I write this



I write this for me:
To imprint your gaze
behind the curtain of your eyes,
The sudden smile
when they notice me

I write this for me:
As arms connect
the line of a shoulder
and fade into a curl of hair,
A grey of beard
that patterns a cheek
on the kiss that I seek

I write this for me:
To remember skin loving skin
-the tremble within-
A sensation of touch
feeding my eye that adores
each hair on a torso
as it grows to the hip

I write this for me:
To endure the longing,
the touch of a hand
that stirs a harmony
within my soul,
connects with a scent
that surrounds the aura of you

I write this for me:
To echo an accent
when you’re not here
which silences my answer to mere wonder
and locks my lips to no word

I write this for me:
When your fingers strum a sound
that reaches into my burning soul
buried achingly deep,
and share the feed

I write this for me:
Because I know how infinite
your barrier always will be

White Lace and Mink

Who is this Wolf
like Vampire like
Person living in His
fantasy world when She arrives,
promising Her the world
-everlasting contact-
?
Will She become another
one
of His peculiar characters
?
: a feather predicts
on a sombre wind,
whistling secrets

HeArT

he sat on the ground
picking wooden hearts from a bowl
shaping his torment into
an elongated teardrop-shaped
heart
(unwillingly)

the wind bruised
instead of breezed
trees haunted
instead of hushed
oceans whipped a foam
instead of whispering.
Sensation of sound
unexpectedly became noise

and silenced the heart shaped song
called Love

ontwaking

daar's 'n stilte in
alleen wakker word.
daar's 'n enkel verlange in alleen le en dink.
daar's 'n nood
in een wees met jouself.
daar's 'n eensaamheid
in die oggendson se belofte
-van 'n nuwe begin-
wat daagliks
dodelik
voorspel sonder sin

Poem to self

have you ever caught a smile?

a rhythm entered
her harmony
movement
and moving on
shifted
gypsy to emerge,
a Mehndi ironically encircles
teardrops,
time hovers outside
in a picture of images
-suddenly clearly colourful-
Past Tense

this journey
gently closes her door
completes a circle:
circling a tear
and tearing

have you ever caught a smile?

Nasmaak voorsmakie

1) Straatlig ontmoeting

Twee wolwe het mekaar ontmoet
en sonder woord mekaar passievol begroet
hul liefdesspel dringend en lomp gedans
onder die straatlig se geheime glans

Die stad se lig het verlangs slaperig
die nagtelike misterie van verlore tyd verklap
- 'n onheilspellende straatligskynsel teen haar pels -
Hy effe bedwelm maar steeds gereed om te omhels

Met die klank van sy huil - sy ekstase of sy leed?
wat vir 'n oomblik alle tydsbesef verbreek
ontvang sy die hunkering, so delikaat en teer
Baklei teen die tragedie wat hul eenheid keer

Ek merk die beangste verskrikking toe mense hul dans ontbloot
en elk na eie eensame verkeer verstoot
en tog kyk hulle - in hul trans - vlugtig om
en voel die ander se genot: verstom

2) Onvoltooide gedagtes

woorde warboel die chaos
in my gemoed,
ontbind 'n liggaam
verslae afgeknot

tot nuwe groei
(deur jou tong betower)
die sagte soeke van jou stem
omhelsend vrede bring
en die honger van jou kyk praat:
maak oop jou boek,
ek wil jou lees

3) ensemble

Onderdeel van 'n musikale komposisie
soos 'n harmonie van dans
Kaalvoet
met bewing
vurig kragtig
verander soeke in vonds
Vingers tril
Tref
'n oog word tot traan ontroer
Harmonieus
halt als 'n oomblik bewegingloos in tyd
hou ek die are van jou liefde vas
Kyk
Sielsig
Wetend
Stilswyend
Intens
Bang om die oomblik te breek
het ons duet die aarde vir 'n oomblik laat stilstaan

4) hou my vas

Hou my vas in jou omhelsing
Voed my siel met jou vreugde
Vou jou arms om my vrese
Vul my met jou energieke entoesiasme
Kalmeer my met jou kyk
Troos my met jou towerwoorde
Hou my in jou koesterende arms
Hou my vas
Hou my asseblief net vas

Vul my
Voed my
Vat my
Maak my joune

5) Dans

Kom dans met my.
Ek is wreed.
Met elke beswyming in jou arms
laat my net weer vergeet.
Dwarrel my in jou ritme.
Maak my dronk in jou draaie.
Laat jou kyk in my soeke val.
Help my ontvlug.
Lei my voete op die punte van joune.

Help my hardloop.
Ek is baie wreed

6) Seer

o here dit maak so seer
elke herinnering reen soos 'n vuishou op my neer
dit verdrink my in die smart
my volle wese van my afgevat

Moving

they're all moving
mumbling
laughing
chattering
chewing
trying
flying
lying
punishing
drinking

and not
listening

at all.

stop.
