I had uttered words that displeased my love,
Direct from my heart to her judging mind --
She stomped her foot; quick-flipped her leather glove
Then said: Insensitive I do you find.
I paused, and felt the error of my way -
But who am I to seek to know the Light
That guides a Woman’s heart? That inner ray
A mystique hidden ever from my sight
Reveals to me no hint of right or wrong.
But this my quest, be ever at her side,
And though with manly trimmed array I strong
May seem - still, did she ever know I cried?
I, but an ancient Hunter with a spear,
Waiting, longing, inside a hidden tear.

Oh this was a great write. Very heartfelt,
and beautifully conveyed.

This is beautiful and poignant, dear CastleGuard. Each of us is like a unique universe and so there are those areas that we shall never know of each other.

She is lucky to have such a sensitive man by her side.

Much enjoyed.

Love,
Margherita

I liked this sonnet, CastleGuard, Bill is smiling. The mysterious in the opposite sex is meaningful, sometime lackadaisical, but always enticing.

fine sonnet! ...

I posted one recently; (since several folks thought I only
do 'verse libre') however, it got ignored for the most part ...
