Some of my poems

[Ladysphinx]

CRY OF THE WOLF
Boisterous wind full the earth
The moon rises like a giant pearl
Against a wall of black satin
How harsh this callous world can be
Noises of small creatures making this
Ancient world seem not so cruel

Green eyes full of emotion and fear
Hunting and being hunted
Beasts with a song like a dirge
Filled with pain and enigma of life
The weeping soul of odious poignancy
Untamed life of the meek wolf

Let them live in peace for tonight
The sun bringing them an aurora
Of colours into the lonely sky
The ending of an old night and
The beginning of a new day
Here they walk the walk of life

SINGLE YELLOW ORCHID
Sliver box filled with lettters
Winter song upon her heart
One single Orchid in her hand
Flower of bitter sadness
Panting for what is lost

Eyes blind in the darkness
Seeing what is left of love
Softly whispering his name
Reaching out for bitter sweet memories
Embittering herself for this pain

A sunset that she missed
Candle light now her company
They chattered before she left
The yellow Orchid on a grave
Untimely death of tender love

SUN AND MOON
An aurora of colours perplexing to the eyes
Grow as the ancient sun lies down to sleep
Giving one last look over the shinning world
Her enigma for all to see like a virago to earth
Soon she will retire to her citadel of complicity
Her face lucid now to disappear into darkness

Then like a nymph the moon will come out
To dance on the relics of the world so meek
Her angelic body glowing in the sacred sky
Stars will glimmer like thousands of diamonds
Keeping us company at night forever
In a fragile and shy nirvana of life

THE PHOENIX
Her soft wings flutter so gently
Wings burning with power
She looks so innocent but her eyes burn cold
She is fearless but still beautiful
Her enigma burns like the sun

Under protecting flames are feathers of white
Radiant like a silwer light glowing
Aurora just like a shinning angel
Protector of what is sacred
Guarding the relics of a lost city

WAR OF A THUNDERSTORM
Turbulent winds rises from the north
Hollowing like a warrior's death cry
These winds causes a holocaust
As it races to a destination of nowhere

Deep dark clouds carried by winds
Filling the sky with the look
Of crude and immense power
Bringing the war of a thunderstorm

Thunder filling the air with a roaring rage
Like the drums of a war march
Electrifying the sky and earth
With the feeling of war and death

Lightning crashes down to earth
Like a raging fire striking out of heaven
Brought by God of anger to curse
The earth for the power of destruction

INSANE SANITY
Sometimes I want to run away
To a place where only I exist
This world is a cocoon I’m trapped within
My life is like a nightmare that never ends
My dreams shattered by the laws of life

Sometimes I wish I could fly away
And enter my dreams of escaping my entrapments
A world twisted because of senseless hate
Many nights in my bed loneliness
Overwhelms me just like the darkness

I hate my fears and fear my hates
Is my sanity insane or is my insanity sane?

A FLEEING MIND
Every mind takes off to another world
It flees trying to break loose
Away from it’s troubles and pain
Searching for a way to keep together
But reality is always existing
Always ready to taunt the mind

It’s hard to understand a fleeing mind
Mixed feelings is what it’s made of
Confusion that sticks to it
A silent scream can be heard
If you listen carefully to its heart

All it needs is to understand
To know why and how
And to see where to go
But the pain is like a mist


I wrote this poem after my daughter passed away:
MY SUNSHINE
You opened up my heart you changed my life
When you where born dawn moved it’s why into my life
Not because it was daybreak but because you were my sunshine
You shone your light into every ones life brightening our lives

You gave me something more special then life
You showed me what it truly feels like to love above love
You where as white as a dove clean from sin
You were a missing part in my life till you were born

Your heart was perfect and filled with love
You were the sunflower between the reeds
You were still so young when our holy father
Took you home to where we belong

I have many more but this is it for now.

These are very Beautiful I like your style and your poems really say something. I didn't know you had a child pass away. I'm sorry you lost your little one. DO you write on a regular basis?

 

[Badjedidude]

Good stuff!

 

[Ladysphinx]

Thx for the compliments. Yes I write on a regular basis, poetry is a vent for my feelings. I hope to someday publish a book with all my poems, but sometimes I think it is a dream that will never happen. I have a few Afrikaans poems too I should try to translate them into english. It's actually funny that an Afrikaan dislexic write poetry in english, but I love the way a person can play with english words. I'll post some more poems later. I use to draw too but when my daughter passed away I was like my inspiration died with herand I gave away every piece of work I ever did. Sometimes I'm sorry I did sometimes I really don't care. Someday I really have to start drawing again, once I do inspiration will come back.

This poem brought tears to my eyes.

MY POEMS
My poems are more then just words
They are made from my emotions
My secret feelings written in riddles
Puzzles made to release the need
To open up and let them go

It's a delicate balance between
The words of revelation and secrets
It's a sweet balance between
The times of love and tears

My poems is the gateway
To see my feelings hidden away
Those words to let you understand
All those feelings I can not explain

FORGOTTEN PAIN
Season rain falls to the ground
Forming stream of muddy water
Running down the old sandy path
That leads to the house long forgotten
Vines creeping against the cracked walls
Reaching for the clear blue sky

A mystery fills the age-old house
Secrets dwell in the dark passages
Sadness of things forgotten
A place where the raven’s song was sung
Death was born, now spirits live
How do their tears stop falling?

Such yearns should be heard
But over the years they forgot
Only a story for children to hear
I live those tears today
I mourn for they're broken lives
Go rest now my friends
I will cry for your tears

DESERT HEAT
The hot sizzling sun glowing down on the earth
The ground scorched for hundreds of years
Unbearable heat growing as the day grows older
Like a lake of fire the heat never ends

A Cicada singing it’s monotonous song
The shrilling sound invading your thoughts
Hypnotizing your body and mind till the
Only thing you can hear is its voice

The heat changing your visions
From the open desert plain into
An oasis protecting you from the sun
A haven for those who thirst cool water
