Tom Arnone Poet Sonnet

Sandy Love

Her voice I move from a semi-smart cell,
Monotonous play, ad infinitum....
Softly time-tuning before I befell --
To be explained at a mere minimum.

Sun-baked lovers in a cool salt ocean.
A touching scent of beachy pheromone.
The silent stillness of love's devotion.
Starry-eyed kisses in the passion zone.

The maximum of a too jealous green,
Where the undoing of a heart is spun.
A challenge to truth by a thing obscene.
In the finish, there can be only one....

Her life sets me to optimum default --
For her absence, it is a rude assault.

Andrea Dietrich August 6, 2016 at 8:42 PM I was thinking of Sandy like in the movie Grease, but with the beach reference, I think it was actual sand you are referring to!! That beachy pheromone was stand out!!! Yes, the second stanza was the hot one!! Tom Arnone August 8, 2016 at 9:14 AM You are correct, Andrea. Sand. No double entendre present. :-)

Scott Thirtyseven August 6, 2016 at 8:02 AM Wonderful poem, but that 2nd verse is a real standout, from it's sun-baked lovers, to it's passion zone, what a pleasure to read. Tom Arnone August 6, 2016 at 9:18 AM Thanks, Scott. :-)

David Smith August 5, 2016 at 12:20 AM l like tone and passion. Modern words but old age feelings. Works well. Glad to see romance being kept alive. Well done Tom. I am doing a reading at local bar on Sunday as part of Jazz and poetry afternoon. Every first Sunday of month. Have a great weekend David in slightly chilly NZ Tom Arnone August 5, 2016 at 12:24 AM Thanks for stopping by, David -- and, good luck (or should I say, break a leg) on your reading.
