Prudence turned passionate
Flames on her skin
Violation occurs
Passion forcefully reversed to prudence
With rapt attention she turned off the beat of her heart, her mind breaking down blood, muscle and bones to crash her...

My Sun
Probably too early to call for you to come again,
minutes after your descent is prepared.
My unclouded mind trapped by cotton patches,
as your eyes flicker complete with eye lashes.
Oh - honey scent spill onto the canvass,
the...

by Lize-Leandra Ehlers
I Lize-Leandra Ann Kubersky, solemnly swear to cherish the sunshine that my home Namibia offers. Rainy days will come; unexpectedly we might even see hail, but no matter on which month of the calendar, the sun will always surface. I just returned...
Policemen Paranoia

Policemen Paranoia
Freedom of the focal point is as limited as can be
You wish to capture a moment
A smile or just the scenery…
I think I need to tell you
What is wishful thinking
and what is reality.
In uniform - as universal they...
Poverty
(Poetry)
2-05-2007
by Lize-Leandra Ehlers
Poverty
The eradication of poverty starts with definition
No misunderstanding,
No misinterpretation
Reality, just listen, there dies another little one.
Poverty is not: “Meme, outere 50 sent
It is not chosen
It is not self-inflicted....

Salinas
Little Salinas baby
Your mothers’ eyes are empty
The veins on her breasts
Seep full with troubles
Troubles her empty eyes have seen
She chews Manijok like bread
The most typical African root
Her body tattered and torn

The importance of being earnest
(Poetry)
9-02-2007
by Lize-Leandra Ehlers
The importance of being earnest
How universal it may be
Thunderbolts it struck me
as I yet again wanted to flee
Flee from what I wanted, what I needed
Flee from my own me.
Infinite postponing of one's true desires
creates a pending...
Triple T and Miss X
(Poetry)
20-03-2007
by Lize-Leandra Ehlers
Where do you go when you stare at a utensil in life?
Namely, the fork.
Gravel or tarred, you may ask,
yes, the decision is hard.
You formulate individual weight,
But the scale stays in universal equilibrium.
Both in both

Two weeks in Angola
(Short Story)
17-04-2007
by Lize-Leandra Ehlers
Little we know of Angola, our neighbouring country full of hidden secrets.

Under the ice
(Poetry)
26-04-2007
by Lize-Leandra Ehlers
Under the ice
I weep and I wail,
I am separated from the surface,
the space between the ice and my face,
is the size of your hatred, of your ignorance and your craze.
The cold knives of injustice stab me in the back.
They stab and stab and...
