Yesterdays #2

Take and Give (and Take)

I made a discovery today. I found the most illogical creation ever. It is so chaotic that not one person has ever found the solution to it (or at least no one who lived to tell the tale).
It is commenly known as relationships. The give and take of the heart. Emotions.
It reminds me of this dream I have sometimes; a never ending struggle to get somewhere, you can't stop, but each step is like stabbing yourself with a sweet needle. It turns and turns and turns, the ####. Then finally just before I reach my goal I collapse, spent beyond my limits.

I usually wake up around 5 am. So also relationships seem to be this uphill struggle towards someplace better. I never reach the top... yet I never quite fall to the bottom. Some part inside screams at me to try again, do it better, don't give up.

To get back to relationships, 'scientific study' (my opinion) shows that the biggest problem is a misinterpretation/disconnection of interaction.
Recent happenings show my theory to be true. My best friends turn on each other and 'plukked' because one of them can't express himself good enough for the other. (Like always I put myself in the middle... stupid?)
Still don't know if it'll work out.
Still I would never survive this world without my heart. Relationships, our pain and pleasure...

Yesterdays #1

Langs jou is rooi rose grys
En in hul dans vir die mooiste blom
Drom bye om jou in n gesuis.
Tog kyk hul net na die:
Blome, Bloeisels en Blou oë.

Ek sal daar wees
en my wonder uitspreek,
maar nie oor die:
Blome, Bloeisels en Blou oë, nee
Eerder oor jou kalm
dans verby al die gespuis

En sou ons dan loop,
die padjie langs die see,
sou dit genoeg wees
om my te dra.
Genoeg om nie te vra:
Hoe lank sal jy bly?

Want elke dag met jou,
is 'n lewe volmaak
'n glimlag vol vreugde
en liefde.

In 'n sekond van waansin,
is jy geskape.
Perfek selfs in jou slaap
Elke fout 'n meesterstuk.
Gebore om hartsnare te pluk.
