When I Write In Hundreds Of Poems [5] Poem by Gert Strydom

(in answer to Herman de Coninck)

When I write in hundreds of poems about you and our love,
it's as if you do not really understand the impact of my words

and when click-clack you walk along the corridor
you do want me to follow on your heels,

when you do lie across the bed
you want me to be close to you,

your words that you do love me sincerely
asks that I do acknowledge that I do love you above everything

and like this you want me to get involved with everything of you,
as if love is much more than any words.
