Condensing you/Terugflits





Condensing You



if I had only a few lines to describe you

what words would I use

condensing you?

i cannot write you without me

in you:



burning brightly as collateral rubies

instigating each other's hearts

we touch with isochronal sparks



oh! how my blood becomes icy

with redhot shivers of purity's chills

whispering madonna

covered serenely with veils

of silvery silence

my eyes shimmer the quartz

of your pupils



hidden by arum lilies

crossed swords

upon breast's valleys

a choral smile

is singing of you lips



and of your holy hands



myra



Terugflits



as ek jou moes skryf

watter woorde word sterlig

binne my vers?

ek kan jou nie dig

tot denke

sonder die sielspraak van my lyf



heldergloeiende bloedverwante robyne

aanhitsende harte

versmelt tot isokroniese vonke

pols ysig

met witwarm rillings van suiwering

wek madonna-geprewel



binne sluiers van sidderende stilte

gloei my oë die kwarts

van jou kykers



agter aronskelke

se beskermend swaarde

oor die valleie van borste

kurf my mond 'n koraal-glimlag

wat van jou lippe

sing



en van jou heilige hande



myra

This is a beautiful poem sculptured in tenderness and yet, so sensual and passionate!! The warmth of your sun really shines through in this poem! I can see the real Myra bursting with vibrancy and zest for life (just like the woman I’ve met)! ‘n Pragtige verbeelding van liefde en vurigheid – ek hou baie hiervan!

Love
