It isn't time to say our last goodbyes,
without your love my heart will surely break,
without you near my spirit starts to ache
enveloped in a sea of lonely sighs.
I wait for you beneath the moonlit skies,
the night is dark, the stars are soon awake
like fire-flies reflected in a lake,
without you how the spirit wastes and dies.
It's you I dream of, you I long to hold,
I wait for you, despondent, in the gloom,
my ears are deaf, my tearful eyes are blind,
I might as well be buried in a tomb,
as standing here, oh, you are so unkind,
to leave me here so desolate and cold.
Please tell me what you think

I'd reread this poem any day of the week, any night, and at least twice over! How you poured so much passion into form is beyond me! I love especially the tone of voice in the line "I might as well be buried in a tomb".

A sad sonnet of love that is not returned or nurtured, I can feel your pain, the betrayal of affections. Very well written with good flow and rhyme.

Ah.. my love of sonnets. You have captured the thoughts and feelings that so many of us will recognise here with your beautiful words. Bravo.

I love the parts of nature that you used to describe everything, it was a beautiful read.

Ah, dear poet, I must agree;
there is such a beautiful ache
woven into the lines of this poem.
What a beautiful and heartrending sonnet.

Absolutely wonderful done. As usual your imagery is very rich, and still growing. There is so much images/ thoughts here to ponder. A wonderful crafted sonnet, with the romantic spirit of Keats embedded into it. A pleasure to read.

Beautiful, so beautiful...
You always left me speechless because of your beautiful sonnets. It doesn't matter the rhyme scheme because you know to choose the best for it and the most important is that each of them holds the whole story full of emotions.

Yeah, it´s great and deep
it is full of tension, ask, who fell asleep in the very ancient time of a clear mind, but time of bad tidings, ask, who crossed the line, who was on a hiding to nothing...
Very nice poem,

Poignant
Who would remain as ice before such pure
stream of sincerity, such soulful plaint,
must melt in heartfelt fount, find ill mind's cure -
no other poet could such canvas paint ...
No praise elsewhere deservèd seems, no dreams
as sensitive, as soft, no prayers aloft
unanswered e'er could be, no golden beams
as radiant ! The readers cap is doffed.
One might as well be buried in a tomb
as stand untouched before such unsmutched beauty,
or isolated in damp prison room
for failing basic human taste and duty.
What paradox ! Where some disdain, refuse,
there others are ignored who'd light life's fuse...

Well Done ! ! !

and flowing style.Some nice imagery, a lovely read...George...

Sigh... I love these love poems and beautiful heart wrenching sonetts, I could spend most of every day just sighing over them and you are truely among the best here on AP. Tender smooth and perfect rhyme and flow I will bookmark this one, Lovely read. Mm who is JP/ can I ask?
-
a good piece of poetry - ah grief, love lost, to wander the gloom of a sigh's echo, where the spirit slips into imagination's domains and creates poetry, to wash over time's streams, into a future, where eyes are wide and staring under the same old stars.
-
How beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The ache conveyed in this sonnet is so well conveyed. I love the line about the stars, reflected in the lake: to me this quatrain also contains a silence. How strongly felt1 I cannot find the words to express how you've touched me!
