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.

I love the poem Sami.

Gift me a smile blooming like wildflowers
Tis a shapely model, spellbinding size
Casted divinely by Most High powers."

the mind, the heart the sex ... oh how we do tangle and allow bedlam to consume ... best stay the eye from the first inkling than put the spark to tinder ...i am no expert, Sami; but i am going to guess these kinds of bedlams most times will not end well ... but we dive into them willingly and will do so over and over says i ... perchance the real thing will be found ... breaking all those soul ties dragging our intent ..
"Gift me a smile blooming like wildflowers" love that line .. amidst the bedlams, mayhems, shadows and jetsams ... the paradox lifts me heart ... i don't think you have stuck strictly to iambs ..i.e. TORCH es PA sions but for me it makes for an intricate rhythm and kind of matches the wildness that passions can ignite ... sure enjoyed reading Sami .. makes me wistful of days gone by ;))))))))))))))))))))))))

What an excellent sonnet. You have done a grand job here Sami. I felt the heat here. Passion at its wildest and maddest. Love your choice of wording, mawkish, roseate, jetsams, nice. It's got to be one of your best.
