Were stars to shine in luminescence faint
And moonbeams fain to fade light pale
My heart would yet o’erflow constraint
And seek to serve beyond its dated tale

To softly speak of love’s lost potency
Imbued with succulent smoothness
Washing waves of opulent regency
O’er the sand-soft stones of fullness

Embedding heart’s desire in fancied flame
Yet fretting not at listless discontent
That mellows soul within its frame
To which my love for thee was lent

From realms of soulful prosperity
With interest due in loving only me

Thank you, Margherita…you make it sound so good that I am starting to feel so much better

Faithm, thank you…I really appreciate you taking the time to not only read, but also to comment

Legacy, thanks, had to go back and look at its form…didn’t realize it was in sonnet form (just wrote it down as it came, but I used to write only in Shakespearean sonnet form…dull, huh?)

Et, your words were kind and appreciated…thank you (and I am glad you enjoyed)

Great work! I didn't even realize it was a sonnet til the couplet dinged a bell.  Not dull at all.

Ida, thank you...it is good to be back...have spent a lot of time just reading, some replying and now writing again...feels good

Lori, appreciate your kind review...as for the dull part...just remember, (in a Gump-like way) ...dull is as dull does
