You Had Awaken A Eternal Love In Me (English Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

You had awaken a eternal love in me
as you had shouted my name at the gate
while you waved extremely merrily
and the night was dark and it was late

with the songs of birds, the song of the wind,
the songs of insects as the moon shone bright
and your image, starlit eyes is in my mind,
with fire of stars and moonlight in that night

and we walked and talked until tears
filled your eyes with a great happiness,
while the night, the wind and the years
cried out against the time of loneliness

with our joy as happy as a bubbling stream,
while the bliss of a kiss was like a dream.
