Gert Strydom Poems

I

On the other side of known reality
there is a dimension that threads the world bare
...

On another earth
in another place and time
you will again be mine
but while your adult offspring
...

Like a thunderbolt from a blue sky
you came suddenly into my life
and now that you are my wife
there is great heartache in each goodbye
...

Pests like
Ebola, Aids, do strike
and crime is running rive
while in jeopardy is each life.
...

You do burrow right into my soul
through every barrier that I have made
and when you are near
every resistance crumbles
...

We will
meet each other
on a bright summer day
or in the chilly winter May
...

You do
cross the tar road
and my heart leaps with pain
while I wish that you will remain
...

Winter
brought its own rest
and in the time of chill
when all was stripped to the core
...

Love is
the things we miss
and yet its not just bliss
or something hidden in a kiss
...

My love,
no other women
has moved me like you do
and you bring possibilities
...
