Heartbeat of Night

In the night, the winds~ sing in the shadows
   The blanket of your love surrounds my soul
     Wind song of night portrays a piccolo
       Serenading as my lonely heart tolls~

The whispering willows graceful branches
   Lazily dance in the lavender breeze
     Consuming thoughts flow like an avalanche
       Seductive thoughts of you begin to please~

Violin of your heart and bow of mine
   Make love together composing our song
     Joined in rhapsody of simply divine
      The strings of your heart is where I belong~

The heartbeat of night~ our love is complete
   I am all yours~ your symphony~ my sweet.

Hi Rose. A lovely song of love. Heartfelt. Lovely presentation. A well crafted Sonnet. Beautiful imagery and descriptives. Flow is good as is the line to line yrabsition and breaks. Nice rhythm and enjambment. Nice use of personification and simile. Rhyme is good as is the rhyme scheme. A nice mix of dactylic, feminine and masculine end line that is executed well in this piece. Deep expression of emotion. You express the magic of love and romance with allure in this piece. Well penned. Write on!

You are the master of the tender, elegant, and sensual. As always gracefully composed with care, recognizing the strictures of the form and being faithful to it but never having the form itself outweigh the message being conveyed. Well done. I particularly enjoy the use of near rhyme - you don't force the rhyme merely to meet the form but you use the near rhyme to better convey the meaning such as in branches and shadows. The use of the plural highlights the meaning where the exact rhyme singular would sound jarring to the ear.

Thank you so very much for that caring review...and thank you for taking time to comment Steve:)

Profoundly poignant & eloquent. The tenderness of your diction entices every reading admirer to appreciate the allure of your penmanship. Great work. I'm adding this to my library. :)
