An Hour With You

AN HOUR WITH YOU
If I perchance could have my time again And, knowing what I know, could alter course. To veer left when the signpost right said “pain” And shun those paths which only brought remorse. If riches could be mine beyond my dreams And all that I survey, mine on request. A perfect end to all my plans and schemes, Long balmy summer days at my behest. Naught would I change if as a consequence I lost the love I hold so very dear. Indulgence would be little recompense If day by day I did not have you near. All other pleasures in my whole life through, I’d give them all to spend one hour with you. 2nd February 2020 Sonnet True Love Contest Sponsor - Brenda Chiri

Bryn, I love the line, "To veer left when the signpost right said “pain” and shun those paths which only brought remorse". To wish and give time again with a beloved if only possible. I too would do. Enjoyed reading. Congratulations on your win on a so romantic verse. Hugs Eve

Bryn, this is so elegantly crafted. The trade-offs you list of all the indulgences and comforts of life truly do pale in contrast to true love. I loved this - it's a fav for me. Congrats on your win in the contest. I look forward to reading more of your sonnets ~ John
