My Winter Rose The sun still shines, but not as when she’s near, The songbirds sing, but not as cheerfully, While in my eye an ever present tear, Reminds me that she’s ever kept from me. These arms that feel the emptiness of loss, Must ache until her warmth provides their rest. This soul must pine till love struck paths may cross, And once again her lips to mine are pressed. My love is like the sweetest winter rose, That blooms despite a freshly fallen snow. Her effervescent beauty glows and grows, And changes every heart she comes to know. Return my rose, my spirit to revive, For in your love alone am I alive. |

you were expecting me, right  this is so perfect. i love the emotional content of your words. very nice, VERY. take care jm * make a note...things to do...try to write a sonnet and make it look easy like David... yea right...in my dreams (smile) Do you live by the book, do you play by the rules Do you care what is thought by others about you If this day is all that is promised to you Do you live for the present, the future the past... tracy chapman |

This was truly sad and yet beautiful~ I felt this one~ Marie~ "Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind." The Bard |

david2, you have an amazing talent for this kind of writing it suits you very well, and us too *S* gemini I want to be the face you see when you close your eyes I want to be the touch you need every single night I want to be your fantasy And be your reality And everything between I want you to need me, like I need you. celine dion |

David, this is absolutely wonderful.. I thoroughly enjoy myself each and every time I open and read one of your works. If you haven't read much of Mike's work, you should venture into his posts. I think that you two might just get along well. Try this for starters. This is Mike's A Dozen Sonnets for a Rose. Mike is much too unpretentious to invite you over himself, so I'll do it for him... Erstwhile - Your work is absolutely great!! More please??  |

David...this was a beautiful poem--loved the rose image here...I, too, know the pain of separation and you expressed it very well. Great job! Elizabeth "He have his goodness now. God forbid I take it from him!" -The Crucible |
