Love Sonnet XII

Love Sonnet XII

 

 

The rush of an Autumn breeze

spiraled multi-colored leaves

across your garden of

fading Summer skin.

 

Love, you are the color of

mahogany that entices cello

strings to sing a melancholy

melody upon my memories of wanting you

 

needing you to find me,

dance with me, and plant me

deep in your red soil

 

so that passion may grow

among your roses,

your thorns spilling my blood.

Very passionate yet vulnerable poem. I enjoyed reading this piece, alot...
The poem employs vivid imagery and sensory language. Phrases like "multi-colored leaves," "fading Summer skin," and "mahogany" create a rich visual palette that evokes the changing seasons and the complexity of human emotions.
You used a very rich choice of imagery enhancing the poem. . also flowing very nice..
Thanks for sharing such lovely collection of "love sonnet"

Amy, it is a pleasure reading your reviews and comments. It brings me happiness to know you have seen the emotions I wish to express. I am a big fan of Neruda and found his poetry to be filled with the simple and common words and visions to express what it means to be human, to be in love, to know the dangers lurking within the shadows of life. That you see and enjoy my meager attempts to do the same is very much appreciated and in fact inspiring. THANK YOU!!!!

Hi Sami. A 'love warrior' huh. Not so sure of that since I have been without love for a very long time. Romantic love that is. But I do remember love, touching it, feeling how the heart races and the taste of her lips, the smell of her hair, the way her hands felt in mine as we walked.

Thanks for your review Sami, it is always appreciated.
