Robert Lindley Poet Sonnet

Return To Me

Return To Me

As I count the days until this Spring's thaw,
darkly a shadow hangs over my head.
Your sweet memory for me holds it all
always a place waits your love in my bed.

Yesterdays- memories made of romance,
you stole the hot desires heating my mind.
That fantastic night, I taking a chance,
was then rewarded, your sweet love to find.

Darling, fly back to our palatial nest
from your distant first vacation retreat.
I exist only when loving you best,
and pray for the moment again we meet!

Upon distant shores, you leave my heart sad.
For we are everything we ever had!

Paul Callus December 5, 2015 at 3:28 PM These romantic forays make for lovely emotional writes, Robert. I enjoy reading them, though at times it feels like I'm intruding! [found some time to stop by...can't stay away all the time:)] Regards // paul
