Gert Strydom Poems

I love you,
more than mere words
can express.
...

I saw rows of white,
yellow and red lilies bloom,
next to the railway tracts.
...

I dream of a little house
that’s in a suburb,
or a place at the sea
just big enough for two.
...

Two guys talk on the bus
and are convinced that fifty rand for four,
very expensive
and plan a day
...

There are street hawkers
selling their wares
next to a wall build
of rocks and stone
...

The sweet kiss of our meeting
is a wonderful thing,
that daily brings pleasure to me.
...

I saw something of it
in the morning sunrise
on Clifton beach
and a bit was part of the rushing surf
...

I see a young girl
with auburn hair
and ink blue eyes
picking petals from a yellow flower
...

Right through the night
the armour is rolling forward.
Cannon thunder,
while rockets
...

At my second job,
before completing my degree,
like any other day
we were capturing
...
