I have strained and I have tried.
yet these eyes have not cried.
In the city that never snows.
Ice coats the frozen ground.
Slipping, I find new lows.
There is no safety to be found.
Another bird escaped the broken net.
All I can is look on and softly let.
This soul weeps in the dark, silently.
Yet eyes do not shed even gently.

this story ended yesterday
save me a last glimpse of your bright morning smile
and wait while i enjoy it for just a little while
because the windows are broken
the rage has been spoken
all of your dreams have escaped
toppled the love that was faked
this story ended yesterday
as the train rushed you away
move me, and take me to wonders ahead
and send me no devils or angels of dread
save me from hatred, from dark hopeless roads
spare me of anguish and help me heave heavy loads
send my way no dark dreary storms
or misleading shadow forms
stop here, and test me no more
no heartache, nor eternal gore
help me to battle for my daily needs
and perform great heroic deeds
and send me your unbreakable sword
hear me, for I am your image o lord
There is no hope
There is no love
Just a dangling rope
Lowered from above
Why have we wept
Over broken dreams
While the world slept
Just impossible memes
Where have I gone
Not where I planned
All alone
Last stand
In the begining there was matter, matter moved and then there was time.
Things bumped into each other, bound together to create order, rythm and rhyme.
Living things woke up from deep slumber, then began to re-arrange the world.
Small things colided, rubbed against each other, sparked, then burned.
From fire came light, the living things learnt to see, and then the world was born.

The Man From Pineapple Island
The man from Pineapple Island.
Had sandals covered in sand.
He did not own a lot.
He wore his hair tied back in a knot.
Oh the wonderfull stories he could tell.
His tanned skin as hard as a sea shell.
He had a small boat he sailed there and far.
Arriving on small islands to play his guitar.
He went to places where they had only canoes.
Where they brewed their own kind of booze.
There he would lie down on the sand so soft.
Those spirits making his mind drift aloft.
On his Island in the middle of nowhere.
Lost in the maze of home brewed beer.

Rare and Fortunate Few
I finally found all the good souls
Living in cozy rabbit holes
With sun tanned happy smiles
With feet that walk many miles
Guitars play along with their singers
Strummed by soil stained fingers
In woods with wild forest sheep
Eating cookies and half asleep
Living the lives of heroes blessed
Treating everyone like an honoured guest
With hearts made of intentions pure
This wandering self the sirens did lure
To a strange and exotic nest
Built to be better than all the rest
For those so rare and fortunate few
Who are blessed to drink the morning dew

Literature
The Flowers Of Never Ever
behold the Temple of the Dawn
where the glow of Life is born
in multitude
the Worlds prelude
blossoms forth and spreads
across the sleepers' beds
in a golden glowing mime
it comes, a good new time
nudges open sparkling eyes
to see things of small size
wait on the brink my friends
all the worlds find their ends
but there is a place to find
through a rabbit hole in your mind
that leads to the open space
with room in which to amaze
a place that will live forever young and strong
with no space for things that are wrong
follow me
or let be
make room there yee mighty
I will become more than a slightly
let me take you to the he
the disintegrated dream by paintwhenpainted, literature
Literature
the disintegrated dream
you there: strong, proud and tall
who fought till they broke down the wall
struggled in your life to escape
the noose that now constricts your nape
you climbed up from the world of poor
daring to discover what was outside your door
you saw all that could be achieved with great wealth
betting on the future of unstoppable health
now the winters grow cold
your bones hollow and old
your days lead to collapse
you fall into everyday traps
that gold still only gleams in your head
now your betting on lottery tickets instead
heartbeats merge into an everlasting drone
as you move into smaller and smaller homes
one morning you will wake
I searched for it near and far.
In icy waters and Turkish bazaars.
On mountains covered in trees.
On city streets dripping with sleaze.
In temples chanting Sanskrit.
I searched for the elusive it.
I looked for a place made in my mind.
Believing it to be somewhere I could find.
A place made of dreams I thought.
Without anything to be fought.
Where I could find some peace.
and enjoy a world of warmth and ease.
This place would be alive all around.
This place that I named Sleeptown.
Under rocks and panes of glass.
Behind swaying blades of grass.
I searched incredible lengths.
I exerted mighty strengths.
I looked in philosopher'
I have strained and I have tried.
yet these eyes have not cried.
In the city that never snows.

Slipping, I find new lows.
There is no safety to be found.

My liefling
ek skryf graag vir jou 'n gedig.
Glo my ek verstaan
my liefdie is tog net 'n klug.
Verstaan tog net asseblief
jy is nogsteeds vir my hart in dag soos maanlig.
Iets wat nooit sal gebeur.
Ek weet dit. Ek sien dit in jou gesig.
Ten spyte van die negatiewe reaksie
tot my powere pogings bly dit steeds pragtig.
Blouste van oë, hart van goud en alles daar by.
Duidelik die handtekening van die Here allermagtig.
Tog teen dit alles vul jy my met vrees
en al wat my hart voor skree is kans om te vlug.
Dat ek die bloed van my hande af kan was
daartoe om my siel weer te reinig.
Met jou. Sonder jou.
My hart tot niet herbou
And the fluttering of the flag by paintwhenpainted, literature
Literature
And the fluttering of the flag
Beneath the cooing of the doves.
And the fluttering of the flag.
Raised above the stone remains of the old fort.
Sitting in the shade.
Of a stree that softly rustles in the wind.
I remember what you forgot.
