Gert Strydom Poems

(in answer to Robin Camhee)

On a lovely Sunday morning you asked me to go with you
to do shopping at Carnival Mall in Brakpan,
...

When in the night sky I see Arcturus high above
I know that the Bushmen see a woman that cries over a baby,
where blindly she tries to find him to embrace him again
and patiently still does wait to find that child,
...

(in answer to Robin Camhee)

With my fiancée I stop at the Ultra City gas station
do pull in at a fuel pump with my new red BMW,
...

I am really blessed by her presence,
my truest love
brings the most intense feelings that nothing
can quench, remove,
...

When the morning comes
we walk into a new chapter of life,
every yesterday is undisguised
and every day has got its new beginning,
...

(in answer to Robin Camhee)

Desecrated he did defecate in his pants
when the pursuers caught him
...

Like a sketch of black upon white
a moment is put on paper in the dim evening light

but that you do really love me
...

(After Herman de Coninck)

In your dresses, your jeans and bathing-costume
you look young, ten years younger than you are,
...
