Without Boundaries I Wanted To Go To You (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

(after N. P. van Wyk Louw, in answer to Elisabeth Eybers)

With the absolute truth of life I wanted
in our sincere love totally unembellished
name the unspoken real things to you
from which other people might at times keep away,
I wanted to trust you with the dark things that do hesitate.
Simply humbly without reaching for vanity
I wanted to tell you how noble you come into my thoughts
as out of deep reflection a person does look at the unconsciousness.
Where that which is between us does flicker in the lines of my verses,
I wanted to go nobly and sincerely to you,
to tell you about you and me without fabricating anything
in sorrow, fun, bliss and also in the pains of life,
as a mere human with defects and abilities stand before you,
when I did realise for you my love, all my words are far too few.
