Mystic Rose Rose Poet Sonnet

What Makes Me Sigh

A moment on the ear an opus creation without flaw   
the sound of pure laughter from a child on a see saw    
prolonged hours of ecstasy in the palm of God's hand  
the sound of the ocean on my chest and where I stand

A daffodil of yellow smiling up at me from base  
the scent of petrichor in the soil after a days rain 
spectacular views from Mars or any place in outer space 
just about anything that makes me laugh, insane  ! 

A slow and gentle kiss and poetry from Baudelaire  
romantic dates that end with chocolate and roses 
wooly socks, afghan blankets made of little squares 
antiques that remind me of mom, and her neurosis 

a million breaths released just after,  "I SIGH", 
and all the things on my bucket list before I die.
