Witchery Vi (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

(for Annelize)

I remember us at a time together at the Spur restaurant
at a candle with your eyes big and your nose lifted in spirit
and you remind me about rain coming down
with a terrible drought throughout the land
and just like then I am dumbstruck by you,
I cannot hide my feelings,
I cannot stop looking at you
and with love I am still stupid,
I do not know how to tell about the gleaming of your eyes,
with which you are climbing back into my heart,
about their colour and your smile
and with words I am sometimes stupid and clever
but it's witchery that you do perpetrate
and simple words that I do write down.
