Happiest Person Alive
You are glowing, Louise, Juliette said,
yes you are, and why, I smiled because
the indelible memory of Rudi’s return
from his marine research trip will for-
ever be with me
I never knew that natural feelings and
animal instincts bring so much joy, I
never realized that the mere fact of our
existence and desires fulfilled bring so
much ecstasy
I thought I should achieve in order to
enjoy life and feel happy, now I discover
that doing what comes naturally is the
most wonderful feeling of fulfillment and
brings me more joy
Than anything I ever achieved or accomplished
the primitive urge to simply exist in comfort and
joy fulfilled makes me the happiest person alive…

Chocolate Cake And Rudi
Chocolate cake and Rudi
and my life is complete
Rudi surmises if only
I had more chocolate
cake I would have felt
better all the time, he
says for a statue I have
amazing powers, I
forgot to say, I’m the
statue of Liberty!
I wonder, will too much
love scare him away?
If he takes another trip
out to sea, I’ll be a stow-
away; why should he
be a marine biologist?
Juliette says I mustn’t
love him so much to
prevent my heart being
broken, I said yea right
I’ll hate him already
and when I have kids
I’ll kick them around
to make sure I’ll never
miss them if they leave
me one day - that’s not
what I meant, she
declared, I said if I
cool down my love
so as to be prepared
For later strife – I’ll be
the cause of the rift,
what a brilliant self-
fulfilling prophecy…
Chocolate cake and Rudi
I’ll just love him to death
I missed him more than
life itself, while he was
gone the world stopped,
the sun went away, now
he is back, the sun came
out, I can see again…

A Gilded Anchor Enmeshed In Sea-Weed
A beautiful wedding dress, a wonderful gown,
a lovely pattern, a magical moment in time,
the dressmaker frowned when she heard the
wedding would be on the beach, but that’s
too bad, now she is shortening the hem and
taking the scallops away, but I’ll still have
scallops and pearls on the bodice - and a
pearly headdress
Rudi says he’ll hire a tuxedo, but he’ll roll up
the legs, leave his shoes at home, the pastor
frowned also but smiled when we showed him
the makeshift structure in which we can be
married in sand; Juliette will be a happy
bridesmaid, happily gazing at Werner
I want to carry a concoction of seaweed
and other nautical things, Rudi asked
what about a little anchor in gold and
laughed, he gave me an idea, now
we’ll see his surprise when I pitch up
carrying my gilded anchor enmeshed
in sea-weed
Juliette wanted to add a ship’s figurehead;
adding mermaids as a theme, I sternly told
her she could do that when she marries
herself, if on the beach I will assist, other-
wise she’ll have to be on her own
I can’t wait to see the dressmaker today, a
wedding on beach is the second most
wonderful idea I’ve ever had in my life –
the first one, of course, was saying yes
when Rudi proposed…

Life is Music And Love
Listening to Cavaliera Rusticana, Rudi’s
favourite, I don’t know it well, male voices
like hobos and flutes, golden shine in the
brown hues, silver sopranos flashing in deep
ocean water, the music calls for conducting
moving to the music, Rudi’s arms around me
I love him, love the music, vibrantly alive, a
celebration of life, rhythm and notes bring
love to me, music enclosing everything, a
framework that confers meaning, Rudi’s
voice a velvet cloth in which he wraps me
safely, soft, warm, caressing my heart
Spinning a safety net, catching me when I
fall into nightmares, building a bulwarks
against fear for the future, against the pain
of being born sinful, being incomplete – he
brings completion and infinity, the most
wonderful feeling of security, music and
Harmony, I fly on your music, swaying to
the beat, life is music and love to me…

Pain
Pain—sharpen but yet dull and painless.
So numb to the pain given to my body that instead of rejecting it, my heart automatically accepts the pain.
Like medicine to the soul, pain seems to be my healer.
Pain seems to bring together life and death.
Pain seems to soothe the soul because without Pain I would be weak: timid: short: and unfulfilled.
You see pain is needed to make a person stronger.
Pain is needed to make a person un-afraid of hurt.
Pain is needed to make a person stand up, be proud and walk tall because they are more certain of the future.
Pain is needed to make one feel more fulfilled.
All because of these feelings my heart becomes full but it brings me back to the root cause: PAIN.
This 4 letter word causes hearts to be crushed relentlessly. It dishevels emotions once grounded and bruises egos. Pain.
Pain. My painkiller.
Pain. My happy endings.
Pain. My way out.
Pain. My life.

The color of the dream
dreams are made of color, according to one own perception
and experience, neither each dream are just a simple one,
nay, it is only a fruit of illusion or a product of hallucination,
but the fact remain, that it is always a part our life
in dream, our imagination creates, the things that we want too,
the impossible becomes a reality to grasp, the satisfaction, that
brings and leads us to achieve the things we dream off, it is
the end where our commitment begins
so real, that each parts of the body move, to concretize, what we
aim for in life, it might be impossible but the minds that initiate,
has made everything making the best of it, possible to exist,
a fulfillment that the body, the soul has come to join in force, to
satisfy the illusion of the mind
in our life, all are just started in dream, the future of our existence,
are pattern in this kind of imagination, a concept, a notion that
comes to being, a creation of God, that until today the fulfillment
has yet to come, when everything will be done in his own purpose
and destiny
we will never be perfected our dream until we give meaning of
what we share, we lend, we take, and live, each of us has to
make our dream, according to what is pleasing in our sight, it
is a call to paint our work for this end product of beauty will brings
us to the creation of the one who give and thought our eyes to
create our own dream ,
our being, is the most perfect ingredients in the color of our dream
for in every drops of stroke of brush, the elements of harmony,
create, the beauty of our existence in this wonderful universe, making
the creation prefect, a fulfillment of the promise of God
dream as you wish, live as you create, paint it with different color,
for only in painting your life will shined, and emulate other to light
the true meaning of the wonder of creation of life
' be an ingredients of color for others to dream '

Love Makes You Strong Or Weak
what is love many people say I love you but what is really love.
love make you feel great
love make you smile, but what is love without feeling it.
love makes you fly so high but what is love when makes you fall. love makes you strong but at the same time makes you weak. love but not too much beause if you love your feelings might be hurt but if you dont love you never know what is love.
love make you do things not matter the consecuenses even thought the consecuenses can damage your life. dont let your feelings be destroy by someone who dont deserve your love, love the one that suffers when you are sad, love the one that would risk his life in order to save yours.love the one that is always near to you dont try to find love so far because love can be near. we have to love in order other person loves us.what is love without feeling it.

My Only Measure
He went back to work, I fell asleep, when
he returned, I had cleaned the flat and all
the dishes, feeling sleepy, but oh, so happy,
blue eyes shining, seeing his delight, offered
him a pre-dinner drink, a meal for a king, he
loved it, I’m not domesticated, this is special,
he kissed my hands, my face, my everything
I kissed him back, life is GOOD when you have
someone to love, not simply a sex toy, which
is good enough, everyone assures me, but I’m
the old-fashioned kind, while full well realizing
sex per se is meaningless, I love adding it as zest
to my love relationship with Rudi, he is someone
special, far beyond mere romance
Yet, he is romance incarnate, that will change, all
assure me, it is a chemical reaction, short-lived –
just until I conceive and have his child – then he’ll
turn his attention elsewhere, every time I come
across this cynical assessment I cry again, it is so
sad and threatening, why did my mother die when
I was born – did she feel rejected already
Did she know of the cynical opinions to come? I’m
scared of life, Rudi is my breastplate, his loyalty to
our relationship my only measure to determine
where I am …

Even More Domineering
I love Rudi’s protectiveness, Juliette says
I’m a disgrace to all feminists, I love his
jealousy while Juliette points out that she
is the great beauty, not I, she has the hair,
seriously beautiful hair, long legs and big
blue eyes; while I have soft hair, light-sen-
sitive eyes and short legs and a non-sexy
smile, Juliette has been crowned first
princess in a beauty pageant
She mockingly threatens to steal Rudi from
me, he’s much too handsome and I’m much
too clinging, she says, but I disagree, I asked
him could he have chosen Juliette if he had
met her first, he burst out laughing and said
not on your life, I don’t care for eyes, legs and
hair, but about what’s inside, I asked him if
he loved what’s inside me more
than the outside –
He replied, I love what’s inside AND I adore
the package in which you arrived, he kissed
my non-glamorous hair and my light-sensitive
eyes and said he liked the fire that lived inside,
he kissed my non-sexy smile and said the love
in the line of my lips drove him wild, I asked him
about my being too dependent and forcing him
to be domineering, using Juliette’s arguments;
he decided then and there
To become even more domineering instead
and marched me off to bed…

After
After us, what then?
Will the earth go on
and never end?
All that grew under the sun
every last thing, every last one
will change for a while
until we know
the way the earth needs us
to help it grow.
We plant the flowers.
We plant the seed.
So all that live here
will have their need
fulfilled.
We were creators while alive.
Most of us worked from nine to five.
Generations of humans laughed and cried
and watched while one by one we died.
We made the music.
We formed the art
so all that lived here
could keep their heart
fulfilled.
After us, what then?
Will the earth pray
and say Amen
to all who walked upon her ground?
Or bring us back because she found
she loves us.

Animal Song
I am an animal
Proud to be one as I walk on the naked earth
My animal limbs and my whole body free
Free from the constraints of human society
Free from the chains of cultural identity
Free from the guilt of the original sin
I am filled with the pleasure of being alive
I thus embrace all which is animal in me
On each breath I take I am one with animal nature
I cast aside all symbols that mankind invented to enslave
And all the absurd religions and arrogant ceremonies
I live only to see my reflection on the purity of nature
I live to run, swim, or fly with all beasts
I rejoice as my feet sink in the primeval muck of existence
And exude the essence of all my ancestors
I sing with each breath I take
I sing to my own materiality
I am made of seas, clouds and mountains and all natural phenomena
I let extinguish forever all feelings of shame
The corrupting images of the supernatural
And the inherited instincts of cruelty and power
I reject the notion that heavy labor ennobles
When in fact was created to submit and humiliate
I bow or pray to no one.
I sing to nature and to my animal freedom.

I Never Knew
I never knew
That I hurt your feelings
When I never went out with you
You knew that I love you
You thought I was joking about how I felt for you, but I wasn’t
I just want to be with you only
Baby its, surprising when you want to go out with me because
I didn’t expect guy like you to have feelings for me and want to be with me
You want to give it chance to see if work
I thought you were that guy who is like whatever I’m over it, but
I guess I was wrong, you felt something and
You have connection with me like I did with you
We were perfect for each other
No one get us like we do
You did what you did because of that
You were the one for me
We were opposite and
Opposite attract by longer we spend in classes together and
Learn so much about each other
It's an amazing feeling
We were like fire and ice
We never see eye to eye
I remember how I love you
Then I pretend like I didn’t
When I meet you again
I start liking you all over again
I never knew
You mean so much to me until this day
I never knew
You could be the one to impact me and change me for who I'm
You are the only person special to me after all
It’s hard to walk away from the one you love the most and
Have deep connection with
If I could have one wish
Is for us to be together and give it chance
To see if it was meant to be
No one can take away the feeling I have about you and replace you
That how good and wonderful person you are to me
I never knew
I miss that smile and laugh
I make you miserable and make feel like you were nothing to me
I don’t want to go out with anyone, but you
I blow it big time and losing you is like losing something value to you
I was young and navigate
I know what I did was wrong
Is was what I have to do
I know you been through a lot, but
You weren’t what I expect
I can move on with my life
I never knew

Joy and Anger
Joy is an overwhelming feeling to be happy,
But more, To feel so delighted with God, you see;
It's an awesome happiness, that makes one delighted within,
A life so pleased and coping cause God's taken away their sin.
Anger is a time of hurts, and feelings of terrible fury,
That you just see everything negative, one's mind is blurry;
It gets one so mad at everyone who'll disagree with you,
And all you do, is to get into a tether, and end in a stew.
Joy is like a rainbow, such beauty and glowing for all to see,
It makes one laugh, To feel delighted at the smallest bee;
It's a gift from the Lord, That remains with you to share,
And when you think it's enough, there's plenty always to spare.
Anger will get one down, it's like a black cloud that won't go away,
But if we don't deal with it, anger will be in your subconscious to stay;
Anger can cause one to bring much strife more than you need,
So please deal with it first, go to God, and certainly plead.

Love Endures Beyond This Life
A dream wedding it was, Juliette’s correct mother wriggling
her toes in the sand, everyone breaking out of their normal
stance, romantic Rudi complimenting me as I met him on
the edge of the sea, he loved my dress, lack of make-up,
no trimmings that seem so irksome and unnecessary, he
loved my veil and anchor, saying so much, the pastor had
to silence him to conduct the service, I didn’t listen, my head
too full of beautiful thoughts, blue sky, sunshine, white sand,
enticing sea, finally said I do, a beach braai, ran into the
waves, went to a club afterwards where we danced, muted
music romantic, Rudi whispering kamasutra for you and me,
I love the idea, I love life and all the world, I love Rudi in terms
I cannot express, driving off, leaving the rest, discovering new
intimacy, proud of making a contract to take care of each other,
joyous in creating a new life, willing to stake my life on Rudi,
willing to live I Corinthians 13 with him – love forgives
everything, hopes everything, gives everything, love
endures beyond this life…

For The First Time
When I am around you I feel right
When I look in your eyes
At that moment I like you
For the first time
I realized something I never knew before with anyone else
You make me feel like I'm luckiest girl in the world
You are so special to me
I don't know we meet here, but I'm happy we did
You make me love you like noone else ever did
Every time I get near you
My heart beat mile a minute
When I look in your eyes
I get that feeling that I never felt with anyone else
For the first time
You make me for who I am and happy
You make me love you each and everyday
You are an amazing person ever
Its feel like a miracle that we end up at same school
I'm happy we did
Because everything change and I know you feel same way I do

You make me love you like noone else ever did
Every time you right there
I feel like we the only two people in this world
When I look in your eyes
I feel that sparks between us
For the first time
I feel so different and new me
You make me want to be with you each and everday
I will never forgot you
I'm happy fate brought us together
You are my soulmate
When you are around me
I feel just right
When I look in your eyes
Its make me feel like I want to blush
For the first time
I realized something I never knew before
I feel so special
I will always love you
I wish I knew how all this happen but I'm happy it did
You are missing piece of me

Vengeance
a melodic sound,
that satisfies
the urge of
satisfaction
it is a fulfillment of
one's inner
shade of revenge
the sting that makes
every moment a
happiness to
remember
nay, my soul rejoices
in pain. a backdrop
that i bring to eternity
am i loser or a winner?
the passion that brings me
the heart to see

The Things That Make Me Happy
When I see the Sun
The sun up in the sky
And when the rays they
They glisten off your eyes
And when your eyes
Yeah when your eyes meet mine
That’s the thing that
That’s the thing that makes me
Yeah that’s the thing that makes me happy
And when I wake up to
To a brand new day
When we back our bags and
We take off on our way
And when we lose track
When we lose track of time
That’s the thing that
That’s the thing that makes me
Yeah that’s the thing that makes me happy
And when the clock
Yeah when the clock strikes 5
I’m heading home to you
And I’m feeling so alive
And when I pull in
Yeah when I pull into your drive
That’s the thing that
That’s the thing that makes me
Yeah that’s the thing that me happy
And in the afternoon
When were feeling the warm breeze
And we can see it
Go brushing through the trees
It makes me feel so
It makes me feel so fancy free
And that’s the thing that
That’s the thing that makes me
Yeah that’s the thing that makes me happy
And when the music
Goes rolling through my mind
Songs that could bring
Eyesight to the blind
And when we sing
We sing along with all the words we find
That’s the thing that
That’s the thing that makes me
Yeah that’s the thing that makes me happy
