My Life (2) Poem by Gert Strydom

My Life (2)



(for Annelize)

Through the years alone I did walk a long road
with love, mercy and God's favour and hope for the two of us,

did wonder about how love is a bitter and a sweet thing
with both happiness and heartache in a own meaning

that sometimes let you feel like a painted clown,
or an acrobat at the edge of death in a lurching chair

and like Eugene Marais I wanted to think that life is just a joke
of which humans do not really conceive the meaning

but you do always remain in my thoughts like a shining goddess,
and I cannot stop myself of thinking about you,

I cannot stop my self from confessing my love for you,
as it does remain the biggest, deepest thing between you and me.
