Those who live in grass huts speak no prayers for rain, but do bless the dew…

Voëlvry

Niks wat hom keer
die voël in die lug
sy vryheid word meer
en vryer word die vlug

Strek jou vlerke oop
En pak die lewe aan
Staan op en loop
Die harde lewensbaan...

Violis 

Vrolik, opgewek en bly
klink nog ‘n suiwer klank
van die violis se viool.
Die deuntjie tol
na ‘n dalende mineur mol
Iemand laat rol
sy trane van emosies.
Op laas word hy toegejuig
en bestrooi met
wit en bloedrooi rosies....

#1
Strap on nice and tight
where the night knows what to say
can you feel it now?

#2
Jaws dropped to the floor
come touch my sexy headlights
window screen shut

#3
Protections breaks
hard wood moves towards velvet lips
white stains on my chest

Dig aan Hom

Bevaar van gevaar
O, Een van die Vader
Lei my in U wee
En dank vir wat U gee
Lof aan Hom wat 
een op my pad
plaas my te wys
dat dit was nie al
maar in elk geval
goedheid en wel
op sy tyd getel.
Vergeeft mij dan waar
ich twijfelend gefalen
Dis mijn gebeden
Amen!...

My blou bul “girl”
Sy gee my die “thrill”
Sy is die ene,
Sy het die mooste bene.
Die een vir wie ek lewe.
Sy is my alles.
Baie beter as Jacque Kallis
Die rede hoekom ek slaap,
En opstaan in die oggend.
Ek sal haar die wereld gee,
Saam met die groot blou see.
Haar van is Kyle.
Sy het die pragtigste smile....

Another day draws to a close
More thoughts of you put down in prose 
I just can't seem to stop the flow 
And I don't mind one bit you know 
With you it's easy, the words they come
But where they do I know not from
So I'll just keep writing with all I've got
Until such time as I cannot...

Judge not or Ye
Judged to be like

Catching Moon Sighs

 
From time to time
as clouds pass
     — those  plumpted puffs — 
               touring  by 
…Out 
      from behind them
  a
  Night’s  lit
               Blink!
             will occur
for: 
T’is  our
Moon sighing 
at Time’s insistent nudges 
			to fleet  on by
And at which overseeing Venus
     winks her sympathies…

Die Marionet

Daar voor op die verhoog
So ewe droog. 
Die Marionet

Met die Meester se stem
So, asof getem. 
Die Marionet

Geen wil van sy eie
Het hy ‘n getuie? 
Die Marionet?

Hy dans darem en sing
Hy is ‘n snaakse ding.
Jy weet mos

Aan toutjie van gena’
Niks wat hom pla
Moet ek weer?

Met die meester se mag
Het almal gelag
Vir die pop
As die vertoning verby is
Opgesluit in ‘n kis...

DIE MARIONET...

The dog is leaping and frolicking like crazy today
But the cat is haughty, and keeps herself far away.
The dog is doing a Scottish Reel and a petootsi watusi.
The cat is licking her paws acting stuck up and snoot-sy.

The dog is adorable now, doing a line dance with cowboys
The cat is batting away her catnip filled mouse toys.
The dog is singing, playing a guitar, and doing a prance.
The prissy cat is sleeping; she simply won't dance....

A stroll through Autumn holding your hand,
Talking nostalgic of days slipped by.
We remind ourselves of each little child,
Remember Jenny, Jimmy, Herbie and Sy.

We shuffle crispy leaves under years’ old shoes,
You slip a kiss neath my ear,
How many weeks do we have to shuffle through fall.
I will press that kiss, never fear. 

Sing to me quietly our song, our song,
The one you held to my cheek.
While we saved it in our annual heart,
Through Christmas Carols and Winter bleak....
