Poems From the Heart/ Gedigte van die Hart

These poems are pieces of a life remembered. They come from days long gone, moments that linger, and emotions that never quite left. Some poems rhyme, others don't, because feelings rarely follow rules. What matters is the honesty behind them. This collection speaks about love in its many forms. Love hoped for, love lost, love that disappointed, and love that quietly endured. It does not pretend that love is always kind or easy.
Sometimes it hurts. Sometimes it asks more than we think we can give. Woven through these poems are memories, regrets, small victories, and the weight of perseverance. They reflect the struggle of holding on when life becomes heavy, and the slow understanding that endurance itself has meaning. The road is not gentle, but continuing to walk it can still be worthwhile. These poems are for readers who recognise themselves in quiet moments, who have loved deeply, lost painfully, and kept going anyway.
This is not a book of answers. It is a book of feeling, written from the heart, for those willing to feel along with it.
