Quintin van Deventer Poems

All the folks on the pursuit of joy,
Ride a rollercoaster across time
Finding and losing at each bend
The feel of terror in all its ecstasy
...

Like a front from the south,
gloom sweeps over me,
with little heed it blocks the sun,
as purple raindrops fall around me.
...

In a Grand Formula depicting our world
all variables, equate to zero, to nothing,
for all our actions conjure in a vacuum,
as the Sun burns out, so do we shower in it.
...

Like a flawless ruby of the setting sun,
you radiate clearly across the skies,
in an array of soft and tender tones,
your splendour and warmth, ethereal.
...

Like a mountain spring,
You flow through me.
With non-perennial waters,
I’ll never thirst again.
...

Man has built an empire from dust today,
a world separate from that of the beasts,
govern by a new order, both civil and just,
executed by mere men with precision.
...

In deafening silence she examines
the portraits of her begoned past,
surrounding her entity with dark,
pieces of life lost in every one.
...

Vacant homes in a grey landscape
set against a purple sky with a tired sun
as rivers of red rages on with sick and sin
this fills my portrait which I now share
...

9.

Candy,
it wasn’t that he tried to ruin your life,
he was merely trying to make his better.
He came into your life with a bang and you liked it,
...

Blue eyes and blue tears
are like glass windows peering into your soul,
where I bared witness to your implosion.
I can see, I understand your pain.
...

How does one write what one feels,
how do you pour your heart around that
steal ball in your ballpoint pen.
Words have definitions, you can look them up and
...

12.

Black vacuum in my sorrow,
suck me in as if air,
to fight, is futile,
ever large, ever present.
...

The Best Poem Of Quintin van Deventer

Pursuits

All the folks on the pursuit of joy,
Ride a rollercoaster across time
Finding and losing at each bend
The feel of terror in all its ecstasy
The bends, ups and downs, excite
 
All the folks in pursuit of love
implode in a vacuum of the self
a fight to gain emotion in another
to be spellbound in the heart’s clutter
Falling in and out of the holes of others
 
All the folks in pursuit of meaning
Search the corners of the their planes
To gain value in the muscles of their souls
To find something of sustenance
To bea able to brearth out life, not just in.
 
All the folks in pursuit of Joy
Reap the fruit from the friendships found
So that they can drink its wine in celebration
To feel the burn of life our veins
So that it may carry us through the gloom
 
For all the folks in pursuit of life
Panic along a rollercoaster in ecstasy
As they find and lose the emotion in our hearts,
As meaning is found and lost in our plunder,
So that we can drink the wine our creation.
