As The Woman That I Do Deeply Know (Sicilian Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

Like an angel's bright glimmering light
in thoughts you appear to me with a glow,
as the woman that I do deeply know,
fair and sweet you come into my sight:

as my support during the day and night,
the one that did a new life on me bestow,
as my shadow, a person that angers slow,
who knows wrong from what is right,

a mortal spirit to my glance serene,
a figure in proportion as you advance
an example of the biological machine,
and I see you with a different glance:
you are a harpy: somewhat cruel and mean,
yet again with you I will take a chance.
