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

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
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

Comment from Yardier
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.
