Anker Poems | Examples


Breathe

Breathe in, breathe out
Swim out of the dark 
And let the morning sun 
Catch your brows of sorrow 
Float above your dead souls 
With your heart of gold

Breathe in, breathe in
Take in the beauty
That surrounds you
Fall in love 
With yourself again 
Breathe out, breathe out

Breathe in, breathe out 
Let the breeze take you
To your new soul
The right one for you
At The right time 
And then take flight

breathe in, breathe out
Fly through the breeze 
With your kite 
Your anker to the sky
And forever be free
In your prison, everywhere

Verdwyn

Verdwyn 

Gespruit en toe vergete met gewete van papier
Besluit te neem om als te los wat hierso agter bly
Eers drie; toe een; toe twee; toe vier
Die som van toekomsblik vir jou - maar eerder meer vir my 

Die aand was koud en hunkring sterk sou waardes my verpas
Uitnodigend - en kort voor lank was jy my warm jas
Maar soos ‘n fondament bly ek die een wat agterbly
Ek doen en werk verwagtend want die vrug het my verly

As steunpilaar vir jare nog, sou ek die las moes dra
Vergete hoe die woeker-nag my meer as dit sou vra
Ons oes is nou die vrugte van die saad van liefdesdaad
Jou jas in my kas wil nie meer pas – ‘n las bly inderdaad 

Eers twee, toe vier; toe drie dan een 
Jou beurt die anker rol te speel, wyl ek die winter nag alleen
tot in die lente steeds sal wees – al is die kinders ook by my
Groei my enigheid tot bo, waar die Wysheid met sy hulp my lei.
