There Is A Place (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

(in answer to Marlene van Niekerk)

I have got a place where the sun burns bright
where you do hold me intimate against you as if no new tomorrow will come
and there we are in love and walk hand in hand,
while every new day do leave us speechless with its surprises.
There is a house that you are building deep in my heart,
where on the walls your own paintings do hang everywhere,
where a person can believe in love and keep trusting with great hope
where friendly conversations do settle all disputes,
where the moisture is gather in each marble jar
and I know you in naked truth and beauty
where you and I can never use our love up,
where together we do loose and win,
while the sun and moon peep at us as if they are in love
and life does take us away to our won little paradise.
