Like A White Water Lily Poem by Gert Strydom

Like a white water lily
drifting on a dark pond,
you lay beside me.

Every part of you are pure
and heavenly designed,
to be more than perfect for me.

Your fingers entwine into mine
and your body,
softly touch me with caressing warmth.

I drift deeper into your centre core
and bind forever more
with something far greater,

than passion and physical rapture
of two hungry souls
and you remain mine

through the passage
of all time
and I know how deep

and far and wide
and sincere
your love really is.
