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
...

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.
...
