Our Love
At last we join in amorous embrace
to feel the passion build each time we meet.
With soft caress you touch upon my face
and, on my mouth, your lips that taste so sweet.
Two hearts that beat as one in lovers kiss;
the joining brings us joy we’ve never known.
Caressing, tender hands create sheer bliss
as, holding close, you take me for your own.
How could a love denied ‘til now feel right,
although the gods bestow it from above?
For bringing us together here tonight,
I thank Him for our all-enduring love.
This love we feel between us blossoms true
‘til once again we’re born to live anew.
Jenelda White

Beautiful
Jen:
I love your love sonnet and as I read the final two lines I recived such an underlying message of rebirth with the unison of two people. A rebirth as in starting a new generation of a couple intwined. And as we know with spring and rebirths, life continues in. Tahnk you for this uplifting poem and good luck in the voting.

Dear Jen, I loved this when I first read and I still don't know what original picture you had there.
And I still love it.
Love Hine

I remember this - the painting is clearly set in Paris, and the poem reflects it beautifully.
True love lives through difficulties, it is a marvellous gift.
Best of luck in the voting!

Apparently I didn't enter contest #12 and for some reason never commented on this...my loss back then.
It's beautiful of course in ways that only earnest love can write. There's no flim-flam in your words, and I think I know the difference...
This:
How could a love denied ‘til now feel right,
although the gods bestow it from above?
and the last two lines, they're, for me, the most meaningful, honest and heartrending at the same time. If I'm voting this has a shot at a trophy...and hey lookie, I'm voting.

Dear Jenelda,
This sonnet (which I first saw in August 2006 and again last year when you entered it in an earlier Huguenauties contest) loses none of its appeal on repeated reading.
Had it not been in contests, its perfection as a sonnet, its sincerity of expression and the beauty of its message would have earned it a place in the Wyleian collection.
That it is your favourite is understandable as it is also one of mine. The picture is perfect too!
Best of luck in the voting.
Applause, love and hugs, XXX Hugh (R.)
PS: AWWWW! This miserly system won't allow me to applaud it again but you know I would if I could. XOXOXO

Dear Jen, Having read this before I can see why it's your favourite.

nice thoughts and great painting

Humm...if not for the background, I'd say I've been on that park bench in the picture, and in that exact pose.
It is a wonderful pic for the poem, but as shewolf stated, the poem stands on its own. I will always favor love poetry because it most easily touches my heart, as this one does. Good luck to you in the contest!
Best wishes,
~J.

How romantic! Love can be a wonderful thing to feel and read about
Beautiful!

This is such a beautiful sonnet that flowed right from the screen into my heart. It makes me long for that one true relationship that I know every girl dreams of. The accompanying painting by Monet was a great "touch" and brought the entire poem to life for me. Best of luck!

Dear Jen
Hmmm I know who this is for but my lips will stay zipped. A lovely Sonnet that I see I missed out in commenting on. I'm pleased you entered this paticular poem into the contest.
Love A/J

Dear Jen, How did I miss this beautiful Sonnet before? Going by Hugh's comments it must've been a doozy of a picture to be marked ADULT! Now you have me curious.
A very lovely written Sonnet and I know that Heath and I will be together in our next life, just as we've been together in past lives.
Good Luck.
Hine.

Dear Jenelda,
Now that you have changed the picture, I apologize for my earlier frivolous comment.
This is a beautifully written sonnet with a message of sincerity and feeling. It is also graceful and endearing and is a worthy choice as your best poem.
I have bookmarked it this time as it is no longer "adult"
Good luck in the contest voting.
Applause, love and hugs, XXX Hugh R.

Very nicely done!
Love the flow in this well-written sweet love poem. Best of Luck to you in this contest!

Oh very well written. I can feel your passion as the words flow on past. I am so glad I stopped by & read this. Such warm love felt. ~Ron~.

Thank you Chris, yeah us ladies are inclined to write more about love at night, but in real life, the right time is anytime.right
I would love it if you sent me a free wallpaper site.
Jen.

Hey I use this same pic in many of the cards on my web site too, it’s neat, passionately romantic, German in origin I believe. Works well with your poem too.
I’ll send you a link to a great free wall paper site some time if you like.
Not a criticism as I don’t do that really, but you ladies always think of romance (in poems) as if intended for evenings only? Day times any time good too you know (man joke).
I think this is neat, it’s got a lot of feelings hiding within that speak of your maturity and experience over all, it’s a shame the moment doesn’t last but there’s always another day, endless times to relive the experience passion and embraces yes? See you got me thinking with this one, your mind, emotions work alike mine in your poems.
Well done indeed -
HMMMMM You reckon ten "Hail Mary's!" Well it's worth it!
and I ain't telling who took the picture! Maybe it was "You know who!"
Love Jen.
-
Awwww! Jenelda,
Look honey, this is a poetry site, not a family album for you to show snaps of Peter with his jeans at half-mast and WHAT ARE YOU HOLDING ON TO???
Your poem is beautiful but I think it's confession time for you and I reckon you'll get at least ten "Hail Mary's" when
Father sees that picture!
and who was taking the photos? might I ask?
Applause, love and hugs, XXX Hugh.
