Gert Strydom Poems

It's as if perfect all our days together will be.
At times I do you with small things tease
and together we do have days filled with fun
while we do great beauty in each other see
...

Remember me when you lie in your fluffy-soft bed,
when the gardenia blows in on the wind,
when you say your prayers to God
and in a restless sleep turn over and over.
...

You are in my heart, spirit and soul
and now I wonder what did you and I
before we knew of love that cannot die,
that nothing does its magic control,
...

My God, senseless people ineptly do rule over me,
You know how we do suffer and we are not free
and at times I stand in life in total dismay
but hide close to You as if these dark days will forever stay.
...

When I come to you as your bridegroom
my heart sings a song of love to you,
you do take me to places far past sorrow
when you leave me dumbstruck as my darling,
...

From the first moment you did me beguile,
it was as if you brought happiness in despair,
still your perfume hangs in mind's air.
Just give me a kiss and a sweet smile,
...

When my heart sings in passion over you
where you are constantly everywhere with me
then love is a sweet fig, a piece of my memory,
which brings everything to fruitfulness,
...

In life I have learnt to laugh at fate
even if my existence it did betwixt,
while by your true love I was fixed,
to live on while people do me hate,
...

My God, senseless people ineptly do daily rule over me,
You know how my people and I do suffer and I am not free
and at times I stand in life in dismay while life is in disarray
but hide close to You, as if these dark days will forever stay.
...

You are the word that is all life,
who spoke at the very origin
who caused all things to begin
in a perfect way without any strife.
...
