My Love (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

(After Piet van Rooyen, for Daleen on her birthday)

My Love, my barefooted girl
you do bewitch me and you do make me blind,
you cause my heart to sing about love
while everywhere in my life I constantly find you.
Darling, you are the one who brings love
and you do change the day on the spur of the moment,
it's to me that you do reveal your secrets
and like a hopping child you want to skip and jump.
My most beloved, for you life is at times a joke
and when I do nor realise your puzzles,
you are the one that say things straight as they are to me,
you are the one that do walk into my life,
you do turn my whole world around and around,
when with your love you do come to me.
