Sweetheart (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

My doll, there is ground and grass in your eyes
and everything earthly did find its scope in you.
My girl, you do give me the ability
to fight the struggle of life for you
and you do remind me of roses and jasmine
as if flowers do hang everywhere around you,
when your eyes laugh or the sunshine in them
and like this you come into every day's big longing.
My sweetheart-doll, you do fill up my life,
moments are holy when you do accompany me in the garden,
to take out the weed and turn the soil over
and of every flower that I plant you do have knowledge:
there is a whole green and brown cosmos in your heart
and I do love you past times of happiness and sorrow.
