Gert Strydom Poems

To believe that God does really exist and is almighty;
has created the universe, each star, planet
and this old earth
...

The fluttering kiss of your lips
can do strange things to me,
your breasts that resist softly,
your eyes in which at times stars are leaping
...

Sometimes in life there is a moment,
a single hour
that is sanctified and holy, where time stops,
that lasts eternally
...

In the striving to reach light
in a world of darkness
at times I feel completely lost,
damnation
...

Let God from you keep all kinds of evil
let Him banish all kinds of constant fear,
all wicked men, fiends, the very devil;
while His mighty angels always draw near,
...

On a hot summer afternoon
when buzzing bee after buzzing bee
pedantically visits flower cup
after flower cup
...

Quite romantic an ancient ship passes
during twilight
with the setting sun ropes, cords, sails thrum;
the coming night
...

The shadows of many years do fall
and without fear
the old man goes stumbling on his way,
at times somewhat angry
...
