Beautifully composed Crown of Sonnets, Gungalo. Wonderful imagery in each verse, telling the tale of how the lovers share their passion and love, in and around the Lake of Dreams.
Congratulations to you both on a lovely collaboration!

Regards, Barb

A most enjoyable stream of fine romantic poetry inspired by intense feelings of love, and an acute appreciation of nature. Filled with fine imagery and beautifully presented.

"I see as if the darkness had no eyes,
my world is made of all your endless sighs."

Wonderful food for thought!!!

Beautiful poem and photo.

Just stay with me beside the lake till dawn,
when steamy mists rise all around and light
swirls 'round as pastels on a canvas drawn,
to watch the colors of the day turn bright.
There lie with me for hours and hold me long
within our bed of flowers each divine

Truly enjoyed, Jo

OH I wish I had a six for this one. How romantic, utterly in sync with one another. You can see one and the answere. Honestly this is one of the best you've done. Wow what love lies beside this special lake. Blessings and deep sighs...

Lovely sonnets...the theme is flowing over pebbles, tripping like droplets of light, upon the smooth stones.

Good alliteration:
swallows sipped sweet

I love some of your descriptive lines:
"in spangled corners fell"
"my world is made of all your endless sighs'

A beautiful crown of sonnets that flowed beautifully thanks to the connecting line .How did you do it, a verse at a time? It seems seamless in the reading.The images are clear and create a pictur e of bliss and tranquility.

Wow! Wish I had a new batch of sixes for this masterpiece! All those perfect sonnets! They aren't easy to do... I know, cuz I've tried. Love how you use the last line to begin the next. My favorite is this, because I know exactly what you mean: My world is made of all your endless sighs,

Hi Gungalo,

And there above the water's calming swell
we sat and watched the swallows flit and wing
and sipped sweet nectar as the shadows fell
with softest starlight' round us gathering
In purest passion were our spirits wed
beside a lake of dreams we made our bed

What beautiful sonnets and I feel written from the heart. You have painted quiet a picture with your words. It's as though your on some isolated island filled with passion where love blossoms and grows. Beautifully written and a pleasure to have read and reviewed.

This is a stunningly gorgeous work that literally gave me tingles reading it. I was daunted when I see the length but when I started reading I really did not want it to end. This is a joyous and glorious poem that you should be extremely proud of. Ignore the bland five star rating which was the maximum I could award. This work goes well above the rating system - it is sublime and awesome. Totally love it!
