Gert Strydom Poems

Fast asleep I thought I heard of footsteps the sound,
as if you were there disturbing my rest,
in the moonlight I saw you with your hair unbound
and I saw the slight heaving of your breast.
...

(in answer to Alexander Sergeyevich Pus)

You are as a darling and wife still mine
where now with you it's as if I am bound:
...

Your lips I have know as soft scented red
while you laid next to me right through the night,
their words do remain in my heart and head
while together we talked to the first light
...

I do you in my life and my days miss
but I was not born just to be your friend,
you are adamant our marriage to end,
never again to kiss or to have bliss.
...

You said a last final goodbye to me,
your soft moist lips I now do remember,
it was a summer in a December,
I knew that different my life would be,
...

That all is well with a marriage on hold,
I will not for you or the world pretend.
Sending me away do what is left rend
and some say that this they have foretold.
...

If no true love were present in my heart
letters and poems to you would be un-writ,
candles in the bathroom would be unlit,
...

Every day I pray for my lovely wife
who is from me out of her choice astray,
that You will protect and guide her in life
as it passes out sight day after day
...

Very early you called this morning,
outside fluttered and cooed a dove,
you caught me with surprise without warning,
remain to eternity forever my love,
...

I do through and through know real loneliness.
In any time and any kind of place
I will recognize your beautiful face
its charm its character and loveliness.
