Simply wind
Outside through the murky windows the wind billows from every corner possible, its fierce and I cannot fall asleep. The wind feels like it is howling through my mind with my thoughts attached to its lashing. My mind is racing faster than what I hear outside. When I walk to my car my hair is pulled out of its roots. Tangles and bangles and short living shambles. Paper sifted pieces all strewn around, being bashed around and caught in bob wire. Houses the mountain it all sets on fire, the ocean its motion and the short lived commotion.
Simply wind, a gushing wind angry wind superior wind. This is where I stay, this is where I live I work I play. The wining, the dining the partying all night long. The movies the shooters the camps bay girls and their hooters.
Its fun out here and I can do the wind. Or at lease try my very best to not feel it hear it or find it thrashing at my skin. Even the sun is lashed around - the moon stays to play and the waves are blown away.
Its simply wind, I can run but I can hide and I simply wont run away.

Sommer fun Capetown poem
It was eight months ago when I waved the jungle to hell.
The hussle and bussle tripped me into its clutches.
It was buzzing there ok but Capetown seemed so fair.
Trapped by the Jozi freed by the ocean.
I want to stay here and my heart loves the beat.
The sailing, the climbing the ecoing mountain.
The waves and the fynbos the clouds and gushing wind.
The culture and their coo girl vulture.
The kaapse klopse and the fresh water rotse.
Dis hier waar ek wil bly.
It is here that I want to stay.
I look up at the sky and I see the birds blown away .
But my heart is here to stay.
Capetown oh Capetown you saved me from old Jozi .
His clutches were strong and I new his City was wrong.
Captivating here, with the sunsets and sunrises, breakfast on the beach.
Sunsets at Clifton.
Sundowners at Blue Peter.
Sushi at the Capetown Fishmarket.
Shopping at Canal Walk.
Walks in Big Bay.
Blouberg where all the Kitesurfers play.
Houtbay to do seal Island.
Still to do old Robin Island.
Driving out to Betty’s Bay.
With good old friends Ros and Ianni we play.
Matroosberg’s killer hike in the snow.
The breede River and just that, its magnificent river.
Langebaan for romantic getaway weekends.
City Rock to build your muscles up like rock.
Devils Peak to make you squeek.
Lions head to make you free the space in your head.
Campsbay and its poppies.
The Raddison with all its rich toppies.
All colours all the fun, in Capetown bathing, playing, kicking up a storm in the sun.
So yeah, this is my heart put into my Capetown poem.
Like it or leave it.
Shape up or shift out.

Valentines day - The Bundublog poem
Roses are red Violets are blue.
Dear Mr. Editor I am so glad I have found you.
Bundu your space I simply love Bundu’s face.
The features are simple like my old cousins dimple.
Like Google and Gimp.
Like Bundu and YOU.
Together we’ll stand Together we’ll write.
Standing up to fight for our nation.
A nation with all sorts of people.
Fighting to strengthen their steeple.
Bundublog you make my heart beat faster.
Bundublog you make my fingers excited to write.
Bundublog you give me my own little space.
Bundublog you are my choice
Bundublog you have given me a voice.
Bundublog I’ll stand by you.
And forever use only you.
For my writing, my sighting and all my thinking.
Whether for my voice or my pain or.
Just my five seconds of fame.
Roses are Red who says Violets are blue ?
I know Bundublog rocks and so could you.

So I woke up this morning and I felt something warm next to me, I was in a daze and still in my banking account. I dreamt of a long awaiting commission run that was at long last paid into my account. A profound amount ..
And then as my eyes opened slowly flicking away the nights rest I was awakened to the most beautiful site. And seeing that it is valentines day soon, let me be a litte romantic and soppy. He was lying there asleep and he was mine. He looked so perfect and he looked so yummy. I thought to myself that their is only one thing that matters in life. Only one thing that makes the every day rattle and battle worth facing, worth enduring. Worth getting up for. And that reason was lying next to me cuddled up in a silent space. A welcoming space that only he and I shared.
I was next to the man that made my heart pound faster each time I saw him or when I saw his name ring up on my mobile. He was the reason why I got in my car after work and raced through the traffic jams. He was mine and my heart was telling no lies.
He was going to be around for many days to come and it felt just right. I knew right this morning with my first breath and my first thought …
that no matter what commission run paid me which amount of money, it could never ever match up to what I had felt for this warmth next to me in bed. Nothing could replace what I have inside for this man,
The editor …
I love you.
