Poem -
Love Sonnet No:2
Inspired by the song Bloom by The Paper Kites
Oh how morning splays its radiant gaze
To gently coax those heavy laden eyes
That dream of perfect lazy summer days
Where doting souls collapse as they collide
To shine like iridescent summer rain
Which spills and thrills, to quench two thirsty hearts
Where words no longer hold the weight to claim
The depth of which these lovers feel apart
For beneath the starlight spangled, lamplit sky
Where dreams evoke the souls that wish to seek
An imprint of their love sits in each eye
A waking souvenir for them to keep
To feel the sun's radiant morning kiss
So softly placed upon their wanting lips

I feel the yearning in this and the sadness or maybe wistfulness...a beautiful haunting melancholy write...love this Gwen and its so good to have your work and presence on here again...missed you 💛🧡
Thank you so much my friend, your words are a huge comfort. Sending hugs your way ❤💖
A beautifully written sonnet Gwen 👏👏👏👏 excellent work x
Many thanks Tina, I am getting to like sonnets at the moment :) so glad you liked this one my friend x 💖
You know? I could never be bothered with Sonnets. I was always like...no thanks!
I used to just write and rhyme and have no inclination towards any "form" of structure. Then I wrote that Shakespeare one and I have since written more...often not even intending to write one and out one pops lol. They do make for a beautiful poem though, as yours so clearly demonstrates here x
Tina I was the same, I never considered the structure. I would just simply write whatever came to me, but like you say. Even though these days I do look at structure more, I still manage to spit out poems :) those tend to be the best kind. Can't wait to read more from you. I am cracking on with your book my friend. I got delayed after I fell down my stairs. But happily enjoying the read now. I think your pen has a mighty mind behind it 💖
You fell down the stairs? OMG! 🙉 Hope you're okay! You rest up and take things easy ...boring I know but needs to be done. Take care. Sending you get well soon healing vibes 💐x
Thanks Tina 💖 I couldn't put weight down on my right side to start, but much better now. Just a little dodgy..
but it will pass xx
Oh bless you! Well if it's any consolation I broke my ankle 3 weeks ago so I know the feeling! Glad you are seeing improvement. Hugs 💝 xx
Oh hugs back atcha 💖 you poor thing, I hope all is mending well xx. Its the third time I have fallen down my stairs lol last time I fractured my wrist. Everyone falls down them at least once xx
what a beautiful longing captured & perfectly displayed .. so generously left here for all to enjoy 😊💛 x
Wow Neville thank you for your kind words and uplifting support my friend. I am truly grateful 🙃 x
You are as always most welcome 😊💛 x
wonderful poem
Thank you my lovely friend 🙃 x
You are so welcome my lovely friend
Gwen such a hauntingly beautiful and melancholic piece that strikes a chord into every heart that has been through this sadness and all love's mixed motions and trials.
Perhaps we never really will understand why...but rather learn to live with the unanswered question.
A captivating piece!
And deservedly pinned and added to my treasure chest.
A great write Gwen.💖
Gosh Shaun, I think I speak for many when I say how I have missed your presence here on cosmo. Your feedback and insight never fails to impress. You are an inspiration with your poetry and commentary. Thank you for once again bestowing your thoughts and attentive words to my poem. I am forever grateful to know you 💛
Gwen just caught you kind comment and thank you and just for the record I was going through your back catalogue of poems or sheer poetic class I should say before my hols and will pick up tomorrow from where I've left off.
And I forgot to mention yesterday how music, songs or even a simple word in them, phrase or even a melody can inspire a poet/poetess to write and deliver a poem that's unique and reads like a song of music.
So with regards to this poem, your poem and in the words of Abba I'll end by saying, thank you for the music.❤️
Awe Shaun you are a stella human being my friend, your kindness is off the chart truly. Thank you for being you, and if anyone deserved a good holiday, you did :)
ABBA has a special place in my heart for personal reasons, so very happy to read your comment. Your good friend Gwen 💛
I hope you have someone wonderful to have and hold.
Liliana thank you so much for wishing that for me :) I hope you have a special someone. Love can give us wings when with the right person
