The eye searches for shapes. It searches for a beginning, a middle, and an end.

Everyone Wants A Home
Everyone wants a home,
a place of rest and tranquillity,
to lay down a tired body in the evening,
where there is only peace and love,
everyone searches for somewhere to come back to,
for a place in the whole universe,
as a small piece of property
where no shadows fall.
Everyone searches for a piece of sun
that always burns in the blue sky
and if we could
for the hand of a darling
and far too quickly our days pass
until all things at a time ends.

Early Works - I See
As I sit upon a hill
so very still
looking up at the sky
I see a bird fly
as it glides and veers
and only the breeze
whistling through the trees
it hears.
I see the sun die
as it goes to sleep
where the sky an earth both meet.
I see too the clouds so high
making ghostly figures in the sky.
I see also the shadows on the ground
blackening things all around.
Darkness is creeping in now
as small creatures find shelter somehow,
the night now is near
and only an owl can one hear
as he searches and searches
for food through the night.

The Undue Glory
A singer searches different channels
And retains traces of music found good
In the music that he has composed.
A writer searches different sources
And retains traces of portions found good
In the essays that he has developed.
Thus comes glory to artists unduly.

Our Memories
Sometimes we sit in a chair,
while across our face
falls a vacant stare.
Our mind searches our memories,
and worlds within there.
It searches the faces of old friends,
who are no longer here,
looking for happy times,
we enjoyed long ago.
Then for a brief few moments,
the memories surface
from the back roads of our mind,
and those happy times and old friends
are back with us once again.

Never Feed Your Body With The Dead Soul
If dreams break even in a dream
Yet you get hurt in your heart
The body is lying like a log
The soul is dead in frosty fog
So dare to dream in a dream
As the soul searches life
The life searches dream
The dream is the cream of life.
let the dream to break down never
Rather get it move like a super car
Stretch it like a synthetic rubber
Make sure that the soul is never dead
And the body is never dead soul fed.

The Keeper Of Dreams
The keeper of dreams
dishes them out.
He searches and finds
the sleepers in doubt
and delivers strange
and frightful ones
to all the daughters, all the sons
that live their lives
unfaithfully
making them atone
unmercifully.
Strange and nightmarish scenes
he does send,
making their days and nightimes blend.
He searches and finds
the sleepers who know
all about love
and to make it go
into the lives
of all they meet,
lessening their troubles
and helping defeat
their loneliness.
To these he delivers
dreams of calm
and soothes their brows
with annointed balm,
making their days
and nights never end.

Epistle to NP Van Wyk Louw
I see the wise old man
pacing his study
with a hot fire raging in the fireplace,
where manuscripts lie disorderly,
in an order that only makes sense to him,
reading verses of other poets,
always searching for something
like a religious fanatic searches for truth,
helping other poets, like the great mentor
(that he still is after his demise)
writing exceptionally great poems,
believing that a poet
is someone like a prophet, a kind of saint
who searches both for truth
and expresses the abyss,
knowing that poetry is no struggle,
that the words, the structure to them
comes by itself as if given
like a communication
received from the gods
with the evangelistic advise
to rather examine
from which spirit
the inspiration comes.

His Voice Only
Rest my voice...
In fast and scattered passages.
Too many choices,
My mind searches from within.
Let me hear His voice.
His voice only...
I choose for me now.
His voice only...
Let 'it' sink in!
Let me realize my eyes are His too!
To 'see' what it is I need,
And what I should and should not do!
My purpose and worth,
Will with Him increase.
I want to hear His voice only.
And let my life upon His wishes feast!
Rest my voice...
In fast and scattered passages.
Too many choices,
My mind searches from within.
Let me hear His voice.
His voice only...
I choose for me now.
His voice only...
Let 'it' sink in!
Deeper,
Within me somehow!

Best
He knows
He got
The best
From me.
He
Searches it
In other
Women.
He can't
Get it
From
Them.
What a
Pity!
He can't
Come back
To me ;)

Light House
the light searches out
it doesn't ask for rewards
if in need, it is there
a constant reminder-
out of the shadows it draws...
those lost souls
for Mers
i know that
all that you want to read are just short lines
you have no time
for stretched searches for meanings
crisp is always tasty
brief is sexy
i know that.
