In No Poems I Can Find Something Poem by Gert Strydom

In no poems I can find something
to describe that which is between us,
to bring the wondrous experience
on paper to words

and when I look at you I am half blinded
in contemplation as if in the darkness
and have to come to the confession:
my thoughts are devoured

as if I myself cannot get words
to catch the light in your eyes,
the loveliness coming deep from the soul,
to let hang that which is between us
in a few words
and about it I feel wordless and mute.
