How I long to see your face
Intoxicating loveliness
Which brings such exhilaration
Enrapturing my heart
Making the absent spring bloom
With rich resplendent colours
Treasured memories of a woodland dell
Safe from autumn's chilling embrace.
Oh, to see how my contented Muse
Does linger with sweet fancy
With grandeur of noble purpose
Composing this sonnet
Showing my dedication and desire
Cocooned forever in your love.
This is very fine indeed - you have attempted a difficult subject (by that I mean the much overworked theme of intimate relations) and managed to avoid the minefield of cliche and sentimentality that usually accompanies it with a robust but uncomprimising language that seems to come from the very heart. Well done! dsw
I assume anyone could fall in love just reading such sweet words...only the loved person's face could have such a wonderful effect on the one in love... Lilly
