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 July 8, 2019 Best sonnet 2019 Poetry Contest Sponsored by John Hamilton

This is so much more than a sonnet...it is a mood, a song, a vision of splendorous romance. A Fave from me Sandra. Congratulations on your podium win! : ) xxoo

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

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. John
