Gert Strydom Poems

To the UN of the Zaporizhzia plant
the Russians do not want to give control,
want to freeze Ukrainians to death on the whole
when the severe winter comes, do not want
...

Merry tunes crept from your fingers
when on the piano
you played out your heart,
making it part
...

To Tavriske the Russians are near
while they try to get to Mykolaiv City,
more Russians want at Blahodatne to be,
but do attacks on supply-lines at Kharkiv fear,
...

I look at her and there is pure magic about
it's as if I am enchanted in a kind of witchery
she draws my heartfelt feelings out
where she has got this great impact on me
...

As vague trembles that do You indicate,
Your Spirit burns in me,
while birds do day and night sing songs of praises to You,
I find the same melody in the waves that break,
...

My Lord in You alone I find righteousness,
I know that with wisdom You do settle my disputes.
Where you do walk with me day by day
you see how I act in every situation
...

At Pisky the Russians are moving along the veldt
did turn and from the south they did gain,
while positions in a secondary line is held,
...

The night is arriving
with twilight and the lonesome evening star
accompanied by a yellow friendly moon
and soon it will be dark.
...

A drone-gun forces Russian drones to land.
Equipped with a remote and old mobile phone,
his phone gives a disconnected tone,
the Russian soldier do not understand
...

See-through clothes covering a body
is usually more bewitching to me,
than total nudity
and in the imaginings
...
