Daleen Enslinstrydom Poems

For as long as people have lived on earth
we were created alone
from the time of Adam
until the last man is born
...

Your eyes do sparkle like the light that shines
in the golden bubbles of a good champagne.
Your smile is catching almost bewitching,
and when your eyes glance at me I am flattered.
...

There is nothing more beautiful
than an African setting sun.
Late afternoons are definitely different
than the rest of the day
...

For far too long I was alone
and it was almost the same time
as Jacob waited for Rebecca.
...

For far too long I was alone
and it was almost the same time
as Jacob waited for Rebecca.

Too many nights did I count
...

It is almost an illusion
as if the images that your eyes do see
are too good to be true
and the antelope are gathering everywhere
...

In the whirlpool that we call life,
we forget how to laugh, even how to smile.
We distance ourselves from friends
and even our families.
...

In your hands you clutch a board
with a written plea:
'No work, no food and children to feed.
May God bless you.'
...

We were destined to meet
and I had loved you before we met
as if it was written in the stars
long before time had existed
...

It is the longest route through the Cape Province,
it's as very quiet road
and almost desolated and sleepy,
a boring piece of landscape.
...
