Daniel Turner Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Our Time Together

I loved our time together late at night
Love's sanctuary in each others arms
Unwinding and unraveling what's tight
Those years I spent succumbing to your charms

Initially, those hills we climbed were rough
Our boundaries were drawn with compromise
That look you gave me when you'd had enough
Approval of my worth in ardent sighs

But now to mem'ries I've become a slave
Each day I live, I pray to be my last
To sleep beside you even in my grave
Reclaiming love that saved me in the past

The love you gave still warms my broken heart
It's lonely picking up the scattered parts.

Darlene De Beaulieu November 9, 2016 at 7:28 PM I like your poem I remember the love i had. I also remember the cheating he did with the family friend he had,he cheated on me with her. That hurts!!!!!!! Even so I miss him. Daniel Turner November 15, 2016 at 6:44 PM You heal by loving yourself:) Darlene De Beaulieu November 11, 2016 at 11:08 AM I am slowly getting there. I will heal. Next step is trusting. That will be hard. But when the time comes I will know. How do you heal? Daniel Turner November 10, 2016 at 10:30 PM I understand your hurt, Darlene. The harshness of reality is we all make mistakes and would like to be forgiven, which means we must also forgive:) Thank you for such wonderful visits.

I appreciate your support and yes I do have a mug shot! Lol

Connie Marcum Wong September 12, 2016 at 9:08 PM Danny, Your poetry has the power to reach into a woman's heart, open it and leave it beating faster, and feeling warmer after swooning over your words. Can you tell I loved this? You write poems women and men enjoy reading Daniel. Keep giving us the joy. Beautiful! Blessings, Connie ; ) Daniel Turner September 12, 2016 at 9:25 PM Thank you Mrs Connie. You are so sweet! I originally wrote this for Laura's "Sad" contest but by the time I finished it was too late. I posted it anyway. It's just as well, probably saved myself another NA:) I'm glad you liked it. That's good enough for me:)
