Wordless (Rubiyat Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

(for Annelize)

Wordless your eyes will feast upon my face
for silent moments we will each other embrace
I will glance upon the marks of the decades
with a finger all the lines on cheeks trace

your sweet lips will be soft under mine
and to me you will look godly almost divine
while I will for moments glance into your soul
and that day will be splendid far past just fine

and the tranquil coloured evening will come
while in silence we walk to your beautiful home
while I glance now and again at your sunny eyes
and we will be breathless be overjoyed in welcome,

be matured but as a boy and girl very much in love
with feelings and emotions that no one can remove.
