For My Valentine
In faith, I love thee without eyes to see
Or hands to touch the face of which I dream
Or ears to hear the voice of angels glee
Or lips to taste your skin of peaches/cream.
Yet in a scent of fragrant flowered breeze
That drifts through winter’s hint of early spring,
Releases me from grip of numbing freeze,
And sparks a vision what mind’s eye will bring:
A love that loves me like no other can,
Of which before, I’ve rarely ever seen,
And makes me feel like I’m the only man
On Earth, in Heaven; anywhere between.
For even though we haven’t ever met,
I freely give my love with no regret.

Bravo!!!!
Very well done!!

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

With solemn inspiration you compose
Your magic to create illusions strong
A virtuoso rhyme which brings repose
Your pen, it always writes the perfect song
To me you are a gift from Heaven sent
Your words of sweet caress poetic art
They sing the purest song in firmament
Alight the darkest spot within my heart
The sharing of this love to me so true
And lose ourselves in feelings from the heart
But yet remain myself inside of you
Of such a love I feel I am a part
    For even though we haven't ever met
    I freely give my love with no regret

What a lovely pair of sonnets! I haven't said anything in here yet, but think I'll have to come back.

I have the same kind of feelings about someone, even posted something on the same theme (also a sonnet) quite recently. Love it!

To love another person is to see the face of God.
