I Become Aware Of You While You Come To Me (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

(in answer to André Letoit)

I become aware of you while you come to me
with the sun in your eyes that gleam when you do laugh,
the mere darkness you make light for me
and with you I am enchanted and dumbfounded,
you do turn around my whole life and my days,
you are my darling and my source of heat at night,
the one on whom I had been waiting for a life-time,
our love is new and sincere and undisguised:
like Adam and Eve we stand before each other,
in the fall to sin we are naked and exposed
but it's as if for eons we do know each other,
do know each thought, each glance and every gesture,
this tells about our small and bigger feelings something,
yet there is so much that we still have got to discover.
