Passion's Bedlams

Passion’s Bedlams        by Sami Khalil

An English Sonnet   

           

Aflame, your love torches passion’s bedlams

Tangling up minds that deftly lie awake

Fires and spells, no adept heart jetsams

As though at first glances flailing outbreak.

 

Let me linger in those witchery eyes

Gift me a smile blooming like wildflowers

Tis a shapely model, spellbinding size

Casted divinely by Most High powers.

 

Summon the dreams disentangling the dark

Without mawkish refrain and fledgling brood

For hearts replete with love look stark

Upon roseate dawns, laughter imbued.

 

Aflame, your love torches shadow’s bedlams

Sending shivers like shooting stars’ mayhems.

“Let me linger in those witchery eyes”. I just love that line. This is a powerful read. It definitely inspires me. You have a unique writing style. This has a strong ending. I feel parts of me are being activated by this piece. I would definitely read this again. There is something about it that makes me want to reflect on myself.

[Sami Khalil]

OMG! So good to hear that. I'm glad to inspire you. Poetry is marvelous, isn't it? It can affect on our beings.
Thank you so much for all.

Poetry is a specialism. It’s not everyone’s taste. But it’s certainly mine..

Such beautiful language - a modern Shakespeare! The rhythm and rhymes are sublime, and it is clear that every word is felt very deeply. Excellent work!

[Sami Khalil]

Hi Miss Shannon O'Gara. Beautiful name. Thank you so much for taking the time to visit and share your thoughts. Hope all is well.

Man, you have become quite the sonneteer. Everything is classically accomplished...rhythm, cadence, rhyme...I'm truly impressed with your rhyming ability... I mean, it's a great write..and anyone can rhyme two words together, but you have a natural sense for using two words that are not only unrelated in spelling but in context as well... brood/imbued, outbreak/awake, size/eyes, bedlams/jetsams/mayhems ... Shakespeare would be proud of your command of the English language. Well done Sami

[Sami Khalil]

Wow! An honour indeed coming from you dear poet and friend. That you for your recognition. I'm blessed to know great artists like yourself who can sense and reflect and see things above and beyond. Be blessed. Will visit soon.

[Allen Smuckler]

what's true is true ... And the truth is, you are a fantastic poet...pure and simple.

[Sami Khalil]

Wow! You too. God bless you.

'' Let me linger in those witchery eyes - Gift me a smile blooming like wildflowers .. '

And that, Sami - that emotion creates poetry from deep in the heart. From start to finish you have followed academic rules yet, wound true feelings round and round each line in your sonnet. Tis beautiful, sir.

[Sami Khalil]

Whoeeee! This you are a generous and beautiful soul, let alone a masterful artist. Glad you like it. Thank you kindly, mam!

[Travis Gibson (poetic h..]

Whew... your command of language is on full display here! "Let me linger in those witchey eyes," was an intense line with perfect placement. Great write!

[Sami Khalil]

When I left here 4 months ago, your listing was all stories. Now it appears to be all poems. And SONNETS! I can't believe you've gotten into sonnets to such a degree. What I hate about sonnets are those stiff uppity Elizabethan-sounding affairs that rehash the same romantic language over & over. BORING! That's where I learned to hate sonnets. But your sonnet is nothing like that. No way! Your language is dynamic & natural-sounding, but also with that unique Sami flair for artistry! (((HUGS)))

[Sami Khalil]

Wow! Coming from you is an honor indeed. You put a big smile on faces and warmth in hearts. All glad you are back. Site was almost dead. Now ALIVE!

dearest Sami... I am drawn to Sonnets...
across the sky where flowers fly... I will not ask Why...
I float in your dreams of Butterflies and see the Beauty in your Eyes...
tenderly, Pat

“ Summon the dreams disentangling the dark
Without mawkish refrain and fledgling brood
For hearts replete with love look stark
Upon roseate dawns, laughter imbued.”
Uncanny magic in just a few lines, the entire poem is just so ethereal and beautifully written. Everything about each phrase hits with a thick sense of nostalgia. Absolutely wonderful!

[Sami Khalil]

Whoa! Thank you so much dear poet for this highly appreciated review. Hope all is well in your world. See you soon.
