She is beautiful, Gene.
This poem is an eloquent praise song to her. And filled with love! It almost feels like a sonnet and flows well. I like the old-fashioned use of 'thee' in this!
Blessings,
Deb

Goodness, Eugene, well done on this sonnet! I wish I could do justice to them! It's sounding beautiful, almost Shakespearean. And the good thing about sonnets it keep your sentiments nicely compact which is when I think you're at your best. Thanks for sharing. Take care, Debbie

This work has reached the exceptional level

A beautiful write Eugene, elegant soft gentle words full of dedication and love, I adored the sentiments, the rhymes and the metre. Just two lines that are slightly out of metre, and I have some suggestions for you here;

Guiding my steps and lighting up my way.

suggestion for the sake of metre:
(your guiding steps are lighting up my way).

Like a bright, unquenchable, fiery star.

suggestion for the sake of metre:
(so bright unquenchable, my fiery star)

A magical and skilfully written sonnet, a joy to read, love Dolly x

    Thank you for the 6 star review. I appreciate your helpful reviews and suggestions. I'm actively working on learning to write in metre. Your review confirms I've made progress.

    Cheers,

    Eugene

Nicely done, Bermy. 'Mystic Gaze' has many fine classical nuances without being rigid or stuffy. I suggest two minor changes: [with their deep] to [with deep] and [lighting up my way] to [lighting my way]
All in all, a very good work.
