Love Letter Sent To Heaven

That first moment I looked up from my desk To see you entering the office door How my heart stood still; it was in arrest I knew I’d not be alone anymore Piercing steel blue eyes were not stern, but warm Your distinguished beard framed by high cheekbones In a daze, my work I could not perform You said, “Hello,” in your deep, sexy tones Did you notice? My eyes never left you From the second I saw your handsome face Until I finally had to say, “Adieu” I was enchanted by your style, your grace You were my partner, my soul mate, my love We had what others can only dream of *Written for my late husband. Entry for Audrey’s Sentimental Love Letters contest. ©

Some beautiful sonnet writing, Carolyn. There is sadness in the loss of love, but the memories help to console us. This is a lovely account of that moment you first knew this would be the one. Hugs ~ John

So Shakespearian in rhyme, so Brownian in dramatic effect, so you in loveliness.

Many congratulations for this win. I am sorry for your loss. Seems like you wanted to add more after the 3rd stanza, it is painful to reminisce and your courage to go through the tunnels of love is evident in this write. Regards..Rinki

Best wishes on your win Carolyn in Audrey's contest, " Sentimental love letters." It's so hard to say goodbye to the one who was charming and warm. I am so sorry for your loss. Your tender words still ring with longing and sadness, but reminiscing these memories can be very painful. All we have is the hope for resurrection... I can imagine your joy! Thanks for your heartfelt comments. Enjoy your day. Love, Andrew.

Carolyn, I am sorry you lost your "soul mate", I dread the very thought of that happening to me. I can only imagine the despair one is thrown in when something so devastating happens. My heart goes out to you. Don't know how long ago that happens, but this letter you dedicated to him speaks volumes of your love. Be blessed in the Lord and take comfort in him always. Congrats on your 1st place win with such a beauty of a poem. Love always, Joy (Jew)
