No Angel Does The Sweet Passion Know Poem by Gert Strydom

(for my wife Daleen for Valentine's Day)

No angel does the sweet passion know
that in my heart does brightly glow
and in the courts of divine heaven above
no bittersweet tears do ever flow

when at times relationships deal out blow after blow
and no harpy or angelic being does ever know
the intimacy with which I do you betroth
and in the sexual act how time moves so very slow

or the pleasure or the beauty that comes with it
as together we do perfectly fit
when we do become one
and at that moment all other things are gone

as intensely together we do both move
when we do make passionate love.
