Where This Moments Stretch Far Over The Borders Between Us (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

(in answer to Gilbert Gibson)

When silence is like a coat, cosily neatly do hang over your shoulders,
the moment between us linger when eyes do talk their own language
and we are both tired of the big leaving,
then I am caught in the wordless moment,
while you press me tightly against you in our great longing,
where only the language of expression does leave answers
and like a angel with a holy glare you face radiates
where this emotion and love come unforced,
where this moments stretch far over the borders between us,
the nearness the embrace do tell their own things to us,
while we cherish each other past the borders of a moment,
while we draw each other closer in that moment,
when love wants its greatest confirmation between us
and like this you do constantly come into my days and my life.
