Your Inner Thoughts Do In Your Lovely Eyes Gleam Poem by Gert Strydom

This morning the sky is serenely turquoise
while you act with liberty and independence,
smile at me lovely full of self-confidence
and along with you my heart do rejoice.

From last night's illness huskily is your voice
but health and hope and love today is in evidence
as the fragrance of gardenia fills the whole residence
in front of the mirror you are in a lovely poise

as outside in a fountain flows a man-made stream
while you do tease and curl your tresses with ease
your inner thoughts do in your lovely eyes gleam
while doves sing their love-songs in the trees
and it's as if we both are in an unending dream
somewhere far away at one of the seven seas.
