Still My Dreams Do Remain Poem by Gert Strydom

(for Annelize)

Still my dreams do remain
sometimes as things that are only dreams
but sometimes as reality
from that which had been and are still going to come
and in them I still do find you the perfect woman,
the one that do know me for who and what I am,
who do talk honestly and straightforward with me,
do look past the surface,
who really is beautiful
and for me do remain the most lovely of all women

and maybe a day will come
where I do have the capacity
to take care of you,
to make you again mine

and this dream is so near to reality
that I can almost smell your perfume
and your own fragrance
as if I am almost looking into your sunny eyes
and do become aware of a world
full of promises in their depths.
