Something So Special As This Is Rare (Sicilian Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

From the first moment you did me beguile,
it was as if you brought happiness in despair,
still your perfume hangs in mind's air.
Just give me a kiss and a sweet smile,

it do linger for more than just a while
as something so special as this is rare
where for me you do sincerely care
and to you I will run mile after mile.

I gave you my heart from the very start
as if always together we were meant to be
but sometimes we from each other do part
although our feelings do run to eternity
and you are present in my thoughts and art
as if constantly you are present here with me.
