Gert Strydom Poems

A long hot lovely fruitful December
when in that summer you were with me
I do over and over now remember
as if no such summer will ever be
...

Where silver candlesticks guards against the darkness
I hear the dripping of water that falls
and over the windowsill novelties are displayed,
the candlelight in the bathroom flickers dimly
...

(after William Shakespeare)

Where to and about you are written in my poetry
people do about our love and our feelings know
...
