Poems of Milton Louw (1991)

DedicationI dedicate these songs and poems to all the girls have given me inspiration. These lyrics have given me new meaning to my life and has contributed to the fact that I have regained confidence in myself.

“My inspiration is starting to dry upBut I realize as long as I love youIt will never happenAs everything you do and sayGives me brand new ideasFor songs announcing my love for you”

“Can’t I stay a little longer Please?I’ll be real good to youSo say yes‘Cause with you far from meI long more and more‘Cause I really do love you!”

I especially thank Collette, “the Lady of my Dreams”. You taught me to live again.

Lady of my Dreams

ChorusWhat is love but a tender feelingA feeling I wish you felt for me.I know I have that feelingAnd, it’s a feeling for you;The lady of my Dreams

At night I go out and romanceWith women I don’t even knowAnd dream its you with who I danceThe Lady of my Dreams.

Now even my waking moments are bound in dreamsWhile where I want to be, is simply near you.This feeling of love makes me want to screamAll because I know I cannot have you;The Lady of my dreams.

Repeat chorus.

I’d really like to know your name(I’m not kidding with this request,even though you think it’s a game)But to me you’ve become an obsession,The lady of my Dreams.

Repeat “Dreaming of you, the Lady of my Dreams”(softly fading away)

Do you love me?

ChorusI thought I could go through lifeAnd never think about getting a wifeBut now I suddenly knowDown the aisle with you I want to goBut, I’m forced to wonderDo you really love me too?

I’ve decided to write this songBecause I’ve really got to ask youAnd try and right this wrongBecause I’ve really want to know

Page 6: Bubblegum Love - Poems 1991

Do you really love me too?

I’ve decided to ask you one more timeAnd maybe if I’m really luckyThe wedding bells for us will chime;I know this could be prematureI’m sure you’ll say yes.

So once again ask …Do you really love me too?

Repeat chorus

Today you spoke about another guyAnd I pretended not to noticeBut inside I thought, O why?So I’ll have to ask again,Do you really love me too?

Now you may be wondering whyAnd this is my simple reply,“Because I really do love you!”

My True Feelings

I’ve got this urge once moreTo write a poem declaring my loveBecause you’re the one who makes my heart real sore!Why, I’ve even asked advice from the one aboveBut I realize that’s real unfairAs I have to ask you the one for whom I care,And so to you I put this test,Am I really the one you love best?

Now once again I’ve asked that questionNot because I doubt your word,But because I find it hard to believeYou love me, even though I’m such a turd!

Now as I end this poemTo you a promise I want to make,A promise that no matter what happensMy feeling for you, I’ll never forsake.

Page 7: Bubblegum Love - Poems 1991

Love Thoughts

Love is a piece of heaven which fellDown to earth to give me problems.

I gave you my heart as if it were a ½centCash it in and its worthless, but keep it and you’ll have priceless memories

Love is like a bag of fruit, wonderful tochew on but hard to preserve.

Thinking of you is fun; being near you, …better.

Love is like a rose, beautiful to hold, butreal prickly to hold.

Love is like bubblegum, too much chewingand it goes stale

Love is … talking to the one you love!

Song on my Radio

Today a song played on my RadioAnd as it began to play, I lost myself in lovingmemoriesAs the words seemed to touch my soulBecause my heart they seemed to tease,And the suddenly I realizedTo me, You Are The Greatest Love of All!

ChorusI know my song will never be as good as Whitney’sBut I’m sure my message you’ll understandAnd maybe one day, when I begin my own bandYou’ll hear my song on your radio!

My ears are once more tunedTo the song playing so sweetAnd, then, I know that if I lose youMy heart will cease to beat,So move closer now

Page 8: Bubblegum Love - Poems 1991

And together we’ll produce a band new beat!And now as it plays to an endMy heart seems to turn to leadAs I’m forced to thinkAbout all those really mean things I saidAnd so with this melody I writeI really mean to say “I’m sorry!”And that, I still love you!

Repeat Chorus

No matter what I seem to doI’m continually reminded of youWhich definitely proves, I only love you!

Why do you like a guy like me?

A friend of yours told me that you like meBut I want to hear it from you personally!I’m actually a very shy guyAnd that’s why I keep asking myself, why?Why do you like a guy like me?

ChorusI’ve watched you many times with admiring eyesSo tell me now, without any lies,Why, Please tell me, why, do you like a guy like me?

I’ve seen you with a couple of other boysAnd I’m sure you did not think of them as toysYou see, I’m a kind of doubting LouwAnd for this reason I’ve just got to know,Why do you like a guy like me?

I now wish I had a carSo I could take you and ride out farAnd there I’ll perform once more this taskBecause I’m just wanting to ask,Why do you like a guy like me?

Repeat chorus

Page 9: Bubblegum Love - Poems 1991

Heart – thief

This verse may not rhymeBut maybe in timeYou’ll understand what I’m trying to sayBecause the truth is I don’t want Janey, Felicityor DianneAs I want you, the one who makes me feellike such a man.But you still believe what others say about me,even though most of it is lies,and if you really don’t believe me, watch meclose and look in my eyeswhile I tell you,You’re the one whose stolen my heart!

ChorusHeart-thief, why did I meet you now, after I promised myself that for love I’d wait,But now I’ve suddenly up and realizedI’m far too late,As you’ve already stolen my heart!

I’ve known many girls, some named, Yvonne, Janice and ElaineBut they think I’m going quite insane,Because I left them all for you.I’ve written you a couple of letters, andmeant everything from within my heartBut now its seems you are willing with meto partBut, no matter with how many girls I’ll go outwith my yearsI’ll always prefer (and wish) it was you so I could draw you near,Because you’re the one whose stolen my heart!

Repeat chorus

Head over Heels

Today you kissed me once againBut then you did something real badAnd it makes me believe you’re playing with meAnd this thought makes me quite sadBecause I’ve fallen head over heels in love with you.

Page 10: Bubblegum Love - Poems 1991

ChorusWhy do you play with me,And think of me as just another boyWith whose feelings you can play as if it were a toyBut, I’m different you seeBecause I don’t like being treated like dirtAnd this is what is really making my heart hurtBecause I’ve fallen head over heels in love with you.

I keep telling you about how I feelBut I don’t think you believe everything I sayAnd if you don’t stop playing with meWe’ll be forced to part one dayEven though I’ve fallen head over heels in love with you.Next time we kiss as we did todayJust promise you won’t do it againAnd I’ll promise to make sure you get home, early, as this is not just a simple gameBecause I’ve fallen head over heels in love with you.

Repeat chorus

Prisoner of Love

I tried pretending about how I felt towardsyou girlBut I realize now I can’t keep on lyingto myselfAs I’ve got to swallow this pillWhich says to meI’m still in your power.

ChorusFor a long time now I’ve been trying out this verseWondering how I can say I love youAnd that I always will, even “for better or worse”As I’m kind a glad I’m still in your power.

The other day I even tried out someone newBut this came to nothing as I soon knewThat I’d rather have this bout with youAs I’m fully awareI’m still in your power.

Page 11: Bubblegum Love - Poems 1991

My songs just seem to be getting worse and worseBecause I realize I don’t need them as I’ve got youAnd without you I’d probably end up in a hearseBecause I knowI’m still in your power

Repeat chorus

What’s this power you hold over meI’m kind of hoping its loveBecause my hearts real precious seeAnd now I’m thanking the one aboveThat I’m still in your power

Repeat “In your power is where I want to stay”(softly fading away)

I want you!!

I wish I were olderSo I could know just what to doBecause lately we’ve got a bolderAnd now I feel my heart poundingCause I want to make love to you.

Sometimes I think maybe I’m just scaredBut I want you to realizeI’m waiting till the day we wedBut sometimes I don’t think I can wait that longCause I want to make love to you.

The other day we were nearly caughtBut I don’t think they’ll believeThat of that day came noughtSo now I’m trying to cool down real fastCause I still want to make love to you

Having sex sound so crudeI try to think of it a little differentJust thinking of it as kind of nice with both ofus being nudeAnd now you have to give me a breakCause I want to make love to you.

Page 12: Bubblegum Love - Poems 1991

Looking at you naked gives me a chillBut we both know what’s rightAnd if you go on the pillIt’ll certainly change thingsCause I want to make love to you.

Doing it for you, Collette

My life has been turned upside downAs I never realized how much you love meAnd now I know; I’m wearing a crownAnd even though it’s made of thornsI’ll still do it for you

At school, life is turning out funnyAs they putting pressure on meThinking I was out just to get moneyBut even if I had the same choice againI’ll still choose you forever.

ChorusI’d love to start our friendship againAnd this time I’m willing to listenAnd even try acting a little saneSo I can keep you,Cause all this I’ll do for youAs I know I love you ColletteAnd that’s something on which you can bet!

Now once more I’m getting lots of flakCause people think we don’t fitAnd how you stuck me in my backAnd our relationship has come to an endBut with you, I’m willing to try again

People often say I’m a CasanovaJust because I’ve know a lot of girlsBut they’re all blown overAs I know what I wantAnd I know what I wantAnd you the one I’m trying to keep.

Repeat chorus

Page 13: Bubblegum Love - Poems 1991

Proving our love

Last night we watched video’s till lateAnd soon as the others were goneNeither of us could really waitTo jump into each others armsWhich proves to me really do love each other.

ChorusIts real pity about what your family said – They seem to have a funny idea in their headsWhich makes them think I’ve had you laidBut I realize we’ve got it madeBecause even with this charge against meWe’ve stayed together seeTo prove we really do love each other.

I’ve been close to other girls at timesAnd I’ve never been tempted awayBecause it all seemed like mimesWhen I’m not with youWhich proves to me I really do love youOnce, not so long agoI tried to break away from youBut my heart said no, don’t goStay with this girl force you dieWhich proves to me I really do love you.

Repeat chorus

Now you’ve taken me backAnd I’m really gladBecause with me you’ve got a knackTo keep me forever happyWhich proves to me, you really do love me.

Your Love

I’ve been listening to “Love Notes”And I realize they know what they are singing aboutBecause love is definitely a wonderful thingThis I know beyond a doubtAs your love has shown this to me.

Page 14: Bubblegum Love - Poems 1991

I know they are singing from experienceBut there’s still one thing bothering me,And that’s that they thing of love as a “physical thing”While I don’t think that’s really necessary,As we seem to be getting along just fineWithout having to hop into bedBecause I know you are totally mineWithout this “proof of love”And even though we come close,I’m kind of glad we didn’t,Even though I could have done with a doseOf having your body joining with mine,I know it would have been wrongAnd this is my way of showing you.My real reason for writing this song – To tell you I really do need youBut, that I’d rather wait,Until we are truly wedBut of lateI’ve been wondering againAnd in the process nearly going insaneBut I know we have been right(Even though I’d still like to sleep with you at night)As your love has show me the way,And that’s the best, no matter what others have to say!

Thank you! (Collette)

Thank you for your wonderful (love) – letter,I know no guy could have got a betterAnd it makes me doubly happyBecause you say you really do love me,And I can say the same tooAs I do really love youCause this feeling is really goodAnd this feeling is really goodAnd that’s the way it should

I love you plentyAnd this is my way to sayI’m glad you love meAs I really do know soAnd maybe together –one day – we’ll stay,And I hope that you won’t then say no!

Page 15: Bubblegum Love - Poems 1991

Love Thoughts

Writers and singers tell about loveBut never tell how it is in real – lifeWhen one falls in loveBut you can’t get the right one for your wife

Love is … sharing your true feelings withThe one whom you LOVE!

Remember always: my love for you will stayAnd grow stronger till my dying day.

I’ve been thinking of my sisterEspecially today on her birthdayAnd I know I really miss herAnd this is my way to sayI love you Arlene!

Birthday Poem (17 June 1987 – Collette turns 18)

Well I’ve decided to write you a birthday poemSomething to make you think a little of meright nowAnd of the day we plan to set up ahomeBut don’t ask, as right now I don’t knowhow

This poem has started to sound real silly to meAnd I thought about starting another oneBut, I’ve got to have something special for you,So I’ll just have to go on till it’s done.

Maybe I should write about the way Ifeel;Or, about how I really want you again;Or, about how your heart I want to steal;Well, I better decide quick otherwiseI’ll probably go insane.

I know this poem isn’t much of a presentBut until I’m qualified that’s all I can affordBut you got tot realize every world is meantSo please, when you read this, don’t get bored!

Page 16: Bubblegum Love - Poems 1991

Why the heck can’t I be rich, rolling in money?So I can buy everything your heart desiresWhether it be clothes, pots containing real honey,Or even a hot set of tires.

But my lot I suppose I must acceptAnd the most I can do is to give you respectAnd a promise that one – day soonI’ll even be able to give you the moon!

Happy Birthday! Gesëende dae vorentoe is my wens vir jou!

My Birthday girl

I’ve finished writing you a poemSo I thought maybe I’ll write a song;To you how much I careAnd how our love just can’t be wrong;So here’s looking at you, Birthday girl.

You’re entering the magic years of youth nowThe time you should be freeSo if at any time you want your freedomJust come and tell meBecause I’ll do anything for my Birthday girl.

As you get older, you get more beautifulAnd that can’t be proven as a lieCause I’ve seen the guys looking at youAll wishing I’d just peg off and dieSo they can get a chance with my Birthday girl

This song is up to s(peep)tIt seems I just can’t think straight,I keep getting side-tracked by memories of youAnd the nights when we stayed up till late –So here’s to memories of you Birthday girl.

I hope you like these couple of linesAnd that you’ll realize I mean every wordAnd not laugh your head offBecause you think them real absurdSo think once more of me My Birthday Girl

Page 17: Bubblegum Love - Poems 1991

Love Triangle

Love is never very straight – forward,As once again my love for you proves this to me.I realize now that I should have worked out something seeAnd then we could have worked out something seeAnd not to be stuck in this damn Love Triangle.

You have your boyfriend, I have my girlWhy then, do I think we will fit better?But, I suppose in your way you’re rightWhen you say you don’t want to hurt her;But that still leaves me in a Love Triangle

ChorusLove TriangleYou’re busy running my life: -A girl I have, but I want another for my wife.So perhaps with a little help from aboveI’ll be able to get the one I really loveAnd break up this Hosted Love Triangle

We talked quite a lot, or at least I didAnd maybe you right, I should have liedAnd not told you about her, but I can’tCause if you’d found out I’d have diedAnd I would still have been stuck in a Love Trianle

Now I cannot sleep with my thoughtsAs they keep returning to think of you girlAnd I realize I don’t know what to sayAs without you, ill always be in a silly whirlAnd in my heart I’d still stuck in a Love Triangle

Repeat chorus

Unopened Love bud

I spoke to you once more todayAnd I realize the following words I should not sayBut I feel in love with you onceAnd that feeling is still with me today;Even though you think we should just stay friends

Page 18: Bubblegum Love - Poems 1991

How many times haven’t I wondered,Wondered: - if things weren’t the same:Would you and I have been a pair,And maybe even shared a surname,And been “happy forever after”?

I know its no use thinking that wayAs things are the way they areBut this won’t stop me saying what I have to sayAs I’m continually wishing on a falling starThat one-day I will know for sure.

I often make jokes with youAbout the two of us becoming a pairAnd you probably never took any noticeSo I write these words to show I really care,Care about you: More than what a friend should.

So please remember these few wordsThese words that comes out of my heart:I really like you a lot see;As to me you’re a beautiful piece of priceless artAnd my feeling for you increase your value for me.

Letter to Leticia

I saw you while I was on holidayAnd instantly I like what I saw.I realize many guys wanted your attentionSo I thought you would probably chink me a boreSo I chickened out of going up to you.(Something that’s never happened to me before)I even though I kinda liked your eyes.I also thought I might want moreA lot more than just a nameFrom a lady without a flaw

Hell! These words I writeJust seem to have fallen into a rutWhich makes me think that when you read thisYou’re going to think I’m just another silly-nutWho say such things to every girl he meets.

Page 19: Bubblegum Love - Poems 1991

Oh, what the heck! Let’s see;Yeah, I was busy talking about my holiday!I came away from there without even talking to youSo I wrote to you – which was forward you might sayBut I think this was the only way leftAs I could not have lived another dayWith my mind reminding meThat I’m letting the chance of knowing you slip away

Just a word of warning at this time:These words are by no means a proposal.(Just a proposal of being friends?)Its just that I admire beauty at will,And you are one of those rare beautiful thingsWhich makes me real inspirable;And that’s the reason for these words.

Lots of love: Milton

P.s. I’m also using these words to impress youAnd butter you up before I say I’m sorryThat I haven’t written soonerBut rest assured, you need not worryAs my reply next time will be more prompt

My Philosoply on Life

What is the meaning of life?If you know please tell me:-Some say its finding a compatible wifeOthers: knowing how to help those in strife.

To me it means; - (1) being able to loveAnd having some special to receive it;(2) Being able to worship the one above;And (3) being remembered by those you love.

I’ve seen people trying the first and lastBut never caring much for the secondAs they want to live in the lane marked fastAnd in so doing never really achieve happiness that can last

My next question would then naturally beWhat are we doing to find meaning in life?

Page 20: Bubblegum Love - Poems 1991

Why I ask is quite simple see,Cause everyone only cares for “I; Myself and Me”So how do I achieve it you ask.I’m not sure but I’m trying real hardAnd I must admit it’s quite a hard taskBut I’ll keep with it till I’m put in a cask.

So why don’t we all tryTo achieve these three idealsCause then there’ll be much less reason to cryAnd none of us with the Devil will have to fry!!

God knows what your problem isSo carry your burdens and problems to his feet,Ask for His guidance in all mattersAnd I’m sure success and happiness you’ll meet.

Heart – Breaker ; Love Taker!

Why, oh why does love hurt so?Deep inside I’m really hurting badAnd its all your fault you knowCause you are the only one who makes me sadAfter you broke my heart.

Now its slowly healing – becoming betterBut, sometimes I wonder about usAnd those things I wrote in letters,Letters now covered in dustWhich make my heart cry out even now

ChorusHeart-breaker; Love TakerWhy did you have to choose meChoose to make my heart acheAs now I feel lost and drowned in a seaA sea of pity as my hearts broken.

Why do you still stay friendsAfter you fell for another guy?But now while my heart mends.I keep thinking of some thing why?Why did you break my heart?Why is picking up the pieces hard

Page 21: Bubblegum Love - Poems 1991

Especially now while I’m sitting here?Maybe it would have been better if my heart was made of cardAnd then it wouldn’t have made a difference when you’renearEven though you broke my heart.

Repeat chorus

Love Thoughts

The secret of love is knowing how to give it and not knowing how, or trying to, receive it.

Love is only a fleeting moment of happiness.

Pain is the heart key to success.

A ring around the heart is better thanone around the finger

The secret of love is………..UNKNOWN!

Look at a baby’s toothless smile;Listen to its laugh;Then: tell me love does not exist?

Loneliness is a room full of people ignoringyou

A girl called Bernadette

I met a girl called BernadetteAnd now I’m really glade we’ve met‘Cause she really intrigues meAnd what that is what I like in a girl, see!

I know she’ll probably think this poem’s dumbBut it is the fault of her…‘Cause when I see them, my brain goes numb.(-Because they don’t look like washing pegs!)

Page 22: Bubblegum Love - Poems 1991

Why am I writing this poem?I don’t know either: but just wait:-Maybe she and I will set up HomeIf she turns out to be the ideal mate.

This is the end of the lyricAnd to be quit honest, it is quite sick.

Can I be sure?

A friend of yours has been whispering a lot in yourear lately and I’m getting worried;She seems to be carrying messages from other guyswith whom. I don’t what you didSo tell me, can I be sure of your love?

Sometimes I wonder how its possible that abeauty like you can like a guy like meand all I seem to get for an answer is – thatyou like my personality;but how do I know that will always keep you true?

I’ve always tried to pretend that I’m not the jealoustip who watches you with other guysBut lately I just can’t control myself andkeep watching you to see if you tell any lies‘Cause I’m quite in love with you, that’s for sure!

I was kinda wondering real heard about how muchyou care for me when I wrote this songAnd that’s why I ask you these questions soI can look in your eyes and see I’m wrong‘Cause now I’m real sure of your love for me!!

You’re the one for me! (Dedicated to Yolanda)

Sitting here looking at youI don’t know what to say‘Cause all I have on my mindIs seeing you each and every day.

I know I have to studyAnd you also have many years ahead

Page 23: Bubblegum Love - Poems 1991

But I’m a patient kind of guySo I’ll just wait until we can get wed.

There’s a bunch of stories about meStories about me being a DadBut I know you won’t believe themBecause you know I ain’t that bad!

Your mom mounted at me the other dayAnd the worst part was: I didn’t know what to sayBut that has all been left behind‘Cause now I have made up my mind

“That you are the girl for me!”

Incomprehensible PoemBy: A Broken Heart

Its been a long time sine I wrote something decentSomething out of my heart that is really meantAnd this is because my heart was too soreBut now I’ve found out that to life there is moreMore than just loving you

You did the same as the othersAnd I hate all girls for being mothers!

Now I feel heart healingAs Cupido to me a new hand is dealingIn the form of another Heart –breaker!

But all of those who broke my heartYou were the only one about who I didn’t get smartSo revel in the fact that you’ve wonAnd I’ll worry about what you doneAs you girls are all the same!

Being with you

I remember the first time we metAnd now I’m really happy we didEven though I acted like a real wet;Which you probably didn’t even notice‘Cause you were laughing too much.

Page 24: Bubblegum Love - Poems 1991

ChorusYour laugh is something I enjoy hearingAs it makes me think you’re happy – And that’s makes my heart want to singAs it is me making you laugh.

Now I’m sleeping out a lotAnd my Dad has spoken to me about itBut I don’t mind as it’s you I gotAnd that’s the most important thingAs I care about you!

Repeat chorus

Missing you!

You mean a lot to meAnd I know its now too late to seeBut I still wish these words I did utterInstead of always “nothing” mutterAs to me you are lostEven though I still want you back!(No matter what the cost:As in Love I’ll make up for the money I lack.)

Wanting you Again(My love for you still lives)

I feel so sad these daysWhen I sit and think of what we hadAnd I wish things I could changeSo they wouldn’t turn out so bad!But this is a useless hopeAs you found someone newAnd without you I’ll just have to cope!

I’m trying real hard to forget you;To think just about what lies aheadBut all I do is revert to memoriesWhen I lay myself down on my bed.“Memories of wonderful times we spentWhen everything was happy

Page 25: Bubblegum Love - Poems 1991

And every loving word we meant”.

You once wrote down the words of a song,And I like to think you meant what you saidWhen you wrote “I just can’t stop loving you!”‘Cause these are words that stuck in my headAs these words for me are true!Now it seems you’ve forgotten meAnd that kind of makes me feel blue.

So many things have happened in betweenThat I wonder what is still to come – Whether things will work out for usOr whether our feelings for each otherWill just go numb.I’m hoping it won’t end that way:So if you find someone else to lovePlease forgive me for these things I say.

I’m wondering whether I should give youThese verseOr just keep them for me alone to see –But that wouldn’t be rightAs it would just remind me of the hurt insideOf me!I don’t know what I writeBut I have to do somethingAs I just can’t sleep tonight.

Please don’t think I’m forcing you to doAnythingAs I’m willing to be a patient guySo take your time deciding whether you want me backOr if you’d rather to me say good-buy.I hope your choice is not the latter‘Cause if you choose the firstI’ll definitely start to feel better!

So no matter what you decideJust remember this Collette:I’ll always be ready and waiting for youAnd that’s something on which you can bet!Now as I end this poemI’d like to end this with a special wish:“I hope that one – day we can set up home!”

Page 26: Bubblegum Love - Poems 1991

Memories

Your beauty never ceases to amaze meAnd I know now I never deserved your loveBut I’m thankful for what we hadAnd everyday I thank the one aboveFor loving memories we share!

ChorusOh these wonderful memories we shareOf so many fun times we hadTimes when we were totally bareEven though we weren’t really “Bad”Oh memories can’t you stop eating at meAnd just please, please leave me be!

Do you member the times…We promised each other we’d get wed?That we fell asleep in each other arms?And meant every word we saidWhen we said “I love you!”?

How many times didn’t I promise you the world?Promise to forget your (and my) past?Promise to love you forever and ever?At least I’ve kept the lastAnd I promise I always will!

Repeat chorus

Are these memories a blessing or a curse?I don’t know! But they are things I’llAlways in my heart nurse!

Freedom Flight

An eagle soars the sky,Floating high above the earth,He looks down on tiny specks of lifeHe knows not what they think,Cares not!Cause he is free.

Yet in life all this is a lieFor even from our birthWe are living lives filled with strifeCaring only for ourselvesNever othersAll wishing to be free.

But all of you I’ll defyAs I too am freeSoaringNever captiveYet, one – day I’ll be no more –And who’ll remember?

Captives of Freedom

High above the earth he soarsAlighting here, then thereNever stillHe is free,Can come and go when he wishesHe is King of the sky,He is an eagle.

I too, feel akin to himNever stopping, never stillMoving forthAlways freeComing and going as I wishLiving out a liePretending to live

Yet both of us are wrongWe are captives of freedomWe are caught by itLonging for it,Thirsting,Never getting enough.

Yes mighty bird,You and I are kinCaptives of freedomCaptives of lifeAlways free

Yet never!======================

There is only one success: - To be able to spend your life in your own way.

Secrets

The words of songs run through my headScenes, flashes from the pastRemembering me of what I’ve lostWhat I’ll never regain;Lost forever.

I’m always this way when I’m lonelyThinking back – about the two of usWhat we used to dream ofWhat we will never achieve;Not together.

True love was supposed to be foreverYet it seems to be a force As it only remains in meYou have already forgotten;Our paradise.

Now I weep when I’m alone at nightThinking on the past we used to shareWishing I could have it backTreasuring thoughts from the past,Loving memories.

Maybe my secret dream will one-day be trueAnd you and I will be oneSharing, regretting time lostGoing forth in life;As one.

Love is like a see – sawEvery up preceded by a down,Followed by a down.

Page 29: Bubblegum Love - Poems 1991

Wander Lust

What makes me so restlessCauses me to searchLooking, never findingContinuing on this lonely pathWithout ever getting rest,Peace of mind?

I always blame others for thisYet I know it seems from insideDeep in my soul,This search for somethingNever minding the pain,The pain I cause others.

I want answers,Answers to questions not yet asked;I want truth,So I know how to lie;I want knowledgeKnowledge to impress others with;

I want fame,Yet standing in a cocoon of privacy;I want thingsYet I never give to anyone,Yes all this I want, and moreYet none are what I seek;So I will always have to keep searching.

The Blues

What Now?NothingWhere too?Nowhere.With whom?No – oneWhy?Don’t know.Will I accept this?Why not!

Reality

Life used to be lonely and drearyThen you came into it;It was fun.Then itEnded.

Now it’s lonely and dreamy again‘Cause I’m without youliving on my dreamslosing touch ofreality

=======================

No More

What am I living forI’ve no reason to live no more!

I use to manageNow no more

I live on the edgeNow no more

I thought you really loved me

NowNo

More!=====================

Friends

For what we are to receive, dear LordMake us truly doubly Thankful.

Friends in times of needWho prove they are friends in deed,In times of heart-acheOur days to make,When tears may fallOr laughter won’t come at allThey’ll stand you by

Page 31: Bubblegum Love - Poems 1991

Never letting you lay down and dieThat’s what being friends is all about,This is stated without any doubt‘Cause True Friends are Friends Forever!

Raining Tears

The rain pitter – patter’s on the roofFalling softly, gently, cleansingCleaning the world,Without any forceLeaving everything beautiful.

A child’s tears fall from her faceFalling softly, gently, cleansingCleaning out her heartSoon she’ll feel betterWithout any forceLeaving everything looking better

The rain and tears don’t seem to affect meYet inside I feel the painWish I too could cryCleanse myself of you / meLeaving me totally new!

Valentine ‘89

Last night I promised you a poemSo now read this and think of meAnd you might not have believed my wordsBut can now these feelings on paper see

It all started at registrationWhen you came in all dressed in pinkI nearly felt of my chain right thenCause at the sight of my heart started to sink.(Just don’t ask why, O.K?)

Yesterday was lots of funI enjoy walking with you through town;Even though I talked too muchAnd continuously acted like a clown.

Page 32: Bubblegum Love - Poems 1991

But this is because you intrigue meAs its not often I meet a girl I admireA girl who knows what she wantsAnd from responsibility never tire.This poem is starting to sound real weirdAnd that’s like my feeling towards you tooAnd my heart is going wildBecause I know I like you!

=============================

The words of love-songs go through my headPlaying a melody so sadYet so trueOne that sounds similar to my heartAs everyone in the world seems to knowTrue love does not exist.

Unexpected Love

What hit me?This night of the 22nd I won’t forget‘Cause something really special happenedAs our hearts (and bodies) eventually met.

I know I promised to forgetAnd tomorrow will be just another normal dayBut inside me, my heart will be going wildAnd I’ve never ever had it feel this way.

Why weren’t we willing to accept it?Others saw it before we didWhile we always joked about itBut only ourselves it seems we were trying to kid

Now, whatever happens between usI hope we give it a chance to workOtherwise we’ll both end up sadWhile in our hearts this love will lurk.Tonight I’m not going to be able to sleepAnd if I do, I’ll dream of youBecause tonight you and I said those three magic words

‘I Love You’===============

Page 33: Bubblegum Love - Poems 1991

A Fleeting moment of Happiness

Tonight I got peace in my soul,A song in my heartAnd a smile on my lipsAll because I know once more what it is to love.

I’ve always said this feeling is not for meI believe that loving was not possibleBecause I never found someoneBut now I have,

And it’s you I know I love!

Something Read – Something Said!

I always wanted to be a writerAnd this is something I’ll be I’m sureBut the problem is what to write aboutSo people will sit up and take head.

That is why I wish my skin was whiterSo people will stop thinking they are more pureBecause they are wrong have no doubtAs we were all created equalAnd that’s why I wrote this poem:So everyone the truth can read!

Why??

“Look at me my white brothersCome closer to meAnd show you care about the othersBy letting us all live free”

This request may sound funnyBut you all are enjoying your livesWhile we struggle for moneySo we can feed our children and wives

Now I know what the laws areBut they are really quite unfairAnd so if you’ll lift the colour Bar

Page 34: Bubblegum Love - Poems 1991

It will prove you really care.

So now that you’ve heard my cryGo home and ask yourselves; Why?

Brotherhood among us

Can’t we all come and meet each otherAnd no matter what colour we may beBe able to show we love one anotherAnd then together we’ll stand, you and meThe leaders of Tomorrow,Planning for what is to comeOtherwise there will be lots of needless sorrowOver killing which are quite dumb.

So come closer now and grab my handAnd we’ll accept each other as brothersAnd then together we’ll be able to standTo show our Father and MothersWe want to plan for a common futureNo matter what our race, colour or culture.

Child of Africa

My brother and I once lived together as oneBut life was bad for me back thenYou see, he’s white while I’m notBut, these are all rules set but mortal menAnd I’ve often wondered why they said such thing,Things that really hurt me deep inside,While they pretended they were kings.Now I’ve come to realize that they liedBecause we are all equalAnd even though our skins don’t matchEverybody should be entitled to follow his own willBut if I said this, the jail door behind me they’d latch!

Now, I know these words may not mean a lotBut the truth is, they all I’ve still got.

Martin Luther King, jr: I have a dream that one –day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: (We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal.)

The Leftist Capitalist

Start early life – short go throughExtreme hardship and good luck.But still walk off the edgeDo something wrong

Get another chance – begin at the Beginning – a place I knewStill live large – larger than youCan dream in a year – night after night

Have it bad – yet have it allThe most beautiful Girl in the worldI had not yet met‘Material Girl’ was the way I judged

Didn’t go away – yet did studyWas against politics – what a foolBecame the best politicianLearning the dangers of the Gravy trainA goddess was given to meTo name as in the time of AdamThought I was god – Really messed upThat’s when I lost sight of reality

Cancer – was very lucky in the beginningUnderstood that I had never been taughtTried new things – became the bossResigned because of principles not Fortune

Ran away – luckily I had friendsPeople who at least made an effortGot there made a home, without herMissed them to much

Came back master of destinyA phoenix arisen – to fly – KalahariDown to earth – working at nightPaper millionaires who cannot file

Page 36: Bubblegum Love - Poems 1991

Was all I learnt a waste

No!

I grew up knowing nothing feeling hurtMade to learn to appreciateThank you teachers one and allFrom the first who loved me – till the last

Now I understand the burdenThe one of the leftist capitalist

Get paid for what you do wellNeither under or over – chargeEarn fairly, pay slightly betterEnjoy the fruits of your labourYet bury the seeds.

By being happy that you are moneyedYou give back equallyTry to teach another, to be us lucky as You!
