Notes About The Poem

A Lovers Kiss

A wordless song drifts from your eyes
     with rhyme disguised in poems lost
     from heavens smile your heart replies
     assuming risk, no fear the cost

     You dare not weep to dampen dreams
     but pledge to take this hand of chance
     no less from love this passion streams
     in turn of fate not circumstance

     Left breathless from a lovers kiss
     this treasure found its place in time
     a pleasure true, no more than this
     not once rehearsed in pantomime

     Within each heart pure beauty lives
     When fancies flight is there to give

An exceptional poem! A kiss ?? is a “wordless song drifting from the eyes...not once rehearsed in pantomime.” How poetically romantic. A 7. Best wishes and keep up the good work. RP.

This is beautiful for two reasons that are dear to me! One...the form...two...the content. I love romantic writes, Charlie, and this is romance, indeed. Also, I love the sonnet form. You wrote this with finesse.
