Sonnet XIV

source Queen for my king 'twas how I felt with thee. And next to thine was where my heart belonged. To turn the tides and do things diff'rently, Mayhap now we'd sing a different song. This memory of passion in thine eyes, It burns me deep down to my very core. Thy heart, thy hands, thy body calling mine, My lord, my love, I could not ask for more. But I could not betray my truest friend, Who's eyes of longing held thee throughout time, And though my love which I could not extend, Was stifled, still thee read between the lines. And now though twenty years be dead and gone, Our sweet memory will burn ever on. —Michele Cameron Drew Copyright ©2009 Michele Cameron Drew. All Rights Reserved.

Castle in the Sun

There is a place within my dreams, Where we live out all the scenes, That only lovers can. He comes to me with gentle touch, A touch I find I need so much, The warmth is in his hands. He is all I'll ever need, He gives to me a tiny seed, To start a garden new. A garden we will live upon, And let our loving linger on, A beauty shared by few. As with our dreams we are fulfilled, Beside the garden we will build, Our castle in the sun. Never will the bond be broken. No words needed to be spoken. Forever we are one. And it will be a fortress grand, Protecting those upon it's land, This castle we will share, With all of those that we hold dear, They will come from far and near, To live upon it's fare. The garden fountain soon will be, A place for all to come and see, The finest in the land. Toss a penny, make a wish, And you will find a blessed kiss, Was placed upon your hand. There will be a joining now, The fountain it will tell you how, To live that dream you feel. For it is here that dreams come true, The dreams of love, you never knew, Could ever be for real. Forests of the finest wood, Standing where they've always stood, For miles everywhere, We will walk together on, Together spend a lifetime long, In love beyond compare. And we will rule this wonderous land, As king and queen in strength we'll stand, Knowing we have won, Because we took the time to love, We will be blessed from above, In our castle in the sun. —Michele Cameron Drew
