Love Sonnet LXVII
If I told you that
I wanted you, would the stars
fade out? If I asked
you to stay, would you
lie down with me, sing
songs to my heart? If you
asked me to stay, I would share
my life, my hopes, and my dreams
with you. There are times when
everything is in front of us, when
what you want is determined
by what is able to be achieved.
The rest is found sleeping
within the darkest shadow.

Brilliant and sweet. Excellent.
Hi Thomas, thank you for those kind words. They are much appreciated.
This ones of those that is written in simple words yet because the feelings are real and genuine, it’s like the only way to reflect these feelings is by the simplicity. no big words, no complication, it is as it is. It reads for me as a song of love and life, a sweet sad love song.
Forgot to mention the word sentimental too, it’s a sentimental poem/song.
It’s always a pleasure to read your comments, Light. Thank you for dropping them. Some poems are meant to be stated straight up, like driving a fast moving car and eyes on the road ahead. While some poems are meant to said softly, with flowers strewn across the road and lots of detours to smell them. I like your take on this poem.
And You said it as it is in a poetic way~ and You are very welcome~
