Robert Lindley Poet Sonnet

Moonlit Rays Bounce On Jasmine Scented Hair

Moonlit Rays Bounce On Jasmine Scented Hair

She first came to me in the setting sun
her long searching soul wondrously agape
that June night dancing having youthful fun
in her arms, I begged for no escape.

Moonlit rays bounce on jasmine scented hair
as earth, time itself stood silently still
none matched or could her bluest eyes compare
for beauty's truth and grace of that night's thrill. 

Days glory resplendent, hours were treasure
morns set each soft and deep romantic kiss
her heavenly touch was beyond measure
we sought heart's every moment not to miss.

She coming to me with the setting sun
I would again race to in a mad run.

Sonnet, ( Romantic fervor and sensual delights )
( Where In Youth A Great Treasure Was Once Found )

Note:
From a memory thus was born
feast of love and youthful kissing
she from my arms fatefully torn
heart shall forever be missing....

Silent One June 29, 2020 at 11:37 AM A true bard never loses the romance and your poem is full of romantic lines.. Just lovely.. Robert Lindley June 30, 2020 at 12:34 AM Thank you my friend. My favorite poet Byron would agree. Romance is to poetry, as red is to rose. Bread is to precious life as words are to prose. No faithful poet will this wisdom ever deny. Romance is to love, as blue is to shining sky.. God bless...

Robert Lindley June 28, 2020 at 9:43 PM Thank you my friend. Wonderful romantic verses my friend you have given in reply. You perhaps should continue that as a romantic poem. I think it would be truly fantastic. God bless..
