Frederic Parker Poet Sonnet

Intimate Sonnet

Nothing is more intimate than the eyes
To pursue love in the depth of round orbs 
Then descend as invitation complies
To find a softer realm love can absorb
The truest distance is measured between
When our eyes warmly meet in their silence
As honored guests ushered when eyes convene
With due respect and sense of compliance
Aware of love's status with eyes open
A welcomed gesture we gave without fear
We'll enter with a sense of wealth again
And find truth is held worthy to revere

When eyes answer with sensual replies
Nothing is more intimate that abides

Carolyn Devonshire August 31, 2014 at 10:39 AM Oh, so beautiful, Frederic. You made me remember how it felt to look into my late husband's crystal-blue eyes. This is very well written and, for me, the message is definitely true. Best wishes in the contest, my friend. (Jameis Winston played poorly last night - you were right. Perhaps I should eat my hat now.) Love and a serving of humble pie, Carolyn
