Gert Strydom Poems

There is severe chilliness coming suddenly
when with rain winter does surprise you and me,

It's with you that shelter against every thing I find,
...

Between us the words were few and far between
while we were in the act of love and its bliss
were tenderly you did again and again me kiss
while we changed from how we had been
...

(in answer to Daniel Hugo)

Mere moments comes to fullness in the new day
where you do become part of the cycle of my life
...

(in answer to Daniel Hugo)

Like a jumping star that flaming does fall
of which the power does flow out into space
...

(after Danie Marais)

You are as straight as the N1 through the Karoo
and in your promises I can believe and trust,
...

(after Totius)

From the eons You do know the path that I have got to go
You do measure my days out in the time of my trivial existence,
...

In every small bird that watches me at the window
it's as if You do look at me with Your love
and like this the sparrow chirps, the dove does coo and the weaver twitter
while constantly I do think of You,
...

In bliss your white body glows in the dark
where streched out you lie in your sleep
as if in another world you do embark
while an arm do me close to you keep.
...

The day in front of the pulpit is in my memory
the prayer mat, you pretty in your white wedding-gown,
the chandeliers, your hand in mine I remember fondly
and the words that made you my own
...

Love is like the air that we breathe in invisible
but always around us it does maintain life,
where the effects of it is visible
in words and acts and in all that we do strive
...
