I believe that art 
can transmit joy.

I believe that art 
can transform sorrow.

I believe that art
can change minds.

I believe that art 
can heal hearts.

I believe that art
is magic.

If I had never loved you I would not know 
what it is to stop fearing love
If I had never loved you I would not know
 that one man's smile 
could be my favourite song
If I had never loved you I would not know
 how endless a sky can be
If I had never loved you 
I would not have written you poetry
I would not have written myself poetry 
to survive your absence

Thank you for the years we were together
hundreds of nights spent talking
 about everything and nothing
Thank you for your wisdom
 the truths you opened my eyes to
all the sweet warm memories
 and the ones less so
Thank you for this knot in my throat 
when I see the silhouette
 of a beautiful bearded man
how I always think they're you

Thank you for this experience of LOVE
Thank you for this experience of GRIEF
Thank you for this  constant PAIN
 that forces me to FEEL
to live, to grow, to discover the REAL ME
This is the last,
 most treasured gift you left me...

verveer engele ook
met die draai van seisoene
as dit warmer raak 
so warm dat hellevuurvonke 
hulle vlerke skroei
heilige bloed laat vloei

daars ń rede dat ek vra
want ek sien soms dat
die spook van my geliefde
donswit engelvere 
in sy vlenter vilthoed dra

jy grou 
roekeloos rond
in my seer siel
tot die bloedsmaak 
in my mond
proe na liefdes woorde 
en lee beloftes

Jou lag is
‘n oopgebreekte granaat
Lag weer...

2 Years of Nojoto this dog Sadness
 is gnawing at me
again.
I sit in this room 
with a big hole
chewed in my
side.
all I want 
are some gentle
moments
to fall like soft
raindrops.
they will not arrive.
