In A World Apart From This Poem by Gert Strydom

In a world apart from this
love stays true and ever kind,
are not blanketed by a changing mind
our bound by passing bliss

and there love brings no pain
is always sheltered against the dark plain
does not alter with circumstance or by choice
and remain

strong and true, forever unspoilt

and we, who cannot understand the power of a kiss,
the magic in bliss, in its pleasure
blindly go into darkness, wander into the world
afraid to miss something in all of this

causing unending pain and failing in our humanity.
