A Lover's Query

A Lover's Query I cannot love thee any more , nor less hast thou not thrilled to my nightly embrace cried about sins I faithfully confess in shock at my previous sinner's race? Nay, fair lady think me not a high fool a master of deceit that sells my charm tormentor in words so very cruel ruffian that scurries about to harm! My lady, looks at me the cock that crows that preens in the morning to please the Sun strutting, pleasing your eyes as our love grows do you speak soft and I come on a run? Do we not share this secret lover's bond? Secret nights of which you are very fond? Robert J. Lindley 08-25-2014

Robert, I can't pull of the sonnet for. Not even in a lover's query. It's as if you truly experienced it... Linda

I did. So very long ago.. Sweet dreams wrapped in a delicious mist. A glow wrapped into every stolen little kiss. A passion that exploded each and every way! Until life stepped in to end that O' so romantic play!

Oh...I love this, Robert. It is so beautiful...I love the old feel to it. Who would be shocked at sins? We are all sinners....One and all! There is grace for us all. Loved this piece. I've thought of you and wondered why you haven't posted something new....

Thanks my good friend!!! We old dogs be slow sometimes but it is because wisdom tells us haste makes waste and a slow walk beats a premature gallop..lol A bit of humor I gift my friend with this fine morn .....

Very nicely done. The imagery is outstanding. The rhyme and meter are almost perfect. Line 12 is 2 syllables longer then the rest but otherwise a very well constructed sonnet.
