Of All The World's Most Lovely Daughters (English Sonnet)2 Poem by Gert Strydom

(after Lord George Gordon Byron)

Of all the world's most lovely daughters
none exactly as wondrous as you I do see,
while you voice has the murmur of waters
and you are vividly enchanting to me,

where your glance in my mind is causing
tranquillity as a sea lying silently gleaming,
and thought-struck at your sight I am pausing
where in your sight I am about you dreaming,

where over the main a chain the moon is weaving,
while your eyes goes into my soul into the deep,
as your breasts like gentle waves are slowly heaving,
while a single nipple does against the material peep

while in my heart, spirit and soul come emotion
where our relationship is unpredictable like the ocean.
