Analysis of His thoughts of her

Darren C Swartland 1994 (Johannesburg)



His thoughts weren't swayed
like mere leaves blown by winds,
his mind trusted it's foundation.

Legs get carried away,
walking on snow clouds
made of more than infatuation.

Hands held on tightly
to what's in it's possession,
aware of value in a rarity.  

Lips spoke words of truth
showing both good and ugly,
communicating with love
comfortably.
