</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br>IV</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br>While your love still reaches out to me, <br>I wonder how I can affect<br>that which was high and holy<br>here with words written in pain, <br>how I can force destiny to a standstill<br>and put something that was honourable and pure<br>on only a piece of paper, <br>when I rather want to throw my pen down? <br>Let me rather remember your bright eyes, <br>your hot lips that could tell me about your world, <br>that opened softly under mine, <br>how your body softly tilted <br>with the lights of the city in the distance, <br>when the leaves whirl in and out.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br>V</div><div style="margin:10px 0">When the leaves whirl in and out<br>in the depths of your soul, <br>blow as against the windows, <br>wrecking the last days to dust, <br>when the first signs of winter come<br>and I am stripped from old dreams and every expectation<br>with signs of my disrepair all around, <br>when nothing remains of my passion and yearning<br>it is as if the last summer already fades, <br>as if I am destined to death, <br>as if never again something great will come, <br>as if I stand alone against life and the whole world<br>and still when love remains<br>the surprise is pass time, place and meaning.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br>VI</div><div style="margin:10px 0">The surprise is pass time, place and meaning<br>with the shining glance in the eyes<br>or did you only pretend at times? <br>My darling, now a rainbow of tears<br>hang over your cheeks<br>as if the falling rain forces you to struggle<br>with the problems of the world, <br>as if the lightning bolts of life fall around us<br>and your eyes have caught somebody else, <br>in the mystery of your heart, <br>it is somebody else to whom you long<br>and the sky is covered with darkness, <br>its cold and the atmosphere somewhat chilly, <br>in the evenings it's so very silent.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">VII</div><div style="margin:10px 0">In the evenings it's so very silent<br>that I can hear my own breathing<br>as if in the night I loose time and meaning, <br>as if I do not want to go any further, <br>as if I do not want to waste time<br>on our past love, <br>and think over and over again<br>while you frolic somewhere else.<br>Days have a own way<br>with events occurring unplanned<br>and I wonder from where I get my poems<br>as the world lies open before me<br>and I do not want to let anything else vex my poetry, <br>even if my life without you comes to a halt.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Gert+Strydom">Gert Strydom</a><div class=q> <img src="https://www.citatepedia.ro/g/32share.png" style="float:left" alt="Share"> <script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=citatepedia" async="async"></script><div style="display:inline-block" class="addthis_sharing_toolbox" data-url="http://en.citatepedia.ro/comments.php?id=397926" data-title="Even if my life without you comes to a halt de Gert Strydom" data-description="(for M) I Even if my life without you comes to a halt, even if I see your face in those of other women I continue with the steps of each day, while I have got to give you up.
