Notes About The Poem

Summer Love

If only I could gorge in your lavender scent,
Or fondly nestle in your warm, loving embrace.
Understand that “I love you” is really meant
Let me gaze and wonder the beauty of your face.

A wan moonlight summer beam shines on your body,
I sit near a window pondering about love.
Your flimsy nightdress is anything but gaudy.
I hear your sighs whisper to the stars high above.

Elation squeeze my poor heart, how can I depart
And leave you all alone without my dearest care.
You are the epitome of love in my heart,
I could dance on summer waves all so soft and flair.

Summertime is long, winter seems so far away.
So stay with me, my beauty, let's not lose one day.

Your second stanza’s imagery is so outstanding Victor. This sonnet is a romantic bloom in a poetic garden of beauties. I hope this is a top winner for you my friend. Blessings xxoo PS Your third stanza third line has a typo you’re should be your. I will bet it was changed by your tablet as that happens to me all the time.

Excellent writing Victor, the wording is full of metaphors, and its smoothness makes its way right to the core. This could be a fun idea for a singer-songwriter. Have a wonderful weekend, buddy.
