A Love Sonnet

I will love you until time steals the shores
This gift I'll give as open arms surround
And kiss your lips a thousand times and more
Caress your welcomed heart with feathered sound
Avail ourselves to ships of no return
To chase the wind from lands we'll both explore
And leave the world behind with its concern
To follow sails of love as they emplore
This precious love is cupped between our hands
And used to find the farthest guiding light
So trust can take our hearts to love's command
And faith that follows guides us through the nights

The waves through time we'll cross with tethered hearts
And wrap our love around our soul's ramparts

thank you Elaine for reading and for your kindness,I've found sonnets don't do well in most of these contests,the sponsers tend to lean more to rhyme, free verse or some of the various short style poetry..still thank you
