You Jerked Me Out Of My Dark Yesterdays Poem by Gert Strydom

1
Almost out of myself I search for all kinds of answers,
do talk alone with an expert or sometimes in a group.
I thought all kinds of love for me did wither away
with this silent kind of unknown pain
and it's as if eternally in life I am without answers,
cannot and do not want to avoid the impact of destiny,
by their own days, months and years do jog past.
2
I want to find something to stop my destruction,
everyone that I think could help I do call in
but unexpectedly by yourself you came to me,
like an angel suddenly prominent appeared in my life,
as if sent from God in the word with black upon white,
as if presciently I do see you again:
"I am going to marry you, " you say directly straight to me.
3
Speechless and suddenly enraptured I look at you
while silently in my thoughts I call on God,
and with unexpected things you do leave me dumbstruck,
it's as if you cannot disappear out of my thoughts,
as if unexpectedly you possess part of my soul and spirit,
as if you came to stay in the deepest part of my heart,
while my dogs do happily cry and bark at you.
4
You have caught me and my heart wants to race away,
when I visit and have to leave you cry on the porch
and time and again you turn my days and my whole life around,
you are in my flesh, my spirit, heart and soul and mind.
I love you sincerely and at times you do insist say it,
holy en passionate and earthly is the thing between you and me
you do make me brave, undaunted, sincere and silly.
