Marien Jacobs Poems
Lord, it's so easy for humans to deceive,
To act a little bit of make-belief.
To wound as they go without caring a dime,
And leave a broken heart for just another time.
...
I long to see you too,
I wish I could hear your voice,
It will never go through as a noise.
I long to look into your eyes,
...
Stop asking questions; I beseech,
Cause without complains I have reached
The point to say goodbye.
I wished you could have guess and say
...
What do you do when you love
but you can not tell,
when you're scared that you'll loose,
what you've never owned.
...
'Ek is lief vir jou'.
Donker, leë woorde, sonder betekenis of gevoel,
In die lug gespreek – te swewe, sonder teiken of doel.
Dit voor jy skielik net iewers in die niet verdwyn,
...
Jou het ek as mede kind van God leer ken,
Maar gou het jy my hart kom wen
En het ek 'n ware vriend in jou gevind,
Onsigbare bande het ons aan mekaar verbind.
...
Your eyes, my dear friend, are the windows of your soul
Which show that through the years, your inside's still not whole.
Your eyes reflect all your hurt; all your pain
Which lies before you like a lake after some rain.
...
(Dedicated to my Biology Teacher)
Life is not an easy game to play,
Especially not when I try to say
...
Hy was 'n vriend so naby aan U hart...
En tog het U geweet van al die smart,
Die pyn en lyding wat U sou verduur,
Deur 'n vriend, deur satan gehuur.
...
Wees stil en weet Ek is Heer,
En Ek gee jou krag as jy op My wag;
En niks in die heelal sal My kan keer,
Want Ek is God, en aan My behoort alle mag.
...
Oh ye kiss one desire most
The sweetness of his lips
The wordless expression of his love
The hearts deepest emotion flowing
...
There are four seasons in my tear
Dripping, flowing, flooding this year
Tears of love, struggles, longing and joy
Servants, by love employed.
...
Kom, lewe nie voort in die vlees,
Maar laat God jou vervul met Sy Gees;
Sonder heiligmaking kan jy God nie sien
En kan jy Hom nie waarlik dien.
...
(Dedicated to a friend who died in accident)
Where are you my friend?
You are gone
...
Here, ek verlang so om heilig te wees,
En heilig te leef deur die wandel met U Gees,
Sodat ek mag wees met die blaas van die basuin,
Tot eer van God; onberispelik, vlekloos en rein.
...
My vriend, vandag mis ek jou,
En my liefde sal nie verflou,
Want nie om 'n rede het ek jou lief nie,
Maar net omdat jy jy is.
...
Where were You
At such a time in his life,
When he needed you
To be there?
...
Die taal wat uit jou mond kom, walg my
Dis waarom ek begin het om jou te vermy.
Wees asseblief nie kwaad vir my nie, my maat,
Maar kom vra dan eerder raad.
...
Heer nederig kniel ek voor U neer,
Om van U alleen te leer,
Deur my te verneder voor U wil,
Met 'n gees rustig, eerbiedig en stil.
...
Moenie nou begin om vra te vra,
Want nou, sonder om te kla
Sê ek bey,
Ek het gehoop julle sou kon raai,
...
The Best Poem Of Marien Jacobs
My Love, My Life, My Future, My All
Lord, it's so easy for humans to deceive,
To act a little bit of make-belief.
To wound as they go without caring a dime,
And leave a broken heart for just another time.
Not again God, not another blow please!
Just a small feeling of love, and again I freeze.
One time of hurt have been more than enough
To make one cautious against even a dropp of love.
God how do I know when it's true or just a play?
When to believe the words that they say?
Is this whom I saw for real or just an act?
The things I think I knew, illusions or fact?
Two emotions at once – it's hard to explain,
The confusion inside, it just drives you insane.
To long for, yet fear love all at the same time,
To accept or reject love, both feels like a crime.
Which do you trust, your heart or your mind?
Which one does see and which one is blind?
Which will cause most hurt – to love or to flee?
When you're scared, yet still you want it to be?
Will it really give cover or refuge against pain
When you run away from love, maybe all in vain?
Trying to quench the small flame deep down inside,
While actually deep down you pray it will abide.
Lord, how long will this actually last,
Before time also give this a blast?
Will this also just fade away?
Or should I believe it's here to stay?
Will distance destroy like an unplanned theft?
To steel away and bring about an unbridgeable cleft?
Will friendship and love once again become the prey,
Of distance and time when I'm so far away?
Oh Lord, all this questions keep running in my head,
But I long for Your peace; to wait and sit at your feet instead.
Confusion wants me to draw back, run away and hide.
But in You I'll abide as You draw me nearer to Your side
And when I pour out my heart before You, my Prince of Peace,
My heart become still, knowing in You, fears and questions can seize.
Your words so clear: 'My child fear not', flood my soul,
And there's the cognition so strong, that my Father's in control.
In You are my love; my life; my future; my all,
As I stand before the Great I Am, Your child so small,
Knowing I can trust Thee, on You I can depend,
Your thoughts of peace for me, to give an expected end.
