Sonnet

What shall I say to tell you of my love
Will it be in the music of a phrase
Or will it fall like dewdrops from above
Or snowflakes lightly swirling in a glaze

How does one measure love in just a word
How do you tell of honor and of trust
I’d rather be a little singing bird
And warble out my tune without a fuss

So timid is my voice to speak my heart
Convinced that I will falter in my fear
Shall I just memorize an actor's part
Or read some dulcet words for you to hear

I think a I'll write a sonnet just for you
To best express a love so pure and true

Oh sing it to us Lizzie  
rhyme divine here...I do so love your sonnets.

slow burn ...
light a candle for our love
So that we will always be
one on one in lovely love

Timid is not something I see in your writings, ever...

there is a quiet strength that gives us all pause...

well done Lady Santos...

This inspires me to write a sonnet or two during my haitus from life!  Thank you, Elizabeth!
