Gert Strydom Poems

Sometimes it's as if stars spark in your eyes
as if they glitter green,
sometimes there is something true and pure,
something more whiter than snow,
...

It was an icy winter afternoon
when I heard a bird crooning a cheery tune
and suddenly although feeling quite old
its song came as barrier against the cold.
...

What can I bring to you
in a world where everything is dark?
What can I give to you that are true,
what can I bring to you,
...

As far away as the blue
where the sun touches the hillocks
lies the things that was once true,
as far away as the blue
...

If what we have does surpass life and death,
if nothing could the essence of its presence remove,
if you are part of me and present in every breath,
then eternally it may stay as our own true love,
...

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

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
...
