To Leave the Old World

Each new day my treasured thoughts you lay claim
As minutes stretch and I search for patience
Restlessness arrives and your love I blame
As it calls to my heart with reverence
Nothing collides with the world but you
As time becomes much harder to replace
This love shared without hesitation is new
Soon to pour into a river of grace
To hold this moment without care or thought
And keep it close as a gift now treasured
In love's place of rest, neither bought nor sought
The love within our eyes is not measured
As two follow the course of love's strong stream
They leave the old world for one with a dream

Another romantic sonnet, another excellent offering to those of us who appreciate your words. This is a fave for me.(I could fave all you write but have to leave room for others) lol!

When two lovers lock eyes, its easy to leave a world behind for a new one full of passion and promise, you haven't lost your Midas touch Frederic. Thank you for sharing.
