There Was a Heart, As Large As Ocean Skies

There Was A Heart, As Large As Ocean Skies


Moonstruck magic, from her large bright blue eyes
There was a heart, as large as ocean skies
And I had met an angel pure and true
Garden romantic roses so soon grew
If only life would show her my love gaze
And set beautiful fires flaming in blaze.

If he, there in that soft fancy new suit
Could see my now-born love had taken root
As a grove of delicious apple trees
Searing eager soul, so ready to please
If only, this morn, romance sets its treat
And therein we both Cupid's arrows meet.

Moonstruck magic, from her large bright blue eyes.
There was a heart, as large as ocean skies.

Robert J. Lindley, 9-03-2022
Sonnet

Note:
This was born from a first love encounter back in 1973.
And yes love united two into one, but fate and world's 
Many dark temptations eventually tore that blessing asunder.
Youth and blindness, worked to destroy what was golden.

Ken Rone Date: 9/6/2022 3:12:00 PM Dear Robert: Anyone attempting a sonett should automatically rise to POTD contention. Your's is a great one! And absolutely worthy!. But I wonder if it was your poignant postscript which clinched the deal with the editors? It had as much gravity to it as your verses did.
