Not One Regret The sweetest thoughts I’ve ever known Are thoughts of you when I’m alone The thrill of love spins through my head At midnight hour in winter’s bed The memories warm the windy night And fill my heart with sweet delight As shadows of the tree limbs fall And dance across my bedroom wall A portrait of your face appears In visions held throughout the years But time has healed a spirit torn When love was lost as life was born Not one regret could I avowal For having loved and loved you well Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 05-21-2001).] |

Indeed, not one regret should ever cross your heart, because we know you loved him well, with your all.... and still do.... |

Nice sonnet. May I suggest an amendment to the final couplet? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Not one regret could I you tell For having loved and loved you well ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I hope I have not offended ... Live for love. Without love, you don't live. |

Superbly woven, Elizabeth. Thanks for the vocab lesson, had never heard of the word 'avowal' before today. Found it in my dictionary, too, heh heh heh checking up on you. ![]() |

Liz, I love sonnets and this one was certainly well constructed. The imagery was superb and I could "see" the writer in this piece. Most excellent!! Michael Proust- |

I have to agree with O2beme...I find your piece, and save it to the last (kind of like dessert!), as I know I will leave the blue pages fully satisfied, having saved it for the last. Excellent as usual, and this of course is love. ~*~ I write ~ Therefore I am ~*~ |
