Helgard du Preez Poems

Thy now I stand with grief,
the pain has shook my heart,
I am a tree without a leaf,
all the roots drained, I have no part.
...

Love is like a Photo,
Sometimes Clear, sometimes Faint,
Some you've Lost, some you've Gained.
...

Once I feared a languid daemon
Draped with a sullen piercing horn
I was dazzled till I faced the truth
When I saw a stranger’s hoof
...

Splinters swimming into lively flesh
Seeking death for a futile cause
Reviling hells with poisoned spit
Lands inside an infernal pit
...

This life as you know it, clinging onto my shoulders,
A burden so heavy, I have to carry,
Little pebbles have grown into boulders,
I miss the times I could depend on daddy
...

When thy gloaming nightfall sets ashore
Insomnia settles, elicited by gyrating ambivalences
Thy clock silently incites into a motionless tranquility
Cerebrations, idealizations, it forms my inner core.
...

Speak to me, ‘Oh toothless one,
Please excuse the babbling talk, my trifling pun,
I had to do it, it was sooo much fun,
It shot like the bullet, of a gun,
...

You know, when I miss you so much
I gently squint my eyes, tardily it will deepen into an elated eventide
My inner being weiglessly floats towards the upper pinnacle
Drifting into no-man's-land
...

Fatigued by the muscle of thy twisting tongue
Stabbed in the dorsum with your venomous tittle-tattle
Tiny flakes heap up into a monstrous snowball ready on the hung
This is the engagement of the perpetual battle
...

I remember yesteryear with my unshielded anima
Flavored with undesirable seasons
Cold howling winds crying out an enigma
Violent blizzards raining me with inner demons
...
