Listen to poem:

Lonesome Love

For where is the love that I seek, My soul searches deeper still… Hearts hibernating in mystique, I surrender to its wavering will… Looking up to sapphire skies, May it rain pearls of passion… Tears that fall from elusive eyes, Are saved as reminiscent ration… May I find your love in galaxies gold, Your sculptural smile behind the veil… Marooned to your mesmerizing mold Lost at sea to your sequestered sail… Can lonesome love eternally exist, Where kept kisses are forever missed. Dec.31.2019 2019 best sonnet Sponsored by: John Hamilton Placed 3'rd & POTD...Thank You

I've just returned from an extended visit with family to find this fantastic sonnet from you, J. Two thoughts that I favor are: your comparison of tears to pearls of passion, and...that you are "Marooned... Lost at sea to your sequestered sail…" Excellent poetic imagery.
