Last (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

(for Annelize)

"I do not want to loose you, my love, "
comes from the hurting memory
how a last time I did look at you
and I begged please
but you did disappear out of my life,
as if destiny does swallow a person just like that,
darkness brings raw moments of pain
and I cannot express it properly in words
and now I do want to embrace you tightly,
do not want you to go out of my eyesight
as our love is something that still does exist,
something that brings feelings to you and me
where my poems brought you back
and constantly I do pray you into my days.
