Ode To The Woman That I Do Love (Free Verse Sonnet)(1) Poem by Gert Strydom

(for Annelize)

More than severely I do relish you, my girl-woman,
with the words that I send I do want to hold on to you
where tonight right through the night I am dreaming about you,
where I do witness happiness and tears that do sometimes flow.
I want to plant a garden with love in your heart full of dreams,
of that which can be seen growing in the trees of our lives,
do want to find the sun in your eyes time after time,
do want to kneel before you with the faith and hope of a child,
do want to silence your lips with mine for long moments,
do want to take your soft hands in mine and touch their warmth on the inside,
with words of poems sing thousands songs of praises to you
and sincerely without any fear I do want to bring my love to you,
do want to tell you that you are really beautiful to me,
that I have been missing you for a lifetime.
