Gert Strydom Poems

When the waves of the sea
became bigger and the wind
started to blow at storm strength,
the boat didn’t sail anymore
...

I

Love is something that we see
in a eternal light
...

Although nothing is without end,
even the rain hammering down with hail,
it sometimes felt that way
with lightning bolts falling
...

Maiden in armour
thy shield at thy side
and lightning bolts resting
in the place that they hide,
...

Girl with the long blonde hair,
you wiped a lost tear
out of your eye
when the jet
...

With every glance at the world around us,
on nature, on the humanity of other people
our existence is enriched,
...

Quite indolent somewhat like purple orchids;
a rich fragrance
comes as they do a nice fruity scent spill;
they draw a glance
...

By some seen as the kitten of wild cat family,
but it is no joke
when at a speed of
one hundred and ten kilometre per hour
...

Spring has an own beauty
where grasses and weeds appear with brush
and stem, growing in full lush
and the sky, the air has serenity
...

I

You burrow into my heart
are up against the embankment of my goodwill
...
