Woman (3)(Free Verse Sonnet And Small Ballade) Poem by Gert Strydom

(for Annelize, in answer to Elisabeth Eybers)

This is where I do find you
when after years you do climb back into my heart
and although a life-time is past
I do notice that your eyes do gleam the same

Chorus:
but if this hour becomes far and disowned
I did still pour out my love and wishes to you

Where you can bring days and nights for me to perfection
I wish that this moment would last forever,
I do want to be involved with your life and your heart
as between us an unslakeable fire does burn

and like a child I want to hope and believe and trust
that everything can become wonderful again,
that again I can find and discover you as a woman
that we can make each other's lives happy.
