SONNET

DEDICATED WITH LOVE TO JOHN MARLOW          04/02/2014

(With Iambic Pentameter)

WINTER LOVE

Winter is nigh, dark days, cold winds will blow

Cold frosty mornings laced in ice and snow.

Snowflakes flutter, so delicate and new

They kiss my face; I am sure it is you.

Icicles form like glass chandeliers

Hanging down in structure from tier to tier.

Fresh laden snow like the first love I knew

So beautiful, so pure; “I had found you”.

The days are short, darkness falls and it’s bleak

I hear your voice; my heart lifts when we speak.

Love brings out the beauty in all that I see

My first and real love you’ll forever be.

The fireside glows; it’s superfluous to me

For YOUR FIRE in my heart will always be.
