Juzna Afrika 85
falling together in the cold grass holding hands
on the hill side watching stars descend
forever seems like just an empty promise
we spent so long ago
but we were younger then.
each sour word
sounds so absurd
but lingers
in the air
while happiness
in an ashen dress
fades into
the years
each lonely hour
my heart has slept
has drifted back
to me
a splintered dream
of awful things
that now
have come to be
She said Go
I don't want you any more
She said Go
i don't need you now, my dearest
She said Go
i don't love
on the hill side watching stars descend
forever seems like just an empty promise
we spent so long ago
but we were younger then.

Mother's Eyes
Slowly she turns away
Oh, don't look anymore
There's only stillness
No more air can he draw
No time to say goodbye
No last little kiss
No life where bullets fly
And now it comes to this
What's left in her world
The child's gone
Softly she whispers
Where did I go SO wrong
My future, my baby
Tell me what's goin' on
No light in Mother's eyes
Nothing you can say
No answers for the whys
She'll ask every day
What's left for the world
The child's gone
