An excellent sonnet Richard;lovely words, the thing it captures for me is the importance and preciousness of the present moment e.g "the last thing on my lips..." a precious moment in itself before one drifts into sleep taking the beloved with you-great writing

[Richard🖌]

Thank you sincerely, George.
You words of praise, enjoyment, and understanding are a mana to an olde bard's ardent hopes, assuring that his wares are appreciated and value found by one of those with whom he shares them most endearingly.

Your take is priceless in the quote of line you've so deftly excerpted … gratefully yours! ⁓ Richard : )

Thank you, Mary Jo,
I love to write poems that make readers dream and relate to the essence in and glow from my words.
I, too, especially enjoy the sensually entreating artwork, by Natasha Von … it sets the perfect mood for this piece, don't you think?

Happy dreams, Poetess! ⁓ Richard ; )

Thank you Dear Jasmne,
I always know you're going to offer something to make me think and feel whenI see your name on one of my poems … that's why I get the warmest smile all through. : D
Yes, I understand so very well, and love takes in so very much in depth and longing, too, and returns it twofold when it's right, eh?

Thank you for your lovely touch, Jasmine … hugs to you! ⁓ Richard : )

Beautifully written, in a form I can but emulate.
The passion shown is sensually presented, in a dream like essence. Building is impeccable, while the romantic presence stays true to true romance.

[Richard🖌]

Thank you, Dear Poet,
Coming from one passionate sonneteer to another, your words of understanding, appreciation, and praise are truly gratifying and inspirational.

My most gracious thanks on your fine review for this romantically-stimulating piece! ⁓ Richard : )

Time, the thought and write of it, seems to pre-occupy so many people's thoughts at present. Whether it's our uncertainties and dulled hope, i don't know. perhaps we need Love to take the reins its powerful hands and make miracles.

However, when poetry like yours displays such a heart and concept.. one thinks how valuable the human mind appreciates that gift we all have yet sometimes waste.. let dormant. Your poem is both gentle-beautiful yet sensual-raw. Wonderful its meaning, wonderful its display.

[Richard🖌]

Well, Dear Em,
I'm not smart or deep enough to hold the answers to such profound questions, but I must concur that it seems Love would warmly and sweetly fill those empty spaces yearning questions occupy.
When your mind and heart speaks in such tender voice, a captive ear can surely find its way.

Thank you ever-so gently, Em … now, day just feels more right! ⁓ Richard : )

wow...i just loved this poem....especially the last two lines...they just touched my heart...how two heart became one...isn't it a wonderful thought being in such environment when two persons who love each other come together as one..it's simply wow...

[Richard🖌]

What a lovely, inspiring, and gracious review you've gifted this rather warmly sensual piece, Little Poetess.
How happy I am you selected it, because there are a myriad of lessons in cadence, rhyme, poetic expression, metaphor, and imagery to be enjoyed and taken away in the mind, heart, and soul … perhaps, to bless your own new poems.
Your praise and understanding are encouraging, indeed, and I, too, love those last two lines for the same reasons you do.

With warmest thank you hugs! ⁓ Richard : )

Hello, Richard! :)
This is a lovely sonnet. It seems you've found the trick to wake up in a good mood. Haha
Of all the lovely phrases here, "as though you'd laid your heartbeat in my hand" really grabbed me.

[Richard🖌]

Thanks, Dear Matt!
That is my most favorite line in this classically rokmantic piece … the spark that illuminates the rest.

Beautiful review, My Friend! ~Richard

Hmmmm...this is the second of your poems I've read, and I am left wondering just what to say. I love the feel of it...the sense of reading something written by one of the classic poets we all love and admire...and yet it is uniquely your own. You capture the promise of love...something I have a hard time doing. My work usually centers around the darker side of it...but that doesn't mean I don't believe there is something more. Your work definitely pays homage to the 'something more', and it brings a sigh and a smile. It's the 'happily ever after' at the end of a best-seller. Thank you for sharing this beautiful poem.

[Richard🖌]

I certainly am thrilled you thought of something to say, and what you said ws exactly what I'd want to hear, if the choice were mine; except, you said it far more powerfully and enthralling than I could have imagined.

Thank YOU for blessing this hopeful little piece … you are more than a little welcome to any and all I have to share.
You not only inspire me, your words breath wonderment into my core … big hugs of returned happiness to you! ⁓ Richard

[ReedWrite]

LOL...ahhh, Richard. Grins at you and smiles. You have a way with words, don't you? The golden tongue...and truly, we love it. I love reading pieces that speak to me...each with their own distinctive voice and melody. It was my pleasure to read and comment on your work. Big hug right back at ya! :)

[Richard🖌]

Words reflect the being, yours and mine create a lovely image.
Thank you for the smiles and grins, I feel them dancing all within.

[Angelheart1]

Again, you've beckoned and I've "Come" in answer to the calling.

Your words have such a deep depth of tenderness and sensuality that it makes one's heart swell and a soul seeking a blissful release "in unison".

Thank you for sharing yourself through your words Sir. 😇Angel

[Richard🖌]

Aw, Angel … you're so lovely!
Thank you, bless you, Dear Poetess, for answering my summons to come in harmony to this moment wrought in poetic bliss.

The sensation you gift is the epitome of that picture, M'Lady … thank you warmly for that! ⁓ Richard

[Angelheart1]

You are most welcome Sir, for it is my Pleasure to read your lovely words. 😇

[Richard🖌]

Sighhhh ... !

[Angelheart1]

There's that wonderful "Sighhhh" again, which means as much to me as your words.

[Angelheart1]

I’ve heard you beckoning again Sir and came as quickly as I could. I enjoyed reading your dreamy words again-well done. Angel

[Richard🖌]

Thank you, Angel … again.
