Still I Do Love You (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

(for Annelize)

There are so many things that I do want to tell you,
to me you are beautiful and have a very pretty face,
our love remains simple, fiery and fierce
and where I had to leave you at a time
all my pain and sorrow will now remain unspoken
but you are still very deep in my heart,
where time after time I do confess my feelings to you
and sometimes I do know the pain of loneliness,
in you I do find a fiery passionate woman
and still I do love you without any kind of fear,
although it's with the faith and hope of a child:
I know how vulnerable our love could be
where that which is between us does last into eternity,
as a rare unstoppable pure fire.
