Gert Strydom Poems

His thoughts went back to how it once had been,
to the last kiss,
a kind of mockery in her laughter
to times of bliss,
...

A wounded leopard lies and spy upon the world,
around him there is the cooing of some doves,
guinea fowls and pheasants walk past moaning-moaning
where they are feeding their chicks.
...

(for Annelize)

I can never forget you
while I do know about our love
...

Wild winds blow strong
when some bad weather does come
as thunder does fall.
...

Shiny raindrops hang
bells to a small berry-tree,
a small bird dive in.
...

(for Annelize)

Your smile do linger
is just as your sunny bright eyes
...

(for Annelize)

Humble simple words
I want to bring barefoot to you,
...

(in answer to Sheila Cussons)

I did not find time to like her
to lay everything down at His feet,
...

(in answer to M. M. Walters)

He is the man that talks directly to God,
who refuses to be the son of Pharaoh's daughter,
...

(in answer to André letoit)

to rescue and save His followers,
to raise those that does love Him from the dead,
...
