Gert Strydom Poems

(for Annelize)

I wish I had said how lovely you are to me
and I am saying this with sincere affection
...

(for Annelize)

In your white satin dress I do you see,
lovelier than an angel you came to me,
...

(for Annelize)

Maybe life goes like this
that somebody brings the world to a halt
...

(for Annelize)

Maybe the biggest sacrifice
that a human can give
...

(for Annelize)

Maybe the biggest sacrifice
that a human can give
...

(for Annelize)

Maybe the biggest sacrifice
that a human can give
...

(for Annelize)

Maybe we both will be lost
in the back streets of Paris,
...

(for Annelize)

Maybe far too long I have waited
for the time to come to meet you again,
...

(for Annelize)

At night when the darkness folds around me
I do miss you and only beautiful memories do remain
...

Tired of crawling along in congested traffic in my car
on any one of the two the Pretoria-Johannesburg freeways
or having to take the old road
today I experiment by taking the Gautrain
...
