Notes About The Poem

All I Need To Know:

As thy shadows cast gloom over my eyes, I feel my heart pounding faster inside, Telling myself I can't live by these lies, Wondering if times shall change this low tide. Searching for an answer, I lay and wait, Aware only of thy pain that remains, Leaving my heart and soul to their own fate, I turn to you for comfort ‘til this wanes. For in your eyes, I lose myself it seems, Needing only your time and your sweet smile, When I'm with you, it's beyond any dreams, Please tell me you will stay just for a while. Together we'll find the answers we're due, All I need to know is that I have you.

WoW! Rick, This is a beautiful and well written Sonnet. We all long for that special someone to be there for us. I hope that "everyone" finds that "person" that you wrote about. This would have been a without a doubt seven:-) Alexis PS, Did I tell you that you do amazing with the Sonnet form? If not you amazing!

Now this is really pretty Wolf. You might consider saving that last line to your quotes. That good stuff! I don't have the option to give number ratings anymore for some reason but this is a 7.

This was beautiful my friend. Having someone special to lean on, to share your sorrows with, always makes things seem so much better. Just a calming voice can make our problems disappear.

Haha, I rarely venture out into the REAL world so my chances of meeting someone are rather slim! Not that I'm complaining! I have my faithful guitar shaped like a woman! Thanks, Chris! /|\

Hi White Wolf, an excellent sonnet you write and place before us. The words pull one into the heart of the subject. Love and the sonnet dance well together especially in the hands of a most competent poet. Your words paint a canvas of love's reflection. I am learning by looking at the construction of the sonnets of others. May your pen ever run gold. An excellent sonnet. Your Friend always....Mike.
