Not Too Long Ago (English Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

Not too long ago we both knew a time of woe
but then into my life you came
and your smile on your face did glow
and never was a single day since then the same.

It feels that since ancient times
we have known each other from somewhere before
and these feelings are sublime
while daily we do love and adore each other even more.

There is something know and perfect to your face
something familiar, well loved in your speech
and I know how our feelings do daily linger as we embrace
as if forever we have know each to each

as if our feelings as a principle can never wear down
and I am glad, proud and honoured to call you my own.
