Feverishly anxious the ticking of the clock siezes
Awkward faces glance patiently for her arrival
Dance the path of changes
Whisper in the air
Coming to a complete destination
Eyes tearing; Smiles widen
Innocence of crimson stings
Mesmerize the heartache wound
Condeming her true nature song
Uncertain the life of her choosen path
Redemption the inner struggle
Finally at a stage in life
Peace of mind
As seeking her lovers feature
In ripple effect
Coming to be one with herself
But also one with her lover
As the ticking of the clock run
Etenity of life
Never ending that spiritual movement
Gert Strydom, 6 august 2013
Forthright I want to love you
and I want to hold you dearer,
tell my deepest things to you
and where feelings begin
without words expose my heart
and never fabricate anything
but still make promises
and pray you deeper into my life.
Wynand Johannes Louw, 6 august 2013
Oh look how far the might have fallen,
look how far my idols descend.
Crumbled down from my pedestals again,
all my heroes and models and “friends”.
Oh look how far I have fallen again,
buried once more in the dust –
the wake of my hands’ “glorious” work,
drowning in choking despair.
How am I still acceptable to Thee?
Why do You not turn and run?
This mercy I still do not understand,
This mercy I long for again…
Gert Strydom, 5 august 2013
I who with my own strong defences
did fall in love with you,
was far too vulnerable in the dark night
when you were with me
and every morning, every new day
suddenly did happen
while we were experiencing something much deeper
and love was joining us both to each other.

The more intimate and better I do know you,
the more I am amazed
by your fragile humanity, by a beauty
that fits perfectly
into the part that my life needs
and like light on glass
you are tuned in on me;
even when life hurts or brings joy.
Gert Strydom, 5 august 2013
Your eyes that sparkle gold like the sun
have got stories,
secrets of how your feelings are,
tells constantly
that you do really love
and some metals
have got the same golden brown glitter
as that which continually dances in your eyes.
Gert Strydom, 5 august 2013
The more intimate and better I do know you,
the more I am amazed
by your fragile humanity, by a beauty
that fits perfectly
into the part that my life needs
and like light on glass
you are tuned in on me;
even when life hurts or brings joy.

All God’s Truth is black and white, with not a way to turn left or right,
No room at all for any liberal sway, as it’s a straight and narrow way,
A way which is an affront to most, as liberal ways they’d rather host,
Embracing this world’s amoral ways, while we slide into darker days.
Today, God’s Truth many compromise, misled by the Father of Lies,
Never thinking about the true cost, as many today are spiritually lost,
Knowing not God’s Word is forever, a fact which they think of never,
However, they will pay the penalty, not for a time, but for all Eternity.
Especially all those who proclaim, from a pulpit, His Glorious Name,
Who proclaim the Word of God, changing Truth with a deceitful nod,
Altering Eternal Truth, others hear, with little reluctance or Godly fear,
For God’s Truth many compromise, for their hearers, be it so unwise.
Men doing nothing, to stem the tide, of this ever present moral slide,
Sliding away from God’s Righteousness, into a darker amoral abyss,
Even preaching with a knowledge of, The unchanging Creator above,
Continuing to move farther from, The Lord and His coming Kingdom.
When moving from a righteous path, to one that invokes God’s wrath,
This, as they leave His Narrow Way, following instead the liberal sway,
Straying from Truths, black and white, into a gray, that’s dark as night,
A deplorable altering of God’s Truth, leading to God’s eternal reproof.

God has led me all these years, through all trials, joys and tears,
Through times I did not understand, led by His omnipotent hand,
Through each year and every trial, God was there, with no denial,
Giving me an undeniable peace, that to this day does not cease.
Even being as a faithless fool, God to me would remain faithful,
For God couldn’t deny himself, while my belief, I lived in stealth,
Even when I had strayed from Him, falling back into ways of sin,
God was faithfully at my side, while leading back to again abide.
Even before I ever knew Christ, He had taken the lead, in my life,
As God had led me to the place, where I received Christ by faith,
A faith which continually grows, as His ways to me Christ shows,
Through trials and joys of life, as I am led by The Spirit of Christ.
So now as I move on to the future, in Christ’s ways I can be sure,
For as I reflect on all my past, God’s Faithfulness has been cast,
Both on my heart and in my mind, as In Jesus Christ alone I find,
A faithfulness, in which I must, place in God, an unwavering trust.
I’ll continue to trust in God’s lead, as He takes care of each need,
Lighting the path, He has me take, as my life, God won’t forsake,
For in The Lord, I understand, I can trust God’s Omnipotent hand,
Going through anything in my life, this as I’m led by Jesus Christ.

Living faithfully and expectantly, must be life for you and me,
In Christ alone we have reason, this regardless of the season,
To long for the return of Christ, no matter where we are in life,
While we live, all that we learn, with our hope in Christ’s return.
With Judgment coming friend, we must be ready for The End,
Coming as a thief in the night, we all must live in Christ’s light,
We know not the coming hour, when Christ will come in power,
To the world of wickedness, who know not His Righteousness.
Peace and safety, men will cry, all who know not God on high,
Men, caught in Satan’s seduction, will see sudden destruction,
Surprised will be every nation, that scoffs of God’s Revelation,
They’ll experience the wrath of, Judgment from our Lord above.
We in Christ, are not ignorant, of God’s coming end time event,
For we are not sons of the night, but we’re the sons of the light,
Sober and watchful we’re to be, while living for Him expectantly,
Controlled by the Spirit of Christ, we’re to live for Him all our life.
Unlike men, who live in darkness, we must live in Righteousness,
Saved by Christ’s loving Grace, we need to live in love and faith,
With the hope in our Salvation, we’re God’s Light to every nation,
As we faithfully live this life, expecting soon, the return of Christ.
