Precursor (Couplets) Poem by Gert Strydom

(in answer to Lina Spies)

Love is much more that to kiss with spit
more than a glance doing wonderful things is in it,

your company and your smile
I do cherish for longer than just a while

I cannot forget the intensity
that semen and sweat through the years brought to me

where you made moments eternal and lasting
when I touched your soft skin

but more than this there is something honest and true
when for a moment I think of you

your smile and your glance
do for years my life enhance

and in the lovely memories you do remain
in all the days of joy, sorrow, bliss and pain

and as if a precursor of the future days
you do bring joy and happiness in so many ways.
