If I Could Catch You In A Verse (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

(in answer to Lina Spies)

If I could catch you in a verse
no beauty or depth would be able to express you,
then eternally you would hang for a moment in the universe
but my inability does pull me to humble words,
where you do make lame my reasoning and analysis
while words by them self about beauty do break through to heaven
but yet I do thank God, who does touch my words,
who does restrain me to light the fires of hell here on the earth,
where your name becomes for me something holy and noble,
where the rhythm does praise you as a companion and wife,
where God does pour out His blessings on words and on you and me
when you do keep bringing me the joy for words
and both of us stand naked before Him and each other
where our days go to the end of everything.
