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

There is a silent tranquillity to the night
where the age-old waves do lap and break,
the evening wind does gently touch your hair,
where one candle burns romantically,
your eyes are big as if they can swallow me
and the glance is intimate of a woman for her husband,
our words become silent, as words are unnecessary
and the moment lingers and stretches out between us
when your lips are soft, hot and sweet under mine
where the moon does draw a line up to the horizon
outside over the streched out dark ocean
where it hangs with a soft yellow colour,
shadows do jump around on the walls
but of all of this we are unaware.
