Love Sonnet XLI

Love Sonnet XLI

 

As the day turns to dusk,

I fade into dreams, dreams

of the way the evening breeze leads

me to you….

 

They tell me, “let it be”, allow

those shadows swallow and

devour the heart of me. But,

I live in those shadows, remembering

 

the way you arrived, the way

your red hair enticed my wild

curiosity; in blue jeans and

 

wore my flannel shirt like

Summer air. When you left, all that

remained were memories and shadows.

Magical sentiments, flavorful romance, timely expressions. You are enticing other poets to wrote like that.
Best wishes on your future book.

I appreciate you Sami. You honor my poetry with your presence and thoughtful comments. They are often even better than the poem itself. But theyou also write like this, in sonnets and perhaps we should call you Sami, English Sonnet writer of the South? Yep, sounds good to me!!!

[Sami Khalil]

Hehehe. You are so kind. Thank you kindly.
Call me anything but not late for dinner. Lol

I really admire your loyalty to these poems. Again, like the others, a wonderful poem with very strong emotions and visuals shining through. I like the shadow metaphor of this poem, but for there to be shadow there must be light, right?

Hi Beren, thanks for the kind review, it's always good to see you roaming through one of my poems. She was the light. I was the darkness. And the shadow cast by her leaving is where I lived for a long time.

My goal with these love sonnets is to write 100 and then publish them in a book. Only 59 more to go. ;0)
