Where I Note Words Down Poem by Gert Strydom

Like a butterfly you flutter down on the bed with me,
outside a stormy wind blows and recklessly the moon shines
and every jacaranda tree in Pretoria is flowering for you
where in mere silence you do overwhelm me.
I was surprised when this dark night
came to lie together with us in bed,
when your love turned my life around,
where time and again you told me of your love.
Where I note words down
that I want to leave eternally
it's if my world comes to a halt
when I realise that I cannot exist without you.
You are in my core and in my greatest longing,
you make me happy and you make me scared.
