Love Sonnet LXVI
When I was younger, life
seemed easier, filled with sun
light adventures of us holding
hands while walking through
a forest of Aspen and green.
But, as I grew older, a Winter
wind blew in my face,
no mater which way I turned.
Then I met you, and began
to welcome the chaos of your smile
as poetry found my pen, Autumn colors
appeared on paper, then spread to Spring.
But all those letters I wanted to send,
sit unopened, held safely in my heart.

You just nailed the seasons here Curt .. well you did, all bar Summer .. Now I’m betting you are going to have one hell of a time between the coming of Spring & Autumn .. Write on brother .. Neville
Well Neville, I met her in Autumn, married her in Winter, and we divorced in Spring…. I guess Summer was the time of contentment!? Thanks Neville, I appreciate your comment.
My absolute pleasure sir .. N 😎👍
“Welcome the chaos of your smile”
That is… wow. I love that.
And that last stanza…sobering.
Ms. Mary, within a smile, worlds collide, kaleidoscopes swirl colors, and hearts beat faster into a blush. In other words, CHAOS!!! Who knows what would, or could have happened had those letters been sent, or words spoken? Perhaps a wonderful chaos?
Thank you, Mary. I always look forward to your visits and words.
My pleasure, Red.
Keep posting and I’ll keep visiting.
Love love this one… it’s one of those that flows sweetly from the heart into ours, just how love should flows. “welcome the chaos of your smile” how gorgeous this line is… expressing the bittersweet mess love can make us feel, it will stick in my head along other lines too, oh perfect poetry of love ✨💖💕 I like the song too, it fits the emotional ambiance. Thank You🤍
Hi Light. Can’t go wrong with the Moody Blues. Their music is poetry. That line came to me as I was thinking about the woman who became my true love. She left me for another, for a more “normal” life, but I still think about her.
Thanks Light, I appreciate your comments and visits muchly.
Hi and Good Evening ✨
Sorry to hear about that, but let’s us say even sadness can be an inspiration and birth good poetry 😊
Wishing You Happy Days 🎈
Thank you, and yes, absolutely.
