Maroochydawn

A year has passed but not July’s shiver,
  the bed is warm and in the air a chill
yet it’s not the cold that makes me quiver
  but the eros of our winter idyll.
She is up and rising at the cockcrow,
  her slumber over, her allure begun -
she comes to me parting her wet furrow
  and I am inside the gates of heaven!
That matrix of life and morning glories -
  that corona from sunup to sundown
and brightest of all celestial bodies,
  my lips desiring its luminous crown.
All else forsaking at dawn’s early light
I lay smitten from our midwinter night.


            Written: July 1998


Note: Maroochydore is in Australia 
         on the Sunshine Coast, Qld.
         I lived there in the late 90s.

An uplifting sonnet, I also enjoyed the rhythmic cadence

Hey Keith, your sonnet drenched in mid-winter warmth and rose-blushed desire is absolutely stunning.

Hello Keith, I like it because it’s sensual without posturing, lyrical without losing grit. You’ve captured a moment that’s tender, cosmic, and completely rooted in flesh. Keith you’ve made dawn feel a little more holy. Summer Blessings, My Friend, Daniel

I'm quite sure you're a "guys-guy" and have been writing for quite a while (great writing)! Bravo mate!---when I was younger, I hid my pension for written thought - now I don't give a fart - quite sure you don't either - the gals have always loved it anyway...still do, even more so! Love the sonnet!

Keith, you looked and described the feel of this place in no uncertain terms. Lucky to have these feelings and experiences. Smiles!
