I Do Want To Have (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

(for Annelize)

I do want to have long conversations with you,
to tell you how meaningless my life is
that days, months, years and decades do turn around and around
but still in my heart love and a dim kind of hope does remain
that in your depths you are feeling the same
and suddenly I do run out of words
when your are right here in my thoughts with me
and I do not want to waste any more time
just say that I do truly love you,
I do pray you day after day into my life
and where we are so far apart for each other
I do constantly pray for a new beginning
that God will make the ways even
and do touch your heart and soul.
