Et Praeterea Nihil Poem by Gert Strydom

All that I am asking you
is where,
I fit into your heart?

The world outside is washed clean
and lightings resound
while the rain falls roaring.

Your are looking in your wardrobe
and are searching for something beautiful,
while you fit some clothes.

Outside it’s dark
while the cloak of the night
is folding over everything.

and you show
one dress after the other to me
and ask how
you look in them?

I want to look deeper
than just this
and wonder what thoughts
are dancing in your deepest soul?

l’Envoi
Tell me about your love
and show how much you love me
and when we embrace
I’ll build my own small world
with only you and me in it
and further nothing.

[Reference: Et praeterea nihil= And further nothing.]
