She danced among the planets, her head twirled within the stars, the universe her playground, her hair a shade of Mars,
Saturn’s rings do grace her fingers, Queen of the final frontier, too pure a soul to grace this world, you could never just stay here,
Untamed celestial beauty, drifting further out of orbit, her body knew of gravity, her soul chose to ignore it,
May we one-day meet again, so we can spread our angelic feathers, for now my love I’ll wait my turn to drift among the Heavens.
Tempting as it may seem, do not loose yourself in daydreams, for real life is filled with wonders, all the beauty all around us,
The trees filled with flowers and crisp leaves, the scent of which draws all the busy bees, the sun shining through with it’s warm beams, the soothing sounds from river streams,
Take a second to breath in the fresh air, don’t be shy, the birds don’t mind if you stare, take a minute to lay in the tall grass, just relax and watch all of the clouds pass,
Hear the barking of dogs in the distance, hear the secrets the cool wind whispers, just let mother nature embrace you and your daydreams will encompass this space too
Take me in your arms so I may embrace you like the seasons, the scent of Spring surrounds you, the warmth of Summer your blanket, gentle as an Autumn leave falling, comfort like a Winter’s day morning,
All the beauties of this world, personified in your presence, embodiment of true love’s essence, your prayers filled with blessings for all things around you, so glad that I found you, the appreciation I will give you will astound you, heavens fallen angel, but even that could not ground you.
Cape Town, my beloved city, bright lights they do adorn her, mountain peaks and busy streets, beauty on every corner, sweet smelling flora, most majestic fauna, just a handful of her wonders make it hard not to adore her,
The mother city, all her children, a cultural melting pot, flavours of all ethnicities, together they have been brought, such great unity, a home for all that have sought, her splendour chases you, and just know you will be caught, give thanks to our forefathers, for this is why they fought,
The beauty of bustling beaches, the great Garden route, the history of the Cape flats, the depth of our local roots, the summit of Table mountain, in hardy hiking boots, snowing Ceres mountains and delicate fynbos shoots, the mother city welcomes you
Your mind a treasure trove, your body a burning stove, your soul a peaceful land, love more bountiful than desert sand
I can’t help but stare into your eyes as they lead me on a new adventure, what an angelic presence, no conjecture, heart to heart, high blood pressure, let our spirits moan with the tone of a heavenly falsetto
Take my hand and fling me to new lands unknown, let us float through the stratosphere, swim the caverns of the deepest seas, dance throughout the galaxies and set our imaginations free, babe become as one with me
The first time we met, I had no idea you would change the way I see the world, I had no idea life could feel this way, I would gladly take your hand into the sunrise to seize each day
You opened my eyes to colours and the way that they feel, the passion of a fiery crimson sunset, sweet serenity of amber fields and rolling green hills, the soothing azure of an ocean riddled with ripples
You helped me hear words unspoken, realise dreams untold, to sit surrounded by darkness and watch the beauty unfold, be cleansed by the purity of a blinding light, to find what matters most, to stand and fight
You showed me the world through your charming eyes, so full of hope, your touch in anxious moments has helped me cope, your calming voice in the silence of deafening depression, your acts of kindness when faced with raw aggression
You understand me and I pray I understand you too, soulmates on an astral plane, a real love so true, everyday a new connection, our true love brand new
I saw all of your red flags, embraced your every flaw, you thought it would deter me, but it made me love you more
An open book of concealed codes and cryptic messagery, I hang upon your every word, your mind a gold mine to me
Your body a map of endless treasures, danger in graceful motion, I can provide it with endless pleasures, I give you my body’s devotion
So open up your heart to me, as I’ve opened mine to you, on bended knee I promise thee, our love shall remain true
I have spent countless nights beneath the stars, surrounded by woods and the company of wildlings, lifetimes in icy tundras, a chilling loneliness the frost brings
Scorching days of desert heat, blistering signs of near defeat, the crashing waves of ocean storms, homeless nights out on the street
I have set foot on paths uncovered, where no man has stepped before, layed my head on beds of flowers, where no heads have layed for sure
I have seen wonders of the modern world and Marvels of the past, but a beauty such as my lost love, has yet to be surpassed…
More beautiful a curse is yet to be imagined, more painful a blessing is yet to be fathomed,
So tiny a trinket of most epic proportions, sweet words fall from her lips with underlying distortions,
When evil surrounds you and you feel you can not cope, all that remains is inside you, all that remains is hope.
