When The Night Sneaks Near Poem by Gert Strydom

When The Night Sneaks Near



When the night sneaks near
and suddenly comes almost unexpectedly
as if it's a visitor

then you come and knock on my heart,
then you become the nearest star
when you steal the light from the moon

and it's in your arms that I lay,
where I find my rest and peace
until the sunlight surprises us.
