Gert Strydom Poems

My most beautiful memories of you
I experience again in a dream,
where you fold your clothes on a rock
...

Life have made me careful of womankind,
to look for subtle ways that to them belong,
that quickens the heart and do stun the mind,
the delicate snares a man can fall among,
...

The loud noise
of school girls
that shouts at each other on the bus
banish every thought
...

All that really matters is God
and although the world is totally rotten
nothing can make His atoning sacrifice in vain
or the love that does protect in every commandment
...

Two of the Russian navy Raptor class
patrol boats have been totally destroyed
on a timid sea as clear as blue glass.
They did not have chance to be annoyed
...

Iryna, today the fighting is intense,
we fight to halt the Russian advance.
in the barrage to eat chips I got a chance,
in all of this my love for you is immense,
...

(for Annelize, after Elizabeth Barret Browning)

I love you by God's perfect will and grace,
where along with me you do strive for right
...

It's hard to move weapons and equipment
while in Ukraine it's muddy all over the place,
where people do a terrible winter face,
...

Anyone stays at a place
where he feels comfortable
or find no place to stay
and anyone chooses a mate,
...

'The war in Ukraine will continue
until the complete defeat
of Russia. We have already
lost, the rest is just a matter
...
