Never was there any reason
To whistle a tune or sing along
Yet I’ve always found myself
Singing to a song
Until that very day
That you came into my life
I figured I was just a wild bird
Calling for its wife

Passion…
It’s something that fuels the fire
It turns a spark into a flame
It can transform the sweetest kitten
Into a beast that’s impossible to tame
It’s what converts a pond into a river
Wild rapids that flows fast and swirls
It’s a thing that causes flat backs to arch
And straight toes to curl
It’s a force that not only makes your body quiver
But also allows your whole world to quake
It’s a runaway train on a downslope
That has no intention to brake
It’s a play that, when performed
Leaves the crowd screaming “encore”
It’s an adventure with delightful trails
That leads to pleasurable valleys to explore
Passion…
It’s an action with many consequences
A deed that won’t be overlooked
It’s a way of making love to another
Try it, I guarantee you’ll be hooked
Dronkende gedagtes
Jy deurdrenk my gedagtes
Dis jy wat my denke verdrink
As ek myself soek en weer vind
Vind ek dis jy waaraan ek weer dink
Want jy spoel my brein
My begrip betower jy
My verstand word verbluf
En volkome verlei
My gedagtes raak dronk van jou
Op jou bly ek ‘n glasie klink
Keer op keer op keer is dit jy
Wat ek in my beker skink
Jy beroof my van my sinne
Steel my gedagtes soos ‘n dief
En sou jy dit dan ontrafel en lees
Sal jy weet ek is verlief
My gedagtes loop oor van jou
My gedagtes is verslaaf aan jou
Love is…
Love never get spoiled
Love has no expiry date
Love never arrives on time
Nor is it early, nor is it late
Love is everything it should be
Yet it’s nothing what it seems
For some, love is a reality
For others it only exists in their dreams
Love is the world’s most wanted
Being both a criminal and saint
Love, they say, will set you free
Yet it will keep you restrain
Love sometimes seems to be
A false preacher that leads us astray
But love is really a compass
To guide us on the right way
Love is a fortune
That even the poor possess
Love is a free prescription
A drug for the depressed
Love is a helpless stranger
Who knocks on our front door
Love never expect love in return
But always hands out more
Love is life’s greatest treasure
Love is life’s most valuable piece of art
That can’t be found in no rich man’s vault
But can only be kept safe in the heart
Behep met die maan
Sit jou hand in myne
Kom saam met my op ‘n ruimtereis
Ek wil die eindelose wydte
Van my liefde vir jou wys
Daar sal ons gly op sonstrale
En land op ‘n sekelmaan – wip en wieg
Swaai-swaai aan die hemelruim se balke
Ons ken nie die verskil tussen val en vlieg
Kom saam met my na die buitenste ruim
Daar waar die son nooit sak en verdwyn
Ons liefde sal so warm en helder bly
Soos ‘n duisend sterre wat verewig skyn
Die heelal kan ons speelgrond wees
Maar in jou hart sal ek my tuiste maak
Elke aand sal eindig met ‘n Oerknal
Elke keer as my lippe joune raak
Saam sal ons sweef soos twee planete
In een enkele wentelbaan
Want was ons nie maar nog altyd behep met die sterre
En meer gepla met die maan?
You Are…
You’re the sweetest thing
You’re the sugar in my coffee
And if you were an activity
You’d be my dearest hobby
You’re the sun’s warm touch
On a cold winter’s day
You’re a bee’s favourite flower
In every bouquet
You’re that silly old love song
That keeps getting stuck in my head
You’re that cosy blanket on a rainy day
That makes me want to stay in bed
You’re the chocolate in the box
The one I’m saving for last
You’re that memory I want to relive
From years gone past
You’re the song that calms me
A soothing melody
You’re my inspiration
When I write my poetry
You’re my hope, my light
My dream I pursue
You’re the girl I fell in love with
My every wish come true
We have found each other
With no warning, out of the blue
You reached in unexpectedly
You’ve heard my heart’s cries
You have found me
When I wasn’t looking for you
You were wandering around blindly
Then the next thing you knew
We have found each other
For I have found you
When you weren’t looking for me
So let us be led by love
Until we are together
I’ve found you and you’ve found me
A bond that would last forever
Carefully moulded by our Father above
We have found one another
On that very fateful day
We have found one another
In more than one way
Let’s sleep naked again
Winter has been defeated
It’s time to come out and play
Soon we’ll spend the hours
Chasing shadows every day
Fully charged and burning
Awaken from her hibernation
The sun fills the air
With summer’s sweet vibration
The days are one fire
And so the nights are too
Uncomfortable and sweaty
It’s hard to see them through
The sheets are burning
And keeping you awake
So here’s a piece of advice
You might want to take
Dispose of your pajamas
And let fly your night gown
Make sure no one’s watching
And don’t give me that frown!
The time is now
So don’t ask me when
Uncover your bare skin
Let’s sleep naked again!
In Love
I was comfortably walking
Neither flying, nor crawling
Then out of the blue
You tripped me
The next thing I knew
I was falling
I was falling fast for you
You gave me a new direction
You send me spiraling down
Tumbling from above
Now I didn’t mean to jump
Instead you gave me a shove
I didn’t expect to swim, so I’ll drown
Drown from this thing called being IN LOVE
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
