Song Of Songs (Iv)(Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

Song Of Songs (Iv)(Free Verse Sonnet)



(for Annelize)

From high above the stars gleam and a golden full moon,
only the wind rustles lightly and full of rest is the night
in the distance the lights of Cape Town do glitter in their beauty
and the sea is tranquil where we stand on the beach,
and this moment does stretch out as if it is the central point in our existence
when like children almost in the innocence of happiness we do laugh
and it feels as if a person can do anything on a night like this
when waves do break, do wash out and other breakers do roll in.
Your firm breasts are half in the shadows and secret when you do walk into the sea,
the moon draws a line up to the horizon, water stream from your back, hips and thighs
when a wave unexpectedly breaks over you, your skin and body do gleam
when you walk back and suddenly the moment is intimate,
you shine with shadows that do enlarge and shrink seem naked and uncovered,
like a goddess and nothing is hidden in this moonlight.
