I'm an enlightened 
equinox, strolling in
faded universe, 
dreaming poetry in
susurrus serenades 
of rustling 
ruby-leaves which
whisper cool 
beamish hues
to my autumnal-
quartz heart, 
when the nucleus 
of unborn flowers, 
wishes for a 
meditative 
musing amidst 
this mocha...

In a world where dreams are rakish and quixotic,
Where quiddity seems extravagantly chaotic,
A chivalrous soul dares to be different.
With a heart that beats fervently, so magnificent.

Romantic notions dance in their minds.
A visionary quintessence they find,
Chimerical...

Gewoonlik is my boundaries sterk 
Word ek assigned deur guidance met a Engels'vlerk
My journey neem langer en my sielsnare word gevleg
My boundaries raak flexible en a unieke konneksies word aanmekaar geheg
A journey het ontwikkel in...

Spree three quite legal vehicles at a four-way intersection by selection,

suddenly, 
abundantly,

glaring, 
blaring, 

crashing, 
smashing,

cooperating,
accommodating, 

persistence, 
assistance,

bender, 

easy, 
peasy, 

surely, 
truly, ...

I sit at home, nowhere to go.
An itch to go somewhere, anywhere, to find inspiration.
There seems to be little to do in isolation.

My mind begins to wander.
I look out my window and sigh,
suddenly something has...

We are finite beings in an infinite space;
We are thrown in at the start,
Pushed into the unknowable depth 
Of the darkest waters, without warning.

Sometimes we take pause,
Allow ourselves to admire 
The things created for us,
Things...

A stretched gloaming tethers creation in a 
daystar's wake ... askew parts The Old Guitarist 
ebbing lambent stars strung to a yarn of spring ...

'Tis the volley of calendrical crasis

I am a hodaphile of these ways and
this is the journey of my life ,
moving on a straight road of time,
to reach somewhere far apart,
away from this world so far,
in the world of my dreams,

Net soos Noag, David & Abraham
word dissiepels van die ware lam.
Net soos Johannes, Lukas of Filamon
leer die word en vertrou net op Hom.
Leef soos Titus, Markus & Daniël
wys vir almal dat God maak ‘n verskil,

Ballet of calm swans glissades, silhouette
placed culled singles tryst, pond sides by vast knoll,
balters few burbled matches. Grasped sunset
whilst espy eyes pry, as through a peephole,

Toe dit als eindig
Daar was nêrens om te 
gaan
Ek het myself versteek
Gehoop iemand sal my

Die dag het nooit gekom

Soos tyd verloop het die 
pyn verdwyn
Ek dog die herinneringe 
was finaal weg
Ek was verkeerd
Die keer...

The God of the night and of New days
Was gently then greaty praised

Melts to a smooth touch that norms Autumn's eve,
eyes calm swans ballet, glissades silhouette,
faint lights pair, a porcelain minuet.
A curio stand, well placed, best achieve.
Nice culled singles tryst, pond sides by vast knoll,

The stars shine, indifferent to what was and what will be.
In a way, the night sky, as beautiful as it may be, is the most nihilsitic thing one may look at
The same stars remains unchanged-...

No mortal should be fooled by the worlds ephemeral splender, 
have people lost their souls?
or just unable to feel Sonder.
Modest the kindful may seem, 
but be aware of what kindness may render.

Tempting the world maybe,...

Skiet mis

In plaas van woorde uit my pen
Vloei trane uit  my hart se oog
Sodra ek sien ek het gewen
Besef ek hoe haar blom uitdroog
In minder as net sewe dae
verloor haar hart sy steun. En...
