Briefie aan n wegloop kind

Aan you skryf ek n briefie
in die hoop dat jy dit sal kry.
Ek sal nie vir jou soek nie
jys nie meer gelukkig by my.

Die briefie se nie veel nie
klein om in jou sak te dra.
in die hoop dat jy eendag sal terug kom
en dit self vir my kan vra.

Sonder tierlanteintjies
geskryf op geel papier.
Die hoekies effens om gekril
onderaan met trane versier.

Ek wou maar net se ek mis jou
verewig aan my gebind.
My deure staan altyd oop vir jou
ek wag vir jou my wegloop kind.

Ek wens jy kan my vergewe
ek wou jou graag net hier he.
Ek is ook nie foutloos
as ek maar net kon jammer se.

Onthou ek is lief vir jou
waar ook al jy mag bly.
In my hart is daar geen kwaad vir jou
alle liefies....

van my.

Kindjie klein

Pappa vat sy sakdoek
en vee die reen uit my gesig.
Terwyl ek voor hom staan
en my ogies op na hom toe rig.

Pappa is my "hero"
en ek is jou kindjie klein.
Ek dra nie rokkies nie
want Jesus maak my hartjie rein.

Pappa vat sy sakdoek
en vee die trane uit my oe.
Grood word krap my siel om
en gooi my lewe onderste bo.

Pappa bly my "Hero"
al raak ek soms so kwaad.
N goeie begrip kry n halwe woord
ek wens pa wil met my praat.

Pappa vat sy sakdoek
en druk dit in my hand.
Terwyl ek by hom in haak
tot voor die predikant.

Pappa is altyd my "Hero"
en ek bly verewig jou kindjie klein.
Die sakdoek van pa
was altyd die pad na my hartjie rein.

About this poem:
My pa dra altyd n lap sakdoek en hoe dit n rol in my lewe gespeel het van kind af tot volwassenheid.Ek bly ver van my ouers af en ek soul my ingewande op die swart mark verkoop net om weer my pa se sakdoek in my hand te kon hou. Sulke dinge beteken meer op die einde van die dag as e-mails, cell fone, global warming of al die gefaf oor goed wat ons regtig nie in beheer is van nie

Hidden Pride

You've grown tall and filled out some
Earned the stripes worked not won
And now of only twenty three my son
Recognition has become

I wish I could turn back time
Repair a life that wasn't mine
And spend those precious seconds fine
That would be sublime

All I knew was how to work
Roof and food my alert
My priorities had gone beserk
How life can make you a jerk

Distance made our life sour
A relationship bent on respect is dour
I never meant for you to cower
For you were always my finest hour

Days roll by and I never hear
You live a life of no fear
My memories of you are dear
And hold you in my heart near

You carry on as you can
You had a vision part of your plan
It wasn't hard to understand
Time was the greatest demand

The accolades come thick and fast
Respect from peers reward at last
The magic weaved from spell cast
A way to heal the past

But ne'r forget from whence you came
Our blood is thick it is the same
You walk your path to keep you sane
The world your oyster the pearl your gain.......

what a joy to behold,
always my little baby,
forever my little princess,
forever holding a part of my heart,
my life time your so precious,
a treasure of all treasures,
to cherish her with all my heart,
an angel my daughter,
who in every day i believe in,
you my little angel,
forever my child,
you will live with me,
all of your life,
in my heart,
in a special place there,
reserved for you,
my diamond,my jewel,
a treasure i once held,
my princess,
my beautiful daughter,
at home in my heart,
with a father who loves you

The Portrait (Shadow’s Challenge)

Hung in an odoriferous old attic
Unobtrusive eyes painted with mystique
Her portrait still hung like an odd megalith
Wearing a brilliant hat festooned with feathers
That hung like tassels from ancient cloth
A smile that irrigated love through time
Sitting next to a most foliaceous urn
Playing an ancient harmonium
A forgotten song effectively silenced
By the passage of time

About this poem:
This was quite entertaining as I was inspired to create an illusion of an old portrait that I imagined being stored in an attic of a Victorian age subject.

Prodcast.. to be added to.. chalange from Mr James

Her hair curled in soft ringlets down her back, her crinoline dress tight at her waist holding her upright, the miles of fabric below spread out on the soft green grass as she sits lost in her thoughts. Her breasts raise and fall softly as she breaths, her cheeks rosy and flushed as her mind wonders to him, the Man who boldly walked up to her at the ball and without even knowing him or saying a word and in front of everyone there. Not caring who saw, his hand lifted and slid behind her neck, he pulled gently and her head fell back, her eyes looked inside his soul, he smiled gently and leaned towards her almost in slow motion, he captured her lips for a second in time and she was lost....

Bits and Pieces

A shrunken elderly man sits in his comfy chair
his mind wanders far back through the many years
he thinks back to the former ladies and that affair
one his wife discovered, what a fuss, so now he adheres

not that it matters much any longer, she is long gone
ah that affair, the thought brings a sparkle to his eye
she was surely a really bonny lass wearing her Saigon
startling eyes of dazzling blue, graceful as a butterfly

he chuckled at his thoughts and enjoyed his memories
even if he could not walk now unless he was assisted
no-one could take his thoughts, he still did his ditties
which made people laugh as they read what he jotted

a scholar of life he had been, a couple of books he had written
he had travelled to many far away and exotic remote places
he remembered a bushman, they had tea and he was bitten
by a swarm of ants, he shook them out and did up his laces

each one happy, with treasures that time could not dim
but most of all these days, he liked all the visits he got
from his daughter and the grandkids loved hugging him
beams all over their faces shining out like a kumquat

as day turned to night he thought to himself, I have lived my life
without squandering or wasting it, I took great pleasure from it
definitely shared plenty with others, really enjoyed the nightlife
what more can one ask at the end of the day when its time to submit

work & life

Work is nothing more than what you have to do

But love and family is what is better for you

Relationship and friendship is the best way of going on

But nothing compares to have a little smiling son

Nature is what we have for our life

But without the sun nothing shine

Love your family and be quiet, that our life is short till died

For my little angel

I was hiding my tears,
i didn't want her to see
and cry my tears with me.
I want her smile
to bloom on her lips
and stars to sparkle
in her her eyes.
Its hard but will be fine.
I will handle it again
one more time.
She is my little girl
with an angel`s soul
she is my whole life
and my reason to survive.
