Best Tog Poems

Ek was gevra om ietsie oor Pa te sê
Maar waar begin ek nou
Wanneer daar eintlik net een ding is wat ek nou wil doen
Om steeds my arms om Pa te vou

Maar nou is Pa weg
Na ‘n plek waar Pa tog graag wou wees
Bo by Liewe...

Soort soek soort

Soort soek soort
Voëls van ‘n veer
vergader tesame
weer en weer.
Ons beelde is nou
in aparte rame
Tog blyk dit soos een
naam van die selfde
soort, ja soek soort...

She came from that special tribe of women
whose hands have six fingers each.
Fingers that appear a blur of agitation
chattering amongst themselves 
in a language I could never understand.

9th Row: * Yo, K1, yo, sl 1, K1, psso, K13, K2tog, yo, K1, yo, 
K2 tog, K2...

Jy by die see 

In my drome sien ek ‘n duidelike beeld
Van jou en hoe jy wandel langs die see
en die aandwind huil alweer verveeld
net voor die eerste ster sy glimlag gee

Donker kaalvoet spore sink diep in  
nog dieper in die nat en koue...

Like debris then that clutches rolling logs,
this fit of time ensnares like demogues.
What e'er was wholesome, now in total fog
does placate for it's venture, fanfares bog!

Aye, celebrate the venture, 'morrow's clog
will by the neck's redemptor's cost with smog,
the Monarchy's indenture, total flog
will strip away your...

Jou wens 

Die vraag is ‘n stuk van my moed.
So asof ons dit albei weet.
‘n Druk van een, gee sonne-gloed
Ag, kon ‘n mens dit maar net meet?

Tog besef, my eensaamheid
die soektog na die wedren-uil
van jaloesie en afgunstigheid
wat binne in jou glimlag skuil.

Jou bede heel nogsteeds...

This morning, my heart beat like shoe sounds
Tak, Tok, Tak, Tok, 
While I play the role of a gay
I am scared. 

This afternoon, my heart sounds like a clock
Tik, Tak, Tik, Tak, 
I am confused by hour
Running like horse
It suddenly flies in one gaze
Things in...

Piper’s day started same as the rest.
At breakfast time she made a big mess.

What’s going on? I feel very energetic.
My paws keep moving but I can not let it.

She sees the girl heading out of the door.
It is there wide open so Piper ran across...

When it came to love I would always act strange 
younger me messed up with an amazing girl
I'm sorry for all of the past pain 
I've only just realised you were the girl I should have married and gave my last name

You came to me...

*Reserata Carcerem XLIV*

Alas! Moist murk his tarred tog cl'ven.

Within the confines
Of an infinite space,
An illusion of freedom
Looms over us.
We’re brainwashed as children,
Then live to die.
Anchors of trauma,
Curses of choice.
They keep us in place.
Yes, tell me.
Argue that I’m wrong.
“Stop being a cynic,
People aren’t all like that!”
You can say whatever,
But you can’t sway me.
My mind...

My love for you is boundless
Without edge or gate
It spreads across entirely
A never ending state

Deeper than an ocean
Higher than the sky
Sets my heart in motion
With thoughts of you and I

Together loving freely
How the days are long
Caught up in the whirlwind 
Wrapped up in your song...

In die dieptes van duisternis vind ek my pad,
Met 'n seer hart probeer ek die pyn weghou,
Deur die prisma van bottels probeer ek ontsnap,
In die arms van alkohol kry my hartseer vorm. 

Met elke sluk verdrink ek my stille krete,
Maar die gevoelloosheid wat dit meebring,...
