Gershon Wolf Poet Sonnet

Her Window Awaited

The night's sweet scent with fragrance of flowers
  On breezes lingered a moment or two
Then whisked away, the bells tolling their hours
  Skies clearing, dawn breaking, o'er hope's avenue

Her window awaited, trembled my heart
  She'd opened the shade and called out so sweet
Those words, I felt, just might be the start
   But who was her voice intending to greet

I stood there frozen and awkward a while
  Please God, her beauty I'd finally see
Just then appeared in her window a smile
  'Twas making its way so slowly to me 

I reached out, clutched it; sure never to slip
  Kiss, wing softly upward ~ Sail home to her lips

Sam Kauffman March 3, 2021 at 1:39 PM Ahh! This touched my heart and made me smile, Gerson! You have eloquently expressed all the hope, and angst, of romance and love. Here's to dreams fulfilled through open windows!

P.S. Awtry March 3, 2021 at 10:20 AM Oh, so sweet. Enjoyed "hope's avenue" and "who was her voice intending to meet"--sigh

Sara Kendrick March 3, 2021 at 5:41 AM Ah! So passionate and romantic. I wonder who this angel might be. Thanks for all the visits to my page. I have made some changes to my work "Four Way" about the chihuahuas. They are terrified of loud noises and guns. They won't stay in the room when I use the vacuum cleaner, the broom, the mop, and they are terrified if there are gun shots off in the distance or close. Hairy is terrified when it thunders but Princess just lies down and relaxes. Very different animals to some extent. Sara

Tom Cunningham March 3, 2021 at 5:10 AM Quite a romantic sonnet Gershon, well written. Hope you're well Tom Gershon Wolf March 8, 2021 at 3:56 PM Thanks, Tom. I am, well, -- well! Hope you are too. :) gw

Rama Balasubramanian March 2, 2021 at 10:57 PM Beautiful romantic write. Enjoyed reading Gershon Wolf March 8, 2021 at 3:50 PM Thank you so much, Rama! As you can see, I'm a bit behind -- almost a week -- on some of my replies. Can't attribute that to being tongue-tied, I'm afraid -- which would be #1 on my wife's wish list, no doubt. lol. Thanks, again. Light and Life, Gershon
