Absolution (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

Absolution (Free Verse Sonnet)



(after Hannatjie Schreck)

I do not want to stare myself blind anymore
but do want to confess the real truth here
that I can never leave your order
as I am grounded through and through in you
and like something utterly holy I will protect and keep our love
as your rites are sacral, a holyness to me,
where who you are, are leaving lasting impression on me
as your embodiment makes me larger and healthy,
you burn in the darkness of my soul with the light
with something that goes past comprehension and resistance
my tongue, my body, my heart are converted by you
where in my banned existence you do bring me liberation
and this is no enchantment just how things are,
that I do want to pour out my whole life and body and soul into you.
