Gert Strydom Poems

Will it last this romantic fantasy of shadow and light?
The crimson-red rising moon hangs low where we do walk
through this lovers-lane that it is making tonight.
You are right against me while of lasting love we talk.
...

My golden eye darling of the high-veldt
I see the sand crumbling between your fingers
where you are planting geraniums and day lilies.
...

My darling is happy to be with me
while she waits for a cup of tea
and in moments of silence we do enjoy
our togetherness as if it is made to be
...

I see the moon in a puddle of water
where it reflects silver-white,
it hangs above the branches of the pepper tree
while a bright white star does jump
...

The love that I in my heart do find
is the conjunction of the body, soul and mind
where two people with honesty meet
and something beautiful far beyond grace do them bind
...

How do I love you,
more than I know how to do
and how do I give love more unconditional
than I do receive from you?
...

I stand upon a rocky shore
tightly holding your hand
and everything is different from before.
I stand upon a rocky shore
...

Where I stand full of wonder where the sun rises over the hill
with bright light the valley, the plain does fill
while I see the rushing waves rolling in and out of the sea
and there is a kind of joy in me
...

Please do remember me when I cannot stay,
when by destiny everything dear is swept away,
when things do not go as we have planned
and then do please still believe and understand
...

I dream that I do dream
about a bright and sunny day
where waves rush in and out in the bay
that perfect everything does seem
...
