Amapondo Girl
I see what you
see...I feel what you wish to be...
Through the eyes of
my soul...I see into yours
Through the eyes of
my heart ...I see into yours... together we are free!
Green sugar- loafed
hills of the wild -wild Trans"kay"-
Clothed in primal
tight-skinned Kikuyu array
Sensual curves of
naked feminine display
Forested in places
where eyes should never stray...!
Wafts of fragrant
flowered breezes from secret hidden recesses
Intoxicates and
inebriates my sojourn into her Xhosa excesses!
Curtains of
salt-misted veils drift through her valleys and trails
Giant Waves crashing-
embracing eternal the lovers painful travails
I sit and ponder in
revelation and wonder...
Breathing in the
beauty of the land they call the "Amapondo""
I am awakened by the
wind- surfers shadow overhead
Hovering harmoniously
awaiting amorously for an unsuspecting head!
At night I stare into
her skies
Midnight diamond
eyes...and I realise who I am...
And she makes me
understand...how it is is to be a man!
How it is is to
believe that I can...I can!
Waterfalls, whales,
dolphins and treeses
Tell of her splendour
and how she does what she pleases
This woman , this
girl , this land ... this world...
Her soft, dark
earth... her love ...her worth....
Amapondo Girl you are
my world!
You are the stars of
the universe like a magic carpet unfurled...
You are the fearless
unknown - through the ages unbroken
Amapondo Girl,
Amapondo Girl...
As fresh as the
dew... as old as the world
I see what you
see...I feel what you wish to be...
Through the eyes of
my soul...I see into yours
Through the eyes of
my heart ...I see into yours...and together we are free
Amapondo Girl,
Amapondo Girl...
As fresh as the
dew... as old as the world!
