Sandra Adams Poet Sonnet

Soft Whispers

there are no stars in these beclouded skies
to linger on the edge of darkened nights
no reflections to shine within your eyes
nor moonbeams to gather within my sights

as january's wind encircles me
i lose myself in the depths of my dreams
where breathless sighs fall within whispered pleas
and your fingers brush against my soul's seams

i feel your lips tenderly touching mine
in blushed little strokes of passionate sighs
that send soft quivers up and down my spine
as you pull me closer hands against thighs

soft whispers of your breath fall upon me
as darkened night erupts in ecstasy

Aditi Mishra June 17, 2020 at 1:47 AM You weave simple, soothing emotions into such brilliant poetry Sandra. "breathless sighs fall within whispered pleas"...gorgeous! Congratulations on your win :)

JC Brul June 16, 2020 at 2:27 AM "soft whispers of your breath fall upon me as darkened night erupts in ecstasy" These last two lines are captivating! Congrats on your win!

John Watt June 16, 2020 at 1:57 AM Sandra, I just love how your couplet ties the three themes together; the whispers and breath of stanza 2, the darkness of the first stanza, and the ecstasy of stanza 3. Passionate and dreamy, crafted with your unique flair and phrasing. A fave, so happy to see it recognized today. Hugs ~ John

Michelle Faulkner June 15, 2020 at 4:58 PM This is so seductive and sensual, especially the lines 'my soul's seams' and 'blushed little strokes' - that attention to detail makes it all the more vivid, congratulations on your placement!

Jeanne Mcgee June 15, 2020 at 2:20 PM Ouuu, this is passionate and tender at the same time. So happy you got a first...well done Sandra

John Hamilton June 15, 2020 at 9:30 AM You knew how much I valued this sonnet Sandy, so here's your win, where it belongs!

John Hamilton January 8, 2020 at 3:56 PM I'm with Craig and T.J this is a great sonnet Sandy, so beautiful, I think Emile will enjoy it, I would enter it if I were you. (I've entered his contests a few times and not placed) but I'm sure this will! Sandra Adams January 8, 2020 at 6:24 PM wow, thank you so much John....i value your opinion as well... after all you have hosted some sonnet contests and i wrote a beauty for one of them... i entered it... fingers crossed... hugs

Craig Cornish January 8, 2020 at 7:37 AM Your "experiments" at rhyme are much better than the comfortably seasoned efforts of those who write it all the time and mixed within the scheme and syllable restrictions - even better, not to mention your expression of passion. I don't think you should hesitate entering it in Emile's contest because it fits all his requirements perfectly - the rest is subjective to him if he can survive his own heavy breathing LOL - I barely have 8-) Sandra Adams January 8, 2020 at 9:45 AM Wow Thank you Craig... with comments like yours and Teppo's (both who i feel are masters at this form) it gives me some confidence in my ability to write them... thanks for the smile and pat on the back.... hugs :)

Lindsay Laurie January 7, 2020 at 8:58 PM Very good Sandra. Great flow and rhyme. You should be proud of this sonnet - Lindsay Sandra Adams January 8, 2020 at 9:41 AM Thank you so much Lindsay....i am learning to write them slowly but surely :) hugs

Running Wolves January 7, 2020 at 4:26 PM Perfection Sandra Adams January 7, 2020 at 7:32 PM Thank you :)

Chris Green January 7, 2020 at 11:30 AM Who needs the stars or the moon when you have love right in front of you. I would think that even if they were there, shining brightly in the evening sky, you might not even notice them when your lips meet with those you adore. Beautifully done Sandy. You'll be known as a rhyming poet in no time. : ) Sandra Adams January 7, 2020 at 12:12 PM lol...i won't go that far, this rhyme thing is not easy for me, i wanted to write one for Emile's contest but don't feel this one worthy....but thank you so much for all the support you give me and your kind words... hugs :)

Vijay Pandit January 7, 2020 at 9:54 AM This is so rhythmic and romantic my friend--I liked the way this sonnet flows and links the love verses together. Excellent write, as always, Sandy. Sandra Adams January 7, 2020 at 9:56 AM Thank you Vijay...i penned half of it this weekend but my muse was too uncooperative so i let it rest and saved it... opened it up today to read it and the rest came... hope you have a good day... hugs :)

Ann Foster January 7, 2020 at 9:41 AM You are such a beautiful spirit, and a heart romantic... every beat in unison to the perfect possibility. Cutting edge work you have here, time to publish... :) Hugs. Ann Sandra Adams January 7, 2020 at 9:43 AM wow... thank you so much my sweet friend for your kind comment...i am working on these rhyme forms here and there... your comment brought me a big smile this morning... hugs :)
