for his majesty
had sorted out strategy
became tragedy

If I love you, I love from the core of my heart.
If I hate, still it's from the core of my heart.
You need help, my efforts are from the core of my heart.
You out smart me, my revenge is from the core of my heart.
If you are good to me, I shall be there for you from the core of my heart.
If you belittle me, I will show you your place from the core of my heart.
If you respect and regard me, I shall give you special place in my heart.
If you ignore me, you vanish from my emphatic heart.
If you hold my hand, trust me I will never let you fall.
If you push me, get ready for your down fall.
Yes, I am emotional. I think from my heart.
Yes, I am revengeful, I hate from my heart.
Yes, my eyes have the power to kill you, I look from my heart.
Yes, I am strong and daring, I have the purest heart.
No one can stop me, till I listen to my heart.

By the time you rolled up
I'd been walking for a couple of hours,
after the Grahamstown kids
were probably done with their lunch.
The back of your four-by-four
was the most comfortable place
I'd imagined I'd see that day.
And after a few good jokes
and some stupid ones too,
you dropped me at the YMCA,
promised to pick me up in an hour,
and sure enough you did.
Burgers and beer,
and the easy company
of a couple of familiar strangers,
guys a lot like me,
made a tiresome day go away.
You directed me to the best place
to put out my thumb in the morning,
and a few more good jokes,
and some stupid ones too,
led me to accept
that stumbling to East London,
wayward and tired,
had put me unexpectedly at ease.

Today I found a pack of holes
with invisible surrounds
I put them in a see through box
in theory out of bounds
If by chance you come across them
please leave them as they are
they're sorted for convenience
so as not to look bizarre
Treat them with respect and care
so important is their place
if not holed up away from sight
they disappear without a trace

Dragged multitude of boxes out yesterday.
Sorted them madly, pitching stuff willy-nilly.
My husband offered to take it all away.
Brought half back. Trusting him was really silly.

Sorted and Escorted Then Deported
Illegal immigrants all were sorted,
Out and they had been escorted,
Had occurred;
Crying heard,
Then did end up being deported.
So sad seeing a father being deported;
Crying children need to be comforted.

Heart Break Big Mistake
To me, had been become a big mistake;
Ended up in bad feelings and heartbreak;
Heard my son;
Want it done,
And leave her decision do have to make.

Perceive then Weave Through and Leave
Something was wrong which I would perceive,
Through differences in and out had to weave;
Time did pass by;
And so would sky;
She never would love me so soon did leave.
Jim Horn
Minds were permanently in place and set,
Which is something we will always regret;
Did deceive;
Had to leave.
Cry often and my eyes do seem so wet.

England is surely not my homeland,
But their accents and easy going ways,
Makes me want to board a ship,
Set Sail for better days!
I wonder if they'll see the Queen,
Phillip, Will, George or cute Kate?
Perhaps I too will get the chance,
Oh hurry Ship...Do..Not...Delay!
Cheers!
