Lunchtime Visit (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

This afternoon when your car drove in through the gate
I knew the joy that you do bring,
it's as if my life do suddenly get meaning,
as if every bird do sing joyfully in the winter.
This afternoon when time passes too quickly
I do find pleasure by your mere presence,
I want to tell you how I do constantly miss you,
I have got the biggest urge and am forthright
to take you for long moments into my arms,
I see the stars that gleam in your green-brown eyes
and we know that this love do just continually grow,
while the sun slowly climbs to the highest point in the sky.
When you have to leave we have still so much to say
and it's with the heartache of longing that you have to go.
