When we do meet again (Rubliw)

When we
do meet again
in a week or a month
it will seem as if forever
has set its mark and each kiss does remain
when we again are together
but the being apart
did tear the heart
in two.

Again some tears will fall (Rubliw)

Again
some tears will fall
like great fountains of rain
and words and deeds even though small
will have an impact on the inner heart
and where we do both live apart
we will know the great pain
separation
does bring.

When the last tears are spent

When the last tears are spent
and the missing grows too much
and all of the well and loving wishes are sent
and every grief and grouch
 
has faded to oblivion
then still you will be in my thoughts
while I do pray for a Zion
with you in it and that which I do sought
 
and for everlasting love and trust
and for a life that is worth living
and in heaven a place for the just
and an everlasting spring
 
but now we are broken
and our sorrow and pain remain unspoken.

Surfing the ultimate wave (Rubliw)

We will
seek the great thrill,
surf in hurricane waves
experience the surf, the swell
with all our fears tossed away to hell,
and all of us will be past brave
our small party of men
will try again
with skill.

Being green

At the starting of the Angola Civil war
during December 1975 a armoured car
of battle group X-Ray attacked the enemy
in the town of Lobito who did run away and flee
 
and the commander of the Eland-90 armoured car
got instructions to be part of the stopper group
on the enemy’s escape route
and stopped the armoured car
in the middle of the road
on top of a small hill
in the turret under position
 
when Unita joined in and looted the town
and a little 1200-Datsun approaching at full speed
and the crew commander jumped down
shouted at the breaking car not to proceed
 
and when it got to a halt told the occupants
(who consisted of three enemy officers and a Cuban)
calmly in Afrikaans to reverse
as the armoured car’s main weapon
cannot shoot at such a short distance
and took his position again
in the crew commander’s hatch
 
and the men were young and green,
exploding RPG-rockets had never been seen
and a swoosh sound was heard and a loud bang
that was so close that it made their ears sang
 
and Unita captain Johnny Cappella did shout:
“har pee gee” over and over again,
and unexpectedly it started to rain,
the people in the car realized there was no way out
 
and the little Datsun reversed and turned around,
caught speed spraying mud and lots of ground
but calmly the armoured car’s gunner took a HE 90 shot
and the little car exploded with a thunderous sound.

Breathless (Rubliw)

Breathless
you do leave me
under a pale blue sky.
With a glance of your eye
I do float without any gravity
and I wonder what does remain
of how we were before
as loving is
like this.

My love (Rubliw)

My love,
no other women
has moved me like you do
and you bring possibilities
of what true love is supposed to be
and fuel my innermost passion
with feelings that are true
and real bliss is
like this.

Love is (Rubliw)

Love is
the things we miss
and yet its not just bliss
or something hidden in a kiss
but the simple kindness of every day
the small words and acts that we may
in the depths of the mind
do leave behind
or miss.

Loving has a skill (Rubliw)

Winter
brought its own rest
and in the time of chill
when all was stripped to the core
you were very kind to me, and much more
when I was tired and somewhat ill
and loving has a skill
that at its best
restores.

Much more (Rubliw)

You do
cross the tar road
and my heart leaps with pain
while I wish that you will remain
and the wind does jerk at your skirt, your hair
while to me you are very fair
and my emotions overload
and I love you
much more.
