To Lay Next To You Poem by Gert Strydom

To lay next to you
and to know that you do truly love me
when the lights of the stars appear in the dark night
have got great meaning when you do not say anything
and lay silent fingers upon my mouth
while I feel you heart beat,
are inside
and can have no consideration over you
when your eyes gleam like fires,
while we struggle gasping,
are caught in each other
and try to reach over the most distant horizon
while emotions gambol
and are caught in moments of pleasure.
