Rosy Cheeks

Of her rosy cheeks.

Rosy Cheeks

I bloom to the sight of thy face,

To the knowledge of our merriment,

To the sight of thy rosy cheeks that bloom

In the midst of the winter’s gloom.

Your sighs melt my cold heart,

For I praise the interludes of our enchantment;

And for you I would cheat death over and over again.

Wherein your optimism lies, it is oft contagious,

For thine arrow has stuck me straight through

My impatient bosom; but I find you saving me,

Over and over again. Rescue me one last time.

The sight of you blossoms winter’s stubborn cherries.

Time and time again, I quiver from the chills of your

Merry temperament, but I would not have it any other way.

Author's Note

A free-verse sonnet, if such a thing exists.

I call her daily, and she always picks up.

I picture you waling around the house, holding a flower, and practicing this before you rush to your love's window to woo her. Eloquently written; a bard for the ages!

[Shane Mohamed]

She has the cutest dimples in the world. I go nuts when I look at them. Her picture is in my photos. You flatter me Ledrew. I wish my writing was as fluid as yours. Thank you dear friend.

You are kindly welcome sir and thank you!

Shakespeare would probably say..."how did you do that?"

i guess a such thing exists now, even if it didn't before...
you maintain rhythm even without the rhyme..and the theme of strong love shines through.

[Shane Mohamed]

Believe it or not, I was reading Shakespeare before I wrote this. It doesn't rhyme but it's still stable. Thank you for the awesome review jacob.

You classy writes are just a mirror of the classics. Each line is carefully crafted like an artist...:)...........

Thank you Sami. I really admire you. Your talent is beyond comprehension, but you still reach out to help those who are less fortunate than you are, and you remain humble. You're a paradigm to literary figures.

[Sami Khalil]

Wow. That is a worthy honor from my friends and readers. You are welcome. God bless...:)..............

I liked the mix of blushing with blooming - it creates a lovely image. The warmth that is found in her melt, cheat death and welcome the extravagant feelings. a lovely poem!
