An angel's love ~ (softly sensual)

English [Shakespearean] Sonnet

           

   -~··~-~**~-··~··~··~··~··~··~··~··~··~··~··~··~··~··~··~-

            

           Across my fields of wonder … drifting by,

            like ribbons floating through a wispy dream,

            a nymphette whispered soft my name ~ a sigh;

            'twas there she stood inside a golden beam.

            Her verdant eyes shone like a polished gem,

            with sparkling glints that hypnotized my soul,

            and (somehow) I was drawn deep into them

            in such a way I knew I'd been made whole.

            

Faint sounds of crystal waters dancing by,

            on velvet mossy banks she lay me down.

            She taught me love there 'neath a blushing sky,

            then wrapped us warm inside her pure white gown.

            

She took my breath and breathed it back in me;

            that instant knew ~ she'd set my spirit free.

I agree with the writers slant on this piece. Softly sensual I'd say ~ Upon the banks of yonder Avon in Stratford a bard did lie. He thought of nothing else as pairs of swans go passing by: a lovely maiden he had wooed, appeared across the golden sky. . .and then that angel burst the bubble and drifted silently up above ~ i do now wonder why!

Ah to be on that river bank as fluffy clouds go drifting by and nonchalantly take in the ambiance of the place is an experience to be desired. Your presence on this page is greatly appreciated M'Lord!

Thanks for reading me!

[Robert Trakofler]

A sublime expression supremely crafted in an earnest voice. The old world tapping to a rhythm and flow of the foundations of write... to be voiced anew. Wrapped in her airy graces embraces was so well painted in the words you selected in your conduction kind of gives new meaning to the word flow don't it:) very fine lines Richard made the bunny blush a bit too!

[Richard🖌]

Hi, my keenly astute Friend! : )
Hah! That'll be the day, one of my wee little Sonnets will make You blush!

A fantasy piece, a conventional version of the classical Sonnet lends its perfect kind of beat, rhythm, flow, and rhyme-scheme to bring the reader's mind, feelings, senses, and emotion into the moment.

I am so pleased you selected this lovely bit of softly ethereal sensuality to read, enjoy, and comment on.
I thank you ever-so sincerely, Robert … many blessings! ⁓ Richard 🍃

[Lydia Shutter]

Elegantly sensual and filled with old fashioned romance. Such a lovely sonnet! Lydi**

[Richard🖌]

Ah, a treat you truly are, Lydi Dear.
It is so wonderful to find you here
upon this page of Sonnet bliss,
your words a soft, warm kiss
of inspiration to my task;
elation, I need not ask;
you've let me know,
you love it so. ; )

Thank you ever-so warmly, Dear Poetess 🥀 ⁓ Richard 🍃

[Lydia Shutter]

You are quite welcome.

[Susan 🦋]

Perhaps, true love always feels this way... A life sustaining breath and souls set free. Too beautiful for my words that can't do this sonnet justice, my heart smiles.

[Richard🖌]

Thank you, Susan,
For digging a bit deeper into my poetic pile to lift this one out for a breath of fresh air.
I would like to believe that true love is an eternally warm melding of two souls who've found and embraced so beautifully.
Oh, I dunno, Susan … to me, your words made this little Sonnet far more meaningful.

My hearts smiles softly back to yours! ⁓ Richard 🍃

[Susan 🦋]

I'm lost in another world... ( just may need to write today) :-)

[Richard🖌]

That would be wonderful, Lovely Poetess … anything in mind?
