Bride And Groom Poem by Gert Strydom

With wonder and joy, like two gods
they are smitten with each other
at the new discoveries
of body, of soul and of happiness,
as they are the first to find
each other in this way

sprawling together, they get more intimate,
more intense, but with full sense
and while the days draw out
stretching in length
they take infinite care,

to be aware of each other,
in every detail and need
with every sense
as if tomorrow this feelings
may be lost.
