Welcome to My Lasting Minutes.
This is a place where I share poetry, stories, and songs — words born from moments that inspired me, challenged me, or stayed with me long after they had passed. Along the way, I also share reflections on life as I’ve experienced and understood it.
To explore the site more easily, use the submenu items under Home, where you can browse:
My English Poetry
My Afrikaans Poetry
For readers who would like to understand the craft behind the poems, I’ve created two dedicated pages explaining key poetry terminology:

My hope with this blog is simple — to take a single worthwhile thought, a meaningful moment, or a lasting feeling and preserve it beyond its time; leaving behind something that may continue to speak long after I am gone.
In that same spirit, I try to be thoughtful and respectful with any information shared here. You can read my full Privacy Policy if you’d like to know more.
