Our Love Is Something Divine (Refrain Stanza Sequence) Poem by Gert Strydom

(in answer to Percy Bysshe Shelley)

I
Our love is something divine
and sincerity and hope is mine
where I do not fear a single kiss
or the great unfathomable bliss
as our love is something that cannot decline
where with joy and faith my spirit is laden
where to me you are the gentlest maiden
with every gesture and expression a sure sign
and sincerity and hope is mine

II
and I do not fear your love or your devotion
or any kind of sincere heartfelt emotion
even if passion does burn with its own hot fire
even if every touch is full of great desire
when words and acts are set in motion
and nothing and no one can our feelings remove
as our love is a great blessing from God above
and it's an ultimate fact and not a notion
or any kind of sincere heartfelt emotion.
