Only In Your Lovely Company Poem by Gert Strydom

(after Danie Marais)

You are as straight as the N1 through the Karoo
and in your promises I can believe and trust,

with sunshine-glances you do smile at me
and I look past all of the dark places,

you are not only spirit
but truly flesh and blood,

your kisses and breath are fresh like the mountain wind
and our passion is like a fire that wants to devour,

when I am naked before you I am like a god
and as human you are infatuated by me,

when we chat my days are full
even if the world falls apart and things are a mad rush

and only in your lovely company
hours and days do go into the naught.
