In Love God Did Give You To Me (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

In love God did give you to me,
all at once left impression of you with me
as a small klipspringer in the bush of my heart,
where I watch you with every step and shake of your head,
when tranquillity exists like the serene cobalt blue,
as if like the sky it comes from the hand of God,
while in innocence and love you stand pure before me,
when your faith and trust do leave me speechless time upon time,
where that which love really is do get meaning
and in this world is something strange and holy,
where I cannot avoid my feelings for you,
as between us there is the most wonderful bond,
when like Eve through Eden you wander through my heart
and I together with am lost in the garden.
