Since You Came Into My Life (English Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

Since the time that you came into my life,
the world has got a tranquil lightness
where before it was with destiny rife
and in everything there is brightness.

Since your smile and eyes fold around me
all the joy in the world has become mine,
love holds me with a kind of sweet clarity
while you eyes do with tranquillity shine,

while there is magic afoot all around
whenever to me you do draw near
it is as if a new understanding I have found
that in love to me you are sweet and dear

where you do spread joy wherever you go
and of your goodness I do vividly know.
