Silent One Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

This sonnet came to me, whilst I was unable to sleep a few nights ago.

Sleeping Beauty

It seems you only appear whilst I am asleep,
teasing rapid eye movement to awake and weep.
You hide, so I wonder how beautiful you must be,
fulfil my desires and give me the chance to see.
I believe you have beauty, eyes have never seen,
which allures me to places I have never been.
Maybe you were sculpted by Michelangelo's hands,
DaVinci drew you a smile only he understands,
Rembrandt's hand trembled at the sight of your grandeur, 
maybe you are the one, Raphael's angels adore.
Your image mirrors Cleopatra's unique class,
which fades at daylight, regrets begin to amass.

I do not know your name, Silent remains the tongue,
yet I fondly believe in my heart you belong.

Silent One

Don Pettinelli January 30, 2020 at 9:38 AM This is a great poem, I love your style of writing. This poem puts you in a romantic mood. I don't like a lot of the Writers today for the use of foul words and twisted themes. Your poems are easy to understand and as long as you write I will read and enjoy thank you.

Maria Williams May 24, 2018 at 5:24 AM Wow, sculpted by the hands of Michelangelo, painted by the Masters DaVinci and Rembrandt, adored by Raphael s Angels, and bringing it home with Cleopatra's class would be every woman's desire to look like this woman, every man's fantasy, not just in his dreams but reality. A beautiful sonnet Si, a well crafted masterpiece. Good to see you back...Maria
