I Want To (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

I Want To (Free Verse Sonnet)



Eagerly I want to bring happiness to you,
write verses about love in sincerity
and you are in my head, soul, hart and body,
between us there is much more than just emotion.
About you constantly I want to sing a song of praise,
rub your hands warm in the bleak cold winter,
describe my feelings and principles to you,
although the world around us is twisted
Day and night I want to give myself to you,
come with taste like yellow wild-peaches,
joyful like wild-plums cover your branches,
with the patience of eucalyptus trees forge affinity,
silently like medlar amaze you with fruit
as in my heart, soul and life you have got a place.
