John Gondolf Poet Sonnet

A Beautful Mystery From Long Ago

Twas early summer when she first appeared;
this lovely lady cloaked in mystery.
Her stunning beauty noted as she neared;
I thought we might create some history.

We spent that summer lost in love’s embrace
beneath the moon while bathed in star light’s glow;
intoxicated by her ebon lace, 
with ne’er a thought of ever letting go.

But soon as early autumn rolled around,
this lovely lady up and disappeared
in middle of the night without a sound,
and left me here with memories revered.

These thoughts of her, does summer time rewind;
her mystery still lingers in my mind.

Having such fantasies? ;) Wow, I can't believe you're going back and reading some of my older poems, thanks. If you look at some of my early poems compared to my recent ones you can see how my writing has improved. I've only been writing about 3 years. hugs, J

Brandy Nicole September 22, 2018 at 7:52 AM It sounds like she has become a part of you. Love is a whisper tenderly touching the heart and soul, never letting go. Especially if you choose to hold it so close. This is beautiful and emotional, all at the same time. Your thoughts caress gently around me. ~ Brandy John Gondolf September 22, 2018 at 8:03 AM Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Brandy, the thoughts of love from the past and even single moments from the past will always linger, and I choose to never let them go. I appreciate you and your comments my dear friend. John
