Sonnet For R

I wouldn't write anything this flowery nowadays, but this was the first poem I ever wrote - and the girl I was crazy about was pretty pleased I'd written it... Your grace and beauty fill besotted eyes, Enticing endless vowing from my lips, And trading kisses for as many sighs, With silken touches from my fingertips. My true eternal passion knows no bounds, I pay you homage, ransoming my soul, Adoring every curve and each soft mound, Drunk on perfection - yours from head to toe, Devoted to the temple of your form. Your gentle lips more lush than any wine, Dwell in my arms for ever safe and warm. Unworthy, all I beg of you: be mine. To be your fool in love I am resigned, My dearest love, I pray, be sweet and kind. For Sara Kendrick's Sonnet Me contest

What girl wouldn't be pleased with such a romantic tribute, Jack. If a man wrote such a poem for me, it would be hard not to fall in love with him. Very passionate sonnet in perfect form. Wishing you success in Sara's contest -- but if it's for the contest, be sure to note the contest title on the bottom as per her rules. I've got your back. LOL Love, Carolyn
