Thou art the breath of wind on summer's day
The touch of grace that fills me with desire
The one who stands to wait and come what may
The darling one who fills my heart with fire

Thou art more precious than the wine in cup
The one for which my eyes alight anew
Thou art the gift of life in blessed sup
The one who shows a heart good, pure and true

Thou art the gift of God in grace to me
The one who knows the turning of the road
Thy precious eyes of love I turn to see
More blue than sky made by the mustard woad

Thou art the sun, the earth, the rain the sky
Thou art my love revealed in heartfelt sigh

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Kethry,

I once tried to compose a sonnet
As done by the finest of poets
I have to ponder upon it
Quite a bit even though it's
Simple to write one I've heard
Fourteen lines in all
The first line rhymes with the third
The second and fourth should fall
In rhymes in such a way
That a-b-a-b, etc.
So on and so forth to say
Whatever the thought is to be
But in never turns out like I want it
So what the hell-pissonet!
\
Kethry, a job well done...I'm just to the point where I can make rhymes every now and then...

Kethry,

Although the ability to write a sonnet has eluded me, I am glad to see it captured by such a beautiful pen.
Well done, indeed.

Beautiful... just beautiful, Keth...
I have never written a sonnet although I understand the mechanics of it...
I think that I am just not good at structuring things...
I notice that I am like this in real life as well...
An excellent job, you did with this.

Keth beloved heart sister and soul’s delight, who gathers the song of the morning and sprinkling it with rainbow’s light serves it to me dressed in such an elegant style

The write of sigh within the thought
The flow of touch that love had bought
Within the line that’s written here
There is no night that I do fear
The thought it glows within hope’s light
Illumes the mind and clears the sight
Releases truth to flutter free
Which once released, flies to me
And I am cleansed by such a gift
The words you write inspire and lift
The flow of love that touches me
Writes my sigh and sets me free
       This touch of truth your written sigh
       The touch of such I feel it’s nigh
Wonderful beautiful writing beloved heart you know I love it utterly utterly
      

Love and warm stuff
As always
Slushy

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the earthquake wind and fire

I believe that the sonnet is one of the purest forms of poetry. I find that writing within the confines of a given format such as this stretches us, hones our skills and makes us grow as poets. Not only do I enjoy writing sonnets, I enjoy reading them as well---and yours is no exception! Well done!
