A Love Built On Trust

A love built on trust Our love flutters on calypso breezes, cruising on the tropic of Capricorn All of our anxieties it eases, as mango sun wakes us this August morn Passionate dew glistens on sun kissed skin as we gaze at skies of peaches and cream your essence incites desires within We're enamored in this tropical dream This is no cruise ship infatuation We confess and reveal history's scars tethered together in hearts migration Promising love, under the moon and stars Shooting stars ricochet through cosmic dust Heavenly signs that our love's built on trust John Derek Hamilton July 13,2017

Wow I think that's a first for me too! Glad you like my simple sonnet, I don't usually do them, too difficult, but glad this one came out ok!

Really nice, I like this a lot it felt like I was on a cruise as I read this. And that last line...that was great. Best wishes in the contest

Thanks Chris, I;m not so comfortable writing sonnets, I really avoid them cause they're so difficult, songs are so easy in comparison.
