The girl on the docks

Watching wave upon wave

Being washed out in vain

She stands upon the dock

In the soft drizzle of the rain

 

Her short summer dress

Clings to her body, wet

And in her eyes

A vague sign of regret

 

She leans forward

Bending over the slippery rail

Clutching tightly to it

Her hands once firm, now frail

 

She stares into the ocean

And what crosses her mind

Is the one who said he loves her

Is the one she left behind

 

Tears flow freely now and mix

With raindrops on her cheeks

The life she once had and knew

Is the one she now seeks

 

But still she clasps to the hope

Even thru this rainy weather

That soon she’ll return again

So they could be together

About a Boy and a Girl

She liked playing with fire

She always danced with the sun

Ferocious and fierce

And constantly on the run

 

Fearless she was

Yet gentle and meek

She knew her place on earth

And success she did seek

 

Then one day, she met a boy

Tall, dark haired with green eyes

A little slim, but handsome enough I’d say

And different from most other guys

 

They found trust in one another

An unbreakable bond they did build

That empty void within their hearts

Unexpectedly got filled

 

They shared common interests

Their signature was the form of a dove

If I wasn’t mistaken, then

I’d say they were in love

 

They dried each other’s tears

But mostly they were filled with laughter

Somehow that wasn’t enough

Still it was success she was after

 

In spite of all his effort to make her stay

She said she had to leave

In search for something greater

To his greatest grief

 

So the boy would sit up late at night

Rearranging the stars and the moon

Hoping she’ll read his message in the sky

To return to him soon

 

“I will wait for you”

Those were the words she was told

The boy would patiently count the days

For she’s the only one he longs to hold

 

Yes, there is this girl

She likes to play with fire

Then there is me – the boy

She is my every desire

Desperate – Longing

Empty

Devoid

Desolate

About to cave in

 

Painful

Aching

Burning

The itch under my skin

 

Desperate

Yearning

Wistful

You’re my greatest concern

 

Longing

Patiently

Waiting

For your safe return

Leeg

Leeg is die hemelruim

Van sterre wat verval

Leeg sonder die maan

Met sy helder ligstraal

 

Leeg is die beddings

Geen blaar of geen blom

Leeg is my wêreld

Donker, doof en stom

 

Leeg is die sonlig

Duister is die dag

Leeg is my woorde

Leeg is my lag

 

Ja, leeg is dit hier

Dolleeg sonder jou

Maar vol bly my hart

Waar ek jou hou
