maudlin poem
It’s Catz Pyjamas at 3am
The pasta’s lousy the pizza too
I’m sitting here drunk
Thinking of you
By the way
I’m not at Catz for the food
Nor for the service
I’m here ‘cos it’s open
Bitter bitter liefde soos asyn
Het my gebreek
En ek wag vir verlossing
Ek wag vir iets soets
tonight i went looking for you at the Bo
you were not behind the counter
you were nowhere to be found
i looked inside my whiskey glass
i looked inside my mind
you were nowhere to be found
i remember when you told me not to drown
the gin in too much tonic
well babe, the double i’m drinking
is in your honour
and the double i’m pouring
is to chase it with
The thing is babe I never thought of myself as merely another contender
for your
v-shaped throne
See you’ve got me squashed between
Your Ruby and your Cypress tree, or, to
Put it another way, this heart of mine
needs to be broken in order for me
to come back again
and each time
I come back
I come back
better
Y’see time has a funny way
of always being
on time
You’ve merely got to learn
to throw away the clock
So look around you Priestess
You’re the only player on my stage
I was born to applaud every wiggle of your hips
Draw closer little angel
Let me drink your magic nectar
Straight from your perfect lips
Ah Babe I’ve got no secrets
You know I worship at your altar
You know I’m your lamb to slaughter
liewe skat ek het ure op jou sit wag
ure van die top 100 worst videos ever
my taalgebruik is ‘n vorm van ballingskap
en ek het lank gelede met dwelms gestop
maar vandag is ek byna bereid
om ‘n uitsonderings posisie te neem
no man you talk a lot of kak
here’s a hunchback
liewe skat ek het ure op jou gewag
ek is kak geselskap as ek nugter is
Ek is te moeg om te smile
Ja, regtig, ek sal dit nog een keer herhaal
Ek is te moeg
Om te sterf
Om te huil
Het jy my goed verstaan?
Ek is te moeg om te skree
Sonder jou is daar geen sonskyn
Sonder jou is daar net skaduwee
En duisternis
Ek is te moeg om hierdie gedig te skryf
Daarom bestel ek nog een drankie
Want ek is nie te moeg
Om te drink nie
