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!

Ahhh, Sweet Kitty🌸
With such sweeping wonder and delight, your poetic words embrace and cuddle my appreciatively stirred warmth … your review rivals the scintillating beauty of this endearing Sonnet.

Smiles 'n hugs to thee for such a gift, Lovely Poetess! ⁓ Richard ; )

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!

dear Richard… to be painted on a Canvas of Pleasure among Blue Water Lille flowers would be my Refuge when the Sun is shaded by Rain Clouds of Doubt. Passion persuades the blossoms that bloom when you Move.. Deeply, Pat

Dear Pat 🎶

Oh, how your voice sings so sweetly upon the ear,
soaring heights in poetic fervor, they bring a soft tear.
Flowers of romance, flowers of impassioned love …
nothing painted on life's canvas can be the equal of.

Moving to your rhythm, Faire Lady … I'm so very grateful to receive the joy of your effulgently caressing words! ⁓ Richard🖌

Oh those first lovers who teach us the art of carnal knowledge and sensual pleasures are not easily forgotten.

I love this fantasy tale of being drawn to an otherworldly being that teaches the art of passions pleasure.

[Richard🖌]

Beautifully laid, Dear PB 🌸

Your full grasp of my humbly sensual poetic inferences is uncannily … a woman's words who's been there, done that!
And, what could be better than the pleasure of sharing such succulence with her(?) … I do it have that answer. ; )

Thank you ever-so warmly, Lady-Poet, for "loving" anything about my poetically creative fantasies! ⁓ Richard🖌

[Poetic Beauty]

I often read paranormal and fantasy romance for I love being transported elsewhere. This reminds me of an epic fantasy love story

[Lisasview]

Well, another one of your glorious poems

This one soft and wonderous...
Filled with many special meanings.
It flowed so so well.
I loved every word!! And I mean every word!!
Delighted,
Lisa

What more gracious blessing of a bard's humble efforts could there be, Lisa💫

Than to have a lovely poetess partake his wares in such sumptuously warm sentiments of depth-filled pleasure(?) … a question I cannot possibly answer? ; )

[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 🍃
