Accord (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

(after Elisabeth Eybers)

Where with intense analysis you do look at every word
you do at times feel to me like a darling full of cunning
as if you do know better about syntax and the building of verses.
Sometimes you wonder how my poems do come effortless
then I realise that words do belong in your heart of hearts,
that you do cherish them with every image and meaning,
maybe are afraid that you will miss something holy and wondrous
but in friction comes to us t age-old accord,
as in everything you do find a mutual context
where you do hear the real meaning of my words,
do get in depth your own wonderful unique insight
and you do lead me by the hand to trust and cherishing
where in each other we do loose everything and ourselves
when our souls, spirits, minds and bodies do yield for each other.
