Sonnet of My Love

Sonnet of My Love

Your smile is written upon the calligraphy in my mind,

With eyes the color of an emerald rainbow,

Soft golden tresses of shoulder length hair,

Your lips caress mine like the delicate touch of an artist’s magic.

As whispered words paint images in my thoughts,

Leaving warm strokes of fire to tantalize my soul,

Where you dance through my passion like poetry across a blank page,

You become a work of art that blossoms beneath a painters brush.

Like the paradise of heaven, you come to life in each breath I take,

Where the fragrance of your very essence melts into my senses,

We come together like all the colors upon an artist’s palette,

You and I adorned by the brilliance of two hearts beating on one canvas.

Pouring out love like syllables of silk,

Invoking a sensuous serenade from a string quartet of violins,

Glowing in the sunrise and sunset of our symphony,

Tonight you become a sonnet of my love....

Your romantic imagery is strong & full of sensory delight. Any woman would love to have such a poem written in her honor. I hate to be the poetry police, but "sonnet" is a rather picky form & it's not a bit represented here, so I will assume you are speaking figuratively in your title. It took me years to get up the courage to try a sonnet & I still can't master that iambic pentameter (meter) crap. The best I can do is to craft 14 lines total = 3 quatrains (4-line stanzas) & 1 couplet (2-line stanza), with this rhyme pattern: abab cdcd ee . . . and having exactly 10 syllables per line. Let me know if you ever manage to spit out a proper sonnet, cuz I'd love to check it out (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie
