Love Sonnet 229
When trophies rained upon my neighbor's yard,
With not a trickle spilling down my lawn,
Seems that misfortune fell on me so hard,
Thru nights of darkness without hints of dawn;
Time pelted me with woes that I can't shake,
To fill my cup to fullness ever since
That day, this yoke my shoulders vowed to take,
That all my brows, with saline sweats would rinse;
But lifeline bridged the sea, cast from your hands,
To fetch this castaway from raging waves,
At last in your embrace I found dry lands,
Your eyes, the guiding stars this sailor craves;
..... Let trophies rain, but love is what I've sought,
..... Or else, the sunshine, bright, that your love brought.
...To delineate the times that lovers miss,
...A thousand dreams can't beat a single kiss.

Thanks Lassie for appreciating the sonnet. I am encouraged considerably. You have written nice poems yourself.Lincolnshirelass wrote: ↑04 Jan 2018, 04:52 Belated thanks for sharing the lovely poem. I love the extended sailor metaphor, and there is such a beautiful blend of formality of style and depth of emotion.
