Sproeireën - D.J. Opperman
My nooi is in 'n nartjie,
my ouma in kaneel,
daar's iemand ... iemand in anys,
daar's 'n vrou in elke geur!
Toe wen ek n arsenal speserye
En ek kan kook,boeta ek kan kook
Ek eksperimenteer
Ek maak n killer chilli sous
En sommer koeksidters ook
Ek bak en brou
En die familie kuier en kou
Wat soek jy in die kombuis vettie?
Wetie gabba ek groei seker
Dink aan n meisie
En onthou hoe sy ruik
Knyp n narkieskil
Vryf n stukkie kaneel
Gorrel sommer met heuning en suurlemoen
Ouma kan ook na lafentel ruik
En die Kerrie antie
Uit die bobotie kbuis
Dit is n lekker mengelmoes
Van smake en kleure
En eksotiese geure
Ek plant vars kruie
En dit is hemels
Om blaartjies
deur jou vingerpunte te rol
saadjjies en grond
en bietjie hoennerstront
soete water
en siedaar
watertand mond
Lemon tree, very
pretty,
and the lemon flower is
sweet,
But the fruit of the lemon
is impossible to eat.
She is exotic like
saffron
She is fresh like
blossoms
She allures with musk
Can you resist her
aroma
get lost in her bosom
bitter sweet like life
that she is
savour it in your mouth
waft the gentle breeze
of her breath
the mysterious scent
between soft thighs
the pungency of lies
yet you go back
time after time
when smells
allure you
to her kitchen
her herb garden
and she says
Do not stare at me
because
I am dark, because
I am darkened by the
sun.
I have gathered my
myrrh
with my spice.
I have eaten my honeycomb
and my honey;
I have drunk my wine
and my milk.
Friends Eat,
Friends
, and drink;
drink your fill of love
Potpourri
