Stone In Love

I remove your clothes with my eyes again
you smile then discreetly leaf through my mind
our warm heartbeats tolling in unison
the sunset accents this moment sublime
small talk became a petulant old bore
wrong and right grew trite under evening shade
suits of bone and flesh fresh from the tailor
no muse of morrow or what they might say
the footprints on the ceiling can’t be true
this joyous toil leaves morality soiled
a kiss to reminisce yet days to rue
hinges, springs, and minds all in need of oil
our passion travels at the speed of thought
reveal secrets to a sole I think naught

I am a lover of sonnets :) I thrive on the structure of meter and rhyme. Love this Richard. So very nicely constructed and amazing imagery !!! ~Judy

Richard, on the surface sensual and passionate.. beneath the surface I sense remorse that was to be expected. An intriguing and compelling poem. I was enthralled from your first two lines till the end. Wondrous imagery throughout but especially, 'the footprints on the ceiling can't be true' - fantastic poetry.

Sonnets are a challenge for me. They demand a certain structure, meter, rhyme scheme. I hope to write more. Thanks for your kind words and input. It means a lot.
