Frederic Parker Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

How Quickly It All Passes

To know dark and deep eyes of them I dream
Of  rendered days and nights where love won't mourn
Where honesty blossoms complete the theme
And its fragrance is a scent to be worn 
In silent tender pause, I'll grasp your hand
And find a warmth and comfort lovers seek 
With a gracious smile, we both understand 
It becomes a habit that's not unique
We'll count days and years when we stop to think
And wonder how quickly it all passed
To notice evenings turn a softer ink
Before the years turn gray and overcast

  I shall claim nothing more than to love you
  With a desire filled life until it's through

Andrea Dietrich July 22, 2017 at 12:03 PM the picture complements your poem. Or was it the poem that you wrote to go with the picture. In any event, It's just lovely. I especially liked the line: To notice evenings turn a softer ink! (glad you agree with me: slasher movies suck but a good horror movie is awesome)
