When You Sleep (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

When You Sleep (Free Verse Sonnet)

Rating: 5.0


(for Annelize)

When I come to the bedroom and find you
there is a soft impression on your face,
where you do sleep innocent like a child,
where I hear you mumble and speak in your sleep,
where your dark hair lie spread out over the pillow,
when the starry-light and moonbeams fall over your face,
and at all cost I do want to avoid waking you
as that moment were holy as I do remember it
as years and decades now do lie in between
but in my heart you do still remain near
where again I want to start a life with you,
do not know what to do to get things like that again
as it's as if still you do fit into my heart and soul
where for years I am still holding on to you.
