Night-Song (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

(in answer to Elisabeth Eybers)

I did drink in the darkness
against the beating of my stormy heart,
saw you enraptured and thought
about great joy and great sorrow,
your lips were soft, sweet and near
when you touched me warm and intimate,
like an angel you were in the valley of the moon
where you did make a moment eternal.
I found you as my own time and again,
peaceful outside was the whole street
with a wonderful enchantment all over your face,
we were far past real bliss and joy,
did know how sincere and deep true love is.
