Like a goddess you appear <br />with strings of falling auburn hair, <br />the sun sparkling in your golden eyes, <br />a joyful smile upon your lips, <br />dressed in a pure white robe <br />folding slender around every limb <br />and smelling clean and pure. <br /> <br />Let the African sky, sea and sand <br />encompass us till dusk glows red <br />burning in the west <br />and in the bright yellow moon, <br />by light of Sirius let us find the way <br />through velvet nights <br />to secret places of love and rest.<br /><br />Gert Strydom<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/like-a-goddess-you-appear/
