With Words (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

(for Daleen)

With my words, spirit and soul
my hands, lips and mind
and without any kind of fear
I want to know you on the other side
and so very deep in my heart
you found a place for your lair,
stood by me in times of my sorrow
and in you I believed like a child
where you do bring tranquillity and joy
and also do turn my whole world around,
you make my heart sing and jump wildly,
do know me as a man intimately and honour me
and you are fully a perfect woman,
the one around who I build all of my dreams.
