I hear the ring across the room,
And I know who it is.
I can’t bring myself to accept the call,
But my fingers are more careless.

I can hear the ***** on your breath.
Your voice is sweet and delicate.
But my voice escapes your ears,
You don’t hear my tones laden with fear.

You tell me what’s on your flesh,
My dear you can try your best.
But I’ll tell you now I never wanted this.

There’s more I crave than just this call,
Where the smile that made me fall?
All I ever see is anguish in your teeth,
I’m much more than warmth,
For a drunken nights sleep.
Die stroom van verlange                             The stream of longing
Vloei na die see                                             Flows to the sea
In die verste diepte                                       To the furthest depth
Van sy blou heimwee.                                  Of its blue nostalgia

Die sande wag                                               The sands lie awaiting
Vir die verre wind                                          The distant wind -
Die rotse aanskou                                           The rocks gaze on
Die spelende see.                                            The playing sea

In een oomblik                                              In one moment
Spring die vis omhoog                                 The fish leaps on high
Deur die son beskilder                                  Painted by the sun
Dan ewig dood.                                             Then dead eternally.
(following Jeannine Davidoff's example!)(in Die Oes)
If every painter, poet, voice of reason were to die,

How dreary would be the world without art.

Just take all source of light and smother it,

And let darkness suffocate us, and all there is.

 

If every moaning lover, were to be silenced at this moment,

How dreary would be the world without desire.

Equivelant to taking all fires and putting them out,

And letting waters run deep, deep enough to drown us.

 

If your breath were to vanish, causing you to fall to your knees,

How dreary would be the world without you.

You could take every painting, every book, every song,

And drown it in the waters that washed away desire.

 

Bring forth to my eyes all the darkness in this world.

Bring forth to my skin all the fires that burn brightly.

And bring forth to my nerves all the pain there is to bear,

For how could I continue, in a world that is so dreary?
oh oh oh
carnal instincts are beckoning
give it one last try
he saw you in the proper moonlight
he saw your hopes die

its drawing him in

I wonder if he knows
I wonder if he feels
deep blood drawn in the shallow end
throwing rocks at muddy water
the taste of his bare skin

curiosity crests just before
the dawn

& if you take the slightest peek
my dear
you can bet
he'll soon
be




gone
Does he think I am trivial?
You do not find peace
If you avoid everything.
I need answers.

The truth can hurt, though.
So do I really want it?
I wonder if I leave
If it will solve his problems.
I designate myself: the culprit of them all.
contradict my colors
carry me with your cause
I'm building this house
on love, sir
& I bleed out
violent flaws

calm the wounded widow warrior
change the picture on
your page
I've burnt all I can of
the exterior
& they're booing me
off the stage

cherish only what you love
charity and all that grooves in the night
don't give one listen to what
you've heard of
about the man who lived
with his own
fright
