What beauty reflected in love's fair eyes, a passion treasured beyond all measure. As ardor stirred flames, I failed to disguise the need in my loins ere want of pleasure. As sweet the music I discern profound, tis more honeyed your lips when touching mine. Oh! My pained heart shall beckon love resound, my moonstruck maiden, unearthly divine. Mute, I cannot be, so near your soft breasts. This besotted man has but scant more breath. Grant me your pure love, not in mere request, but with an angelic kiss 'fore my death. I beg thee allow the stars remain bright. Give yourself to me ere the end of night. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ January 9th 2016

Absolutely love this. Perfect. Not a single thing to be improved, and like some others I am a big fan of the more archaic language.

Beautiful poem, Lin. I agree w/Carole, the language was exquisite. I love the OE, it is so romantic. I can see why my poem "Lost Love Divined" appealed to you. A similar poem as this, language wise. Love your work as always. Love you, RW.

Hi Lin, a most wonderful Sonnet indeed and a well deserved POTD for this Sonnet. So gentle, soft, dreamy, just flows from the start to the finish. This gets a seven Lin and it does join the other Sonnets in my faves....Vladislav.
