Gert Strydom Poems

As long as we are together
we can adore
as companion, partner and comrade
as friend and friend
...

When words are not enough
to say thank you with
for all the sacrifices
that speaks an own language,
...

The sun has burnt
the morning’s fog away
and now its
a bright hot sunny day.
...

On a cruel cross Lord, my sins became Thine
and were all the riches and power of nature mine,
nothing would befits You as a gift
and never could I repay a love so unblemished and divine.
...

(After Dylan Thomas)

Time held me
while I was still young and green
...

With you my life goes up and down
and there is never a silent kind of time,
while you are my very own
and like a rose in its prime
...

It was a dark day afternoon
with the sky brooding met die lug
and at s time when
it would be night soon
...

When the sun rises in the morning
away in the east it hangs red
and all the trees in this autumn
are already leafless
...
