Sunset Kisses

My latest sonnet, written with a special someone in mind :)

‘Twas once upon a time, that glassy moons

Would dance with chance upon our fated meet,

As fabled love would seek to hold complete

This passion shared within the night’s lagoon.

Where fading light would trace the quiet dunes,

And sorrows hushed have sought to bring deceit.

No words are spoken, yet, eyes dare entreat

Such love as this to once-future’s commune

 

A glass of wine, with lips not its own, speaks

To yearning for tomorrow’s risk of soul.

While I, without escape, a mere mystique

Of mirrored glass, have found the one whose scroll

Fulfills this tale of life beyond the creek…

The one whose hope echoes my hallowed soul.

Sunset Kisses is positively touching. It takes a truly gifted poet to influence another writer into his or her world of imagination. As cleverly penned as this is it also manages to paint exquisite shades of promise and perhaps with a touch of sadness. Maybe it was just me. The last line especially gave me insight to many possibilities.

Oh wow, This is just so lovely,
I enjoyed this breath taking piece.

Beautiful Italian Sonnet! Love the internal rhyme in the second line and the mild atmosphere you've created. Well done indeed!
