Love Sonnet XVI

another Nerudaesque sonnet

Love Sonnet XVI

 

 

Espresso-shaded skin swayed

whimsically under an Autumn’s

midnight moon enticing me to

move within your shadow,

 

enticing a smile, a sigh,

and a desire to savor your lips.

There is the flavor of enchantment

in your breath, as you raise

 

chills and goosebumps on my

heart, causing me to live

for your music and touch.

 

My love, my world roams on your Latin

scented beach, leaving footprints of destiny,

and my signature in the sand.

Thanks for your visit and comment. I have missed your presence and poetry.

Whoeeee! This was so romantic and lovely. Latin ladies are beautiful. You bring and give justice . Neruda was in heaven loving them and showing it in his poems like yourself. I love also the places he bought and still exist in Chile. I like to visit them one day.

[redzone]

Sami, friend and poet, I hope you get to see those places in Chile. Send me pictures when you do. This poem is one of my favorites of the sonnets I've written so far. Thanks for you wonderful review and Sami, it's a pleasure when you visit.

[Sami Khalil]

I will do. You are right. You are welcome.
