Recklessly The Seeds Of The Pod-Tree Explode Poem by Gert Strydom

on branches outside
and one after the other
they go off like crackers
when the pods burst open with force.

It’s as if I see the sun glows
in your golden eyes
and time lingers, almost forever
when I feel your heart beating against me
and blindly we both reach to each other
with a new autumn
starting deep in this winter
and feelings and passion move past time and sensibility
and you and I into each other.
