My Dear, If Once...

My dear, if once I could but hold your hand...
And lead you gently, by the rhythmic sea
And 'neath the solitary moon, like love birds, we
Shall walk upon these grains of golden sand
The moon smiles down upon us, ever beaming
Your tender heart beats in perfect accord
Those waves, they break the silence like a gallants sword
Then they caress the shore, like love-beams streaming
I sing to you a ballad, just for old times sake
Of lovers on a summers starry night
So innocent are words as beautiful as this
They drift into my mind, as it awakes
Amidst the sands of time, two lovers reunite
Our souls are sealed as one with but a single kiss.

'Our souls are sealed as one with but a single kiss'

A sonnet. Tricky little tinkers, sonnets.

A minor point - but as someone studying literature... you should keep an eye on your apostrophes...


Nice poem.

Apostrophies or no it holds the rhythem of the sea like a mantre, quite beautifl

Russell CJ Duffy said...

apostrophes to one side ('cos as we know, having been expelled from school, my punctuallity is perfect but my punctuation ain't)this is my second bite at this particular poem (sonnet is it? blimey) and it is, to my mind, staggeringly good.
