Gert Strydom Poems

Nowhere there’s a place
where I can describe,
what joy you bring me
with every passing day.
...

The lives of great heroes,
stars and true leaders
leave indelible imprints
in our thoughts each day.
...

The masks that we bear
hide our deepest pain,
which disappears behind the smiles
that we give the whole day
...

On one cloudy night you came
while it felt as all the world
was rushing by
and cars were driving
...

When you just started working
I took you on a date,
with the candlelight in the Spur
your eyes burnt deep dark brown.
...

I meet you at the coffee shop
of Exclusive in Hatfield
and we share some ice coffee
and you admire the rose
...

Early in the morning
I see her getting warm
in her small blanket,
while we drive to work.
...

My dearest writes a few words
that are very really striking
and I wonder how she knows
the reasons that I love her.
...

It has happened that a minister visits me
and ask for assistance,
that I cannot give
at that moment.
...

We met after twenty years
and it was a hot sunny day
and although you had changed,
you looked still as lovely as before.
...
