Streel Poems | Examples


Raak jy aan my - English translation included

Raak jy aan my

Die more son is ‘n kus op my wang
So sag soos ‘n veer, raak jy aan my
met die son en maak my verlang,

Die straal in die maan lig, streel my oë
So sag en teer, raak jy aan my
dat ek jou sien met ander oë.

Die wind waai en my omhels
So hou jy my vas, raak jy aan my
Ek voel jou soos ‘n pels,

Die blomme ruik soos jy
Met die reuk van roos, raak jy aan my
Die blomblaare sag, voel soos jy,

Die reën en hael, storm wat woed
Wat oor my spoel, raak jy aan my
Ek voel jou hier binne my bloed.     
      

Touch me

The morning sun is a kiss on my cheek
As soft as a feather, you touch me
with the sun and stir my longing,

The ray in the moonlight strokes my eyes
So gentle and tender, you touch me
so I may see you with different eyes.

The wind blows and embraces me
So you hold me close, you touch me
I feel you like a fur,

The flowers smell like you
With the scent of rose, you touch me
The flower petals soft, feel like you,

The rain and hail, storm that rages
That washes over me, you touch me
I feel you here within my blood.

Gewete

GEWETE.

Hoe jy nie in die lug bly hang nie
jou koue greep , harde hale
en tussen die droe takke le jy vir my en glimlag 
en daar  skiet die hemel oop

oplaas `n warm wind
wat streel streel jou koue asem weg blaas
en hoor nou net die kore van `n oggend lied 
bring die lente stuk stuk terug 

met eens die verlede lank klaar verby
en sit ek weer in die oggend strale
ek hou jou briesie op `n afstand weg 
lag lag fluit die lente blare 

skoon is die lug met aand sterre skitter 
diep asems en tande kners 
stok styf span die rug want
skielik hoor ek jou nog sag sag vir my vluister.
