Gert Strydom Poems

In the early morning
dew covers every piece of grass and flower
and I see green sprouts in the soft ground
...

Deep in your eyes I saw another universe
a place of love, peace and rest
and I was aware of the depth of our love,
did know that I do not really deserve you.
...

How lovely you are but you are unaware of it
and sometimes it's as if the sun shines through your humanity,
sometimes it feels as if I have know you for years
as if you fit perfectly into my soul, into my life,
...

For far too long I have searched for you
and when I saw you the first time
there was the sudden recognition
as if I had found a part of myself in you,
...

Her eyes is shining as the stars in the night
and with a type of grace
they sparkle bright, with an own true light
...

Love me with sincerity,
with the true feelings in your heart
in times of loss and of prosperity
...

Let our love be as it ought
while you are true to me,
with something special in every thought
...

When you are with me,
time has no capacity to schedule us.
When kisses fall like rain,
there is no pain, no sorrow
...

If I could just have my own way with you
I would stick onto you like strong clear glue,
be accompanying you throughout the day
like some magic coming out of the blue,
...

Could I compare you
to a single summer day
being kindly warm
and ever caring
...
