I Am The Wanderer (Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

(for Annelize)

I am the wanderer of a man and you are the spring goddess
with your laughter and eyes in a summer sunny-ardour
and you are in my heart, my soul and spirit and in my blood
from our very first meeting from the beginning
and here I do pray you into my days,
I do not want to and cannot guard against your love
and that your love for me is lasting I have suspected for a very long time
as nothing can fabricate that which is between us like a kind of game.
You are my inspiration for the days that still have got to come
and I love you with everything that is in me,
where constantly I am speechless with your humanity and beauty,
you do bring daily new meaning to my life
and I do not want to and cannot disguise my feelings for you
as to you and me they are no great secret.
