Come and sit beside me love upon the garden seat
I'll weave a tale with harp strings for my loom
I wish to have you knowin' how you made my joy complete
sure, you have made grand passions in me bloom
With every mornin's sun that rises, every sunset too
I gather in as wild flowers from the glen
new aspirations I must share with no one else but you
with every new day bringin' more again
And, I will glad relate them to the maiden I adore
I'll seek for not but that your tender heart
might somehow be a wantin' everyday only for more
so that my love, you never would depart
Then everyday will be as one in paradise so sweet
with which no mortal dreams could e'er compete
Author notes
All my minstrels play the harp or the lute, just makes them seem more of a vagabond.

THis is wonderful. (look at last line.) This touched me since this is the love me and my husband share. It was a pleasure to read your work.

A sonnet in "extended ballad meter", alternating iambic heptameter and pentameter, one of my favourite meters and very well worked. I love long metrical lines!
Great Stuff!

Okay, dear Bro, I believe "loom" is something that weaves fabrics and I think you meant a stringed instrument.
Otherwise, master poet, this is gorgeous, romantic, dreamy flow. . . Ahhhh!
It must take the GOLD or I shall wonder what in the world the host was thinking. . . probably wouldn't be thinking at all.
Much love & hugs, SisBon
