Line Gauthier Poet Sonnet

Opalescent

I close my eyes at night to reminisce
Thoughts of you feel much like a warm caress 
And on my lips such sweet trace of a kiss
Suspended stars divinely opalesce

As I let out a sigh under my breath
In moonlit park barely leave faint footmark
The heart fears most a silence over death
Connecting perchance two souls in the dark

Set free over an undulating stream
Whispers floating adrift a tender breeze
Romantic touch lifted from lofty dream 
Buoyant as if launched from a love trapeze

Hearts in sync blossom inseparable
Beyond boundaries undeniable
