Robert Lindley Poet Sonnet

Sun Rose Merely To Reflect Her Glow

Sun Rose Merely To Reflect Her Glow

As her hair flew about, so did my heart,
unknown to me but a vision then loved.
So very strange, way our time got its start,
how she later became my beloved.

Glittering sparkles in her bright blue eyes,
as sun rose merely to reflect her glow
She that merely touched to fill my skies
always smiling as if time she could slow.

Her memory, shall I ever forget,
grace in her walking, sweetness in her voice
I first spoke to her on a friendly bet
now she would be my only loving choice.

Such glowing warmth in her big, bright blue eyes
Her being gone, left me asking the whys?

R.J. Lindley

Laura Leiser November 22, 2015 at 9:38 PM Wow, another excellent sonnet, Robert! I'm always in awe of those who can do sonnets well, as I find them very challenging! This one is so romantic, and I noticed you did it awhile back. Loved it, a 7 :)
