Wisp of Love

How many times did I gaze on thy face
In mine daydreams? When spent sun was fiercer; 
Before night lapse in dank vesture of lace.
Mine wane smile died with memories dear sir.

Whiff scent of nature's breath upon mine cheeks
Unfurl the substance in mine trouble soul.
Swell of explosive unsated love seeks
Warm wisp embrace, of thy intimate whole.

Brush flitter,  around musical full score
Ivory fingers purposeless upon 
My ebony frame, asking for much more,
Sweet release, mine demise, a distant yawn.

Eternal sunshine that was mine, a force
That's still mine total joy, but night's remorse.

Eve, this is beautiful, deep, and wistful. Love the shakespearean tone, the musical hints in stanza 3 and the rhyme of fiercer with 'dear sir'. Congrats on your winning sonnet ~ John
