Gert Strydom Poems

Utterly busy people pass me in the street
with faces full of worry and some do glow
and there are tokens on everyone I do meet,
signs of hardship, of misery and woe
...

(for Annelize)

Tonight the bright yellow moon hangs solitary
in the grey twilight before the fall of night
...

(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,
...
