You Love Me Passionate And Also Silently (Villanelle) Poem by Gert Strydom

(for Annelize)

You are my angel of heartache, joy, sorrow and fun
the one with whom constantly I want to be,
you are the one with whom I have a place in the sun.

You are my miracle, my sign and of my heart the only one,
the only tranquil place in a tempest sea.
You are my angel of heartache, joy, sorrow and fun

with whom I want to be when all is said and done
and with you I am bonded and at liberty.
You are the one with whom I have a place in the sun,

who shelters me when life does me stun
and you love me passionate and also silently.
You are my angel of heartache, joy, sorrow and fun.

with you at a loss I still have won
and with you I want to share immortality.
You are the one with whom I have a place in the sun

and with you in my life I do desire none,
as there is something special between you and me.
You are my angel of heartache, joy, sorrow and fun,
you are the one with whom I have a place in the sun.
