and it was May~

sonnet

 

Intoxicated with springtime's bouquet
my senses overflowed with gay delight
for I was young and loved, and it was May
and love's fragrance lingered into the night

Those endless hours of romantic bliss
cherishing love's embrace,warmth of your arms
savoring each passionate soulful kiss
captured in love's glow,by your spellbound charms

'Alas. my sweet love! time's cool breeze doth blow
and slowly you slipped away from my grasp
O', What shall I do! what I cannot know
live without you?~'Tis to deny life's breath

'Twas long ago~yet the memories stay
for I was young and loved,and it was May!

Lovely, simply lovely and the form is really good. To have loved and lost, is far better than never to have loved at all; and memories of course are forever.

This is a beautiful sonnet! It flows with imagery and all lines, save one, read perfectly! The fourth line from the bottom, would "O' What shall I do! Live without you-No! Tis to deny life's breath. Twas long ago-yet, the memories stay, for I was young and loved, and it was May! ?????work?

To be young and in love. I remember. Great poem.

[Fabian G. Franklin]

Lovely. The love of our youth is the sweetest love and the memories of that springtime day dance forever bold yet fleeting before our mind's eye, enticing and enchanting us to dream of times long past yet settling on our tongues like a wayward petal from apple blossoms caught in the wind of change.

To relive that May once again. :)

Good write chica. This has an old school quality to it which makes it really stand out. Kudos.
