"wyle" poems
Beautiful minds endure erosion of time.
Beautiful faces fade with time.
Beautiful minds come with years of cultivation.
Beautiful faces are shallow promises.
Beautiful faces are lucky inheritance.
A beautiful mind, your soul truly reveals.

Jy het die reg tot lewe
Oh grondwet, die dood lag jou uit!
Die sardoniese blik
van 'n gesteelde besluit,
**** jy nie die klop-klop van vier perde hoef
wyle die openbaring in
jou blaaie kom poef.
Skaam jy jou nie
vir sulks blatante leuen,
of het jy jou ore aan Satan verleen
toe jy jou hoop soos saad versprei
om naief- die jeug, in die versoekingte lei.
Ons eet karkas-krummels
as 'n daaglikse brood
Terwyl jy ons verseker
dat jy die waarheid ontbloot
soos die arme tiener meisie,
geryp; en nou - dood.
Jou bedoelings was goed,
maar jou kakpraat te groot.

Tiny swallows circle far above
White clouds
Carefree and gay
Below my heart wanders within
Dry stones
Heavy and sad
How long before I can soar
Unshackled?
Come evening stars
Enlighten my way

Wit le sy uitgesprei oor
pendoring gras vanmore.
haar spastiese bewegings
vroegoggend reeds bestorwe.
Stil is die nagtegal se liedjie
die roos is dood van ryp,
wyle weinig traan van simpatie
verlore in die stormpyp.
Die aarde draai en
swoeg in nag se sweet.
in sy nietige pogings om
die noodkreet te vergeet.
Haar naakte lyf le
oopgebaar, en styf
in dood se koue klou.
Dit ryp hier in die rosestad.
En die Flora-
was 'n vrou.

When Sun and Moon have found their place,
Angels gather as witnesses of first birth.
"Let there be life," Theos proclaims.
Incipient buds appear. Promise of Beauty forever.
Life bursts forth.
Flowers and weeds grow together.
Weary gardeners tend the soil.
Angels in silence weep when flowers fall.

Good morning from Chumphon, Thailand
I awake with happy birds
and country roosters' crow
lazy and slow
I pity busy morning
filled with noisy cars
rushing downtown
anxious and hurried with cares

Pensive moments
Aglow with mellow candlelight
Counting rain drops
In the night

Icy stream
Silvery fishes swimming
Cool air
Chicken roasting over
Ruby fire
Friends in a circle
Keep hearts warm

Her sister died alone
That night she wept
Followed with Mahjong
And went fishing next
I saw Heavens in disarray!

As history turns a page
Begin a new story of our lives
Our past forgiven
Our hopes renewed
Our will to live rejoiced

Bulbul's early mornings
Her rich, throaty songs
Welcome another day
Not far away she and I find happiness
