Breaking-Point (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

Sometimes next to you I lie on my back
while I rest during the dark hours of the night.
Sometimes it's in you that I loose everything and myself
when we desire each other in eternal moments
and sometimes when you look so pervading at me
it is as if everything in the here and now comes to breaking-point,
when I know how the depth of your humanity looks,
while I stand as a man before you without any disguise.
When you do draw me deep into your embrace
I feel your lips burning hot upon mine,
how your soft arms do surround me
and then you lead me to a better and other place
where the scope of a moment becomes eternal,
like this you and I do know each other in the secret of love.
