Resurrect Us Again

within the midst of darkened summer nights
a gossamer wind whispers through the trees
a melancholy melody benights
your soft whispers attuned within its breeze

i feel your gentle touch atop bare skin
as i dance with shadows in moon's dim light
pirouetting around what could have been
beneath the slow dance of yesteryear's plight

i close my eyes beneath your lips' caress
where memories hold tight your tender kiss
to live in the moments time can't repress
i slip back through the years and reminisce

i lose myself within memories calls
until summer's thunderous storm befalls

Connie Marcum Wong Date: 7/13/2019 4:01:00 PM This is so much more than a sonnet...it is a mood, a song, a vision of splendorous romance. A Fave from me Sandra.

John Hamilton Date: 7/10/2019 4:37:00 PM Well done Sandy you are excelling in sonnets now also, great write and in good company! Login to Reply Sandra Adams Date: 7/10/2019 6:23:00 PM Wow thank you John for you kind comment, hosting the contest, for the win and helping me expand my writing on new horizons! I only have one other sonnet and for me they are difficult so this made my night

John Gondolf Date: 7/9/2019 1:14:00 PM For someone who writes mostly free verse you wrote a wonderful sonnet, Sandy. I have written many poems reminiscing about past loves, maybe it's a sign I'm getting old...but I'm still young at heart. Good luck in the contest my friend.

Thank you my friend for your kind reply and visit :) hugs
