»Flames«

by Hettie Van Zyl

I look through the flames of life
see you standing there
look at me, wave at me,
with your great big lovely smile,
blowing in the wind,
your corn coullerd yellow hair.

But stumbling on lifes
hard facts rocks rolling in my way,
to not get through
the flames of life
it blocks my thoughts my freedom
to get to you,
to stay with you and,
to alloud me to what I want to say.

But when this flames burnen down,
the rocks becomming sand,
its then that I will ran to you
toutch your dear face,
looking into your
wine sparkling eyes, holding your body in my so long waiting hands.

On this moment, it is
just a Fairy dream,
the facts are hard as rocks.
The flames of life,
still burning high,
silent me and, silent you.
Whe both are still falling over
lifes stumbling blocks.

  •  Christopher Kudyahakudadirwe: "your poem is good and carries a lot of poetic devices that are very saucy and meaningful. However, I suggest that you edit your work to avoid some minor mistakes here and there. But, English being your second language you can always work to improve I know."
