Gert Strydom Poems

If a mere moment between you and me linger
when the power of love come to be,
if you are mine like I have waited for decades,
I will see you laugh and cry from happiness,
...

Prime Minister Boris Johnson remarked:
'people are shocked at what Putin is capable of doing, '
at the G7 support for the Ukraine it sparked
while remaining a free country it is pursuing.
...

The world we live in has nowadays got great danger
and with it many people have got terrible fear,
while you and I accept divorce as reality
...

That you are from heaven I know,
much more than an angel you are to me
where you are making paradise here below,
...

Nivalny, leader of the Russian opposition
who had been poisoned by Putin,
who had exposed him in admonition,
in Russia has been jailed for this sin,
...

Cape Town, city of my great joy and pain,
for many decades from you I have been away
but I want to return back to your beauty,
learn more about another kind of life,
...

You are the bread and wine,
constantly You are here in my company
and sometimes I find poor broken people on the street.
I cannot just leave them to mere mercy.
...

The soft breeze brings the fragrance of flowers,
the broken jasmine looks speckled with dew,
the fragrance linger in the air for hours
near to the door the fragile petals strew
...

Fifty three of Ukraine's loyal soldiers died
by a attack on a Russian torture-camp,
that the Ukraine is responsible Russia lied,
...

It's bright when the sun rises,
when the day breaks,
when with love you do astonish me,
when you do beg for mere moments
...
