once more

Turn your head and look at me,
A  world of love for you awaits.
Your love alone can yet set free,
My heart behinds its fettered gates.
Your loving eyes will be the keys,
That turns these rusted locks.
Come to my arms and let us cease
The joys of youth so long forgot.
Some call us foolish to yet again
Brave love,life and old delight.
Foolish are we to brave the pain,
The suffering and the slights.
Let us risk all loss and shame,
For one glorious,wonderous night.

Spelling is forgiven where love is not forgotten.
A sound and heartfelt sonnet ...

(smiles) Oh Michael, this is so lovely, sweet friend, I think the spelling is alright the way I see it, may true love always fill your heart and bring great comfort that prevails all fear and doubt, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Michael, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

This was really sweet! For some reason (author's purpose?) I got them image of two older people falling in love again and being told that that was a foolish waste of time, but they knew they were right for each other and were happy together. Sorry. My mind takes off a lot! And yeah, I do keep a notebook around me all the time, but I still screw up!! Anyway, very pleasant piece. Keep it up!

Nice one arthur.

I liked

In reply to "which way do we go?", the answer was never "straight", but, "progressively forward".
