Winter Prophecy (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

(for Annelize)

In a night where thunder-flashes do come down
you are astonished with this kind of weather in the Cape,
walk with a big smile into my arms,
while I see frangipani's flowering outside,
I find your lips fondling soft under mine
and outside the lightning draws some more blue-white lines
but it's enchanting and wonderful to be with you,
to know you in all my happiness, prosperity and pain
and we are both blinded for moments
but for years I do continually find you
and here you are now into my life,
my green-eyed woman, my heart's girlfriend,
to me you are the only important woman
and here you are right against me.
