To see in the dark,
there has to be a spark
of lightning lit on a railway line
absent and frightening.
Give us a moment
to create a movement
with a loud voice
promising a lie by choice.

You just call out my name,
and you know wherever I am
I'll come running
to see you again.
Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall:
all you have to do is call
and I'll be there,
yes I'll be there;
you've got a friend,

From the depth of my soul
to the tip of my pen,
light has grown cold
like an iceberg in the Andes.
Such is love
that is not perceived
nor accepted
to the worth of its extent.
It brings tears in the desert
of the scorned heart

In the fields of my ancestors,
a cry had begun:
"Kill the real people,
the Khoi and the San!"
From the end of a gun,
with the point of a spear
killing the peaceful
of those you hold dear.
Lost generations,
fathers and sons,
destroying... – by Alastaire Arendse | 1 View added 2 years ago

How long is forever:
till death do us part?
It is a calling,
a voice in your heart.
It is the silence
before us that's heard,
calling us quietly
a whisper is stirred.
We know that still voice
though doubt tends to fear
then we cover... – by Alastaire Arendse | 0 Views added 2 years ago

She'd borne us at her own expense,
a burden of the love she shared,
and with no thought of recompense,
unselfishly, for us she cared.
When we cried out in the night
at some unknown, imagined fear,
she turned on the safety light

I want to go to America
to see my uncle Jim;
Russia might have PERESTROIKA
but I'd rather be with him.
America's not too cold
it is not often armed,
the young men are not old

No cause is worth the price in blood
of them who did no harm,
and guilt cannot escape a man
who cost a child his arm

to kill to give insight
are free of heinous crimes in deed
by virtue they were... – by Alastaire Arendse | 1 View added 3 years ago

Our love will last eternally
For God's love is much more
From eternity to eternity
He tied my life to yours.

As if written in the stars,
But God decides love's fate;

How do you say a last goodbye
When the setting sun is nigh?
You remember all the years
When laughter came in tears.

As the rising sun was dawning.
Days would never have an end;

Walking on the road of stone,
