I Do Wish To Be With You Tonight (English Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

It's cloudy and tonight there is no moon
while I am restricted by a lock-down,
and I think that it's going to rain soon
while a cloud of fog hangs over the town,

almost eerily dogs howl at a black sky
while I do wish to be with you tonight
and overhead I hear a jet passing by,
far off see a car's dim moving headlight

and I do pray for God to save us all,
yearn just to be for moments close to you,
while in this autumn some more leave do fall,
sincerely my feelings for you are true

and suddenly it has started to rain,
I wish not to say to you goodbye again.

[Poet's note:In the Southern Hemisphere of the earth the seasons are opposite to those in the Northern Hemisphere.]
