The little tune is sweet, she loves to hear
him play his silly pipe. Their laughter rings
throughout the house, their joy in being near
has raised their open hearts and hopes with wings.
Their childlike play and conversation bring
them understanding, and the future spread
before them beckons. Love that's born in spring
can see the summer burgeoning ahead.
They love in trust, all ceremony's fled -
their smiles are ready, every chance a jest.
All future time is now, and when they wed,
the world will know as they do, they are blessed.
Together they are free, and two as one
embark upon a life that's just begun.

Thank you Yem.
Yes, I think you might have a chance with her. 
I'm glad to help if I can, and psst, my muse answers questions.

Hey, I want that type of a relationship too. I see someone named Brida wants the same thing. Do you think she'd like me? I guess I could go and ask.
Yeah, now I want to cry, it is beautiful and what I want, and will try my darnedest to have. I guess you're never too old to dream.
A big for you. You're poems seem to speak truths to me, sometimes uncomfortable ones (for me to admit,) but truths none the less. Keep writing because I think Mari and I might find your advice invaluable.

Thank you, Super Mo. I'm happy you like it, and I'll be glad to help you on yours.
-
good
wow. I absolutely LOVe your sonnets (that's why you're on my favorites list!) The rhymes didn't seem forced at all, and I love how you went so nicely from line to line. great job here, cheers and God bless you! -
Looks like a dream! The perfect relationship is when two people are able to laugh together, even without reason
This is so roamntic and lovely. I want one just like that
Kisses and love,
Mari

Nice
this poem is so cool i love it i will keep on reading your poems and i hope you will do the same well good bye-Romantic1 -
This is beautiful. I too believe that to be truly happy, you must be "free together". A wonderful sonnet Margaret. It's a shame there is not more love like this in the world.

Thank you again, Gennelle, this is a personal story (they all are). After about five years of marriage, my aunt asked me if I missed my freedom. I said, "we're free together". Life has become more complicated since then, but we are both committed and willing to persevere.
I think your aphorism is a tautology, thus true.
-
I know you're not quite that old!
I'm glad that 'silly' has a felicitous nuance in Scots. I think it is the same word, but in English it has lost some depth. Thanks for your lovely comment.
-
Congratulations Patricia! Newlyweds forever! Blessings
-
I like this a lot. There's a slight sense of Pan in the silly pipe, which reminds me of Ancient Greece (not that I'm that old, you understand!). And in Old Scots, the word 'selly' has the sense of bliss and happiness, which is just right here. Here's to the coming Spring. Best Wishes.
-
Every day that I rise, I feel like dancing. My husband and I have this kind of happiness after ten years, and our laughter resounds. This is lovely and delightful. Hugs, Patricia

Heart-warming
Gorgeously delightful and beautifully written (of course), Margaret! "Together they are free, and two as one"; that's as it should, and was meant to, be!
I coined my own interpretation of that old line about familiarity breeding contempt: Familiarity does not breed contempt, lack of respect does.

Thanks Mary. I think that finding the right person can happen anytime; I don't imagine that these people are particularly young.
-
A beautiful sonnet! I have an image of two people totally in love and filled with joy. Laughter and play belong in a marriage (even in the later years) Trust creates this sort of bond and you have described it so well. A delightful portrait of a very happy couple.
-
Thank you Del, I'm flattered.
-
muy bien
I concur, Margaret,
This would indeed be a lovely sonnet as part of the wedding vows. I also agree you are a genuine, first-rate master at whipping up a poem in this (or any) form and I applaude you tremendous tallent and especially the scope of that gift.
Cheers,
Del -
Thanks IOM! A second part, do you mean the "happily ever after"! I'll think about it.
-
p.s. oops forgot to send my applause.....here it comes!
-
Wouldn't this be a beautiful sonnet to read at a wedding? I can see the couple looking into each others eyes, while the minister reads this outloud. I think we need a part two to this sonnet. You are sooooo good at whisking poetry up. Hope this does well in the contest b/c it deserves the recognition.
