It Was Whole Year Summer (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

(for Annelize)

In 1985 it was whole year summer
when you came into my life
and as a romantic and a dreamer
I was in love with you and with you astounded
where I was studying business administration
and the Cape days did sunny stretch into the night
when I learned from you the happiness and pain of true love,
wanted to cover you from head to toes with kisses
where weekends at your home in Brackenfell
(my words are here curtailed)
did tell me about another world
and in my heart I did love your mother and father
as you and your people were far past precious to me
which makes those days to remain special to forever.
