Half leeg Rooiwyn

Half leeg Rooiwyn
in ‘n vinger besmette glas
The chances one in 50
skraal amper so min soos
1 in a million
unless you listen long enough
to hear that song – or you are very lucky
or you have the power
to align the universe
instead other ones fill your ears
and they are so lovely and meaningful
too – but they are not that one
you want to hear
That is the life of me – always all these beautiful ones
each with their own beauty
but none of them that one
that I really want
Maar jy vat wat jy kry
of jy kry niks
maybe nothing is actually the
better option
All or nothing dear
THA’ ONE, I WANT THA’ ONE

Maar die grap is
as jy toilet toe gaan en dan kom daai EEN SONG op
en jy mis dit – so jy wag
al pis jy jouself nat – want jy kannie die lewe pause nie.


I could not do it over
a long period
it would have to
be a one off
successful event
