I Have Met Love

I have a love, my heart so wishes that she knew
What ploys and desires can I invoke to win her hand?
She treads so lightly so as not to disturb the morning dew
And her delicate heart never leaves a mark upon the sand

Oh love of mine please look to where this soul is residing
At the edge of the entire world it sees only thine reflection
Can you not see that my adoration is forever abiding
I would sacrifice all for a moment of your divine affection

For willows cannot weep more than mine own eyes
Yet as the rivers flow and carry my dreams to thee
All I can see is your vision across all the clouded skies
And your look of devotion would forever encompass me

Love, Oh love do not smite me with a dismissing hand
For no greater passion can be found across this land

About this poem:
Sonnets are not really my bag, bit too disciplined for me, but I thought I would have a crack at one.

Hi, trurorob,
Writing a sonnet is a good way to celebrate one's birthday and one's love. I have a love, my heart so wishes that she knew. First the sonnet, then follow with voice and action. Enjoyed.

wave Hey there Rob - nice poem you've got here. Sonnets are very formal yet are popular as vehicles to declare love for some reason. I hope she doesn't smite you laugh especially as thine dreams are being carried by thee laugh
