Jayram Daya Poems

Seeing the smile on a pretty face,
Wanting to hear the steps that race,
Nostalgic smell I always chase.
Tasty kiss that wants to embrace,
...

Red rose for you my dear
We are near this year
Fresh from the morning dew
I am due from the few
...

Where the ancestor's spirits lives forever
Saluting Madiba for his endeavour
The dawn of freedom colours the eastern sky
Awake South Africa it's my cry
...

Childhood enrolled fun and play
With a demand all was done
Neglect and habits had no say
When playing was all in one
...

When hatred invaded a weak thought,
The mind was prepared for defeat.
It was the will that fought,
Anger attacked without retreat.
...

I see the stretching lips
Lining the nose above
I see the rounding cheek
Covering the eyes around
...

The lion never roars without a cause
Dawn breaks with the pride on the paws
In the wild go the hungry jaws
Courage and speed leaves no flaws
...

When you looked down on me
I looked up with hope
When I raced with the ants
I saw your toes go bye
...

In all, I do from now on,
I'll light the lamp anew.
Like my very first preview
I'll chase it through and through.
...

I see the sun, its glowing flame,
From Earth's slow spin, it claims its name.
Fresh air surrounds the first soft light,
Preparing hearts for morning's might.
