I Had Dreamt Of You Poem by Gert Strydom

I had dreamt of you
living in a world
where skies are always blue
and you loved me
with a kind of sincerity

and we had much joy
as just a girl and a boy,
had a kind of innocence
while our thoughts
whirled up like incense.

Your smile radiated like the sun
while you loved me like your only one
and our companionship was sweet
while butterflies fluttered at our feet.

You kissed me with sheer bliss
and there was magic in this

but I had to go then
back to the world of men
as promises I had to keep
and I was devoid of further sleep.
