You Are Woman Poem by Gert Strydom

(in answer to Oskar Prozesky)

You are the thunder that comes down blue-white in the high-veldt,
when stuffy and pressing the air longs for rain
and you are the rainbow that hangs heaven-high,
when your smile and your humanity leave me speechless.
In you the taste of peach and tangerine is un-disguised,
you are the constant yearning of my heart, spirit, soul and flesh
and you make me very happy and make me scared
as in a mere moment you turn my life and my world around.
