Is love my gentle smile inside your palm,
sweet grace to bend my face in awe of life,
so warm, as morning raising golden calm
to stir my soulful respite, free of strife?
How could I know of diamonds dreaming sky,
your feathered wish, my inspiration's brush
to blushing heartland, holding heaven's sigh
as angel baring wind to write my rush.
For you are wish, that grows my meadow green,
a drop of rain, one crystal, earthen tear,
my hope, to wash in universal scheme
releasing electric rivers, flowing clear.
I crave to lay inside your sheltered nest,
and sleep your rainbow bliss of blooming rest.

This is a magnificent and beautiful poem. It pours so well from the lip, like large stones dropping onto the floor. There can be no finer thing than that to be desired from a poem. Such weight and intensity. I am speechless!
-
Any comment of mine could be an insult to such tender beauty, so I will only say,
It is bookmarked and Thankyou.

there is nothing like a sonnet to sing of love, and you have done it so wonderfully, as always, Rich. my fav was the immense effect of the single tear--what an incredible cause and effect, like a snowball effect, only with water. just gorgeous!
congratulations of your much deserved gold!

Intricate poem full of beautiful words and music. Thought the rhyme scheme great because it wasn't distracting but added to the poem. Each line made me eager to read the next one! Good luck in the contest!

I tried to pick my favourite line from this sonnet, but couldn't...
it's just one beautiful, gentle sigh
...one long breath
a gentle smile indeed, Rich
simply beautiful and such a soft touch here
