Night Of Desire

Sonnet written in free verse

It came into her mind seeing how the wind

Did blow, and sheet rain against the window

There would be no trek into the forest

No...tonight would be hot chocolate...fire

 

Soft music..much wild desire will transpire

As we stay inside on this rainy eve

Rain that tip-taps music on the tin roof

Lying in your arms snuggling, secure, loved

 

Never wanting love to end, just when night

Sends the tough storm on in, no...love don't end

Just lie and help weather the storm until

It struck her as she pulled and pried and tore

 

Life has storms that we must weather..holding

Onto each other, greatly strenghten the bond forever

Author's Note

I have been told that this is one of my best...

[Coyote Poetry]

Poem is beautiful. The description and your words were strong and filled with the emotion of love and thankfulness. A outstanding poem.

[just rose.]

It is one of your best. What I like about it is there's a kind of looseness to the flow even though you've still got the rhyme structure at work, and the words that come up within the lines, the way you use ellipses and "ands" suggest a kind of revelation, a real Wordsworthian spontaneous overflow of powerful feeling, almost as if both the reader and the poet are being surprised again and again even within a theme that implies permanence and security. An interesting juxtaposition. Well done.
