The hilltops covered in pristine white snow Sunlight glistening off silver tipped peaks And yet nature’s beauty does not show As much elegance as your body speaks
The corners of your mouth rise up to smile A light in your eyes brighter than the sun All the time spent in your arms so worthwhile A magical feeling compared to none
I capture moments in my heart to save To hold me through times when you are not there For your loving touch is all that I crave When life’s priorities leave none to spare
So now I sit with memories in mind Waiting to create more of the same kind

Hi Cloudy
If this has been a struggle, then you've coped with it amazingly well! A really fine sonnet both in content and on a technical level.
I think you did a wonderful job with this sonnet cloudy! I struggle with them also.
