Where A Person As You Are Very Rare (Villanelle) Poem by Gert Strydom

(for Annelize)

At heart I do know you very well,
do recall the colour of your fine hair
and it's as if I am under your spell:

in a place with a bit of heaven and hell
and daily you are in every prayer.
At heart I do know you very well,

do you of the nature of my love tell,
while with a virus the world is in despair
and it's as if I am under your spell,

did deeper and deeper into it fell,
where a person as you are very rare.
At heart I do know you very well:

you are like precious flower in the dell.
Away from you nothing can me tear
and it's as if I am under your spell,

do know your words before in alarm you do yell
and do to the limits of my heart for you care.
At heart I do know you very well
and it's as if I am under your spell.
