Gert Strydom Poems

Where you have totally broken
my faith in you and in what true love is,
it's as if in a way you are taking revenge.
I do not know what the future holds
...

I dreamt of fair Paris during the spring,
of a night we walked in the moon's rays,
of love the gentle breeze was whispering,
the great river Seine flowed down its quays,
...

I wait with hope and fear for the hour,
in the distance chimes the bell
its own discord from a church-tower
...

In my thoughts your lovely face remains.
I am away as you have limited me
and still my love for you remains strong.
On my many questions I get no kind of insight
...

(in answer to Alexander Sergeyevich Pus)

Your face, eyes and breath I remember,
I close my eyes and you are right there,
...

(in answer to Alexander Sergeyevich Pus)

Your face, eyes and breath I remember,
I close my eyes and you are right there,
...

My Lord, if I am in company or alone with pain
I daily ask for Your blessings to come again,
with beautiful things You do fill my life
and on Your time You send the pouring rain.

(after Alexander Sergeyevich Pus)

I do you love, at night over you cry,
I am in rage for caring for you much,
