`Words of Love`

~Words Of Love~(Sonnet)

 

Love you are to me, drops of honeywine
With each new kiss beneath the golden sun
Your lips sweet bouquet, quench this thirst of mine
Our love has entwined, for all time as one.

Valentine,we shall sing loves sweetest tune
Share eternal bliss, 'neath a silver moon
Of Cupid's Cup, we'll drink a toast to love
Kindly condoned by the heavens above

Let's reach for the highest star in the sky
These words of love, are meant for only you
The sun, moon and stars, know this to be true
Forever, we'll cherish love, you and I

You are to me sweet Love, my heart's delight
These Words of Love I'll pledge, each day, each night.

Great mythic imagery for Valentine's Day: "drops of honeywine" in "Cupid's Cup." This is a wonderful answer to the Valentine's Day Challenge -- and you didn't even have to wrack your brain for something new! :D

This one hales back to Victorian romantic poetry for me. Love it. How did I miss it before?

NOTES: you need spaces behind several of your commas

[Fran Marie]

Most definitely an oldie from years ago, thanks so much for reviewing and the notes..

[T.I.M.S.]

This is a beautiful poem you have done a great job on this piece.
The emotions, and visions it effortlessly fills me with are truly a rare thing.
My writing style is different from yours, but I am glad I checked out this poem again it is truly wonderful.

What a wonderful pledge Fran.....A really lovely write *Captain has warm fuzzy glow inside* :)

[Lydia Shutter]

Sentimental, tender, gentle. Fran, your sonnets are in a class by themselves! This was a pleasure to read! Lydia

[TL Boehm]

the ryhme - there is a name for this format and I cannot remember what it is...but it appears you did well with it. its very 'sonnet' like - romantic - eloquent - almost 'victorian' in form and presentation. Romantic love is beautiful and so many of us simply never get past our angst and ashes to pen it.
This one made me smile and think of my husband....thank you.

[Hendrix]

One word "eloquent"

[Vincent Maltese]

its got great words, but the mixing of the ryhme scheme kinda threw me off. i guess im jsut that simple minded lol. eitherway the point is clear. and its a very nice poem at that.

[Angelheaded Hipster]

I could see this being something akin to wedding vows. I enjoyed the sentiment...sweet and to the point!

[Jenny Davis]

Sweet, sweet poem, Fran Marie...so eloquent and lovely. I so admire the whimsical flow and feel to this.
Beautiful job :)
