Robert Lindley Poet Sonnet

As Sweet Essence of Truest Love's Serenity

As Sweet Essence Of Truest Love's Serenity

In twilight gleam, thy soft new morn's eyes glow
I take a peek, to see thy naked form dance.
When you say, love rise and shine, you must know
thy beauty and voice sends me into a trance.

Lesser men would call thee, too proud and vain
yet thy soul, kind-heart, this bad error belays.
Need for thy touch I can not explain
except to say, may it remain all my days.

Moonlit scenes, thy kissing holds my heart true
romantic addiction I can not refuse.
Where I am ground, thou art soft sky blue
thy Spring rains are, ripe fruits of our love paid-dues.

Pray I, our union sails through eternity
as sweet essence of truest love's serenity.
