Beneath Cloistered Bowers
Here beneath tendrils of green willow tree
Where sun seldom kisses darkening shade
A secret world exists for you and me
As we patiently wait for light to fade
Once brilliant sun sets, pale moon rises high
Your hands find their way to my secret place
From my lips escape pleasurable sighs
As my fluttering heart begins to race
Shedding our clothes beneath cloistered bowers
Time slips away, day blends into night
Whiling away tender passionate hours
Safe from prying eyes, hidden from their sight
Oh! My darling pray this night never ends
For here in your arms I’ll forever spend

I like how the green willow tree protects the privacy of the lovers. Very nice sound in the meter and rhyme of your Shakespearean sonnet.

You know how much I love willows, Linda, so from my point of view, you couldn’t go wrong with the setting! I’m looking at our willow out of the corner of my eye as I type, and the opening lines are perfect. I like the passion and romance of your sonnet.
