A Sonnet Of Love

If I were to have a lover

I would desire him to be like warmth of sun on my skin

When the world is frozen under my feet

If I were to have a lover

In my time of need

I would step in a garden full of lively flowers observing

As they smile at me

If I were to have a lover

His gifts would contain glorious feelings

As soft as the feather of a dove for my treat 

If I were to have a lover

He would relax my mind with the sweet words of endearment

As I traveled into a sonnet of love,lavishly

If I were to have a lover

A lover that could bring me joy

I would invite courage

To the doorsteps of my mind frequently

If I were to have a lover

A lover so genuine

A lover so compassionate

I would look up at the sky with a passionate and content mind

Ready to find my true destiny
