You Are (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

(for Annelize)

You are the only true one,
against our love I have no resistance,
you are the lightning in my rain,
the thunder in my thunderstorm,
that does burn into my the back of my eye,
the tranquillity when the storms rage around me
and you are in my heart and in my mind,
in my soul, my spirit and my blood
you are the woman that comes into my dreams,
my mountain and my fortress when I get hurt,
you are my rose, my daisy and my flower
and you are gorgeous far past pretty
but through the decades I do miss you
where you do remain in my most beautiful memories.
