David Mohn Poet Sonnet

Laura

Your worshipped face transcends sweet heaven’s art 
As dusk’s soft brush inspires the dying sun 
Its winsome stroke etch prose within my heart 
This wanting yearn becomes undone 
Vast waves of passion, surging past their shores 
Immerse my thoughts in pulsing streams 
Beyond this wistful world and yours 
Fates metered hand surely binds our dreams 
But O, my soul’s sharp thorns impale this need 
A bloodless wound, more precious than my life 
Love’s fevered bite, its poisoned reed 
I wallow in this joyful pain and strife 
No scent or graze will this man find 
We’ve only loved, within my mind

My 1st poem posted on PS and my first ever attempt at a Sonnet.
I remember being surprised to get such a warm welcome and comments so fast
