Sweet Love of My Life. (Sonnet - Shakespearean)

by Steven Beesley   Aug 29, 2005


She fully consumes my mind every day
Her beauty no words can truly tell of
Her smile, her grace in every little way
She is so warm and soft, like a sweet dove

For her I would surely do everything
I hope she loves me, to have and to hold
All she need ask, I give her anything
My heart now warm, taking me from the cold

Surely she becomes every part of me
My soul mate she will be forever more
To love her as I do has set me free
So glad that love came knocking at my door

She brought the best of times into my life
I wish for her to be my sweet dear wife.

    Steven,

    This is truly a very charming work of art. It contains precise diction and brought back sweet memories of the days in which I loved without perpetuity. This piece is sweet, and very powerful indeed.
    "She brought the best times of my life." I relate to the whole poem verily. Very well done.
