Day/Night

Sitting alone in silence for hours
Enjoying the glistening water and the burning sun
Listening to the rain and slowly dreaming away
Wandering around the city
Peaceful, Satisfied
Day turns into night
Light turns into dark
Head touches the pillow
Loneliness pops up
And doesn't leave before
The rising of the sun

City

Lights shining bright into the streets

Sounds of the subway keep the people half awake

Cars and cabs keep the streets alife

Homeless people are drinking and yelling

Cats seeking for food around the garbage

A night in the city

SHe

She was smart and quiet

He was social and smart

She was beautiful, but sometimes unsure

He knew he looked good, but never showed it

She was always wonderin’who she was and where she was going

He was living in the very moment

She was glowing, when surrounded by the right people

He was over excited, but laidback

She only let few people into her heart

He gave everyone a small piece of his

She was creative and loved to write and draw

He was very social but loved alone time after all

She had a hard time letting things go

He knew how to accept the way things go

She was always stormy like the wind

He was always calm like still water



He was high on life

She was high on love

He was in love

She was in love

He enjoyed cooking and dining

She enjoyed dinners and good food

He loved making fire

She loved staying warm

He once opened up and cried

She opened her heart and smiled

He prefered sleeping together

She prefered not sleeping alone

He was amused by the people of the city

She was amused by the rush of the city

He was never too late

She was always on time



He began wondering who he was and where he was going

She understood

He left

Citygal

A girl without her city is like mother nature without water, without sun.
There is nothing that feeds her.
People might think I’m overreacting, but this is the truth.
While others may describe the sounds of the city as noise,
for me it’s like music to my ears.
I would choose crowded over quiet,
And traffic over empty streets.
I’d rather hear honking taxi’s than silence of the nothingness.
I don’t mind take aways on every corner of the street.
I prefer light over dark.
I love a little life in the middle of the night,
In fact I can’t sleep without hearing the subway every other minute.
You can take me out of the city, but you can’t take the city out of me.

My journey

No drama, no tears.. one quick hug and I walked away without looking back.
I hopped on the plane, like I hop on the bus every other day.
Little did I knew that it would be love at first sight.

I faced obstacles while climbing a moutain, but I reached the top
I found peace of mind and an amazing view.
And while I was standing on my board I could feel the effect of the Indian Ocean.
Coloured houses and coloured people, coloured my day.
I wandered around the city as I was one of them, one of the locals.
And as the sun went down, reality set in.
It was time to hop on the plane, like I hopped on the mini bus every other day.
Compared to the last time, I cannot say no drama..

Tears welled up in my eyes when I left Cape Town.
I felt at home in this rainbow nation.
I kept looking back until the city disappeared behind the clouds.
Yes Cape Town was beyond my imagination.
